  Lunatic Fringe Salon

  Sept 2003 - Jul 2007

  Co-Owner - Manager

  I was part of creating and building out the Lunatic Fringe, Sugarhouse location. I managed 15-20 stylists, had weekly coaching sessions with each one and created an amazing work environment where my stylists thrived and it showed with steady and consistent sales growth. For the whole company, which included two other locations at the time, I organized multiple charity events, helped create policy and procedure & business systems, facilitated the marketing and advertising.

  The Mynt Martini

  May 2005 - Aug 2007

  Co-Owner

  My love of people and hosting events led me to building out a high-end ultra lounge where Salt Lake locals and visitors could mix and mingle with the best. Our signature martini's and regular DJ's made the demand high and the line of eager guests would wrap around the corner trying to get in.

  Melinda Jae Productions

  Aug 2011 - now

  My negotiation skills and attention to detail mean my productions are cost effective and run smooth. My experience working on-set in Utah for over 15 years means I know the best stylists with the niche talents to elevate your production. My extensive experience with hair, makeup, team management and working with successful commercial photographers has made a transition into the production world seamless. I absolutely love using all skill sets to orchestrate a flawlessly ran shoot and know how to negotiate fair rates so the production is affordable and everyone feels well compensated.Clients include:City Creek CenterThe Grand AmericaYoung Living Essential OilNuSkin IntlUnicityBGZ Brands
