Technicians

Melinda has been in the salon industry since 1984, and has always had a vision of creating the ultimate work environment for stylists and technicians. That vision has now come to fruition, as Salone de Capelli.

Being a wife and mother of two, Melinda is concerned with the products we use on ourselves and our children. The choices we make, in the shampoos and lotions we use, can really make a difference. Capelli offers organic hair and skin care products, as well as fair-trade, organic beverages. It is truly a salon with “green” ideals.

“I truly hope you enjoy your visit to Salon de Capelli at the historically renovated Village at Grand Traverse Commons.”
