  • I got the absolute best cut and color I've ever had from Michelle! I had nearly waist-length hair that I was ready to chop off into a lob and color that I wanted to refresh. I absolutely adore my haircut, and if you're looking to color your hair a shade of red, I can't recommend Michelle enough! She was a great listener, and also had great suggestions for the cut and color that would best fit my face shape and skin tone. I'm so glad I found such a great salon in the neighborhood!

  • Michelle is the very best hairstylist I’ve ever known. She cuts and styles my fine, thin hair to make it look like I have much more hair than I do. She’s funny and easy going.

  • As a male with long hair I was not sure how to approach our session but Michelle was an excellent provider of information and very helpful in helping me clarify how to achieve the look I wanted for my wedding day and give me the tips and tools to care for my hair long term. I was very happy with the results and highly recommend her and GL or any guy who’s unsure what to do about their long hair to keep it looking good with minimal maintenance.
