Michele International represents the heart of neighborhood hair care — a family-owned salon where skilled stylists create beautiful results while building lasting relationships with their clients.
Expert Stylists Who Listen
The talented team at Michele International includes standout stylists like Anne, Karen, Marice, and Tara, each bringing years of experience and comprehensive skills across all aspects of hair care. These accomplished professionals pride themselves on their versatility, seamlessly handling everything from precision cuts and vibrant color work to corrective services and special occasion styling. Whether a client needs a complete transformation, regular maintenance, or emergency hair repair, the team approaches each appointment with the expertise and creativity to deliver exceptional results across the full spectrum of hair services.
A Welcoming, Professional Environment
What sets Michele International apart is the genuine warmth and personal attention each client receives. The staff takes time to understand individual needs, remembers clients by name, and creates a comfortable atmosphere that keeps people coming back for years. Many clients describe the salon as having a “great overall vibe” where friendly conversation flows naturally among stylists and patrons.
Resilience Through Challenges
After their original Pacific Palisades location was lost in the fire, Michele International relocated to Montana Avenue in Santa Monica. This move allowed the beloved salon to continue serving their loyal clientele, many of whom have been coming for decades. The transition underscores the strong bonds between the salon and its community of clients.
Comprehensive Hair Services
Michele International offers a full range of services including cuts, color, highlights, blowouts, and specialized treatments like Brazilian blowouts. The salon maintains a wide selection of professional hair products and has built a reputation for excellence — and accommodating walk-in appointments while maintaining quality service.
At Michele International, hair care becomes more than just a routine appointment — it’s a genuinely enjoyable experience that clients have come to consider an essential part of their personal care regimen.
