About Melinda

Melinda started her career in cosmetology as a junior in high school while living in upstate New York.  (Having a mother who went to beauty school in London, with the famous Vidal Sasson, introduced her to the beauty industry at a young age.)   After moving to Arizona in the 80s, she continued her education in Scottsdale, where she worked for many years as a hair stylist, aestitition, make-up artist, and educator.   She owned and operated "Connections" in Tempe Arizona from 1993-1995, an innovative consulting and referral business to help clients improve their looks and well being. She then took a break from her career to focus on family.  After relocating  to Wisconsin, she started her training in 2002, with Cyberhair and hair restoration, being mentored by Bob Benishek of Wisconsin Hairgoods.  Melinda and her family then moved to Colorado and she continued her work, with Cyberhair and hair replacement, with the mentorship of Dee Mitchell of Professional Hair Institute of Colorado until April 2018.  She is opening up FACE EVERYTHING in Westminster, Colorado in May 2018.

Having a sister with alopecia, and years of education and experience,  have given Melinda insight on how to help others solve their individual hair loss concerns. "It was told to me, 'trying on wigs in a salon is like trying on underwear with the salesperson in the dressing room'.  It is my goal to respectfully help consider all solution options and find what will best suit our client needs."  Melinda has started a support group to help those who suffer with hair loss connect to others who have similar issues.  "whether it is alopecia, trichotillomania, cancer, scaring, aging, medication...it doesn't matter how/why your have hair loss, the effects can be devastating.  Having support from others can really help."

Melinda has also been awarded for her efforts in giving away FREE Cyberhair Private Issue Wigs to children under 18 with medically related hair loss.  With the Just Live Life:kids program, Sponsored by Aderans Corp, She has saved families thousands of dollars!!

There isn't anything more important than family to Melinda.  She has been married to Francis for over 20 years, and together they have been raising 5 children.  "There is so much to face when you are raising a large family these days,  Sometimes I feel like they teach me more than I teach them.  I'm grateful for their love and support as I launch FACE EVERYTHING."   Melinda is a proud mother of a 26, 21, 19, 18, and 16 year old.  When she is not working, she is usually taking nature hikes, gardening, or fishing with Fran, hanging out with one of her kids, or playing with her lovely cat Luna.  She also enjoys travel, art, nature, movies, animals, music, and of course, wine and good food with her girlfriends.  "I cherish time family and friends, I am grateful for them all".  Her plans now are to "face" her own fears of business ownership and have faith that she can offer top of the line, professional, high quality products and services at a fair price.  Melinda is truly grateful for all her past, present, and future clients.    Book your complementary consultation with Melinda and check out her new studio!
