Meet Our Staff

Billy

Billy began his career as a hairstylist in 1974 in Boston. After four years he returned to his native State of Maine and opened his first salon in Waterville; now known as People’s Salon & Spa. In 2000, he decided to try out the Portland market,splitting his time between two locations. In 2002, Billy and Melissa purchased the Portland establishment and renamed it Knaughty Hair Salon.

Throughout his career, he has studied with many of the masters in the beauty profession, The Chadwicks, Jingles, Alan Benfield Bush, Tony & Guy, as well as many of the top educators at L’Oreal Professional. He continues to travel frequently to N.Y.C. to attend workshops, as well as across the country and Europe. For several years, Billy also served as a Senior Educator for ABBA, a professional care hair company, traveling around the country working many major trade shows; as well as educating others in the art of hair cutting, coloring, and finish work.

The beauty profession is a huge passion for Billy, and he enjoys working with his clients to help them bring out their best and feel good about the way they look. On a personal note, Billy also runs and owns The Pleasant Street Inn in Waterville and loves his two Jack Russell Terriers, Chauncey and Lucy.

Melissa

Melissa (also known as Mercedes) has been in the hair industry for over 20 years. She started her career at Matthew John in 1997. Melissa is a co-owner of Knaughty Hair Salon. Melissa has been educated by Rusk, Tigi, Vidal Sassoon, Framesi, and the latest, Loreal. She believes education is what makes a successful hairstylist keep current and also to educate the person sitting in the chair.

When Melissa is not at the salon, she enjoys spending time with her two children.
