MEET MICHELLE

@haircolorbymj

Michelle is truly a jack of all trades, with the kind of easygoing presence that makes clients feel comfortable from the moment they sit in her chair. Her goal is always to create hair that feels personal, wearable, and aligned with each client’s style.

Outside the salon, Michelle is a lifelong artist who loves drawing and painting, which shows up in her eye for color and detail. She is also usually surrounded by music and her crew of six pets, including five reptiles and one cat. And she designs her own jewelry which is featured in our salon retail section.

If you’re looking for a stylist who can handle everything from lived-in color to vivid creative work, Michelle is a perfect fit

Michelle is a calm, creative, and highly versatile stylist with over 5 years behind the chair. Originally from the Bay Area, she trained at The Salon Professional Academy in San Jose before moving to Texas in 2022 and bringing her artistry to Myrna Rose.

As our first resident stylist, Michelle helped set the tone for the kind of space we wanted to create: welcoming, grounded, creative, and full of personality.

Her work ranges from creative vivids and alternative hair to soft natural balayage, dimensional color, highlights, root touch-ups, and everyday color maintenance. She loves services that let her blend technical skill with artistic expression, whether that means a bold transformation or a subtle refresh that grows out beautifully.

Specialties

Back view of a woman with long, wavy hair dyed in a copper and honey blonde ombré style.

  • For bold, creative color work including vivids, alternative color, color blocking, fantasy tones, and custom inspiration-based looks. This service is best for clients wanting a more artistic transformation and may require lightening, multiple formulas, and a detailed color plan.

  • For soft, dimensional color with a more natural, lived-in grow-out. Balayage is ideal for clients wanting brightness, movement, and depth without the upkeep of traditional all-over blonding. Michelle customizes placement and tone to fit your natural color, maintenance goals, and personal style.

  • Customized cuts designed around your hair texture, density, lifestyle, and how you actually wear your hair day to day. Michelle especially loves shags, layered cuts, face-framing pieces, and shapes with movement and personality. Perfect for clients wanting a fresh shape, more texture, or a cut that feels effortless but also personal.

Work With Michelle

“Michelle did an excellent job cutting my hair. I asked her to do an undercut but only in the back. Her line is perfectly straight and shaved to a 0, exactly what I wanted. And, I don't have any irritation like I get from other salons. Michelle keeps her tools and her work area clean and is very professional.

The place is an old house that the owner fixed up on the inside to make it into a salon which is seriously cool. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Excellent work.”

What People Are Saying

A woman with dark makeup, black lipstick, and dramatic eye makeup decorated with red and black rhinestones, wearing black lace clothing, and tattoos on her arm, set against a dark background.

“Been seeing Michelle for a while and she is someone who I will continue to see. She always does a killer job when it comes to vivids and even when it comes to natural colors. My hair has been falling out and thinning for years, and she has always ensured my hair is kept healthy even while she’s trying to lighten me to platinum.

Recently have been also enjoying a shag and she kills it every time. I also enjoy the space. To me it’s very homey but with class.”

— Taylor

Michelle Flores has been my hairdresser for years …. so of course, I had to follow her here and I’m so glad I did! It’s so peaceful and cute!


Michelle is a hair magician! She’s the only person who understands how to cut my bangs (I’m very picky). She always listens to what I want and always has great ideas/alternatives to my ideas. I’ve literally been every color of the rainbow with her and can’t wait to see what else she does with my hair in the future.


Come visit Michelle for all your hair needs, you won’t be disappointed!”
