In 2008, Michelle opened her first salon after nearly walking away from the industry. For years she struggled to find a safe, supportive place to work—often facing bullying and being taken advantage of. When the opportunity came to take over a salon, she knew she wanted to create the kind of space she had always needed: a home for creativity, inclusivity, and self-expression.

Today, they are proud to own and operate four thriving salon locations in Alabama and Georgia. Known for being quirky, alternative, and unapologetically different. Hair-do is a community of stylists who celebrate individuality and believe that hair is a form of empowerment for each person.

“At the heart of everything we do is the belief that no one should ever feel unsafe or unseen. That’s why our doors are open to everyone. I am so thankful to everyone who has supported us throughout all these years and every person who has ever been a part of our team. None of our success would have been possible without this family”
