I’m from a small town called New Plymouth in New Zealand.

I haven’t had many travel fails fortunately. My only travel fails are cancelled flights and coming home without luggage eek!

Both, life’s too short!

Biggest hero?
My dad!
He’s taught me to always work hard and to always keep going.
Why Salon HER ?
Michael interviewed me for a job six years ago and I told him that if he opened a salon I would love to work there. I got the job, we worked together for years — and didn’t want to kill each other! — and that’s pretty damn special.
Hair signature:
Hair extensions. I love giving women their dream hair, even if it isn’t their own. As a fine-hair gal myself I know how limiting it can feel so being able to offer endless options of length, density and colour just gets me excited.

Epic Travel Fail:
Bringing my scissors in my hand luggage and I didn’t have a check-in bag!!!

Exfoliating gloves once a week in the shower on my scalp with my favourite Kerastase shampoo chroma.

I would say my signature would be total hair transformations! Whether it be a drastic colour change, cutting your hair into a bob or adding length with extensions - I love taking clients through the whole process, from start to finish! I am obsessed with a sharp bob or a fresh curly cut as well!

Definitely sweet! Party mix lollies!

Considered one of Australia’s most talented colourists, Michael Kelly has spent close to two decades creating luxe hair for his loyal clientele while inspiring and elevating the industry through his globally renowned education platform. Growing up as a coastal kid in a small surf town, 16-year-old Michael hit up the local mall’s flashiest salon for his first job in the industry before moving to Sydney. Here, he worked and trained under the country’s biggest names in hair and editorial styling, developing his skill set and a standout service ethic. Then came a national role with Oscar Oscar salons leading their education team before wanderlust and an opportunity to relocate to London in 2015 presented the chance to grow and connect with like-minded industry leaders across Europe, America and the Middle East.
Returning to Australia a few years later with an impressive, global social media following, Michael took on his biggest role to date, heading up both the colour and education teams for Australia's most influential salon group at a time of massive expansion. Juggling a demanding client roster with regular travel, he was instrumental in building and scaling what quickly became an internationally revered education offering.
After the privilege of working for Australia’s best and brightest salon groups, it was time for Michael to take the leap towards creating his own. While continuing to grow his Michael Kelly Education platform globally, he began to build his vision for the home of transformative hair. Salon HER opened in January, 2023 on Victoria Street in Sydney’s Darlinghurst. Very much the reflection of his passion for his craft and genuine dedication to his clients, Michael has created a salon experience like no other.
Great Hair Hack: Slick backs. Nothing more to add.

Why Salon HER? There’s nowhere else I’d rather be than HER. No one does it like us.
