"I'm Michelle

[me/her]

Artist & Entrepreneur

an alarmingly independent  neuroqueer nonconforming artist. I'm a licensed NYC Holistic Hair Stylist, Beauty and Life Coach. I specialize in "hard" hair & personalities. Period. Give me your unruly, thick, impossible hair. Give me your thin, stringy, slow-growing hair. Give me all of your frizz. Come at me with your "hard" personality and your shyness. Give me a year to teach you holistic ways to sustain and nourish your hair and life... your beauty."

David Allen Hammel, the cat

She’s got futurist bones and an autistic nature. She practices humaning with the utmost respect for her self and others. Identifying as an indie artist first and foremost, she's a creator inspired by love, rainbows & justice. Auspicious and audacious, this experiencer is a lover with a green thumb and her hobbies tend to serve her communities. Her usual refusal to identify is due to her ability to evolve in and out of identities like a kaleidoscope. Michelle is a nomadic New York Stater currently holding residency in Brooklyn curating vibes, serving justice, healing souls, creating beauty & staying uniquely who tf she is while sharing her bright light with any and all who are ready.
