Mel

Mel joined Laura Leigh in 2018 bringing with her 30 years experience in the hairdressing industry.

After completing an NVQ level 3 in hairdressing and a diploma in beauty therapy Mel started her career as a stylist with the international company of Toni and Guy progressing quickly to Director level. During this time she spent time working with Toni & Guy in Cambridge and Knightsbridge London. Mel has participated in several industry competitions, photo shoots, and undertook many courses developing her own skills in advanced cutting techniques in London and Manchester.

Mel took a short break from salon life to have her two beautiful daughters Ella and Fleur. During this time she worked freelance and explored her love of holistic therapies and completed a diploma in reflexology.
She has continued to develop her knowledge and skills and is very proud to have been awarded the prestigious L’Oréal colour degree which is held by the most experienced colourists in the UK.

Mel enjoys all aspects of hairdressing from cutting precision bobs to curly styles. She loves creating texture and interest to both long and short hair and shares her knowledge and experience with the younger members of the team.

“ I believe by working with your hair’s natural movement and texture you will get the very best results. Combining colour and cut to complement one another. I believe it is essential to use quality salon professional products to help to protect your colour and maintain your style at home. I particularly love the Kerastase Chroma captive range which not only moisturises and nourishes your hair but guarantees you up to 40 days of colour intensity.

Over the years Mel has trained with leading product houses including TIGI, L’Oréal, Kerastase and SHU UMERA.
