Meet Melissa
35 years behind the chair and still loving every cut.
Melissa's Story
Melissa Young picked up her first pair of shears around 1990 and never put them down. Over 35 years later, she's still doing what she loves -- cutting, coloring, and styling hair for the people of Greene and the surrounding Chenango County area.
This isn't a revolving-door kind of salon. You sit in Melissa's chair, and she gives you her full attention. She listens. She remembers what worked last time and what didn't. She'll tell you straight if something won't look right on you -- and she'll help you find something that will.
She works with Redken professional products because they deliver consistent, reliable results. After three-plus decades in the business, she keeps up with current trends and techniques while staying true to the fundamentals that have kept clients coming back year after year.
For a lot of her clients, a trip to The Hair Loft isn't just an appointment. It's a conversation with someone they've known for years. That's the kind of place this is.
The Salon
The Hair Loft sits at 9 Cherry Street in Greene, NY -- same small town, same stylist, for over three decades. That kind of staying power says something. In a world where businesses come and go, Melissa's kept her doors open by doing good work and treating people right.
Clients describe the atmosphere as "very pleasant" -- which is the polite way of saying you can actually relax here. No rush, no upsell, no noise. Just a clean, comfortable chair and someone who knows what she's doing.
