About

Melissa is a native Cape Codder. She graduated from Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School, and Blaine Hair School in Hyannis. 14 years later she has opened Salon 17. "I always wanted to open up my own business. My grandparents owned Mildred's Chowder House back in the day, and I saw firsthand the joy and satisfaction that came from really hard work and good community business practices." Melissa's favorite thing to do hair is formal wear, coloring and highlighting.

Melissa enjoys many activities on her spare time. She likes to travel, root on New England sports teams, and enjoy time with her family and friends. "Every morning I sit down and watch hair video how to's from various stylists and read articles on what is new in the industry."
