I can not say enough positive things about Belle Melange Salon and the outcome of my wedding day hairstyle. My hair looked amazing (Photos linked to business)!! As a matter of fact, ALL my bridesmaids hairstyles looked amazing!! I received a card from the owner, Shaunte, a few days ago thanking me for allowing them to take part in my wedding day beauty plans. Cost for wedding trial and day of style - $100.00 (not including tip) It doesn't get any better than that ladies!! :) So if you're looking for a salon for your wedding hairstyle, or heck just a salon (its multi-cultural) to go to in general....go visit Shaunte and the crew at BELLE! read more

I heard about this salon from Kiana in our natural hair group on Facebook after she posted pics of how awesome her hair looked. I decided to check them out. I haven't been to a salon in 9 years so I was crazy nervous. The ladies there are hella nice and know their stuff. Shaunte is the stylist who did my wash/conditioner and trim. She is also the owner. I have been natural for 2+ years and she treated my hair very well. I was shocked to see how long it really was. She didn't get trim happy either, she only cut about 1/2 inches off and it felt & looked awesome! They get you in and out there is no sitting around for a whole day at Belle Melange. This is a HUGE plus for me! I took my mom there before Christmas and they took good care of her hair too. I am a mama's girl so if you can make her happy, you get major kuddos from me! The appearance of the salon is clean, the restroom is pretty, very spa like. They have nice music playing and there is NO and I mean NO catty mess popping off in there. No drama at all, nothing but good energy. I will not be going to any other salon as long as Belle Melange is in the valley! read more

Belle Melange Salon - Day after styling. - Hair Salons Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My history with hair salons has been abysmal...dare I say, TRAGIC. Any other time, somehow I wind up either looking like Tootie (from Facts of Life) or some really old woman from a 70's sit-com (neither of those looks are flattering on me). In fact, I believe I have only been happy TWO times after getting my hair done at a salon. Yesterday, that TWO got bumped up to THREE times! Thank you soooooo much Deja! I went in for a hair consultation a few weeks ago and met with Deja to discuss what I would like to have done to my hair and set up my appointment. Yesterday I arrived at my appointment and from the time I got there to the time I left, I think she and the other people in the salon had me laughing about 90% of the time (the other 10% I was gasping for air from laughing so hard). What a great group of people! *Side Note: And I think it's a wonderful thing when stylists don't have overlapping appointments so that a two hour appointment turns into ten hours because two hands can only do so much! I can't even BEGIN to tell you how much I appreciated being the only scheduled client for that time slot.* And as for my hairstyle, I have NEVER been more pleased! I LOVE IT! And even after sleeping on it, I woke up this morning and I loved it (I wasn't even sure this was possible) EVEN MORE THAN YESTERDAY! I'm a happy camper and don't believe I will go anywhere else. I have finally found somewhere that my tresses feel safe from harm and I don't have to worry about walking out of the salon looking like like one of the Super Mario Brothers mushroom people. read more

I think I first learned of this place when my sister gave me a coupon to come here. We've been here one other time since then and will come back. My daughter is 1/2 Chinese and 1/2 Black, which makes for very interesting hair. Her brother has the smooth textured hair with giant ringlets, while my daughter has super tight curls and very course hair. It has been awful trying to find someone that knows how to work with her hair, but this is the place. My daughter's hair has several different textures of hair and they were able to work with her hair, get it straightened out without putting harsh chemicals in it. It's only temporarily straightened. They showed us how to straighten her hair and put big ringlet curls in it. Granted, they do this all day long and know how, so it takes us a lot longer. The person we had the 2nd time, which I can't remember her name right now, did a great job at instructing us and even let me take video of her doing my daughter's hair. Now my daughter does her own hair and it's saved me a ton of stress. We'll be back later this year. Thanks for the wonderful job you do! read more

What a nice local salon! Belle Melange reminds me of the small neighborhood salons I grew up with on the east coast. Everyone was very friendly, the place is clean and I have a good haircut. The prices at Belle Melange are very reasonable too. I'll be going there again, hopefully I finally found the right salon for me in AZ! read more

I just moved from Eugene, OR to Ahwatukee. After reading reviews and seeing the photos that were posted I went directly to the website and asked to be contacted to schedule a consultation with Shaunte. I recieved a phone call that next day to schedule. Upon entering the salon I was welcomed graciously. Shaunte was there to greet me, ready to consult. She immediately understood what I desired and I scheduled an appointment for a cut and color the next day! I'm thrilled to report that I have found a "hair" home! I absolutely love everything she did...even how she styled it! I have two daughters 9 & 7...they're going in next week. read more

I absolutely loved the results love my new hair !!! Summer ready!! shaunte was great at creating an amazing look for me and made my hair feel so healthy and look fabulous thank you !!!!!!! would absolutely recommend her services read more

Moving from the East Coast several months ago, I hoped and prayed (Literally) that I would find a hair salon that specialized in my type of hair-relaxed and gorgeous of course! Found it at Belle Melange. I usually go for a basic wash and wrap style, nothing too complex. The staff is always friendly and I leave the salon feeling like a Diva. The cool thing about this salon, what you wouldn't normally find on the East Coast, is that it's multicultural. You'll find beauticians of all nationalities working on all types of hair. Very cool. read more

Seriously this salon rocks. I introduced my girl Jill C. there way back when she was looking for a new salon along with a potential salon for her wedding updo. I told her that they would take good care of her and not only did Shaunte and Deja make her looking absolutely stunning on her wedding day, Deme and the rest of the ladies made sure that us ladies in the wedding party looked fantastic too. Every time someone ask me where I get my hair done, I let them know Belle Melange is where I go and it is where you should go to. Speaking of which I need to make another appointment asap! read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS SALON! SEE MY PROFILE PIC- Its a sample of Shaunte's work. Not only does Shaunte know how to work with all hair types but she is a true visionary, she does the mental mapping of your style before she gets started as opposed to thinking about it as she goes along. She executes with precision and she takes her time . What I also find important is cross checking, she cross checks in each direction, section by tiny section. She has made a family of new clients ,hopefully for a long time to come. read more

I was initially apprehensive about going to a salon due to a long history of salon horror stories but I decided to give Belle Melange a try. Shaunte styled my hair, which is natural in less than two hours; I received a wash, condition, blow out, trim and flat iron. My hair has never looked better. Beautiful salon and great customer service with styling tailored to your needs. I will be back again! read more

I wear my hair naturally and was curious about the salon. When I saw the Hawt on Yelp, I decided it was time to give them a try. The vibe is friendly and welcoming. The staff were all happy to be there and very helpful. Deme was pleasant and did a wonderful job on coloring my hair with my very vague desire to "want something different". They are experienced with all kinds of textures and so even if you want braids or a perm or a weave or whatever... they can meet the need which is just what I wanted as I tend to change my mind & look often. Great Salon! read more

So their website says men's cuts, but I just called and they said they do not handle men's hair and wanted to refer me to a barber. They should update their website. read more

After searching for months for a stylist I went to Belle Melange. The owner Shaunte actually cut and styled my hair. I'm not sure if she was in a hurry that day but I was NOT happy with the cut that I got and I am still very disappointed at how uneven and unmanageable my hair is--and the price tag was not cheap. Needless to say I now have more work to do to get my hair back in shape. I can certainly say that I WILL NOT be back nor will I recommend this salon to anyone I know. read more

I usually don't write reviews but reading the ones on this site helped me decide where to go, so I'm paying it forward. I haven't been to a traditional salon in FOREVER but I wanted to get a haircut and I didn't think my Dominican salon could handle it. The salon is located in the back of the barber shop so you have to walk through it to get to the chairs. Didn't feel weird at all though, all the guys were super friendly. I booked a consultation first to make sure I would feel comfortable putting my hair in their hands. There were two ladies there, I showed them what I was thinking and they walked me through what the style would actually look like on my head. They were very welcoming, I felt like I had known them forever. Not the same experience I've had at salons in the past where nobody smiles and you feel like you're interrupting their lunch. In the end I felt comfortable enough to make an appointment and I'm going back in a few hours! Only negative was that they tried to talk me into getting a weave, or pieces, idk. It's just not my thing. Other than that it's a positive environment all around and I'm looking forward to seeing how my haircut comes out! read more

I brought my four year old daughter in for her first salon hair cut. The salon is clean and beautifully decorated. All of the people that worked there were super nice. My daughter's hair cut turned our perfectly - wonderful job! I will definitely go back again. read more

Belle Melange is a new-er salon in Ahwatukee. Thoughtful details and excellent technique make this place my favorite salon. I moved out of state, but will only allow Shaunte at Belle Melange to cut and color my uncooperative fine hair - so my hair must wait for my trips to AZ! I followed Shaunte (the owner of Belle Melange) from another salon in Phoenix, and I am thrilled she has created such a beautiful, full-service, top notch salon! They offer a full range of services, from hair to skin to nails and even recently added a masseur. The environment of the salon is excellent, but nothing compares to the actual services you receive there - In the past, I've paid up to $400 for a good cut and color at other salons and have not received nearly the quality services I receive from Belle Melange. Belle Melange is very reasonable for the expert service you receive. I always go in with a vague idea of what I want and Shaunte has the vision and skill to see what works well with my hair to bring out the best in it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

This is the only place I will go. Demi helped me grow my hair out after too many relaxers had broken some areas off. Now my hair is long and healthy and relaxer free :) I go here for cuts, deep conditioning and styles for special events and am always pleased with the results. I love having someone I can trust with my unusual and difficult hair (biracial). I am excited to try their agave smoothing treatment in a few weeks! read more

I'm new to Arizona from Detroit ,I searched yelp for a new stylist, when I came across Belle Melange Salon. The staff was awesome, friendly they made sure my daughter and I were comfortable. (I was told Shaunte specialize in short cuts when I first phoned in) my look nice when leaving the shop. By the end of the I wrapped it up as all always awoke the next morning only to look as if I hadn't just gotten it done. It's just a lesson learned. You get what you pay for. I enjoyed the company but I didn't go there for that. P.s was hair done at a different shop. read more

I have very short thick hair so after a fresh cut, I usually end up with a "rooster tail" that I need to deal with for a few weeks. Not after a cut from Ms. fox. I love my hair, I loved the ombiance and conversation. I'll be back. read more

I have very curly, frizzy, long and thick Jewish girl hair. I loved the salon I went to growing up, and have pretty much been searching for a good stylist since college. Some cuts were more tragic than others. After a traumatic, dowdy mom-do, I decided to stop cutting my hair and just get trims only when necessary. Fast forward 4 years and my hair was nasty and ugly and decided it was time for a new trim. Not too much off because of course I've been traumatized. Booked an appointment based on the yelp reviews at Belle Melange. When I walked in I was greeted by Angela and felt really comfortable with her...so I did the unthinkable and let her cut a style into my locks. I walked out of the salon feeling confident for the first time in a while and I have never had so many compliments on a haircut! Looks awesome curly or straight and the price was right too. Update: I visited the salon in July 2013 as they were changing over from Belle Melange to the Salon at Lefty's, and I don't know if they will continue to cut all hair types. It was a great cut, but I found another salon that focuses specifically on my type of curls. Star deducted for atmosphere. It was tucked away in a back room - definitely not something I'm used to or comfortable with. read more

I went to Belle Melange when my usual stylist was out of town and I'm so glad I did! Emma did a great job on my hair and was able to match my old color almost perfectly and make my highlights look better than ever. Plus she did an awesome job on my cut. The salon also does nails, facials, waxing, etc. Everyone I saw in the salon was so nice and accommodating (plus all the other customers looked good too!!). I'll definitely be going back! read more
