Samantha A.I had SUCH a great experience at Melted Mane!! Abby did a phenomenal job with my hair. I went in with not much of a vision for my hair and she immediately picked up on everything I was trying to say and executed it perfectly. My hair has never looked so good AND been healthy and thick. The ambiance and decor in there is so lovely, plus all the refreshments are a great touch. I will definitely be coming back.
