Hello

I’m Melissa Tellez, a bilingual cosmetologist and founder of Beauty by Meli, based in the suburbs of Chicago, IL. From a young age, I discovered my passion for beauty by doing nails and styling hair for friends and special occasions. That early interest led me to begin my cosmetology training at the Technology Center of DuPage during high school, and I later completed my certification at College of DuPage in May 2025. At Beauty by Meli, I specialize in precision haircuts, Cezanne keratin treatments, nail care, braids, and special event styling. I’m committed to providing personalized, high-quality services that help each client feel confident and cared for.

My Story

Growing up in Mexico during part of my childhood gave me a deep appreciation for family, culture, beauty, creativity, and meaningful connection. At Beauty by Meli, I combine that foundation with a perfectionist mindset and a passion for making others feel confident and naturally beautiful. I’m dedicated to staying current with the latest techniques and trends to offer personalized, high-quality experiences that reflect each client’s unique style. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, staying active at the gym, and finding balance so I can bring my best self to every appointment.
