Hair and make-up is my passion in life…I love what I do everyday! I am a graduate from Paul Mitchell the School East Bay. I absolutely love education and take classes whenever I get the opportunity to.
I believe the best hair experience begins with communication! After a thorough consultation of your hair dreams and needs I will create a customized cut, color and style to personalize who you are, fit your life style and also make you look and feel your absolute best!
I love to share my knowledge with others. So often times you will see an Associate by my side to help give you that movie star treatment.
To me there is nothing more rewarding than helping someone find that special “look” they are trying to achieve. Lets create your dream hair.

Hi, I’m Michelle. I used to dread getting my hair cut because I was never satisfied with the results. At 14, I discovered my passion for hair when a family friend taught me some basic hair cutting techniques. I then practiced on any willing family and friends. After high school, I enrolled at Hayward Beauty School.
With over 25 years of experience working in various salons, I've continually expanded my skills and techniques. I've attended in person, hands on classes at Redkin and Tony & Guy. Recently, I haven taken online classes to further my education and skills. I love getting to know my clients and helping them look and feel their best. Ensuring everyone can style their hair confidently is my top priority. I'm always happy to offer styling tips and answer any hair questions you may have. I'm excited to be part of Bellizza Crysalli’s salon, where the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I look forward to meeting you all soon!
