This review is way past due, Michelle did my daughter's hair for her high school senior graduation pictures a few weeks back. She's very professional, nice & accommodating for scheduling, And did a great job for dealing with someone who's shy And can be undecissive, which my daughter is and Michelle was able to give my daughter the look she wanted and put the biggest smile on her face as you can see in pictures. We would highly recommend her. read more

I had been trying to find a great hair stylist since moving to the area 18 months ago and was having no luck until I found Michelle. Booking and updating my appointment with her was seamless -- my ideal digital scheduling experience given my challenging schedule. When I arrived (on time) I was delighted that I didn't have to wait and was her only customer in the moment. Michelle is focused on hair care, which is what matters most to me so I was thrilled when I stepped out with my hair feeling soft and healthy. She offered great service top to bottom and worked carefully but quickly. Thank you, Michelle! read more

Michelle is awesome! I needed a new stylist that could wash and press my hair and I'm so glad I came across Michelle. She's incredibly professional, always on time and quick with her work. No more sitting in the salon all day! She does a great job and I'm really happy with how my hair turns out every time I leave. It's so silky and soft. Plus her location is great! It's bright and clean. Thank you for everything Michelle! :) - Taylor read more

Hair service washing and flat iron a weave is very good. But because of your behaviour towards me,unkindness, very rude and insulting. could not wait to get the hell out! I will not be returning ... Their is a reason why you are not booked 4-6 weeks out and impossible to get an appt. I have read reviews about her attitude in 2018-2016, well made 2 appts. with her and 12/2023 is the last. She has a very bad temper and its scary! I felt very uncomfortable during my appt. my age is 65 years and not a child. I paid $150.00 for a 2 hour service even though she asked for $95.00 because in all fairness thats the going rate. read more

Hair by Michelle now has a new location in the Willow Pass Suites. There's plenty of private parking a braider on site and other hair stylist to met the supply and demand. This is a one stop spot rather you need natural hair care, braids of all kinds, weaves and much more! The easy online booking option and credit cards are accepted is definitely a plus. See my previous review...I've been a client since 2007. read more

I have to a big thanks to my girl Robyn for the referral and of course to Michelle for the beautiful hair. I had been looking for a new beautician for years and have failed to find one. I am happy that I asked her who did her hair because Michelle has me feeling great, well my hair , well me and my hair.. She was quick, but efficient, affordable and is walking distance from the crib. Needless to say, Michelle will be hooking me up again and recommend she hook you up too! read more

Today was my first day in the shop and I am beyond a happy customer!! Antoinette is absolutely amazing!! She took good care of me and did a beautiful job on my senegalese twists!! read more

Michelle has her small braiding salon inside a wig store which is good for the customers as it keeps her rate lower than other places. My boyfriend had been wanting to change his hairstyle but always thought it would take a big chunk of money out of his bank account. So I did some research for him and found this gem! He grew his hair out to the length of his nose and Michelle only charged $20 for braiding it. It was quite a steal! She is super experienced but I took off one star because she didn't tie it tight enough on one side so after a couple of days they got uneven. read more

As a hair stylist and salon owner I specialize in healthy hair and hair care but it's hard to find a stylist for myself to treat my hair and ends the way I do for my clients! lol I have gone all natural and was ready for a lenght check and ends cut and I found Mitchelle! I'm happy I went with my first mind and tried her out. She was very knowledgeable about hair care, porosity, moisture and most of all heat control!!! My hair may look thick and kinky but it is very soft and fragile. Which has gotten my hair burned out a lot in the past. She did not use to much heat, go over it to much and she was fast. She took me in as a same day appointment and is very sweet and comfortable. I fell asleep during a press!!! Lol thank you so much I love my hair!!! read more

Hair By Michelle - Now here is my photo I forgot to add with my review. Love it! - Hair Extensions Near Me - Concord, California

Went to check this place out because I'm a new Mommy who was not willing to drive two hours to my girls shop again. I had an event coming up and needed my hair braided. Based on the reviews and the appearance I was open to trying this spot out. I called and asked if they did "Lemonade braids" to my surprise she was unfamiliar with the lingo bit h said that she can do it once I'd described what they were. "I was pleased when I got a fast appointment. On the day of my appointment when I entered the shop I was slightly taking back because it was under NEW management and had been remodeled. The shop also serves as a "beauty supply" that has all your braiding and or weaving necessities. The owner and hairdresser is michelle' she was a cool lady. I showed her a picture of what I would like and she again was confident that she can satisfy. She stated that she have been in the hair business for 20 plus years. "That was nice to here" We had GREAT conversations and she always asked if the room temperature was ok with me. She braided pretty fast, I was done within two hours. I will close with this, although Michelle was fast and courteous, she is not a Braider per say, her specialties are weaves. Had I fully understood that going in, I would of outed for another stylist or location. I believe she did her best. I am satisfied BUT not wow'd. I would of prefer more hair to add body and fullness, especially with my face. $75.00 was the damage. Next time I will invest in a stylist who actually specializes in braiding, cornrows and designs. if you're looking for a blow out, trim & press and weave check her out, show her some support and welcome her to the neighborhood. read more

"The most important thing a woman can have- next to talent of course- is her hairdresser." words that I live by. In my book, bad hair is a bad start to a day. I searched and searched for a new stylist in my move back to America, and have been disappointed time and time again. A lesson that I learned that is applicable world-wide: just because a salon sells and promotes products for ethic hair, does not mean that the stylists in the salon can adequately tackle the particularities of ethic hair. *Ahem, JC Penney* With my confidence marred, and hair charred, I gave up on a finding the elusive combination of both skilled AND professional stylist in my part of The Bay. Just as I resigned myself to relying on wigs and ponytails to mask the embarrassing state of my hair, I stumbled upon Hair by Michelle. Boom! Michelle laid my hair down. My hair has not been this straight in months! She treated and pressed my thick, dry, unruly hair so quickly and so well, that I left the salon looking for somewhere to go, and something to do. My new hairdo needed some publicity, ok? Michelle even referred me to a barber, so my love wouldn't have to drive to Richmond or Oakland for a reliable, bump-free taper and line-up. The run down: Open on Sundays, check. Early morning appointments, check. Accepts credit cards, check. Easy to find, check. Convenient parking, check. Good atmosphere. check. Timely. check. Honest and reasonable prices. check. I'm very picky, (therefore I Yelp) and don't give out 5 stars very often, but Hair by Michelle is definitely on my phone's favorite list, and her address saved in my GPS. She is now a staple in my beauty arsenal. read more

Michelle has been my hair care expert and stylist for 6 years and my 5 year old daughter's hair for 3 years. After a "stylist" in Oakland permed my hair out and I had bald spots and patches, I ditched the creamy crack (relaxers) and went natural. Michelle came highly recommended. She took excellent care of my hair and scalp and taught me how to care for my hair at home. The first time I sat in her chair in 2009, my hair barely reached my shoulder. After 6 months in her hands, my hair was bouncing a inch past my shoulders. My thin, limp, permed out hair was now full, medium-long, and luxurious. Michelle cares for your hair and scalp while saving you time. I could never go back to being in a salon for 4-8 hours. Michelle has spoiled me to 2 hours or less and superior service! read more

Today was my first time going to Michelle! Her reviews on yelp are what led me to her and she did not disappoint. I wear my hair naturally curly, but hadn't had it cut in years. My ends we terrible and hair was tangled. I went to Michelle to get it cut and shaped, so it didn't look like I was wearing a mop on my head. She washed it, cut it, shaped it and it looks absolutely wonderful! She was professional, on time (this was huge and the reason why I never got my hair done in a long time), and was lovely to talk to. I will definitely be going back to her to get my hair done again. I also am recommending her for natural hair wearers. She knows what she is doing. Thanks Michelle! read more

FABULOUS! Michelle made me feel extremely comfortable and welcome. She listened to my questions and gave suggestions with maintaining my hair while at home. It was great to find a stylist in the East Bay that has a large clientele of natural "press and curl" clients as I do not have a relaxer. I am extremely pleased with my hair and will be back to Michelle. read more

Awesome, and super fast! Long hair, shampoo and flat iron, in and out in under 1 hour and I love my hair!!! So excited to have found Michelle, I'm never breaking up with her :-) read more

Michelle always can fit me in, no month ahead appt needed. Shes fast too, i can go in 2 hours before work and arrive fresh :) She is into HAIR CARE not just styling it and damaging it in the process like my past hair dressers, which I wasn't even aware of. Michelle makes my hair healthier, and it feels so clean afterward. She's also affordable! And its hard to find that combination of quality, efficiency, and affordability. Not to mention she's entertaining as all heck! I will follow this hair dresser wherever she goes. I even get hair compliments from men, LOL, Thanks Michelle. read more

I happend to hear of Hair by Michelle from Yelp. Since the holidays were nearing, I had tried other salons but none had openings for appointments. I randomly called Michelle and she took me in. I must say I am glad I went to her. Michelle is thorough, made sure every strand on my head was relaxed, and did a great job in styling my hair. I will visit her salon again. I would give her a five-star, but I am just grading hard! :-). read more

Once again Michelle did her magic on my hair! They can work with all hair types so check them out. The shop is also known as M & E Beauty Salon. read more

This is a pretty late review. I went in earlier this month for a wash, trim, and press and curl. I am beyond satisfied with her work. She's very gentle and educated when it comes to hair. I did the big chop almost 2 years ago and hadn't had a trim nor press. So I was dying to see my length in action lol. Overall Im happy and I'd recommend her to anyone. read more

I have been searching for a place on this side of the tunnel where I can get a full sew in with closure and not cost an arm and leg! Michelle is amazing! I called her Wednesday morning in a panic and she got me in an hour later! I showed up with the wrong hair and no idea what I wanted and she helped figure out exactly what I could do and afford. The other hair dresser Yoshi(sorry for spelling) was the one who actually did my hair. She is awesome! So talented, fast and I was so in love with the end result. Its a very warm and welcoming environment. Very clean and professional! I will never go anywhere else again! read more

Husband needed his hair braided without much notice. Michelle was happy to fit him in the next day and was very professional and quick. Husband was happy about how fast he was in and out, and his hair was done well, exactly as he requested it to be. read more

I'm very happy with this salon. After reading through various salon reviews and taking into consideration, not all experiences will be the same. That being said, I decided to try this salon and hairstylist. We had a brief conversation about what I was expecting, and made my appointment. Upon arriving, ample parking, clean building. Once inside its best to know who you scheduled your appointment with, clients prefer no interruptions. I realized who my person was and eagerly waited. She arrived within minutes. She introduced herself and was On Time!! We had another breif convo about my daily hair needs. I share with her, if she could do practical, cute and short length. She listened, two hours later, beside myself. Also, very accommodating, she ROCKS!! Thank you S. read more

Been getting my dreads retwisted for 5 years went to Michelle since I moved back to la from vegas... BEST RETWIST IVE EVER GOTTEN.. anyone that needs their hair done come here and amazing prices too!! read more

Michelle damaged my daughter's hair with a comb that was too hot for her texture (while relaxing it without my permission). It fell out in clumps. There is no way the previous reviewers are actual customers. I'm guessing they're all family members. I'm still trying to figure out how this lady has her own shop and repeat customers. She is incredibly rude and judgmental about how you maintain your hair and then burns it off. WTH? Don't go here unless you want to leave insulted with damaged hair and a burnt scalp. read more

I will update this review with before and after photos soon, but I wanted to write it now because it is long overdue. I started going to Hair By Michelle almost 2 years ago after I decided that I wanted to focus on getting my hair healthy. I am not a big fan of going to hair salons because I absolutely hate being there all day and that has been my experience in the past. But since I have decided to go natural it has become impossible for me to do much with my hair myself. Anyway, I was lured to her shop in the first place because of all the reviews I read about how in addition to being a great hairstylist, she actually has knowledge in hair care and that is an important aspect of her business. Here are the pros of her business: She is a very nice woman and I always enjoy talking with her during my visits; she definitely knows hair care and will give you tips on how to best manage your hair; she is an expert with straightening natural hair (my hair always feels as silky as it would with a perm, but it definitely has more body because I no longer use those harsh chemicals); she is always on time, I have never had to wait more than a few minutes of my scheduled appointment, if even that; she also knows how to do flawless sew-ins; and she sells quality double drawn hair which means it is much thicker than most others that are on the market. I will continue to go to her for both "press n curls" & "full sew-ins." read more

Michelle is a true professional, she will take care of your hair& give you exactly what you want every time. What's also nice is, you'll be in & out!! She's so fun to be around & gives great advice ;) read more

I really do not know how she is rated a 4 Star maybe she does good hair but my experience with this rude disrespectful unprofessional woman is one I will never forget! I was new in Concord decided to visit her shop, she was running late for my appointment But didn't care to apologize instead she was extremely rude to me until one of her kind staffs suggested to get my hair done. I was so mad at myself for not walking out but I had an event that evening. Michelle you are a disgusting person. I was told you are rude to EVERY SINGLE person who works for you as well as some customers. Terrible! Never ever will I visit her shop again. Wish I could give no stars. read more

I had a good experience at this salon. I'm happy to find a nice salon that is affordable and has good time management. I booked an appointment with Yoshi using the super easy online booking app. I arrived 2 minutes before by 12 noon appointment and went right to Yoshi's chair. She was extremely friendly and welcoming which is always a plus when trying a new salon. After a quick consultation, she thoroughly washed my hair and applied an scalp treatment. She used very good products that left my scalp tingling and feeling good. Yoshi was very gentle with blowing drying and pressing my hair. I could have fell asleep! I asked for soft beach waves and she delivered. I really love how my hair came out and love the fact it didn't set me back over $100 bucks and most importantly I was in and out in under 2 hours!! Good salon, I will be back! read more

A week and a half ago, I was visiting California from Boston to attend my brother's wedding. Needless to say, I had some apprehension about using a stylist that I was not personally familiar with, as I am very persnickety about my hair. I can honestly say, I am glad I read the Yelper's reviews and went to Michelle. Michelle has 15+ years in the beauty industry. She is a very professional stylist that is pro-hair care and uses quality, higher-end products. I was amazed at her speed and efficiency. I was in-and-out in an hour and a half. When she finished, my hair was absolutely beautiful; shiny, curly and full of body. My husband and family loved it. I got so many compliments at the wedding. I truly wish she were in Boston. I would go to see her regularly. read more
