Blush You, Inc, Austin

At her station in Blush You, Inc, Michelle Schubert transforms clients with bold new hair colors and drastic haircuts or makes subtle changes with root touchups and trims. She wields high-quality Redken and Kenra products and tries to make the salon experience as relaxing as possible by offering soothing add-ons, including pairing her deep-conditioning treatments with complimentary aromatherapy oils.

Michelle is particularly adept at coloring locks and has mastered the industry's latest highlighting techniques, a result of her dedication to continuing education. She refreshes her skills and learns new ones by taking multiple classes each year and attending various hair shows.

Education is so important to her that Michelle makes it a priority to teach the clients who sit in her chair how they can re-create their salon style at home, all without practicing their round-brush blowout technique on the dog's fur.
