Melissa is one of the newest members of our amazing Studio Savvy team (aka The Glam Squad).

Melissa is a graduate of Bellus Academy where she excelled in learning how to be a hair stylist and colorist. So naturally, she wasn’t satisfied with just that high achievement, and she wanted to soar with the eagles. The next logical step was head for the pinnacle of hair and color in San Diego, so she came to Studio Savvy Salon.
Being one of our younger birds, if you come in for an appointment, there is a high probability Melissa will be washing your hair. She loves this task, and trust us, Melissa makes the entire experience at the salon a joy for you and for us. As an associate stylist Melissa will perform blowouts, many of our styling procedures, and perform many of the hair treatments we offer in the salon. Her passion is to be part of the team that makes you look and feel sensational from the second you walk in the door, until the final reveal when we give the finishing touches of an amazing blow dry.
Melissa is already servicing some of her own clientele in the salon, and has completed the advanced training all the Savvy Stylists go through when they come to work at Studio Savvy. In her own selfless and wonderful words, you sense what Melissa is all about by this quote:
“My dream is to inspire others and give back what has been given to me.”
