Michelle a native of Chicago, brings 19+ years’ experience behind the chair. Her desire to learn about hair lead her to move to Denver, Colorado to attend the Tony & Guy Academy. After graduation, Michelle landed a job at a Tony & Guy salon in London.
She's a bonafide lover of hair. "I just love to cut and color. It's as simple as that. Hair styling is such a fun, artistic and creative way to make a living and an incredible career choice, one that enables me to meet great people, make others feel good about themselves and do new and exciting things every single day."
Michelle believes strongly in advanced education which she has received from some of the most prestigious educators in the world like Aveda, Vidal Sassoon, Sharon Blain and Tony & Guy. "When you're from the Midwest, sometimes you have to travel to learn from the best.” Some of the things Michelle likes to do when she's not working - road trips, overseas travel, a nice long walk with a good playlist, a girl’s trip involving a beach, music, dancing and being grateful for family and friends.
