Melonie is absolutely the best! She is an amazing stylist and an expert with Extensions of all types! I used to go to place in San Carlos and paid outrageous money compared to the rates offered by Melonie and Evolve. She also offered me options no other salon could. Melonie really knows her stuff. She will help you look fabulous at reasonable prices. I am so happy I found Melone and Evolve salon. I will never go anywhere else in the Bay Area. Wherever you are driving from...it is worth it to see Melonie at Evolve Salon in Los Gatos! Love my hair! read more

I absolutely love Melonie I have had so much trouble trying to find someone who does extensions and she knows exactly what she is doing. I get compliments on my hair all the time and it looks so natural. The quality of work she does is amazing. I recommend her if your looking to do extensions she is the person to go too. She is always helpful with accommodating to your schedule and time whenever I needed a touch up she always comes through. Thank you Melonie ! read more

Melonie is truly an expert in her field. After storing my hair scissors adjacent my hair brush you can imagine the heartache when inch by inch my hair ended up shorter. In desperation I began researching hair extensions. There were soooo many variables, costs, factors, results, etc. I was on overload. I found Melonie's website (hotgirlextensions) and sure enough it answered all of my questions and more. I rang her straight away. Not only is she HALF the price of other professionals, she is AWESOME! I am in love with my extensions and don't know how I'll ever go back. I don't trust ANYone with my hair - not even for trims or colors. But I can say without a doubt I will only go to Melonie for my extensions. If you follow her guidance and advice they last quite a long time as well (I'm going on 6months +). Ask all your questions. She knows every angle and will figure out what works for YOU. Melonie rocks and I highly recommend Amp'd Up Beauty! read more

Been going to Melonie for many years she does an amazing job with color, extensions & style of course! I can't fathom going to anyone else for my very fine and thin hair she's an amazing hairdresser and makes my hair look great read more

Melanie is simply the best!!! She's always accommodating with her schedule as a client who treks all the way from Oakland. And to not mention she does an amazing job transforming my short thin hair into long natural looking versatile healthy hair which you can put in a ponytail. read more

I first met Analise in beauty school as a walk-in client and she did such an amazing job that I continued to be her client. She is so talented that she made her own color palette for me and it looks like it's my natural color. I am constantly getting compliments on the color of my hair. She listens to what her clients want and repeats back to them what she heard so that she does the best job for them. I highly recommend her to my co-workers, friends or anyone who is looking for a fantastic stylist!!!! She is warm, light-hearted, loving, kind and a great sense of humor. read more

This woman is a genius and an artist!! From her A+ customer service to the time and careful attention she took helping me choose the hair and thoughtful placement of each weft and strand, Melonie is truly a top notch hair extension specialist. If you are on the fence about extensions, stop thinking and pick up the phone! I cannot express to you how awesome it feels to have thick, luxurious hair after so many decades of struggling to grow it past my shoulders. I went from thin, straggly hair to perfectly color matched curls - I don't want to be dramatic but it's life changing. I'm telling you, good hair makes EVERYTHING better! Here's how it works: I met with her at the beauty supply (a few doors down) where she helped select the exact color, style and quality of hair. We discussed what I was looking for (just length or thickness, etc) and choose the hair. Melonie is such a frequent customer that the store gives 'us' her discount....awesome!. We then went to her salon where she washed my hair and in less than 2 hours, installed a full head of multi-colored hair. =) She paid close attention to exactly where each extension would go, which way it faced and had special tricks to blend colors making them look even more realistic. She continually looked at the front to make sure placement was both balanced, flattering and not visible. She even taught me techniques for washing, drying and how to tame them in the wind so they don't become visible. I am thanking my lucky stars that I found her! You will not be sorry :) read more

Sienna SAVED my hair!! I came to her very upset with how my hair looked and she completely turned that around. We talked about the vision I had for how I wanted my hair to look and she captured it perfectly! Maintaining that blonde color can be such a struggle but I'm so happy I found Sienna because she makes it SO easy. I won't be going to anyone else from now on! read more

Melanie is the Best at hair extensions. She is very professional and will make sure that you are happy with your hair. AI recently had my make up and hair done in Las Vegas at one of the designer salons and they wanted to know where I got mine done. They said the job was excellent. When I told them how much I paid for the extensions they could not believe it because it was only a fraction of what they charged. This is the place to go!!!!! read more

I found Melonie through Yelp and made an appointment with her for hair extension two weeks ago. She is a fun person to talk to and she is absolutely FANTASTIC at braidless sew-in extensions. My hair looks so natural, awesome and I love it. Thank you Melonie! You are awesome and will see you next time. read more

I have a bipolar relationship with my hair. I did the whole chop it off and color it dark routine then I missed my highlights then I wanted it to be dark and healthy again. Anyway, I was dead set on getting extensions and I have always been curious about HOTGIRLEXTENSIONS. I finally decided to call and Melonie gave me her availability. We met for the consultation and she went into detail about the services and great prices she offered. She is very knowledgeable and patient (so if you have a million questions, she is more than happy to answer them ALL). We went over my options and I finally made my life changing decision. Being that I am not a millionaire, I settled with the temporary clip ins. Melonie met me at a location and at a time that was convenient for me. She was in and out within the hour. She is amazing at what she does and I am so thankful that I found her. My extensions were a hit at work and I can't believe how many people have asked me if I've been hiding my long locks behind my daily "bun". To be honest my new extensions made me extremely happy because for the first time in my life I had long beautiful hair. HOTGIRLEXTENSIONS is the best business that I have found on yelp yet! I recommend everyone that is unhappy with their hair, or even those that NEED to be, make an appointment and let Melonie work her magic on you! read more

I recently went to get hair extensions for the first time and I have to say I never been so amazed of how great my hair turned out! Melonie is definitely a true expert at what she does. She made me feel at ease and totally loved how informative and knowledgeable she was with her products and what would work best with my hair. She is a total perfectionist! Definitely will keep coming to her for hair extensions, her work is astonishing!! read more

I'm super happy with my gorgeous hair and have gotten plenty of compliments on it. Melonie totally knows what she's doing and made my hair wavy and natural looking. As a newbie to extensions, she explained the process of taking care of your hair to ensure it lasts and doesn't tangle. read more

I love this salon! I came to Melonie a few weeks before my wedding wanting to get extensions. She was great at explaining everything to me. She cuts straight to the point and doesn't mess around with her words, which is something I really value. She is not there to up sell you on anything. She is there to do her job and do it right. Everyone has been complimenting me on my hair thinking it's the real deal! They can't believe it's extensions. I wanted to dye my hair before my wedding and Melonie suggest Jorgete, the hair stylist at her salon. Jorgete is also amazing at what she does. She took so much time doing an amazing baylage on me only to have me show up in tears an hour later to have her turn it back to my natural color (bridal meltdown). She was so sweet about the whole thing and totally understood. I'll definitely be back. read more

Katlyn is amazing, I love her I've been going to her for over a year now and she has helped me get my hair to such a healthy state! Ive been looking for a new change and wanted something subtle but with a pop and she recommended a balayage. It came out just the way I wanted and added just the right amount of lightness. She also recently did my tape in extensions for New Year's to give me extra volume since my hair is thin. I looked fantastic and I got lots of compliments and my date loved it! When you look good you feel good and Katlyn makes me look amazing every time! She pays so much attention to detail I would highly recommend Katlyn! read more

i have had every kind of extension possible and i've always ripped them out despite opening a ton of money. She is the best, I still love them, they are comfortable, and look amazing. I got the beads with sewn in weave and I am elated. Love Melonie. Love the hair. read more

Melonie truly is a professional in the beauty industry. Let me just say that we got off to a bit of a rocky start- she had done the beaded sew-in for me and it just did NOT work for me. She came over a few days later to try another method and that worked out great! She and I communicated over text, phone, and email to figure out what to do, and she even offered me a refund in the event I didn't want anything else done to my hair. That's a full guaranteed service right there! Needless to say, I'll be seeing Melonie for all my hair needs in the future. She's really sweet and down to earth and has a ton of experience in the industry! read more

Shes amazinggggg won't find anyone better! Great pricing, extremely professional and she does an out of this world job!

Melonie is the BEST!!!! I can't express enough how great she is! Extremely professional with so many tips for great hair care. I came to her with my bundles and closure I bought online. I wanted a braidless sew in with the closure but she doesn't do closure's she had the perfect solution!! I'm a newbie with hair extensions but she made the process fun and I learned so much with her tips! Ladies if you're thinking about getting extensions go see Melonie:-) I made an appointment after reading her reviews on here and I'm glad I did! read more

Did my research before getting hair extensions and found that Melanie had the highest and best reviews--for good reason! She did an amazing job--my hair is baby fine and thin on top and no one could tell that I had them.. I get compliments from other stylists! i love them so much, I'm not sure that I ever want to NOT have them! Highly recommend Melanie! read more

Might be a good place for extensions as I can read here but don't go when you have problems/ medical conditions with your scalp and permanently losing some hair. One thing to make you feel better are hair extensions. I know it's not a permanent solution but it helps a woman feel good again for a while. So I took a consultation appointment with Melonie. I arrived 15 minutes early and asked if I should come back as she was with a client. Response was no. So I sat down and waited. While she was still with a client I was told that I was squeezed in anyways for my consultation. Makes you feel already rushed and unwanted. I asked if she had read my email where had explained my condition. Response: oh no I get too many emails. So I explained my condition again in front of clients sitting there. Needless to say how uncomfortable that feels. I was still smiling but wanted to cry. Still with her client she showed me colors telling me that grey does not exist. Ok I could have blended in with another color..Price was good. The fact how miserable I was treated there was my decision not to pursue with Melonie. Worse feeling of being unwanted read more

Melonie did an exceptional job on my fusion hair extensions. They blend so well and look so natural. She is a true professional and talented stylist. read more

Melanie is amazing! She knows what she's doing and knows what looks good. This was my first time getting a braidless sew in and now I am addicted, it's so comfortable and looks completely natural. I have had every type of extension method you can imagine put in with my previous hair stylist and the braidless method is hands down the best! She also corrected my blonde hair color and it turned out amazing. My husband is obsessed with my hair and says he has never seen it look so amazing. Melanie is super accommodating with her schedule and got me in right away, her prices are very reasonable too. I was with my previous hair stylist for 3 years, and just one appointment with Melanie and she had won me over. I will only let her touch my hair from now on, So happy I found her! read more

I tried for the 1st time braidless sew in hair extensions by Melonie and I must say she is the extension whisperer!!!!!!! She is very professional and I was blown away with her work ethics. I'm in love with my hair, it looks beautiful and natural. Even my husband who never ever comments on my hair said "wow this lady is an expert" your hair looks amazing! For a man to comment about it, it must look good! I have tried all methods and this braidless is by far the best!!! read more

Melonie did my hair for my wedding and of course i loved it. : ) She has now become my regular hair stylist. Her prices are reasonable and this chick knows her stuff. It's so hard to come by a stylist now adays that doesn't just want to get you out of the door but will tell you how to keep up your cut/look. She is def the route to go. read more

Amazing work and Melonie is the sweetest person to talk to about extensions. Her expertise and great personality is exceptional.

I love my hair cut from Melonie. She was running behind and still was able to get my hair done without rushing or having me feel like i was a nuisance. She acted professionally and actually fix my horrible hair cut. I loved what Melonie did though and I love that she saved my hair! read more

I have been going to Melanie for my extensions and color for over a year and she is by far the best. I recently moved to LA and went to a different salon to have my extensions tightened and the man RUINED my hair. I drove 7 hours back to San Jose- just to have Melanie fix my hair. I don't even want anyone else to touch my hair. Melanie is very professional and works very hard to give exactly what you are looking for. I would recommend Melanie to everyone looking to have great hair. read more

It's so nice to not have to feel pressured into services or buying or products during a salon visit. Melonie is always honest and straightforward with me. I had extensions put in while I was growing out my botched haircut (by another stylist). Now my hair has grown back and is healthier than ever! I had considered leaving the extensions in but Melonie was very sincere and encouraged me, instead, to simply take care of my natural hair. She really looks out for her clients and is passionate about her work. Im super neurotic about my hair and she is very meticulous and makes sure I'm happy with the work, which i appreciate. I now see her and only her for my regular trims. Her prices are extremely competitive and I highly recommend her, especially if you are considering extensions and are afraid to take the leap. I did and I'm so glad Im in good hands. read more

Melanie did my hair and make up for my Wedding Video shoot. She was totally accomadating by taking me at 7am. She is very sweet and professional and did an amazing job on my hair. My eye make was just stunning. I will post some pictures or the video up after my wedding so you can see the amazing job she did. read more

I have been using Melonie for the past 3 years. She did my extensions and color for my wedding and it looked amazing! So of course I kept coming back to her. She has great resonable rates too. I would recommend her, she's great! read more

So very glad I found Melonie!!!! I had originally put in hair extensions in Brazil and called Melonie and explained to her that I could not find anyone to put them back in using this certain technique. She was so nice that she was willing to do research on how to put them back in! Although, we couldn't find the actual Brazilian technique we ended up using beads to put them back in and I am so happy with the results. I will be seeing Melonie again. read more

It's been over a month and my hair looks great. This girl sure knows what she's doing. Every day I get complements on my beautiful hair. read more

I wish there were more stars bc she deserves ten!!!! I can not say enough great things about melonie. First she was totally accommodating. I asked for a next day appt and it actually happened ( good thing too otherwise I may have chickened out). She was great about explaining everything about the extensions ( I ended up with braidless sew in) afterwards we went down the street to pick out hair ( this is one of my fav parts bc without her I would have been totally clueless). I ended up with some great hair at a very affordable price ( we used her discount :)). And most importantly she def has magic hands bc my extensions came out AMAZING. When we were done I thought my hair came out better than I had imagined. Everyone who sees them says the extensions look so NATURAL and beautiful :) I had picked to use mealonie based on her yelp reviews and I'm so glad I did. if you need extensions you'd be crazy not to go to melonie. Great hair and a great experience. Ten stars:) read more

Don't look anywhere else Im telling you she's the best! read more
