Michelle Lawson was the little girl who brought friends home on the bus, ushered them straight into the bathroom, and would fulfill any hairstyle request asked of her - with the kitchen scissors of course. Every time Michelle saw a hairstylist during her youth she was mesmerized and inspired, and was committed to becoming one of the people she looked up to.

Upon graduating top of her class at Okanagan Cosmetology Institute, Michelle began her career at Heiress Salon and immediately broadened her skills through the caring and comprehensive mentorship program at Heiress. A strong believer in consistent education, Michelle has attended multiple Aveda classes, as well as a memorable trip to Toronto for a 3 day Vidal Sassoon precision cutting class.

Michelle loves the outdoors, health, fitness and self improvement. She is very passionate about bettering herself daily and expanding her mind. She loves learning new things and other people's perspectives on things. Michelle believes the more interaction you have with people, the more you can learn from them and even learn about yourself which is why being one on one with guests is a huge bonus of her career.
