We’re Alma & Mela

We've been doing hair a long time — and we still love it just as much as the day we started. For us, this isn’t just about scissors and styles. It’s about people. Every person who walks through our door brings their own story, and it’s our joy to help them feel seen, confident, and beautiful in their own skin.

We’ve been lucky to call Charlottesville home for many years now, and the folks we’ve met along the way — neighbors, friends, families — they’ve become part of our story too. We take our time, we listen, and we treat everyone like we’d want to be treated. If you sit in our chair, you're not just getting your hair done — you're part of the Alma & Mela family.
