About Tu Bella

At Tu Bella we understand how difficult it may be to have hair loss due to a medical condition, medication, or genetics. Our mission is to help you find a hair solution that makes you feel and look beautiful inside and out.

Tu Bella is a proud member of the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, American Hair Loss Counsel, and Trichotillomania Learning Center.

Melissa opened Tu Bella in 2002 after being inspired by her own mother’s hair loss fifteen years prior. It was at that time she found herself wanting to know more about hair loss and wanted to become a Hair Loss Specialist. Melissa began her education by traveling to China and England to learn the craft of wig making.

In 2004, she became a LOOK GOOD FEEL BETTER volunteer, which helps women with hair loss and skin effects from chemotherapy. In addition, she did extensive training in Italy with Cesare Ragazzi in the art and science of wig making, application and maintenance.

Melissa has taken great strides to offer clients the best in hair loss products that are available globally. She is working alongside Cesare Ragazzi, Follea, New Image Labs, Gemtress, Hair U Wear, Renee of Paris, and Theradome.

In 2013, she relocated Tu Bella to Lisle, Illinois in a larger facility, which has allowed her to expand her hair loss business, providing care to hundreds of clients.

In 2024, after long anticipation, Tu Bella has grown to new heights. This has prompted Melissa to open a second location in sunny Naples, Florida, providing the same care and attention to detail to a new city, and to new clients.
