Meet The Dream Team

Michael kelly
Creative Director
Michael Kelly is widely regarded as one of Australia’s preeminent colourists, a visionary whose work seamlessly blends technical mastery with a deeply intuitive understanding of personal style. With a career spanning close to two decades, he has become synonymous with transformative, future-facing hair, building a loyal clientele and an international education platform that continues to inspire a new generation of hair professionals.

Known for his signature approach, where healthy, high-performance colour meets thoughtful, personalised consultation, Michael’s influence stretches far beyond the salon chair. His commitment to education has seen him take centre stage at global industry events and intimate masterclasses alike, celebrated for his ability to demystify complex techniques while nurturing creativity and confidence.

In 2023, Michael realised a long-held vision with the launch of Salon HER, a boutique space in Darlinghurst, Sydney, that redefines what modern luxury in hairdressing can feel like. Designed to evoke the warmth of a downtown LA lobby bar, Salon HER is more than a salon. It is a sanctuary. A place where impeccable service, meaningful connection and elevated results converge.

Salon HER is the true reflection of Michael’s philosophy, grounded in honesty, fuelled by passion and uncompromising in the pursuit of excellence.
