At yours
A private residence. Melissa comes to you. Same hands, quoted before you confirm.
A hotel suite
Melissa comes to the suite. Dakota Manchester is the first hotel on the list. Other high-end hotels, in Manchester or in London for the right client, by arrangement. Quoted first.
Tib Street, out of hours
By arrangement at the salon on Tib Street after the public floor has closed. One venue, never the default.
The colour journeyalways starts with Colourstart.
Colourstart is a licensed skin allergy alert test. You wear it for 48 hours before any colour. If the skin is clear, we colour. If it isn’t, we don’t. That is the whole rule.
- 01
The conversation
What you want the colour to do, how often you can sit, and what your last colour actually did to the hair.
- 02
Colourstart
A licensed skin allergy alert test. Applied at least 48 hours before any colour, and again if it has been more than six months. No reaction, we proceed. A reaction, we stop. Colour never happens without it.
- 03
The formula
Mixed for your hair, not a swatch wall. Blend, grey blending or correction, planned so the grow-out stays quiet.
- 04
The finish
Cut and style to the colour, not the other way around. You leave with hair that works on a Tuesday, not only in the mirror.

One question that is not on the menu
There is no public price list. After the consultation you receive a written quote, and nothing is confirmed until you accept it.
Say what you need, and where Melissa should sit: a private residence, a hotel suite, or Tib Street out of hours. Manchester first. London for the right client. Melissa reads every enquiry personally.
