Melo Beauty - Rochester (NY)

Cohen Sprague This salon is absolutely incredible. Staff to owner, everyone is so unbelievably kind. Arley has been my stylist for awhile. He consistently provides detailed information on how to handle my hair and goes above and beyond to provide the extra information for all the little things that might bother me with my hair care even if its unrelated to what Im doing that day. He even gave wonderful advice to my girlfriend who wasnt a customer there at the time. Not to mention how incredibly affordable hair care is here compared to the area. All around I couldnt recommend another place in Rochester to find quality service! I will go here for my haircuts every time for as long as I can!

Mary Rose A Great place! Love the decor and vibe, and Bianca was awesome. She listened to me and did an amazing job on my hair. Love that you can make online appointments - super appreciated by a hearing impaired gal. Looking forward to going back and to many future excellent cuts!

Casey Hernandez If you’re looking for a hairdresser that takes the time to understand what you’re looking for, who will go above and beyond to make sure you’re satisfied with your hair. Who can teach you the proper way to style and take care of your hair Elena is your girl! She’s been nothing short of amazing every time I sit in her chair. She makes sure you feel comfortable, and relaxed. Their suite is just the cutest little private spot. They offer coffee and other beverages so you can just sit back and relax. And did I mention the scalp massage! One of my favorite parts of getting my hair done is the scalp massage and Elena is the best at it! I’ll be returning until she no longer does hair. 5 stars all around!

April Coffey This was my first time visiting Shear Ego and I am SO happy to have found Alyssa! I came in with terrible brassy, grown-out highlights from another salon that I needed fixed. Alyssa lightened them to a beautiful fresh blonde and added some lowlights that all match perfectly with my skin tone. She worked efficiently but still took her time with me and my hair looks and feels so healthy and beautiful! I will definitely be back. The best part is no one here tried to sell me anything else and before she started working she let me know the price so there were no surprises.

Cait Wilmot I can’t say enough good things about getting my hair cut and colored by Brooke here. Every time she’s done my hair, she pays such attention to detail and puts so much care into what she does. She not only takes my requests and executes them flawlessly but improves on anything I could’ve expected. The amount of hard work and the level of service at W Salon, plus the friendly staff and lovely atmosphere, make it such a phenomenal place to come to, not to mention their more than reasonable prices. If you’re looking to get a hair cut, color, or style, cannot recommend highly enough.

Tina DaCosta What a Fabulous experience and a gorgeous hair style too! You can tell the owner and manager of Wosa’s has been successfully in the business of hair braiding and locs for over 30’s! It shows in every detail, from the time I just stopped by to find out about their services, made my appointment, discussed hair care, laughed and chatted in the chair while my hair was braided, and the grand finale, a gorgeous new hair style beyond my expectations! I highly recommend Wosa’s! I had natural hair with some grey, and I wanted to try long braids, something new for me. Wosa mixed grey with black hair extensions, small to medium size box braids, the length of my back.The braid technique looks natural and soft, like braided hair should be, and the grey makes it “pop!” - like highlights! Wosa and her assistant Dezi were wonderful to work with, and so professional; very important to sustain a business. Wosa’s knows how to make each Clint feel special, even if a person just stopped in to ask a question or say hello, they keep working on the client in the chair and give appropriate attention to the others. Brava Wosa! I’m Looking forward to another 30+ years of excellent service in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you!

Bridget L Best salon I have found in Rochester. The atmosphere is welcoming, upbeat, and positive. Very friendly staff. Charlie, my stylist, takes his time to ensure he understands what I want. He works with me and offers suggestions and color options to compliment my features. He has an incredible eye for detail and flawless techniques. He takes his time to give me styling tips and pointers on how to maintain my hair. I have never received so many compliments on my hair, as I have since being with Charlie!! It is an extremely positive experience every time I visit the Gallery Salon!!

Malinda Amborski Nicole is top notch! Every time I leave the salon feeling like a million dollars. Her talent with color and cuts is second to none. My hair has never felt or looked better!!!

Elizabeth Clapp Toni had created a place that is soo much more than a salon. She’s curated the things she’s passionate about and loves to share with others. I was listened to, entertained, connected with other clients and oh yeah got a terrific hair cut and a little treat for myself on the way out. In a city full of amazingly run small businesses this one too has something amazing to offer. Pop in, look around, enjoy.

Andrea LoTurco Firstly, the studio is the cutest thing ever! Everything is so aesthetically pleasing and very much tailored to the client! It is spacious and has a huge window with lots of natural light so it feels very open in there. There is a little snack bar with treats as well as Whatever drink you prefer! Also, she has a dang ice machine! I love a drink with ice so that is such a nice touch. You can tell that Abbi Was so intentional about the space because everything in there feels cohesive with her brand and branding Colors. That’s just the beginning, the intentionality makes me as the client feel at home and in good hands because you can tell a lot of work went into the small details of the space In general. Abbi Is one of the most kind, genuine and open-minded people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting! She truly seeks to provide her client with a great experience as well as a great result! I love the fact that she continues to seek out education opportunities to hone Her craft and she doesn’t keep it to herself. She is a huge advocate for educating other hairstylist and sharing how she has learned and grown in her business. One of the things that sets her apart, I feel, is her genuine love and care for people beyond a paycheck. She helps to customize my hair color or extensions Specifically to me. With her, it is not just a one-size-fits-all, but she takes so many other things into account to give you the best hair for you As an individual. I have been with Abbi For two years now, and I have never loved my hair more! I get compliments daily on my hair and people are truly shocked when I tell them that I have extensions in Because they are that seamless and undetected. She has provided me with the education as well to continue to allow my hair to thrive outside of the salon. I feel truly equipped to care for my hair and a healthy way And protect its longevity! I truly feel more confident, more myself and like a rockstar with my hair on a daily basis. I cannot recommend the salon and Abbi more!!
