L&M Hair Lounge, owned by Melody Brown, has quickly become a cornerstone of haircare in North East Portland, Oregon. Melody launched L&M as an online store in 2020 and expanded to her first salon in 2022. By 2023, she opened a second location, showcasing her dedication and entrepreneurial spirit. But the story doesn't end there.

Melody's journey began with an online store, catering to a growing demand for quality hair products. The success of this venture led her to open the first L&M Hair Lounge salon in 2022. Just a year later, she opened a second salon, solidifying L&M's presence in the Portland haircare scene. Each salon provides a welcoming atmosphere where clients can enjoy top-notch services tailored to their unique haircare needs as they specialize in textured hair.

In addition to running two salons, Melody also founded the Wealthy Hair Stylist Academy. This academy is dedicated to teaching students how to work with textured hair and helps them obtain their licenses. Melody's commitment to education and empowerment is evident in the comprehensive training her students receive, preparing them for successful careers in the haircare industry.

During a recent trip to Portland, Besa Gordon, host of Back2Besa, stopped by L&M Hair Lounge's Broadway location to learn more about the salon and its services. Impressed by what she discovered, Besa shared her plans to visit L&M Hair Lounge again the next time she's in Portland. She was pleased to find that the salon is conveniently located near Hotel Vance, the official hotel of Back2Besa.
