Michele Huffaker

Michele Huffaker runs Manes By Michele as its owner, a business she started in 2022 as an independent stylist. Her training began with a December 2018 start in the cosmetology program at Paul Mitchell, where she finished with honors the following March, and she later returned to that school as an educator for students new to the trade. She holds a cosmetologist license and a barber license, both obtained in August 2019, and has completed a barber crossover program. From February 2020 she worked as a commission stylist, and in 2025 she joined Alchemy Salon & Spa. Her extension certifications include DreamCatchers tape-in and i-tip, and she is working toward Habit Extension Method certification. Her specialties are vivid fashion colors, lived-in blonding, precision haircuts and smoothing treatments such as Brazilian Blowouts. Each year she takes continuing education in cutting, coloring, blonding, vivid color and styling, and she welcomes clients of every background, identity and hair type.
