Melissa Murray
What’s up, buttercup? I’m Melissa — an Aveda-trained hair professional, A-list honors graduate, and certified color educator. With over 20 years of customer service experience, I’m passionate about delivering a personalized, detail-oriented salon experience that combines artistry, precision, and genuine connection.
I specialize in modern blonding and custom color — from dimensional highlights to balayage (a French hand-painting technique) and foiliage — as well as curl cuts and bespoke color design. Whether you’re looking to enhance your natural texture, transform your blonde, or refresh your color, my goal is to create sophisticated, healthy, and effortlessly elevated looks tailored to you.
Before finding my home behind the chair, I studied fashion design at the University of Wisconsin and was recognized by the State of Minnesota for my international artistry as a pianist and performer. When I’m not in the salon, you’ll often find me moonlighting as a piano bar entertainer, blending creativity, music, and connection in everything I do.
I can’t wait to meet you and help you reach your hair dreams!

Lived-in Color
Some call this a balayage or foiliage or ombre. These looks require so many techniques and sometimes I use them all to get to a desired look. So, to make things easier I have broken them down into easier packages. These packages are all inclusive from the beginning to the end. In the event that your hair type requires more than the allotted time or color, I may need to add that to the package price.
