Melissa GoudeauMelissa Pittman Goudeau, a resident of Youngsville, Louisiana, is a co-owner of the Cut House Salon, an amazing twenty-stylist salon in Lafayette, Louisiana. Melissa graduated as a Ragin' Cajun from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. She graduted with a degree in secondary English and became an honors English teacher at a Lafayette high school. After teaching for a while, she finally mustered up the courage to begin her longtime dream of completing cosmetology school. After three years as a stylist, she opened the Cut House Salon with a partner. While at her salon, Melissa has become a master at Invisible Bead Extensions and has built a full clientele. After being asked for advice on going to cosmetology school from many clients--asking for themselves, a friend, or their child--Melissa searched for resources about the beauty industry. When she realized the absence of these resources, she began writing So You Wanna Be a Hairstylist. She hopes this book will help aid those who are thinking about a career in beauty.
