Michelle Smith
Senior Stylist
Since first joining Studio Shanthaly in 2010, Michelle has always had a deep passion for the art of hairstyling. After taking a break from the industry, she quickly realized how much she missed the creativity, connection with clients and the beauty world. She was thrilled to return to the Shanthaly family, where she now works part-time while continuing to share her expertise and love for the craft.
With many years of experience behind her, Michelle brings a refined eye and strong technical expertise to every creation. Passionate about blondes, she loves creating luminous, customized and sophisticated colour while respecting the health and integrity of the hair. She also enjoys precision cutting, where her attention to detail and technical skill allow her to create elegant, balanced shapes tailored to each client.
Always passionate about refining her craft, Michelle has invested in extensive advanced education with leading industry experts. Her journey has taken her to California several times, including San Diego and Los Angeles, where she further developed her expertise in blonding, colour and advanced cutting techniques to stay current with today’s trends and techniques.
Michelle brings a calm, experienced and passionate approach to every appointment. For her, hairstyling is the perfect balance of technical expertise, attentive listening and creating a look that makes every client feel beautiful and confident.
Her return to Studio Shanthaly says it all: hairstyling isn’t simply a career for Michelle—it’s a true passion that has always been a part of who she is.
