Mellissa Tate 

My career began 20 years ago, but you could say it started even earlier—doing my friends' hair and experimenting on my own, even trying the 'kool aid technique.' I’ve always had a passion for hair. I’ve been perfecting my craft in the Napa Valley ever since. The best feeling is when my clients leave my chair feeling even better than when they sat down. While I absolutely love creating lived-in color, the rebel in me enjoys creating bold, vivid looks just as much. Anything color-related is my passion. When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll find me with my nose in a book, cuddling with one of my fur babies, rocking out to Paramore, or spending time with my husband.
