Hi, I’m Michaela—a beauty-obsessed, lover of all things glam, based in Syracuse, New York.

Painting hair is one of my favorite creative outlets, but my passion doesn’t stop there. I have a deep love for collecting beautiful things, sampling wine in new cities, and being with the people who make my heart feel full.

My mission every single day is to help my guests feel their absolute best—inside and out. Whether you're in my chair for a transformation or just a little touch-up, I’m here to hand you the tools, confidence, and care to recreate that magic at home.

In addition to offering in-salon services, I also work on location and pour my heart into helping brides prepare for their big day.

Outside the salon, I wear a few other hats as a wellness-focused entrepreneur. I own Soul Society Juice Bar + Raw Café, where we serve up nutrient-rich juice cleanses and vibrant plant-based food, and The Emerson, a beauty and wellness studio where soulful services meet elevated self-care. Together with our third entity GlamSquadSyr we’ve created a trio of spaces across Central New York dedicated to helping people feel good—from the inside out.

What started with a dream and a few hair color brushes has turned into a mission to uplift others—one glam session, smoothie, or soulful experience at a time.

Can’t wait to meet you and bring your beauty + wellness vision to life!

XO, Michaela
