Melt Hair Studio
from The HUB Issue 2
salon feature MELT HAIR STUDIO
Going from strength to strength, Melt owner Shantell Brady has been a hairdresser for just over 8 years, and has opened her first salon 1.5 years ago, now with a team of 6. A self-proclaimed blonde salon “however we do love a good, vibrant red!”, Melt has partnered with Haircare Group since their inception.
“Haircare has been so supportive during my short time with them as a business owner,” Says Shantell, “They are very welcoming and always happy to answer any questions I have. I can only see my relationship with Haircare growing and I am excited for the future.”
Understanding that her team make the studio, the atmosphere when you step into Melt is electric. With 6 different star signs on one team, everyone gets along and is warm and welcoming – a trait that Shantell says they work hard to maintain, “it is super important to us that all our clients feel as comfortable as possible. With communication and respect, the studio always runs smoothly as we know we are all on the same page. And we like to have fun, we spend more time at work than at home. It is important to not take things to seriously.”
Noting that education is important as the industry is always growing, (“we are constantly educating ourselves with the latest trends so we can provide the best services for our clientele,”) Shantell keeps her team inspired and engaged with the constant new trends by doing a lot of online education – especially in the current climate.
“I feel most creatively inspired in our studio, surrounded by the girls,” Shantell says, “And my team inspires me, seeing them reach their goals and watching them strive to be the best.”
Citing a lot of colour corrections coming through their studio, she says that any virgin hair is a dream client at the moment, and that a lot of her clients are loving the face framing pop – keeping hair bright for winter, but still lived in.
Shantell is “absolutely obsessed” with the Evo Platinum Blonde Fabuloso range, “it has been a game changer within our studio as majority of our clients are blonde. This product keeps our clients’ hair looking and feeing amazing. It does not over tone or make their hair feel dry”, and her best advice for colourists?
“Be creative, trust the process and be honest with your clients.”
Creativity, trust, a welcoming team and a strong leader? In just 1.5 years, Melt is already going from strength to strength and their future is just as bright as those face-framing foils.
