  I just wanted to take a moment to update my old review from 2008 and say that I am still going to Melanie and still THRILLED with her! She is fantastic! If you have curly hair and have been looking for someone to help you keep them looking their best, don't hesitate to make an appointment with Melanie!

  I am still going to Melanie after two and a half years and moving to Kalamazoo; she's worth the drive. She has cut my hair to different lengths and styles over the years and this summer, I went short for the first time in decades. I love the fact that no matter how she's cut or styled it, I LOVE MY HAIR. There is never the I'll-like-it-when-it-grows-out-a-bit feeling I used to have. As long as she keeps cutting hair, she will be my stylist.

  I waited until my second cut with Melanie before submitting this rating. I thought perhaps my first great cut was just a fluke. Let's see if she can do it two times in a row----and the answer was YES she can! At the end of a long day of doing updos for young ladies going to the prom that night, Melanie not only gave me a great cut, she makes you feel like the most important client of the day. She is just a doll and radiates energy, enthusiasm, and passion about her work and life in general. I have and will recommend her to anyone with or without curly hair!

  Melanie is great at what she does! She relates so well to her clients because she has curly hair as well, so she knows what we do and don't want. She gives great advice that you can start applying immediately. Best part? The advice actually works :) She has clients of varying hair types. I'm a transitioning 3c and she cut (dry) , washed and styled my hair dry with no problem. The finished product looks awesome, and I've gotten lots of compliments from friends. You know how other stylists act like they're holding some deep dark secret? Yeah, not her, she talks you through the whole process and answered any questions I had. I'll definitely be going back.

  She listens to every idea you have, and sculpts your hair to the exact idea you had. She has a great personality and even though I don't get my hair cut often she always remembers me.

  Wow..Wow I can't believe after 7 years of bad hair cuts in three different States I finally found someone who understands my hair. I'm Asian but my hair are not poker straight, matter of fact it's curly and coarse. Most stylist assume it's a perm. This is the first time in a long time someone took the time to ask me questions about what outcome am I expecting. I told her to please fix the last hair cut I recieved (5 days of crying)4 months ago. She not only fixed it she got me to love my her again. My husband was all smiles when he saw the happy tears and beautiful curls.Thank you

  I've never been to a curly hair specialist before and I will not go back after going to Melanie! It's so nice to finally have someone fixing my hair who not only knows what they are doing but can give me some tips on new hair dos, color, and cuts. Before I found Melanie, other stylists would take approximately 5 hours to highlight my hair and it usually ended in tears because they would brush out my hair! I was soo surprised that Melanie could do it in about 2 and a half hours and tear free! Not only is she great with hair, she is very friendly and helpful. I would recommend her to anyone (and both of my sisters--who also have curly hair-- have already gone to hear and feel the same way).

  I had a pretty bad experience with a haircut here. Without saying too much, don't get your bangs trimmed here and if they ask you if you want to "thicken" them up, SAY NO! After a year, I am just now liking my hair again. I'm going to continue to drive to Royal Oak for my $55.00 haircuts!!

  I would recommend this salon and Melanie. I moved from Tennessee to Michigan. I was worried I would not find a stylist that would take the time with me, but I found her.

  I would definitely recommend Melanie to anyone with curly hair! I am in Lansing for school, and found her name on this website. I especially love that the haircut is so good that even when I style it myself, I love how it turns out! I also agree with the last review, regarding how she goes through every step and tells you exactly what she's doing. As long as I live in Michigan, I'll keep going back!

  This review is long overdue! My hair is extremely frizzy, curly, and rebellious. I wore my hair in a pony tail every day because no matter what I did my hair would not behave. I read the reviews here and decided to see Melanie in October of 2009. It was a definite bonus that she is so close to Michigan State campus, the bus practically takes me right there.It is the Best thing I have ever done! She explained what she was doing every step of the way. Afterward, I felt like I had lost about 5 pounds of hair. My curls were frizz-free, bouncy, and healthy looking. I have been seeing Melanie ever since and will be making road trips back to East Lansing to see her every summer. Good bye pony tails!!

  Earlier this year I went to a salon near my home that I THOUGHT knew how to cut curly hair. Boy was I wrong! (I should have known when I found out there was NO diffuser in the whole salon.) After that fiasco, I vowed that even though it is an almost two hour drive to Lansing, I was going to try Melanie at Mirabella. Her suggestions gave me confidence to trust her and I am so glad I did. I love the cut and color she gave me. Thanks Melanie!

  I recently moved to East Lansing from NYC. Since I use to go to Devachan in NYC, I thought it was going to be hard finding a curly hair stylist here. Thank gosh for this website. After reading the reviews below, I booked an appt with Melanie. She gave me a beautiful cut and color! My curls look great. She's also a really nice stylist and fun to talk to. Definately mention to her that you heard about her through this website, she loves to hear it.

  For the first time, I walked out of a salon and was in love with my hair. I hate trying new stylists, but Melanie put my fears to rest and she had great advice. My husband actually commented on how nice my hair looked(a first). She is definitely my new hair stylist, even if it is about an hour drive.

  I made an appointment with Melanie after reading the reviews here, and was not disappointed! She did cut my hair dry, which was something I had been wanting to try. And not only did I leave with a great cut, I also learned a great deal about how to care for and style my curls. And on top of all that, Melanie is super nice and has great curls herself!

  I have been driving over an hour to have my hair cut! Then I met Melanie who's less than 2 miles away. After talking with her I said "Go ahead and cut it". She cut it dry which is my preference and it is one of the best I've had! She also has curly hair so she understands what we go through. I'd highly recommend her! Feel free to contact me.

  I've been driving an hour to have my hair cut by someone I feel knows and understands cutting curly hair. Then I met Melanie and went in for a consultation and decided to let her cut it that day. She cut it dry, which I prefer, and I think it may be the best cut I've had. The curls lay perfectly. She has curly hair, so she's knows what it's all about. Now I only have to drive 5 minutes!! I follow the 'Curly Girl' regimen and she was interested in hearing about and is going to get the book. I'd highly recommend Melanie! Feel free to contact me. Janice
