Hello December - Hello Everyone...I know I have been quiet lately ! - I just want to thank all of my clients for being so understanding these past few weeks as I had to take an early leave because this pregnancy has been very different!... I will miss you all and I will definitely keep you all updated when I return! - Also, a huge shoutout to the girls at @volumesalonthornton for accommodating and taking care of everyone for me while im off, I truly appreciate it! Take Care & Stay Safe! - Melissa xo

Working til Baby Smith #2.... As of right now my plan is to work til the First week of December(which has been fully booked already). Iam now booking for end of October and November! but it all depends on how this momma feels body wise..also it will depend on the covid situations and hopefully it will continue to be safe to stay open and the numbers will stay low. I will keep you posted if anything changes! So if I were you, I would PREBOOK NOW to secure your spot as appo...intments book up very quickly! - Also keep in mind that due to the current and everchanging covid situations I will not be accepting anyone with any type of cold or flu like symptoms. You will need to reschedule your appointment immediately but i know time is getting tight til when im off so please be patient and understanding with me I know a lot of you have been asking what my plan is when I come back to work so my goal is to be off for a couple months and come back part time days/hours but i`m definitely leaning towards beginning of April for when i return. I will keep you all updated! As every pregnancy is different! - Thankyou for your continued support! See more

Hey Everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know that my schedule has been REDUCED due to the new protocols and care for Alivia at this time unfortunately. I'm trying to do the best that I can and as of right now I'm booking into mid August and thats not even touching my wait list of 40 people. So if you're one of those people that are on the wait list and if you cant wait I totally understand! I have given a heads up to Sofia and Julia at Volume Salon and the ladies will take good care of you there too! Just be patient at this time as colours are not just a touch up they are full colour corrections at this time which makes up to be a longer appointment! - Thankyou!

Dear Clients, As Ontario enters Phase Two of re-opening the economy we all need to remember that we are still very much in a middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. In attempt to keep you and I ( and our famillies) safe during these times, I ask you that you please take note of the following new protocols that are effective immediately. Things will be done differently! First and foremost if you are feeling ill or have any kind of Flu like symptoms you will need to reschedule your ...appointment immediately. All high traffic areas in my home and studio will be properly santized between each client. Arrive on time. I ask you to stay outside and text/call me when you are here. If you arrive early I ask you to kindly wait in your car until I send you a message when I'm ready in case I'm running behind. Upon entering my house you will be asked to fill out a Questionnaire, Sanitize and do a Temperature check. Masks are reccomended, if you don't have one, I will provide you one with a small fee. Please come with clean hair and clothes No Food or Drink in the studio There will be no waiting room. Please arrive to your appointment alone. Sorry no children or friends will be able to join you at this time. For Families who come together, I will talk to you personally and arrange something. No Facial waxing or Facial grooming at the time until further notice by the health board. Forum of payment will be Cash,Debit,Credit Card ex Mastercard and American Express. Thankyou all so much for your patience during these difficult times. We all need to remember to do our part to keep each other safe. Melissa See more

My official re-open date will be Tuesday July 7th 2020. This will give me enough time to make sure I have all of the personal protective equipment in stock. - If your appointment got cancelled due to Covid, I will reach out to you FIRST to rebook! Please keep an eye out for a text. I will be starting to send them out this Friday! - My schedule has changed and appointments and availability will be limited! *please note, I will not hold appointments*... - Your patience at this time is very important and please believe me when I say that I'm trying to do my best to get you all in with the time that I have with the new protocols. - If any point that I feel pressured or disrespected you will not get an appointment with me, feel free to go somewhere else! - Thankyou for your understanding! - CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU ALL!! See more

UPDATE - Hello Everyone! YES! You all heard the good news that all salons are able to open as of this Friday... BUT, with that being said there are A LOT of guidelines and preparation and that need to be done and followed before I can completely open. - PLEASE BE PATIENT with me as I'm only ONE person! I'm also being extra careful as this is a home business. I will be posting on my page and personal with all the proper health and safety protocols when I'm ready to open.... - You will need to give me at least 2-3 more weeks so that I can make sure I'm well prepared with the proper equipment! - Once I'm ready I will be contacting the ones that had a scheduled appointment from Mid March on. If this is you then you will be rescheduled FIRST! I will reach out to YOU and schedule your new appointment! - I do have a wait list going and you can message me to be added to it! - I'm excited to get back behind the chair but just a HEADS UP it will be a bit different! - Be patient. BE Kind. Stay tuned for more details! - Have a happy hair day! See more

UPDATE I have been getting many messages asking when I will be able to take clients again. The answer is I DONT KNOW BUT i'm hoping very soon as I miss all of you!!!... What will happen when the government gives me the "green light" to open? All my clients that had a scheduled appointment from Mid March and on will be rescheduled FIRST! I have already made a list and I will reach out to YOU and schedule your new appointment! *when an opening date has been announced* Can I book a hair appointment now? If you werent already booked previously than I have you on a Wait List/Cancellation List. When a spot opens up I will reach out to YOU! Please be patient with me as I'm only one person and I will do my very very BEST to accommodate each of you *when an opening date has been announced* I will let everyone know two weeks ahead of time when I can get everything ordered and running for the new protocol and the healthy and safety measures that will be in effect to make sure everyone is safe! Miss you all and thankyou for patiently waiting! I hope everyone is staying safe! Mels.HairStudio See more

To my clients Please just be safe This quarantine is serious. COVID-19 is serious.Being healthy is serious! With that being said if you are at the point that you tried to hold off until this quarantine is over..but doing a root touch up at home or having a partner clean up your haircut feels like your only option right now. Then DO IT. I wont shame you! ... Either way when I do open back up. I will be there for YOU! If you have any questions or you need help with anything! Send me a message! Stay Healthy! #myhomestudio #covid-19 #thisisserious #bettersafethensorry #letsworktogether #iamhereforyou #yourhaircanwait #supportyoursmallbusiness#barriehairstylist See more

Helpful tips for all my Blonde Babes! - 1. Use heat protection every single day! Especially in the summer! 2. Purple Shampoo is your BEST FRIEND! Also a great deep conditioning mask! 3. I know you dont want to but you need to atleast do "Baby Trims".... 4. Please listen to your hairstylist when they tell you no more bleach. 5. Patience is key! - Have a happy hair day! #myhomestudio #blondetips #blondebabes #hairtips #nofilter #blonde #hairstylist #hair #blondeme #swarskopfprofessional #highlights See more
