Our Story: A Salon in Historic Merritt Park Place

Adore Salon is the result of a long-held dream. Our owner, Leah Crisafulli, spent 20 years imagining a beautiful space carved out of Merritt Island's historic Merritt Park Place neighborhood, a salon that would care for your hair, nails and skin in a totally new atmosphere with a chic, retro style. In August 2013 that dream opened its doors at 290 Parnell Street.

A 1950s building, lovingly restored

Rather than starting with a blank box, we chose a building with history. While completely renovating our 1950s building we preserved its character, restoring the original Merritt Island pine floors and adding the classic touch of modern chandeliers. The result is a salon that feels warm and personal, with the clean-lined, contemporary details you expect from a modern studio.

Most importantly, behind the vintage charm we have the latest in hair and nail technology, so you can enjoy the atmosphere without compromising on results.

What makes Adore different

Built around you

Our tagline is simple: you should leave feeling completely adored, every time. That shapes everything, from the consultation at the start of your appointment to the aftercare advice you take home.

A team, not just a salon

Leah built Adore by bringing together hand-picked artists with a passion for their craft: master hair stylists, hair stylists, nail artists, a Janssen-certified skin care and waxing specialist and a makeup artist. Meet the Adore artists.

Part of the neighborhood

Merritt Park Place is one of Merritt Island's established neighborhoods, and we are proud to be part of it.

Our promise to every guest

  • We listen before we cut, color or treat.
  • We explain your options, timing and upkeep honestly.
  • We use quality professional products such as Unite, Janssen, CND and OPI.
  • We keep learning, so we can embrace the latest salon trends while respecting classic style.

Chic retro meets contemporary

Our look is a blend of old and new. The restored pine floors and the shape of a 1950s building give the salon its warmth and character; clean lines, modern chandeliers and contemporary finishes keep it fresh. It is a space designed to feel relaxing the moment you walk in, whether you are here for a quick trim or a full day of wedding preparations.

The same thinking runs through our work: we respect classic techniques and timeless style, and we keep learning so we can offer the latest salon trends and up-to-date hair and nail technology.
