About Mèche Beauty Lounge

A laidback downtown escape.

When you step into Mèche, located in Wallingford’s charming downtown, you’re welcomed into a warm and inviting salon experience surrounded by local businesses like art studios and vibrant restaurants. As you push open our slightly stubborn door, you enter a cozy space with four stations and a retail area. With a thoughtfully curated atmosphere, your appointment at Mèche is not just a visit—it’s a high-end, yet easy-going experience designed to make you feel pampered and appreciated.

At our Wallingford Salon, we combine our extensive education and industry experience with a relaxing atmosphere to create a salon home you'll never want to leave.

At Mèche, we prioritize a compassionate and personal experience while helping you achieve your hair goals. This commitment is what makes us one of the top salons in Wallingford. While some on our team specialize in hair extensions at the salon, all of our highly trained stylists are skilled in expertly blended hair color, cuts, and styling.

My Hair Journey

As a licensed stylist since 2007, I have gained valuable experience as both a stylist and nail technician in traditional salons across Connecticut, as well as a traveling bridal hair stylist throughout New England. My journey has inspired me to become a leader in a space that aligns with my values and expertise, which is why I opened Mèche in 2016. Initially, I specialized in hair and bridal services, but in 2020, I made a significant shift by becoming certified in Invisible Bead Extensions®. As a certified Elite Artist and the 2024 IBE® Master Technician of the Year, I take pride in ensuring each extension installation is precise, so every guest leaves with comfortable, healthy, and confidence-boosting hair.

Who I am:

Outside of the salon, I love spending time with my husband and toddler, treasuring the simple, meaningful moments. I also enjoy exploring great restaurants and fine wine, savoring the little joys in life, and quiet evenings at home.

My Hair Journey

Since 2012, I’ve dedicated my career to highlighting each client’s unique beauty through personalized haircuts and colors. Becoming a Kevin Murphy educator in 2018 allowed me to grow exponentially by collaborating with some of the most talented stylists in the industry. I further honed my skills by earning my Masters of Balayage Master certification in 2021 and my Invisible Bead Extensions® certification in 2023. I thrive during wedding season, creating stunning looks for brides and their parties, which is one of my favorite parts of what I do. With a commitment to ongoing education and guest experience, you can count on me to deliver personalized recommendations that align with your hair goals and lifestyle.

Who I am:

Outside of the salon, I’m in my element surrounded by plants and enjoying time at garden centers. I love indulging in Haagen-Dazs Cookie Dough Ice Cream or Ben & Jerry’s American Dream Cone while getting lost in a good book. My weekends are dedicated to family, cheering on my son at hockey games and my daughter at softball, cherishing every joyful moment with my husband and kids.

Stylist Opportunities

We foster a humble stylist culture that supports collective impact & ongoing education.

Mèche is more than just a salon; it's a place where our stylists work together to elevate our industry and give every client the exceptional experience they deserve. We prioritize 'community over competition,' creating a supportive environment that encourages growth and learning for everyone.

Our Story

Redefining what a salon experience can be.

Opening Mèche was a dream born from the desire to rewrite the hair salon culture. My journey through various salons showed me how heavily leadership and stylist camaraderie can enhance the experience for guests. I wanted to create a space where both stylists and guests felt valued and empowered.

I envisioned a place where clients could feel true-to-themselves, free from idealistic pressures.

When the opportunity for my dream Wallingford salon space became available, I jumped at the chance, driven by the vision of a collaborative and inviting salon. Now, many years later, Mèche is a testament to that vision, where everyone thrives in a positive, encouraging environment.
