Michael at Mode is simply exceptional, and I mean that for the whole family.
I’ve been coming to Michael for my cuts and color, and I can honestly say I’ve never felt more understood by a stylist. As someone with curly hair, that’s not a small thing. He knows exactly how to work with my texture, and more importantly, he knows which colors will actually complement my skin tone, not just what looks good on a color chart.
What sets Michael apart is his integrity. He listens, truly listens, and never goes rogue. If the look you’re envisioning isn’t going to work the way you expect, he’ll tell you honestly and explain why, which I respect enormously. I trust him so completely that I often just let him do what he thinks is best, and I am always happy with the results. Every single time.
He also cuts my kids’ hair, and to me it’s worth it, because he’s not just doing standard kid cuts. He’s actually solving problems. My son has thick hair with a tricky crown growth pattern that makes it want to stick out, and Michael knows exactly how to cut it so it lays right and looks great. That’s real skill.
Beyond his talent and expertise, Michael is genuinely one of the kindest people you’ll meet. Calm, warm, funny, and truly good-hearted. My kids adore him, and so do I.
And then there’s Mode itself, which Michael co-founded, and it is absolutely a reflection of him! It feels like a boutique: cozy, elegant, fun, and just a really lovely atmosphere to spend time in. It’s the kind of place that makes you look forward to your appointment. Truly, it’s very Michael.
If you’re looking for a stylist who treats your hair, and you (!), with real care and expertise, look no further. You found him!
