About Me
BIOGRAPHY
Hey there! I'm Michael, and I'm truly passionate about hair transformations. With 12 years of hands-on experience, I've honed my skills to create beautiful, smooth hairstyles. My journey in the beauty industry has allowed me to perfect both heat-free and heat-styled hair smoothing methods, especially when it comes to creating flawless Dominican Blowouts and luxurious Silk Presses.
What really sets my approach apart is how I combine technical skill with a personal touch. As someone who's been both a salon owner and a beauty educator, I've fine-tuned my techniques to ensure amazing results while keeping your hair's health and integrity at the forefront. Here's a look at the specialized services I offer:
Dominican Blowout - A signature service that achieves remarkable smoothness and body while protecting your natural hair texture
Silk Press - A premium straightening service that leaves your hair with an unmatchable shine and silky-smooth finish
Roller Set - A gentle curl-stretching technique that safely elongates your natural curl pattern without excessive heat
Precision Haircuts - Customized cuts that enhance your style and maintain healthy hair
Deep Treatments - Intensive conditioning treatments that nourish and strengthen your hair
My experience extends beyond the salon chair, including work in fashion shows and beauty education, but my true passion lies in helping clients achieve their dream hair. I believe in taking the time to understand your hair goals and delivering results that not only meet but exceed your expectations.
