Melissa Gaunt

I’m Melissa Gaunt, owner and operator of Hair Restoration by Melz. I’ve had the privilege of dedicating 40 years of my life to serving my loyal clients. As a licensed NJ cosmetologist, my specialty is working with clients who experience thinning hair and hair loss, though I truly enjoy working with every client who sits in my chair. It has always been my sincere pleasure to collaborate with many talented hairstylists. Two in particular, Kyle Ross and Rosie Rackliffe, bring incredible skill along with heart and soul. I’m so grateful to call them my teammates. The mission I share with my team is simple: to help people rediscover their confidence. We believe that transforming someone’s look is about more than just a new hairstyle, it’s about giving them a renewed outlook and the confidence to shine. My team and I look forward to continuing to support every client with genuine care, compassion, and kindness.

Kyle Ross

With over 13 years of experience behind the chair, I’m a dedicated hairstylist specializing in scalp health, wigs, and hair pieces. My passion lies in helping clients not only look their best but feel confident and cared for—especially those experiencing hair loss or scalp concerns. Whether it’s creating a natural look with a custom wig, restoring scalp balance, or simply offering a fresh style, I bring a personalized, compassionate approach to every service. My goal is to provide solutions that are as beautiful as they are empowering.

Rosie Rackliffe

My name is Rosie. I’ve been a hairstylist for over 10 years, and I’m passionate about helping every client who sits in my chair feel confident and beautiful. I specialize in balayage and natural, sun-kissed looks but I enjoy all parts of hair artistry. For me, it’s more than just hair, it’s about helping people feel comfortable, cared for, and confident. Whether it’s a fresh new color or just a trim, I love giving my clients an experience that leaves them smiling.
