Meet the Artists Behind the Chair

The Standard Salon & Spa was founded by Melyssa Delongpre with a simple mission: to create a space where beauty, comfort, and creativity come together. Formerly Azure Salon, we’ve rebranded and expanded into a full-service destination offering expert hair care, spa services, and curated wellness—all under one roof in Independence, MO.
Here, every service is personalized, every stylist is empowered, and every guest is part of the family.

Melyssa Beier 

Melyssa is a devoted wife, mother of five, and passionate small business owner. She has made it her mission to show that women can absolutely provide for their families while still being present and engaged as mothers and wives.

In 2021, Melyssa and her family relocated from California, bringing with them a dream to create a salon that offers luxury hair care for the entire family. She firmly believes that everyone deserves to feel like the most beautiful version of themselves—and to have a welcoming space where they can feel confident and comfortable.

Melyssa specializes in blonding, extensions, color corrections, and all things bridal. Her artistry and dedication to her craft are evident in every client she serves.

When she’s not at the salon, you can find Melyssa soaking up the sun and spending quality time with her family.
