Owner

Behind The Chair Since: 2003

When she was 24, Melanie looked everywhere for the perfect salon home, but couldn’t find one that felt like it really fit. She was inspired to open her own and now she has created something truly magical at Virtue Salon. She has also educated hundreds of hairdressers in the industry through Level Head Collective, our education team. Melanie is creative, detail-oriented, and one of the most fun people on our team.
