I just had my hair colored by Marice and she did a wonderful job. I've searched for years to find a colorist who would give me the result I wanted and I'm thrilled that I found Marice. She listened to what I wanted and gave me the exact result I had hoped for. Everyone in the salon is friendly and delightful to deal with . Listening to their Irish brogue for a couple of hours is the icing on the cake. I can't recommend this salon highly enough . They're just wonderful in every respect read more

This was such a wonderful place. As a man, I would go there every six weeks roughly and get a wonderful haircut from Karen. It breaks my heart to see that the mbuilding burned down. Hey yelp! where did you get the date of February 2035 for the reopening? Does anyone else know if the staff is trying to relocate or how we might help them out? read more

Great service! Been a customer for 20 plus years. So happy they were able to relocate to Santa Monica after the fires.

Michele International is a throw back to Pacific Palisades, from before Carousoland. It truly represents the best part of the Palisades. Relaxed, friendly, beachy, and great service. It is definitely international, my wife and I were in Ireland on a trip. In one small town, we were having a drink in a pub and just chatting others, it came up where we lived. The group instantly asked if we knew MI? Small world we said. My entire family goes here for a myriad of reasons. Haircut,s, blowouts, color, products etc. The bottom line is if you're a local to the Palisades you know and love Michele International like we do. Come check it out, read more

I live in the Palisades and have always gone to Beverly Hills to get my hair done. I decided to come to Michele Int because it's 5 minutes away. I was fortunate to have a lovely woman named Kinga. She was soooo good. Funny, Sweet and skilled....everything you want from a stylist. I also had some nice conversation with the other patrons who were lovely. Just a good overall vibe. I WILL be back. Thanks ladies! read more

Always a great time and great service! It's so lovely and comforting to visit a family business where they know their customers by name and are invested in a good result. I wish we had more of these. read more

Maurice did it again! I had been considering doing something different with my hair now that summer is rapidly approaching and I am always running around chasing cars (car dealership salesperson). On pure impulse I sauntered over to a "fancy" barber shop across the street. Wait was long, and it was rushed job as barber was shoving his equipment (closing time). Wasn't feeling it, dissatisfied with level of service provided and end result. I have a bald line across the temple area on right side. Maurice is off today so I rushed over to see Tara, another GREAT stylist. Well, to my pleasant surprise, Maurice was there! AND did her best to rectify the cut. She took her time, made sure all angles were right and saved the day! I am elated with the work, she gave me an accurate price and most of all, made me feel confident and secure in knowing she is there when I need her to come to the rescue. See Maurice when you need a cut, style, tint. She does it all! And most of all she is EXCELLENT and prides herself in her work ethic and performance. Thank you MARICE! read more

I made an appointment with Karen to color my roots and a blow dry for today. When I arrived 5 minutes early, Karen was waiting for me. So refreshing as I usually have to wait whenever I go anywhere else. This was my first time at this location and it was such an amazing experience. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. Oh, and my hair, it looks FABULOUS. The color was so evenly blended with all the other colors in my hair. I am so truly happy with my hair. I would highly recommend Karen. She is truly a COLOR EXPERT! read more

$60.00 for a blow dry....no way..they are so over priced. I won't go back again. So upset about this. read more

I wish I could give Karen 10 stars. I went to her salon in Boston for years and then we both moved to West. Despite a few year gap between cuts in Boston and California, she remembered the wave of my hair and shape of my head as if no time had passed.... I'd never colored my hair prior to visiting Karen in CA bec I didn't trust anyone to make the highlights look real. No one noticed Karen's highlight work except to say, "Wow, you seem 10 years younger. What's going on?" And that's exactly what I'd been hoping for. Karen is AMAZING and layers the cuts and colors better than I could have dreamed. LOVE her work. I travel down from The Bay once a quarter, for a cut and foil that stand the test of time. Just amazing. read more

It's been well over 6 months since Ms. Choppy McChopperson cut so far into ONE SIDE of my hair, I STILL get told by my stylist that it hasn't all grown out yet. Siiiiigh. Here's the deets: I bought some sort of coupon that, if I remember correctly, you got a cut, some foils, a facial and a massage. My friend purchased one as well, and was the first to go for the haircut. The gentlemen that did her hair did an amazing job. We then went in together, she got her facial and wax, and I requested some funkier layers. Again, the woman that did her facial was GREAT! On to the hair cut - yes, possibly 'funky layers' can be transcribed to 'chop into only ONE side of my hair.' Not ... seriously, I could pull up a layer on the opposite sides of my head, and the side that was mauled was INCHES shorter! Crazy lady - she was telling me the whole time about some whackass stories about her married ex (why do I still remember this) and went on and on about herself. She finished my haircut right around close and I waited while my friend was getting her facial. THE ENTIRE STAFF, including the receptionist, LEFT ME AT THE SALON! They shut off all the lights and asked me to leave out the back. Ummm ... I could've been some whacko that stole their products. Lucky them, I didn't. But you seriously do not leave a client in a dark salon like that. Fast forward a few days ... I couldn't handle the haircut. I talked it over with my stylist friend, and she said to go back and see if the lady could fix it, give her another chance. So i called the salon, they were very accommodating and even though I reaaaaaally didn't want to go back to Chatty Kathy, I did anyway. She acted like it was exactly what I asked for and that it looked perfect. No, lady, it didn't. I'd shown the entire office and they all agreed it looked horrendous. Anyway, she chops into the other half of my head and tells me I look like a rocker Joan Jett. Ughhhhh ..... So NOOOOOOO I would never, in a million years, go back to this lady. I don't know how she got 2 reviews that she was so amazing on here. It has to be friends or someone that just gets a straight cut. I hate griping, I do. The only saving grace on this is the lady that did my massage on the later date (same one that did my friend's facial and wax) was really GREAT! So was the gentlemen that did my friend's hair. I got shafted with the whack job of a haircut, but whatevs. It's hair and it's oooooh-so-slowly growing back. read more

I have been coming here since I was just a kid. I refuse to go anywhere else. Michele International embodies what a great salon should: a warm, friendly staff, and excellent quality services. To me, there is no better option on the Westside. read more

Michelle International is great. The staff is talented and gracious. Highly recommend it!

Karen is a fantastic stylist. She really listens to what you want in a cut and always comes through. I had been going to the same stylist in Beverly Hills and was nervous about changing to someone new but I'm very happy going to Karen. read more

Honestly Karen is a great hair stylist. She gets motivated to involve herself in making me look amazing. I highly recommend her.

OMG! Diane is the BEST! She is my go-to hair stylist! She does it all!anything u need done, she does it! I recommend her to everyone, even to strangers that approach me about how they love my hair! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my hair and Diane! She's genuine and cares for the health of your hair, too! Thanx Diane, you're the bestest!! read more

My hair is totally damaged from the lack of knowledge by one of their stylists. I was getting foils and the girl doing my hair did not know that you have to pull the ends of your hair out so you don't totally fry them. Well, that's exactly what happened. Now I am dealing with breakage and dry frizzy ends. I'm in the process of treating and trimming until I can properly color again read more

Went to get a cut and color and Love My Hair! Great job, super friendly staff, very clean. I will for sure be going back. Everyone was very nice and already have two compliments on my color read more

I've been going to Michele International for years and it is the best hair salon ever! Anne is the best!

I agree with Debbie L...I too was a little nervous to try a new hair dresser, but with a busy schedule I never had time to leave the Palisades. I started going to Karen over a year ago and she is great...friendly, and does a fantastic job! My schedule has settles a little, but I still go to Karen! If you are in the Palisades and looking for local stylist, check her out :) read more

I've had my very curly hair blown out by Alicia (book blow-outs through the beauty supply store, which is a few doors down from the hair salon: 310-454-8022). She did a fantastic job and is really friendly. On one occasion, she created a great look for a wedding. The people at the front desk are helpful and always work to accommodate my scheduling requests. They have a great selection of hair supplies, too. Highly recommended! read more

I went and got about 6-8 cut, which was scary enough as it was. She stylist, "Karen" said that the hair cut I wanted was outdated, but to trust her. I want to trust people, so I said do your thing, listed a few things I wanted and let her at it. When I left the first time right after it was cut, my girlfriend said the back was so disproportionate compared to the back. So, I go back in and have that corrected. I had asked if there was anything she could do about the curly baby hairs right above my side burns. Rather than just trimming them with a scissors, she decided to shave enough to the point where if I lift my hair that hangs down from the top to my ears, it looks like I got the start of a buzz cut around my ears. At this point there's nothing that can fix this but time, because I'm not looking to shave my head. The people were all kind and friendly, but come on.... Everyone I've shown this asks, "where did you get your hair cut?" I don't care to a salon or barber shop to make friends, even though it makes me a feel a lot better to have someone that comes off as kind cutting my hair. I go to a salon to get a good hair cut, which I sure as hell did not get at Michele International. My girlfriend also got her hair cut there, one side was probably an inch longer than the other per the person who usually cuts it in Manhattan. I do not recommend getting your haircut here if you want good results. read more

I like this place. People are nice, space is nice, products are nice, people are skilled. What I don't like is to get color, cut and then have to dry my hair myself, or pay $60. I don't want a fancy blow out, just dry hair. I don't understand why anyone would want someone to walk out of their salon not looking perfect. This place lost 2 stars because I hate walking out of a salon wet. read more

A 10 minute haircut for a little girl, straight line along the bottom... $50 plus tip and they didn't even take the dampness out of her hair. She left looking like a drowned rat. We will never go back. read more

Great place for hair, nails and makeup. One star off only because i had to make two appts but they made it up in discounts. Did great costume makeup - see seppie! read more

Hair stylist Tu is wonderful.

Seven years ago I walked past Michele International and saw Anne cutting someones hair. Finally I found a stylist that could cut my hair the way I wanted it. Anne is always so pleasant and she always listens. I moved to Northern California a few years ago, but made frequent trips to LA. I always called to make an appointment to have Anne cut my hair. Most of the time my trips would be on days that Anne did not work, but she would make time for me. I am so glad I found this place and can't say enough about Anne. read more

Everyone in this salon is wonderful! Every one of the stylist is super talented and the people are all super nice. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

Anne is an expert with my hair, which is about as curly, thick, and damaged as hair can get. Every time I go there I just put fate in her hands, and I always leave happy. I have had her do everything: cuts, color (SHE'S AMAZING), and most recently a brazilian blowout which has changed everything for me in the best possible way. Whether it's an emergency appointment (trust me, I've had a few) or just a trim she has always been wonderful. You can't go wrong with any stylist here, but Anne is my girl. Been going to her for 10 years now. Best of the best. read more

Karen cut and styled my hair today and I made it a point to give an amazing Yelp review because I'm so pleased. I brought in a picture of an asymmetrical cut, thinking I would have a hard time actually getting something as specific and unusual. But she understood it after two minutes and gave me exactly what I was hoping for. Yes! Definitely recommend Karen. She was also very warm as a person. Thank you! read more

i'm not sure what happened with those other reviews but my friend went there and the colorist, annie, and the rest of the staff were all lovely people and professional to the nth degree. my friend's hair has never looked so good and felt so good. all i can say is that the staff here rocks and every client that has been there at the times i/my friend have been at michele's has come out looking beautiful. and, they combine just enough warmth and friendliness with their professionalism to make this an excellent place to go for a haircut/color treatment/facial. thanks to all. read more
