Melissa Schiavone | Founder & Master Stylist, Modern Salon Fairfield

Melissa Schiavone is a master hairstylist, global educator, and the visionary behind Modern Salon in Fairfield, Connecticut—where luxury haircare meets precision artistry. With over 27 years of experience, Melissa is known for delivering a couture, white-glove salon experience tailored to each client.

Her career began in New York City before she built a loyal following over 25 years in Larchmont, NY. Today, she brings that same elevated expertise to Fairfield County, specializing in luxury hair color, precision cutting, and effortless, long-lasting results.

Melissa has traveled the world—including London, Paris, Italy, Germany, and South America—refining her craft and staying at the forefront of global beauty trends. As a L’Oréal Professionnel Color Ambassador, and with decades of experience working with Goldwell color, she creates rich, dimensional, customized color while maintaining the integrity of the hair.

She is best known for her signature “Melissa Cut”—a precision technique designed around your face shape and lifestyle, allowing your hair to fall perfectly into place and grow out beautifully for months.

Her journey is deeply rooted in family, love, and legacy. Inspired by generations of women in her family and supported by her husband, Frank Schiavone—a top real estate professional with Compass, licensed in both New York and Connecticut—Melissa built her career with passion and purpose. Together, they married in 2024 and brought her vision to life in Fairfield County, where they are building their future alongside their English Bulldog, Stella D’oro.

Modern Salon is more than a salon—it’s a boutique, fashion-forward destination where luxury meets comfort. Every detail is intentional. Every service is personalized. Every client leaves feeling like the most elevated version of themselves.

If you’re looking for expert hair color, precision haircuts, and a true luxury salon experience in Fairfield County, Melissa Schiavone is the name clients trust.
