About Me

Hi, my name is Melanie Avery and I own a hairdressing and MUA business based in Great Torrington, Devon. I have been a fully qualified hairdresser for 20+ years and have around 9 years experience working in a salon. I then designed my own space at my home in Torrington. I qualified as an MUA over two years ago and have combined the skills to gain plenty of experience in the industry. 

I am an easy-to-chat-to person and enjoy meeting new people and seeing familiar faces in the salon. I listen to your desired ideas and advise you based on the needs of your hair, fusing our thought processes together to create your sought-after style. I am also trained in Keratin treatments, helping you to look after your hair and reviving it when necessary. 

I have always prided myself on making my salon services affordable and always ensure you get your dream hair at a fair price. 

I qualified as an MUA 2 years ago and absolutely love creating different looks for different occasions. I love making people feel amazing and confident!

Weddings have become my specilaity and I feel incredibly lucky to be part of so many fantastic bride's (and groom's) special days. I will ensure you feel calm and comfortable, are listened to and help you to create the picture perfect look that you want. My aim is to make sure you feel the most beautiful you've ever felt- especially knowing how it feels being a recent bride myself.

My daughter, Kayleigh Newcombe, has recently qualified as an MUA and often helps me to create desired looks, having a similar style to myself. We work well as a creative team and always leave feeling over the moon with how wonderful brides feel. 

I have training in spray tans and can create packages for you where needed. I have many other contacts in the beauty world for any other services you need. 

I look forward to hearing from you,

Mel.
