  Review:

  My wife and I have been going to Michelle for 8 years now (my wife has actually been with her longer - 10 years). Michelle was first with Elias, then moved to the Mermaid. Now she has opened her own little salon (Hair by Michelle) in Rancho Penasquitos (Carmel Mountain Rd. off of the 15 freeway). Her new salon is private, cute and comfortable. As you can tell we have been getting our hair cut with Michelle for quite some time now. This truly attests to how great Michelle is. She is professional, but also fun and easy going. We have a blast every time we see her, but importantly we also get great hair cuts/treatments. More about the hair: My hair is fairly straight and short, while my wife's hair is long and extremely curly. Michelle gives me a "hip" haircut with a bit of texture. People often confuse me with Brad Pitt after I get my haircut. My wife gets a bit more done with her hair. She used to get really cute highlights that were the perfect balance of color (not too overwhelming like you see with some girls). From what I hear Michelle is an expert with coloring (and with extensions too). My wife doesn't get highlights anymore, but she now gets her hair chemically straightened. She absolutely loves this treatment. She goes once every few months, and her hair looks amazing. It looks natural and healthy - and extremely straight. Michelle also did her hair for our wedding, and it looked absolutely beautiful. When it comes down to it you couldn't ask for anything better. She has a cute little salon, she is a fantastic hair stylist, and she is a great person. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

  Review:

  Michelle Sullivan, formerly of the Mermaid Salon, has swum out on her own. Michelle is a curly girl herself, who knows how to bring out the best in your curls. She did a great job there, but her new location in the Rancho Peñasquitos community of San Diego is even better. She will also travel to you. Your hair gets pampered, and there’s no sensory overload from competing dyes, bleaches, or shampoos from lots of clients in one big room. Michelle has been cutting my hair for more than three years. It was always a mousy brown which needed some highlights and a richer background. Now it’s got more gray, and she does a great job of covering that too! She cuts my hair dry, which is recommended by the top curl stylists, but hard to find. She has training from DevaCurl, and others-- Toni & Guy (TiGi), Aveda, and Vidal Sassoon. She is well-trained in products too, and has taught me what works with my fine hair, which can get weighted down with the wrong stuff. Call for an appointment at 619-726-2463 or get more info at hairbymichelle.com. She does special events, and doesn’t limit her practice to curls. Straight hair, extensions, theatrical, or special events like weddings—Michelle listens and gets it right.
