About Me(l)

As a child, I had this raw creative energy and endless curiosity for a variety of things. Let’s say I see the world like an endless matter of possibilities where beauty lurks in the unknown. And hey, do I love seeing and creating beautiful things.


One thing I loved most was going to the salon with my mother. I’d watch the hairstylists at work, I put them on a pedestal, I wanted to be just like them; a hair and make-up artist, always striving to bring out the best of the best. As my curiosity became my o b s e s s i o n – I can’t get enough of hair hair hair – it’s safe to say I am living my dream. I will always remain the curious student who wants to learn more, see more, dwell in possibilities until I find the perfect method to achieve the results I have in mind. This not only goes for my work, it is how I live my life. Every day.

After working as an assistent at various hair salons for years, I knew I had to take all these steps to gain the right knowledge until I was ready. During this time I not only discovered the power of human interaction through my passion for cutting hair. I also discovered that everyone is a whole world, and every single person I cross paths with, everyone who comes and sit in my chair, teaches me something. This is how I came to develop and hone my craft the way I do now.


Anyway, after all these years I woke up one day and decided to finally take the jump and create the bubble I now call Mingle & Mane; a hair salon and make-up studio for creatives, the ones who add colour to the world, the ones who brighten your day with their silly quirks, a safe place for everyone who wants to express their personality through their hair, skin and/or make-up. Oh yes, I salute you all. Welcome to the beehive, welcome to Mingle & Mane.

 

Love, Mel
