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.
