Salon Director

Michelle Marshall

They said Michelle couldn’t be a hairdresser and tried to push her into childcare! That didn’t put her off and at 15 years old she started a Saturday job at a trendy hair salon called Marc Jordan 2. There she saw how exciting the hairdressing industry could be and how much of an impact a hairdresser has on a client's life.

Michelle then completed an apprenticeship after finishing school and went on to work in a few salons around Cardiff where training wasn’t a priority. Michelle then found the right position in a north Cardiff salon that really focused on education and put team development at the forefront of the salon.

She learnt the importance of the total salon experience from a client’s perspective and quickly developed into a popular stylist becoming an Assistant Manager along the way. This stood her in good stead to later take on her own salon as she understood the need for guests to be treated with respect and understanding.

For the last 12 years, Michelle has been a Global Redken Artist.  This sees her travelling nationally and internationally to help other like-minded salon professionals to be the best that they can be at delivering the ultimate salon experience.

Michelle loves nothing better than to recreate styles and solve problems that guests have with their hair. Balayage, babylights and creative colour being her forté.  Her favourite product line has got to be the Extreme range with Extreme Length her first choice for faster-growing hair.

When not working in the salons, Michelle has devoted much of her time to travelling the world, educating and inspiring fellow hair stylists.  With a passion for helping hairdressers reach their full potential, she loves nothing better than mentoring her team and supporting their individual growth within the salon environment.  We regularly take time away from the salon to grow as a team—collaborating on future plans and refining the services we offer our guests.

Rhiwbina Hairdressing Team

Jess

Designer Stylist Jess joined the Michelle Marshall Team in 2016. Since then, Jess has received the best in-house training to enable her to qualify as a stylist in 2017, and then work her way up to Senior Stylist in 2019 and she has now been promoted to Designer.  

A super talented hairdresser, Jess has built quite a reputation for that low-key lived-in hair that is so popular on Instagram. Balayage, Foilyage and the Aussie blonde technique with an on-trend face framer, this is totally her thing and with the addition of her signature LA beach wave.

And top top it all, Jess qualified during lockdown taking a 3-day exam to become a

REDKEN CERTIFIED HAIR COLOURIST (a degree in hair colouring).

There are very few hair colourists who pass this intense examination on all things hair science, product knowledge and application skills. She really is the one to watch and the one to book in for with all your hair colour concerns. Jess will analyse your hair and recommend the correct home care rehab programme, in-salon hair treatments and hair colour / cutting services to get your hair looking and feeling beautiful. 

Jess is also Rhiwbina's resident Great Lengths hair extensions expert.  Great Lengths is a hot fusion pre-bonded method which is very popular.  In addition, Jess has now qualified in Racoon International Luxe Link hair extensions method. Qualification as a Racoonista sees Jess building her skills portfolio to new levels. 

She is building her technical skills still further, focusing on Fabriq keratin treatments. Find out more here.

Congratulations to JESSICA BARTLETT we salute YOU!
