Michelle @ Grapevine Salons

Feb 2026

I started going to Michelle Lee sometime between 2010 and 2011, and kept going to her when I moved to San Antonio in 2012 until moving out of state in 2018. I’ve had Brazilian blowouts from 8+ different stylists in 4 different states, including California (L.A.) and New York (NYC), in the ~16 years that I’ve been getting them, and can honestly say that Michelle is the best. She’s thorough yet fast! I have long hair, and the whole process (clarifying wash, formula application, blow dry, flat iron, rinse, and dry) takes her an hour. She’s one of the only stylists I’ve experienced or seen who use an *actual* chemical fume hood, so there’s...read full review

After years in the Texas heat I finally decided to try a Brazilian blowout. I was referred to Michelle by a friend and it's been a total game changer. I've never been able to let my hair air dry - I have longish wavy and frizzy fine hair. My hair air dries straight and shiny. Not sure why I haven't been doing this longer. Michelle is great. Pays attention to air quality during the treatment and it was super quick. Recommend.

I used to see Michelle pretty regularly a couple of years ago, and then halted my Brazilian blowouts when I got pregnant with my third son. I just returned after a 2 year hiatus, and I absolutely have to brag on her. I normally see her just for the blowouts, and will go the day after getting my hair colored. This time, I got my hair cut and colored the day before, and the place I went to completely butchered my hair. I had super long, thick, tailbone-length hair, and wanted the stylist to cut it to my waist, and add dramatic layers. This stylist "accidentally" cut it to my chest, with a super jagged line, and did three very blunt, uneven layers that looked like stair steps. When I went in for my blowout, I told Michelle what happened and asked if she could squeeze in a trim to correct what had been done with the layers, because obviously, there's nothing I could do about the lost length! She fixed the layers to the best of her ability, and evened out my hair all around. She was incredibly meticulous about what she did, and checked and rechecked to make sure everything was in line. She didn't rush, or try to "squeeze it in" since it was additional work and put us over our time. I was super appreciative of that. I really appreciate that she took her time with both tasks, and didn't dial down the quality to make up for time. She's quick and punctual, but incredibly thorough. She makes sure to do everything with a perfect end result. As far as the blowouts go, my hair is super straight to begin with, I just do it to eliminate any frizz, minimize split ends, and give it a super shine that makes it look amazing even when just air drying. Michelle's blowouts usually last me a minimum of 6 months, usually longer in the fall and winter. She pays massive attention to air quality, and I've NEVER seen anyone else, let alone fully equipped salons take as many precautions as her. She's usually booked from sun-up to sun-down, but will absolutely work with you to get you in.
