Melissa's Salon Concepts was conceived and developed by Herb Lakin.  Melissa is our daughter.  Mr. Lakin was a licensed Hair Stylist for over 30 years.  As a licensed Cosmetologist and a Barber, Mr. Lakin drew on his knowledge and experience.  He developed a line of beauty support products and organizers that have "Revolutionized" the industry today.  First and foremost was all products had to have a consensus.  Participation by focus groups.  Feedback was the key to success.  Products can and will be plagiarized by opportunists.  Developers will always lead by vision.  Being a part of a family of Cosmo's was an enormous asset.  From my Father, the Barber to Sister's-in-Law, cousins and other family members, idea's flowed.  Thank you, for all your contributions.  And, a big thank you to Margie of Class Act Salon.

Melissa's Organizers are "GREAT" .........because they work!

Our products are assisted in the development process by the client base that uses them.  Each Beauty Professional is encouraged to continue to send in requests to perfect an excellent product and evolve it into exactly what they
Want / Require  /Demand!  We simply.................Listen to our clients!
