Just a friendly reminder that I’m currently away for a road trip this week ☺️
I’ll be back in the salon on Monday, August 10th & will be responding to all work messages as soon as I’m back.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding—I truly appreciate each and every one of you🩵
P.S. If you’d like to follow along with some of this week’s adventures let me know in the comments below! ⛰️🚙🌲

The goal was to create soft, lived-in dimension for low maintenance blonde ✨

A little update for all my clients 💛
I’ve always kept my personal life fairly private, but this year has been especially challenging. Between food poisoning, pneumonia, and my ongoing struggles with migraines I’ve spent several months feeling under the weather.
Having to shuffle appointments or cancel on short notice is something I never want to do. My commitment to my clients has always been one of my biggest priorities—but the reality of being self employed is that the work never really stops.
Now heading into my 15th year in the hair industry 🤯 it’s become pretty clear that I need to make more room for rest. My body has been telling me that for a while now, and it’s time I start listening.
With that in mind I’ll be taking two vacation breaks this summer:
☀️ August 3–10
☀️ August 31–September 7
It’s been three years since my husband and I have had more than a long weekend off together, and we’re really looking forward to some much needed quality time in the back country!
I know stepping away means I’ll have to say no to more inquiries than I’d like, especially with my schedule already booking so far in advance. As always I encourage my regular clients to pre-book whenever possible to guarantee an appointment. That being said cancellations do happen and my schedule can change quickly.
For now my books are closed to new clients as the next 12 weeks are already quite full.
I truly can’t thank you all enough—for every referral, every appointment, every recommendation, and for all of my amazing OG clients who have supported me through the years. To everyone cheering us on from the sidelines at Miint, thank you for being here!!
This busy season will pass and I’m looking forward to welcoming new faces again in the fall. Until then I hope you all have a healthy, happy summer. ☀️🩵
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support it never goes unnoticed!

Would you believe that this hair hasn’t been foiled since September?!
Full head of babylights = seamless grow out 🙌🏻
We just did a healthy trim today & this is the end result. Foils don’t have to mean maintenance if they are done right 😍

Another blonde journey begins ✨
Session one progress was focused on creating soft, seamless brightness while maintaining the health and integrity of her hair.
Dream client status: she left with all of her recommended hair care to keep her hair healthy, strong, and ready for even more blonding while preserving that gorgeous length 😍

Hi! I’m Mel, the face behind Miint Hair Studio ☺️
I’ve been in the hair industry for 14 years (crazy!) and for the past 7, I’ve built Miint into what it is today—something that truly reflects my passion for lived-in, effortless hair and creating a space where you feel comfortable the moment you sit in my chair.
The success of Miint is also thanks to my husband, who works endlessly behind the scenes with me 🤍
When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll usually find me outside—hiking, exploring, and soaking up everything the west coast has to offer 🌿 (and spoiling my dog just a little too much)
Thank you to everyone who has supported me, trusted me, and grown with me over the years. I don’t take it lightly.
I’m so glad you’re here—and I look forward to welcoming new faces into my chair 🤍
