Hair Designs By Michele

After a few mishaps with my current hair stylists, I decided it was time to look somewhere else. Michele is close to my home and she has awesome reviews so I tried her out this past weekend. Not only is she friendly, but my cut and color is awesome! Not to mention the cost was resonable! I have found a new stylist!! I would recommend her to any of my friends.

Pros: Expierenced and Friendly

I read michele's reviews and decided to give her a try. initially went in to have my hair cut and colored. the results were so wonderful, that i decided to have extensions put in as well. received many compliments on how great my hair looks and how natural looking my extensions are. my friends couldn't even tell that it wasn't my real hair! love love my hair color and extensions.

Pros: Great at everything!

michele has done color correction for me. She is magnificent. She has great suggestions for style and color. I am so pleased with the job Michele does. She has allot of experience in this profession, and it shows! And her prices are reasonable for the great job she does. You will NOT be disappointed!!!!!! I really won't go anywhere else...No kidding!

Pros: flexible hours, free parking in back

Cons: NONE

I was very happy with the haircut I got from Michele, my husband loved it as well!!! I asked for a certain cut and Michele delivered it. I also got highlights and lowlights and they came out beautifully. Michele is Tarzana's best kept secret when it comes to great haircut and color!!

Pros: Fast, nice haircut, amazing color

Posted 10/28/09

I was desperate for a new hairdresser and my daughter suggested I look on citysearch. I saw all these great reviews for Michelle and was skeptical, thinking her friends might have written them, but she had almost 50 reviews! That's a lot of friends. So, I decided to give it a shot. Michelle is a sweetheart and spent time finding out exactly what I want to do with my hair, what worked and what didn't work. When she was done, my hair looked great! I had her do the color, as well, and that came out beautifully. I waited until I had 3 haircuts before I wrote a review and now I can safely say that Michelle is terrific. I haven't been this happy with my hair in years. She is a wonderful person and really talented. I couldn't recommend her more.

Pros: great sylist. She listens!!

Cons: none

Posted 10/27/09

AND BELIEVE ME AS A FLIGHT ATTENDANT I HAD HAIRCUTS PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE BUT NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE ONE MICHELE GAVE ME. THE HAIRCUT SHE GAVE ME COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN PRICED AT $70 OR MORE!
SHE WAS A VERY GOOD LISTENER AND WAS VERY ATTENTIVE TO MY CONCERNS.
I AM VERY DIFFICULT AND DIFFICULT TO PLEASE BUT MICHELE GOT IT RIGHT. MY HAIR LOOKS SO MUCH HEALTHIER AND I HAD SO MANY COMPLIMENTS!
SHE IS A PERFECTIONIST AND SHE GAVE ME THE PERFECT HAIRCUT FOR AN UNBELIEVABLE PRICE. THE FIRST TIME YOU GO SEE HER SHE WILL GIVE YOU A SPECIAL DEAL. NOT ONLY AM I SENDING MY BOYFRIEND THERE I AM ALSO SENDING MY GIRLFRIENDS. FREE PARKING IN THE BACK.
I KNOW YOU WILL BE HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND THE RIGHT HAIRDRESSER

Pros: One of The Best Cuts I've Ever Had

Cons: None

Posted 10/13/09

When I went to see Michele I was looking for both a new
Stylist and a new look. Michele recomended a color that
I have never thought it would work for me but she insisted
so we went for it. The cut was absolute perfection and
precision, then the styling was the icing on the cake! when
she was done, the color was rejuvenating and becoming, the styling so modern and again perfect so my overall
experience was simply wonderful. I recomend Michele
highly and I certainly found what I was looking for. I will add that some of the Stylist I had were excellent both in the
West area New York and Overseas, and Michele is down
right one of the best.

Posted 10/09/09

I found Michele on Citysearch and she got me in right away. I showed up with damaged frizzy hair and a bad self-done dye job. I've never had a hair stylist spend so much time consulting with me, she's interested in what YOU want, not what she wants you to have. She did absolutely beautiful work, but I quicly realized the color I'd asked her to do was a mistake. She had me back to adjust it (with no attitude) the next day. She worked with me until I left with EXACTLY what I wanted, great cut, amazing color, and healthy shiny hair. Her gorgeous blow dry lasted me three days. Try Michele, she's a rare find, and she gave me an awesome first time discount!

Pros: Consultation, great attitude, first time discount!

Cons: None

Posted 10/04/09

After my original hairdresser left town I had a terrible experience with the new one I tried, it left me soooo horrified I didn't go back to anyone for over a year.... Then I found Michele here on City Search, read her outstanding reviews and decided to give her a try. BEST decision ever!!! She is overflowing with kindness, personality and absolute skill. I have found my new hairdresser... She has a client for life here! So, I highly recommend her to everyone and anyone who wants the best!

Pros: Everything! Exceptionally skilled, friendly and versatile

Cons: Can't think of ANY!!!

Posted 08/12/09

Well I'm a teenager which means I like to change my hair style every so often, and Michele is always their to help me make it even more fabulous than before. She really knows how to make the perfect layered/choppy hairstyle. Plus she always listens to what YOU want, she doesnt just do what she thinks would look good like most other stylists. She has great tips on different ways to style your hair after your haircut is through. She is just wonderful all around!

Pros: Great hairstyles, I get exactly what I ask for

Cons: nothing!

Posted 08/09/09

After my last stylist skipped town, I was on an almost hopeless search for a new one. I nervously looked through the Internet and found Michele through Citysearch. The reviews convinced me and I'm glad to say she's officially my new hair stylist.

People, strangers, see my haircut and ask me who did my hair. As a dancer, I like to keep my style fun and new, sometimes funky, and michele's been able to accomodate every style I bring to her. She's been amazing and I recommend her with no reservations.

Pros: friendly, accomodating, can do the latest cuts

Cons: there's only one of her!

Posted 08/08/09

Great energy! She knows what will work on you and what won't. I definitely recommend her for a hair stylist who knows how to give the best bobs ever! Bring a picture and expect it to look identical! Amazing!

Posted 08/03/09

She is a very bubbly and friendly hairstylist! I've been going to her for 10 years now and she always ceases to amaze me. I've never had a bad hair cut or color. Every time I go in I tell her to do whatever and I am ALWAYS pleased with the results. Thank you Michele!

Pros: Best Haircut and Color I ever had.

Cons: None

Posted 07/30/09

I just got my haircut from Michele today and I LOVE IT~! I showed her a picture of how I wanted it and she made it look even better. She's wonderful~!!

Pros: She's perfect

Posted 07/24/09

I just met Michele at a sushi bar and found she does hair. Now this may sound strange but it's not about hair. You can judge a person by there personality and this girl has tons - friendly - kind - smart. and very cute.I know for sure,without a doubt you would enjoy her company. So give her a chance next time you need a hair dresser.

Pros: Great Person

Cons: None

Posted 07/24/09

I called for an appointment and she was super fast in scheduling. Nice professional skills, good hair style and she gave a lot of advice.
The price is more than reasonable and she's very pleasant to talk with.

Pros: patient, professional, nice professional and social skills

Cons: none

Posted 07/21/09

I have been to Michele for highlights and haircut several times and have always been really happy with the results. I get lots of compliments on the cut/color and she always give me a no-fuss hairstyle that looks great!

Pros: great cut/color at a great price

Posted 07/20/09

I have to be in LA for a sickness in my family. I have been here over 4 months so you can imagine the 'grow out'. I am from Montana and have been going to the same stylist for over 17 years and we have perfected a 'secret color formula'. I called a couple of other stylists and wasn't comfortable after talking to them. I called Michele and instantly there was a connection! At Last, someone I could trust with my hair!! (or my stylist's hair!!) She was kind enough to speak to my stylist and get the formula, (who would care enough to do that?) She got my product and did an incredible job. The color was perfect as was her styling! She also makes the most stunning jewelry! I bought one of her custom, made while you process, rings. Made of crystals and very reasonably priced! She even reminded me of the web site discount when we were all finished. Go see Michele, you will be amazed!!!

Pros: Left feeling as though I have known her forever

Cons: that I am only visiting

Posted 07/15/09

I've been to all the Beverly Hills high end Salons and Michele is as good as if not better than those pricey salons. She's a stylist with great taste and talent. I get constant compliment on my color and highlights and her cuts are good to. Can't go wrong with Michele she's well worth it!

Pros: flexible hours, perfectionist

Cons: none

Posted 07/08/09

I met Michele 2 years ago when I moved into a house on her street. I first let her do my hair because it was convenient... I continue to go to her and NO ONE ELSE because every time she does my hair, I like it more than the time before. She will listen to your every exact detail, she never does something just because 'she' thinks it will look good, (don't you hate when hair dressers ignore you and do what they want??)and she will always patiently keep tweaking every little hair until it is EXACTLY what you envisioned. As long as Michele is around, I will never go to anyone else!! : )

Pros: EVERYTHING!

Cons: that I can't get my hair done everyday!!

Posted 07/07/09

After going to the same expensive place and getting the same crappy cut I finally decided to give Michele a try. She did a wonderful job. I am definitely going back!

Pros: Easy to book an appointment, Affordable!

Posted 06/07/09

I recently moved to los angeles and found michele through citysearch. She had great reviews and I decided to try her out. She did an absolutely amazing job on my hair and I love it! She took her time making sure my hair was perfect. She is friendly, talented, and affordable. I will definitely be going back to her. Thanks Michele!

Posted 06/03/09

I'm probably the typical female.... I have my own personal n' favorite massage therapist, manicurist, hair stylist and anything else that provides beautification. When my hair stylist of 13 years decided to move out of the country I began to freak out. He was accustomed to my hair, taste and style. So I decided to try this site and take a HUGE chance. I read all the reviews and they were all oustanding. My coworker told me to be weary because there wasn't one bad comment. Now to me that was a good thing but to many they would think, oh maybe they're fake comments left by her friends. In any case, I called Michele, scheduled an appt. and met with her. She was prompt, accomodating and very kind. She took one look at the picture I brought with me and in less than an hour I was sitting in front of the mirror ecstatic! My hair looked beautiful, full and absolutely amazing. I couldn't wait to go show all of my friends, 4 of which are going to call her to schedule an appt- her reviews don't do Michele justice. I will not go elsewhere and neither should you.

Posted 02/24/09

Thank You, Thank you, Thank you!! Citysearch came through for me again!! Michele is Fantastic at what she does. I found her here on Citysearch because I just recently moved to the Valley, and was in desperate need to find a hairdresser. After reading all the great reviews, I decided to make an appointment with her. She was very personable & nice, and her work as a hairstylist is A++!! My hair went from looking about a 2, (on a scale of 1-10) too a 10 !! No kidding! She put these beautiful highlights in my hair & a new haircut, that just gave me SOOO much more style. I really couldn't be happier. And her First Time Client Discount offer of 35% OFF was just a really cool added BONUS!! Thanx Michele, and I will definitely be seeing you soon.

Pros: Professional, nice atmosphere, 35% Off first visit

Cons: NONE

Posted 02/04/09

Michele was great! I had been going to the same hairstylist for 15 years but she moved away and I was so scared to go to someone new. After seeing all of the wonderful reviews on citysearch, I decided to call Michele and make an appointment. She was able to schedule me for the next afternoon and was very friendly, understanding and helpful. My hair had always been long and I needed a change.......Michele cut my hair the shortest it had ever been and instead of it freaking me out, I immediately felt a huge relief! My haircolor and highlights are beautiful and my hair is shiny and healthy! Also, the haircut is very easy to style myself. Michele is a true professional and I will definitely be going back to her. She even reminded me of the 35% discount I was getting for being a first time customer.

Pros: very friendly and accomodating

Cons: nothing.....there is even parking in back!

Posted 01/09/09

Michele did an absolutely fabulous job on my Highlights/Color. It was the first time I went to her, so I was allitle nervous. But because she came so highly recommended by my best girlfriend (who has been going to michelle for quite a while & her hair always looks A+).... It calmed my nerves right down!! I just knew I would be in good hands, and I was! My hair color never looked so bright, beautiful, and shinny. Michele uses this terrific haircolor that really left my hair feeling noticably better, and more conditioned. On top of that she used this great shampoo and conditioner, and that made a difference as well. She seems to use only high quality products, from start to finish. And that combined with her very obvious skill and talent really makes her a true professional. You can really tell that she takes pride in what she does, and that's really refreshing!!!

Pros: Nice un-pretentious down to earth atmosphere/ Good parking in back of salon

Cons: none apply

Posted 01/07/09

Michelle was so friendly and nice. My hair turned out exactly what i wanted. I have a hard time explaining what i want and she totally got it. She is so sweet and talkative she makes you feel like your a friend and not just some customer. I would highly recommend her. I know i will deffinatley will be going back. Thanks Michelle!

I went out on a limb by trusting the reviews here on city search for my hair! I usually go to a salon recommended by a friend but I've been successful with other treatments I've found here so I figured I'd try it. The salon itself is small and cozy! Don't expect a spacious 'cold' atmosphere, this place is definitely neighborhood friendly with a few patrons bringing their kids. At first I was nervous since I've never trusted my hair, especially a color treatment, with someone I've never had a personal reference! But I was so happy with the color and cut... I truly couldn't believe that she was able to give me EXACTLY what I described! She even fixed some of the mistakes the previous hair person I used did in terms of the cut correlating properly with the frame of my face. The price was something that could not be beat either! I would definitely recommend Michele for ladies that are tired of paying for a hair session that they are not fully happy with!! She is personable and has a great positive energy about her that is priceless.

Pros: Homely feel, pleasant atmosphere, great attitude

Cons: I drove by the place 3 or 4 time before I found it!! Keep your eyes peeled.... it's a small salon.

Posted 11/23/08

I'll keep this short and sweet...... She did an awsome color (highlights) and Haircut on me. Probably even better then when I went to this uppity salon in Beverly Hills and paid 'way too much'!! Ouch. Her work was just as good and MUCH more reasonably priced. She took her time with me, gave me some useful styling tips, and as if that wasn't good enough, saved me some money too!! I getta say, she offers a very generous 35% OFF (and that's for the whole hair job) So it ended up saving me a considerable amount. I was really impressed, well with the economy the way it is right now and everything. Every bit sure helps! Thanks Michele. For making me look beautiful. I'll be seeing ya soon

Posted 11/11/08

Just recently went to Michele because of all the very positive testimonials here on Citysearch, and I can honestly say that she delivers everything that everyone on here has said about her. She is a true professional in every sense of the word. Experienced, very knowledgeable, and friendly. She took my hair from plain & boring, to Glamorous & SOOO complimentalry to my face shape! I really never had a stylist consult with me so thoroughly, and brought to my attention the importance of a hair style that fits my shape face. And did an absolutely fantastic job on my hair color as well...which was also in need of an overhaul. She pointed out that the hair color I was wearing clashed with the natural pigment of my skin tone, and suggested going with a more chesnut, warm color. What a DIFFERENCE that made!! She was completely Right. On top of her obvious knowledge of hair, she is a really nice/friendly person and just fun to pass the time with too!! Thanks Michele - I'll be seeing you soon :)

Pros: generous 35% discount for the first visit - Clean Environment

Cons: NONE

Posted 10/28/08

My hairdresser that I had been going to for years just recently moved out of the area, so I was in dire need to find a new stylist. My friend referred me to Michele, and she did a fabulous job on my hair. I gave her kind of a tall order... I wanted to change my color completely from dark brown to a light golden brown with honey highlights. It was corrective color, and not an easy job. But Michele took her time with me and really did it perfect!! I am so happy with my new color, and she gave me a wonderful haircut and style as well. She takes her time and really cares about the work she does, and it shows. She's my new stylist,!!

Pros: very experienced

Cons: N/A

Posted 10/08/08

Michelle is just fantastic. She understood exactly what I wanted (which is great coz even I wasn't sure about what I wanted), and gave me a gorgeous haircut that I love. Best of all, she wasn't in a hurry at all, took her time, gave me tips, made me feel comfortable. I am never going anywhere else again.

I went to her solely on the basis of the reviews here on Citysearch and it was worth it. She is simply amazing. And inexpensive too. Its worth every penny. I'm going back next week to get highlights. Thank you Michelle. You've just won a customer for life and I will recommend you to everyone I know.

Pros: 1st time customer discount, fun ambience, free parking in rear

Cons: None

Posted 10/08/08

In these hard economic times, what a delight it is to find a hairdresser that can meet both of these requirements! I can truly say that 'Citysearch' came through for me again...Thank you Citysearch!
Michele did an FANTASTIC job on my haircolor (highlights), and haircut & style. I came to her with hair that was all messed up from an awful job that this other salon did on my hair. And Michele completely FIXED it!!
She is Very good at what she does, and my hair never looked better, and is in much better condition as well. She offers a very generous 35% OFF for the first time client, so that really helps allot !! And her regular prices are very reasonable to begin with for the qualitly job she does, and the quality products she uses. I am very happy.... And want everybody else to know what a great find she is. If your reading this, consider yourself LUCKY to have found her !! I know I am!!

Pros: A++ Stylist at affordable prices.

Cons: NONE

Posted 08/26/08

Needed to find a fabulous hairdresser that could not only do great color, but also Extensions as well. So I did some research, and found Michele here on Citysearch. And I was extremely pleased that all the terrific reviews I had read about her were ALL TRUE !! She really is experienced at what she does, and it shows. She's professional, knowledgeable, and friendly & sweet to boot !! My Extensions are Beautiful, and they blend in with the Highlights SO Perfect that you really can't tell that it's not all my own hair. The hair she uses for the Extensions are of a very High Quality, so the feel of them, and the look are A+++.

Pros: down-to-earth atmosphere, Free parking in the rear of the shop

Cons: NONE

Posted 08/04/08

Taking a leap of faith on the reviews I had read about Michele, I thought I'd start out with a hair cut. I was so thrilled with the results I came back a week later for her to do her "magic" again on my hair color. First of all, she is amazing with all the technical aspects of hair. She expertly put in each foil super close against my scalp (like no one has ever managed to do before) and meticulously put cotton in between each one so they wouldn't leak out. She spent a lot of time on me and it shows... never have I had such a flawless weave! But more importantly, she is like Michelangelo, a true artist - she knew just what to do to bring out the inner "vixen" in me, my hair cut and color are so stylish, so flirty. Last, but not least, she is funny and sweet and she lets you watch movies on her iPhone! Thanks Michele, I'll be seeing you...soon!

Posted 07/29/08

I googled color correction stylists in the Valley and was pleased to find Michele for my results via the web. We live in Northern California and my blond hair was turning an orange color like my cats! After turning to a color correction specialist where I live, my hair was once again ruined. I called Michele on a Sunday morning in desperation to see if she could squeeze me in on Tuesday since I was only going to be in L.A. for the afternoon. I couldn't believe she actually picked up the phone and we discussed my problem hair. Michele was incredibly patient, listened to my previous disaster stories and was up for the challenge of color correcting my hair. Now my problem is how I am going to fly down to L.A. everytime I need a highlight! Michele, thank you so much for correcting my color. My husband absolutely loved the cut and the color!! Maui was amazing and my mom will be going to you when she needs a color and cut as well. Thanks for making her a believer as well.
With my deepest thanks

Pros: flexible, cost effective, patient, caring

Cons: n/a

Posted 07/19/08

I drive from the city (Santa Monica) to get my hair done by Michele. Might sound crazy with the gas prices and all. But she is SO worth it! Let's face it girls, when you find someone who does your hair fabulous... You stick with them!! She listens to exactly what you're looking for, and then has the experience to deliver!!
She is very reasonably priced, because let me tell you, I have gone to other salons who did 1/2 as good a job and charged me double the price... ouch!! Thank you Michele, I tell all my friends & family about you ;)

Pros: Nice friendly comfortable environment

Posted 07/06/08

For years I found myself adrift in a sea of lousy haircuts and even worse professionalism. OK, I was living with my hair stylist at the time, but then I met Michele. Suddenly I was getting GREAT haircuts whenever I wanted! I'm not sure what it was that was making me settle all those years -- hair and otherwise -- but to my great relief and even greater satisfaction, Michele's really turned by world around. She's always reachable, flexible and fun to be with. If you're looking for someone to attend to all your hair needs, I could NOT recommend Michele more highly!

Posted 07/06/08

I just recently moved to the Los Angeles area from Manhattan, NY and I can tell you that Michele is just as good as the hairdressers that I went too in the city (NYC). I am a pretty discriminating client to have, as I have gone to some of the best stylists and salons the city has to offer. When I moved to Los Angeles, I desperately needed to find a GOOD stylist, so my friend who has been going to Michele for some time now, highly recommended me to go to her. I did, and I was extremely happy with what she did! She colored, highlighted, and cut/styled my hair just like my favorite stylist in Manhattan! I was so thrilled that I found her, because I was pretty sceptical that I might have a hard time finding the right person to make me happy since I am allitle particular in the hair department. P.S. Michele's prices are very reasonable for the knowledge & experience she has....Just an added ++++

Pros: very experienced, 1st time client discount offer

Posted 06/10/08

Michele you are amazing honestly I love my makeover and so does everyone else I always get compliments on my hair and it really has changed my life around. I'm really happy that I found you (after 6 years of searching from salon to salon).

p.s. so so sorry about the late review :)

Pros: Not pushy at all very nice and professional and amazing work

Cons: not a thing

Posted 05/28/08

I travel from Hollywood to Tarzana to get my haircut by Michelle...far distance? Not if you want the best haircut possible!! When I moved to LA from NYC, I found Michelle and have not thought twice about going to someone else! I always have fun when i get my hair done by Michelle, I simply relax and let her do her thing, and I'm always satisfied in the end. I believe that finding the right person to cut your hair always relieves stress...Michelle is extremely personable, likeable, and most of all she is the best at what she does!

Pros: Always parking, Good availability, Reasonable Prices

Posted 05/21/08

My friend just recently referred me to Michele to get my hair done (because I have been SO unhappy w/my current hairstylist), and let me tell you, she did an awsome job on my hair!! Not only did she change the color of my hair to a much softer, more complementary tone on my skin... She put extensions in my hair that literally make me look and feel so much younger!! I can't believe how 'natural' they look and feel. My husband wants to marry me all over again! Thanks Michele

Pros: very experienced, friendly

Posted 05/21/08

Michele has been cutting my hair for about 5 years and I know I can "trust my head" to her. Before I started coming to Michele I had my hair done at salons all over Los Angeles -- some of them exorbitantly priced. Michele uses premium products and gives excellent service at a very reasonable price. Not only does she listen to me and give me the haircut I ask for, she has helped me find a low-maintenance cut and color that works for my busy lifestryle. Thanks, Michele!

Posted 05/17/08

I have been searching & searching to find a stylist that can do my hair, and do it 'WELL'. Believe me, I've tried so many hairdressers and they just fall to waistside in comparison to Michele. I found her here on citysearch amongst the vast selection of hair salons. And I liked her listing and read all her wonderful reviews, so I decided to give her a shot. And I was so happy I did. She listened to exactly what I wanted to do with my hair and also gave me some great advice as to new and freash ideas on how to style my hair, and some fantastic products to use in my hair. It never looked so good, the color is extremely shiny, and the cut A+++. She even did some extensions that I absolutely LOVE because my hair is pretty thin, and now it's thick and much fuller! And the best part is that you can't tell AT ALL that it's not my own hair. The hair she uses is really terrific quality, I just love it.... love her... and will definitely be a loyal cusomer. Thanks Michele

Pros: down to earth environment, lots of free parking in the rear of the salon

Cons: Not a one

Posted 05/11/08

I needed to find a good hairdresser, being that my previous stylist left the state recently. So I reached the internet, and found Michele. She acted very professional with excellent people skills and was very enthusiastic about her work. I was very happy and pleased with the results. I will become a permenant customer and highly recommend Michele as a Hairdresser.

Pros: great warm environment, friendly and skilled

Cons: NONE

Posted 05/04/08

Just got the new doo. A friend highly recommended Michele to me. Her raves were so high I was skeptical. Finally I went, and I have to admit, it was every bit as good as my friends raves. Michele is sweet and highly professional. My hair (the cut and the color) are recieving raves as high as the ones my friend was giving Michele. Now I find myself sounding overly enthusiastic about Michele. You'll just have to find out for yourself

Posted 05/03/08

I've been going to Michelle for the last 5yrs & have always gotten a great haircut.
She makes you feel like you're special & really listens!
