Hi friends! 

I’m Mel (she/her), Studio Director and Haircutting Specialist here at Lucero. I’m passionate about big transformations, gender-affirming haircuts, curly cuts, and helping you bring your creative vision to life. I also offer color services, hair replacement systems, and pretty much everything else we have in the shop! Getting my own hair done has always been one of my favorite things, and it’s been a dream to create a safe, inclusive space where everyone can leave feeling just as great about their hair as I do after a fresh cut.

 I’m a Scorpio, so I thrive on challenges and pour my heart into everything I do. Outside of work, you’ll probably find me reading, rock climbing, or being a devoted cat mom to two little furballs. When I’m not doing that, I’m most likely with the love of my life, enjoying good food, or exploring the mountains (or, if I’m lucky, all of the above!).
