Meshelle
As the owner of the salon, Meshelle has a personal interest in making
sure every person that walks through Black Orchid's doors has an
enjoyable and satisfying experience. After becoming frustrated by
previous work environments, she endeavored to create a new type of
salon that focuses primarily on quality of service and promoting a
healthy work environment. This is visible in details such as the
quality of the hair and skin products used at the salon and the time
she takes to make sure the stylists are not only familiar with the
products, but are confident they're using the best possible products so
that they can be sure every client will go home happy. Each stylist at
Black Orchid was hand-picked by Meshelle for their talent, enthusiasm,
and desire to continue improving their skills on a daily basis. Her
goal from the beginning has been to create an atmosphere that
encourages learning and inspires creative expression. It is obvious
from the satisfaction of Black Orchid's customers and stylists that she
has achieved that goal.
In terms of cutting hair, Meshelle has always been interested in the
Sassoon method of precision cutting. She uses this method to create
stronger shape for a longer lasting haircut while enhancing texture and
movement. She also enjoys doing runway-style hair for fashion shows and
events, especially when she is able to have fun while working for a
cause she believes in. In addition, she loves working with curly,
textured hair and getting the chance to teach people how to work with
the natural texture of their hair, whether it be curly and frizzy hair
or straight hair that needs a little extra movement. In her spare time
Meshelle enjoys working with her hands to create other kinds of art,
such has carpentry and interior design. Her talent in these areas is
evident in the comfortable and relaxing ambiance of Black Orchid, which
she designed herself.
