Our Team

Say hello to our Salon Director Michelle who qualified in 2001 aged 18 and bought her first salon six years later.  She remains just as passionate and is focusing on building Studio 74 into a salon that customers love to visit and where our team love to work.

What do you love about the hair industry?  I love the energy of the salon – it’s like one big family with our team and clients. Seeing people leave feeling amazing never gets old. I also love being surrounded by such talented people and pushing each other to keep getting better. It’s a really rewarding space to be in.

What is your ultimate ambition?  To keep building a salon that people genuinely love coming to, whether they are working here or getting their hair done. I want to create opportunities for my team to grow and keep evolving the business without ever losing that personal touch.

How would you describe yourself in 3 words? Three words to describe me: Perfectionist, loyal, determined.

Tell us something about you that might surprise others. Outside the salon, I also run a property business –  I secretly love all things business and would happily pick a podcast or business book over TV any day. Juggling both worlds definitely keeps life interesting!

We’re thrilled to welcome James to the Studio 74 family! With over 20 years in the hair industry, James has worked everywhere from Peterborough to Sydney, managing salons, training teams, and styling for Miss World and Miss Universe Australia.
