So.... I moved to LA from Chicago 2 months ago and was a bit nervous about being able to find a hairstylist here. In Chicago, I frequented my fellow Roller Derby Girls hair salon establishments and was on the search for something similar here. I recently met a fellow co-workers wife, whose hair and style is akin to mine. Her hair was beautifully cut, black with raging red chunks. Woah...Where do you get your hair done? Was told Sit Still and Mel is the gal. I called up on a Monday or a Tuesday and asked when I could come in. Had a cancellation ....How about coming in tonight @ 6:30pm. Schweet. My hair was getting seriously out of control. I met Mel. She is so welcoming and listened to what I had to say but offers great advice when I wasn't too sure which direction to take with certain aspects. By the way, she has the longest natural eyelashes I have ever seen. off topic i know but just had to say. She was very excited to get to it and do something different. Black with blue. Think updated funky Louise Brooks styling. She is the most thorough unhurried hairstylist I have ever had work on my hair before. The color: Foils and bleach for an almost highlight effect that once was done was applied with midnight blue manic panic. *which by the by, she gave me the remainder of the manic panic bottle for me to reapply until it was time to come back. The haircut: Her exacting skills were expertly applied to my bob and especially on my bangs, which have never been exactly right. It was beautiful. have NEVER received so many compliments from strangers and friends alike.She said if I need a clean up on my bangs or the neck to call and and come in. No charge. Didn't think that has ever been offered to me before. **I did stop by 3 weeks later and she sure enough fixed up my bangs even better than the 1st time she cut them. Seriously, check this talented hairstylist out. MEL thank you and will be coming back soon!\r

Pros: Fabulous stylist with amazing skills
Cons: This was MY bad but be careful if you park in the garage after late hours...you could get locked in if you go 2 or more levels down.
