Michael Rafuse - Master Hairstylist

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.

I love getting my haircut at Mode. I used to be a guy who just wanted to get in and out as fast as possible and saw whomever was available at Supercuts. But then I started caring more about how my hair looked and wanted to see what else could be done. I like going to Mode, to get there a bit early, have a cup of coffee and have a professional that knows me take care of my hair. My hair always comes out perfectly. Michael is incredibly consistent and perfectionist in best possible way. If you haven’t upgraded to getting your hair styled by a real professional, treat yourself to this.

Michael has been cutting my hair for years; I wait to come back from California to get my hair cut by him. He knows exactly how to cut my hair so that it air dries without looking stringy. He gets the style right by having some shape, but not overly layered and one of the few hairdressers where both my mom and I like his style.
