    Coffee and SPARKLING water
    Johnny N.

    A few weeks before coming home for Thanksgiving, I off hand mentioned to my dearest mother that I wanted to get a haircut soon. A day later I get a text reading "your hair appt is with Michael at Mikell Coiffure's 11/18 at 9:45am. He doesn't take new clients but he is seeing you!" ahahahahaha gotta love Moms. I arrived right on time as I know my mom would have had my head on the guillotine if I was late. I walked up the steps directly adjacent to Sugarfish, and opened the door into a breathtaking French-Moroccan inspired interior with an ocean view peaking through the window. The receptionist greeted me with a huge smile as I checked in and asked me if I wanted coffee or some water to which I obviously said "both hehe" and then asked if I wanted still or sparkling water. God I loved being pampered sometimes. But the answer to that question is always sparkling. Always. After getting my hair washed, I got in the comfy salon chair and a silk green robe draped over me. I felt like a king in here ahahaha. Michael then comes out in a white tank top under a light green button down, hermes bracelet on the wrist, multi color golden gooses on the feet, all tied together by a pearl necklace that he got off amazon (allegedly). Why am I giving you all these details? I have no idea I'm just trying to set the scene. I walked into Mikell Coiffure, hair down to my shoulders looking like "a sheepdog" as my father so eloquently puts it. But I think I look like a rockstar heheheheh. Anyways, I didn't really know what I wanted to do. After explaining to Michael I kinda want to go back to my clean cut choir boy look but I'm conflicted because I have been growing my hair out for awhile and I do like the Rockstar, or Sheepdog, look, he asked how long I'd had it long. "About 2 years..." I said with my tail between my legs. "Okay let's go clean cut" with the confidence of a 2017 Tom Brady. DONE! Michael is the most engaging hair stylist or barber I have ever been to, as he is so genuinely passionate about his work that I don't think he could hide it if he tried. I got insights into the beauty industry, how he decided on the Salon name, stories of his travels to Morocco that inspired the interior for Mikell Coiffure, and much more. You can teach many things in life, but passion isn't one of them. This passion, in my experience, leads directly to success and is why he can't take any new clients, unless you know Nancy Novo ahahahaha big Nanc is the plug! As for the haircut, I will leave you with a short anecdote: I sent before and after pictures to my girlfriend, who in some circles is known as "The Ice Queen." She laughed at the before one and hearted the after one. A compliment, in the highest of regards, coming from her. BUT ACTUALLY THIS HAIRCUT FR CHANGED MY LIFE! I'M MOVING SO DIFFERENT NOW Y'ALL BETTER WATCH OUT! FELLAS, INVESTING IN A GOOD HAIRCUT IS WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD I PROMISE YOU! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

    The best salon in the South Bay! I've been seeing Michael for almost 10 years. I've followed him from salon to salon until he finally opened his own, because I love him SO MUCH, and no one does my hair like he does. There's been times where I show him a picture, and he does exactly what i want. There's also been times where I have no clue what I want to do, give him free reign, and it comes out gorgeous. He is amazing with blondes/brondes/balayage, and he knows exactly what I mean when I say I don't want "yellow" or I want "ashy". I think he really gets to know his clients and what they want, and that's what makes him a master at his craft. He books out very far in advance (for good reason), so if you make an appointment, try to keep it !

    Mikell is one of the chicest salons I've been to in a long time and McCall is your girl! She's been doing my cut and color for several years now, I will follow her wherever she is :) you can tell she is passionate about her work and her art. As someone who has struggled with thin/fine hair, I always know I am in good hands with McCall. She makes thoughtful suggestions and prioritizes my hair's overall health while still always making my cut and color on point + she styles like no other. She's done my hair for multiple parties, award shows, and other life events and never disappoints. McCall is truly talented!!!

    Mikell Coiffure is the best place for highlights in the South Bay and LA area!! I drive 40 minutes just to see Michael and his amazing team for full and partial highlights. The salon is a calm, beachy sanctuary with a view of the ocean just a few blocks away. Michael is the best -- he always understands and delivers exactly what you want and is efficient, professional, and just a fun vibe to be around. I can't imagine getting my hair done anywhere else!

    As good as it gets! I have been with Michael for the past 8 years and he's the only one I trust with my hair. I have lived in San Francisco for the past 3 years and I still travel down to Manhattan Beach just so he can make me feel beautiful by working color and cut magic on my dark, thick, and difficult hair. I had the pleasure of visiting the new MIKELL COIFFURE space and really appreciated all the high-end touches in the salon and the warmth and friendliness of the staff. Great attention to detail has been made to the simple, modern, and beachy bohemian decor, which is so befitting to the location. If you want to feel pampered and walk out of the salon feeling new, fresh, and confident you shouldn't hesitate on booking an appointment.

    I can not recommend Kim enough! She has been cutting my hair for years and is the ONLY person I go to when I need my hair cut. She understands my texture and how I wear my hair to give me the perfect cut every time. She also did a root gloss to blend my color back since it had been a few months. Kim is so down to earth, funny and overall so passionate about her craft. She strives to make any type of appointment the best for her client. She makes you feel so welcomed and relaxed in her chair. It was my first time at her new location, Mikell Coiffure, and I fell in love. The staff made me feel welcomed the moment I walked through the door. The vibes were super positive and relaxing, and the details in the whole salon made it so aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Even the hand soap in the bathroom was amazing!

    Okay where do I begin... I came in for a color correction appointment with Sarah Bella. I had a bad highlight job a month prior at another salon and was in desperate need to fix my hair. I called and described my situation to the super friendly receptionist who talked me through what services I would need and booked me with Sarah Bella. Best salon experience ever! Sarah Bella was super knowledgeable in her craft and described exactly what she could do to fix my hair and how she would get my hair to what I wanted it to look like. During the process Sarah Bella made sure to explain exactly what she was doing and why and what results they would give which was very reassuring. Once she started drying my hair I honestly couldn't stop smiling because it was what I was looking for + soooo much more. I have never been so happy after a hair appointment. After wearing my hair up for a few months trying to hide my hair, once I had my appointment yesterday I honestly felt so confident and like a new woman. 10/10 would recommend booking an appointment with Sarah Bella. I will now be a regular customer with her at MIKELL COIFFURE. Also, MIKELL COIFFURE is such a cute studio. Amazing interior decor, so many windows letting nice light in, and real plants. Such a great ambiance! Did I mention they hand out eucalyptus hand scrubs/towels during your appointment?! The other stylists/receptionists seemed super nice as well and you could really tell it was a positive/collaborative environment! Thanks for the wonderful experience guys!!

    Michael did my hair and makeup for myself and some of my bridal party in 2011.

    OMG! This is my happy place! I never feel as beautiful as I do after getting my hair done by Michael. That is why I had him do my hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party 11 years ago. Yes, he's been doing my hair for over 11 years now. He did such a wonderful job with our bridal group's hair and makeup! Thanks to him, and other wonderful wedding vendors, we were featured in Ceremony magazine (that is also me flexing). I have had some great stylists. I was loyal to Michael for a long time, but then I left Southern California for Chicago. There I had some wonderful hairstylists but no one, I mean no one, had the talent and magic Michael does. So when I moved back to Southern California, I was so happy to reunite with the person that makes me feel beautiful, Michael! Michael now has the most beautiful salon. I can't get enough of the place. It has a stunning view of the beach, it oozes style and sophistication, the staff are friendly, talented, and so kind. I always leave Michael's services feeling so pampered by him and his staff. Before every important event, my wedding, job interviews, my big 40 birthday party, galas, family events, important photos, etc, I schedule an appointment with Michael. Tip: He books up quick, so plan ahead to get an appointment. When you walk into Mikell Coiffure you will also find your happy place. Go ahead, TREAT YO'SELF. You deserve it!

    Michael has been my hair artist since 2014 when I decided I wanted to dye my hair for the very first time! From partial ombré to full ombré to back to dark brown, Michael has done it all and leaves me in awe every time! I have referred many friends and family to Michael and they always seem to want to come back to him! He is the most hard working, down-to-earth, positive, and humble person I know and I am so happy he finally opened his own salon to continue to spread his charismatic energy and talent to the South Bay. If you are looking for a new color, cut or hair artist, Michael is your guy!

    I've been following Michael around the South Bay for the past four years and am beyond thrilled that he finally took the leap to open his own salon. Michael is without a doubt the most talented hair dresser in the area and MIKELL COIFFURE does not disappoint. It's beautifully decorated, extremely welcoming and has a view of the beach - what more could you ask for? I highly recommend booking your next appointment here, I cannot say enough good things.

Not only did she come to Palm Springs for the wedding, she arrived early and was very prepared. I later found out she had the busiest Saturday ever - but she stayed calm, cool and on schedule throughout the whole day. And not to mention, made my bridesmaid and mom look AMAZING. Throughout the wedding process, she was very quick to answer questions, was flexible with fluctuating numbers and was so sweet and easy to work with. Each bridesmaid had a different idea of what they wanted for hair and Krystyna was able to make those ideas come to life (and even better looking than the pictures they brought to her!). The most comforting thing for me was that she was friendly, easy to talk to, comfortable with all of us and stayed on such a good schedule - which meant less stress for this bride! Thank you again, Krystyna, for being part of my wedding day and making my girls look even more gorgeous. Five stars is not enough!!

She is also the sweetest and so accommodating. On my wedding day, I ended up wanting a different hairstyle than we planned, and she did it perfectly without any stress.

What's really great about Rachel is that she has the ability to combine your inspiration pictures and turn them into a look that's perfectly right for you. The combination of her talent, honesty and knowledge is exactly what every bride needs; she will only create a look that she knows will make you look and feel like the best version of yourself! And logistically, she's very responsible on time and the pacing - a great quality when you've got the day planned down to the minute. Also, if possible, get your bridesmaids to spring/opt-in for her services. She can artfully create individual looks for every single person while still holding true to the tone and theme that the bride has already set. Because she's so good at what she does, it's usually pretty obvious when someone doesn't opt-in for the services and can be a miss for the photos. Trust me... she's totally worth it. They'll be very glad they spent the money!
