We’re not just a salon,
we’re a team of beauty experts.

With a strong penchant for fashion and style, Michelle's desire to become a colorist began at a very young age. She began her career and her talents were quickly picked up by L'Oreal working on platform and teaching as an educator. With 20 years of experience in the salon industry, she has become one of the most sought after colorists in NYC. Before opening Brush and The Team, Michelle worked at Frederic Fekkai's flagship salon on Fifth Ave NY as one of the top colorists specializing in balayage and corrective color. Michelle was one of the educators for Fekkai’s training program, traveling nationally to educate new recruits as well as giving seminars on newest color techniques and trends. She has built a strong network of loyal elite clients and has worked on celebrity clients including Sigourney Weaver, Kelly Rowland, Bon Jovi, Daniel Boulud, Princess of Rome Georgina Chapman, Amy Schumer, Patricia Heaton, Kelly O’Reilly, and Linda Fiorentino. She also works closely with renowned model agencies and major social, fashion and beauty influencers.
