Michelle Vance works as a Houston hair stylist at The Upper Hand’s River Oak’s location. Michelle is amazing at all things hair, but specializes in blending and balayage.
Born and raised in Houston, Michelle graduated from Paul Mitchell in 2015 and went straight into the hair industry. She has worked in the industry for a total of three years, and has been a certified stylist for two and a half years. Michelle is a Goldwell Master Colorist as well as a trained KMS IQ Cutter. She loves to see a client happy and smiling after she finishes a haircut or style, citing this as “the greatest feeling in the world.”
Michelle loves the diversity of Houston and the amazing food scene, as the city is known nationwide for both. Her favorite restaurants are Osaka for sushi and Sullivan’s Steakhouse for…well, its namesake.
If Michelle could work on any celebrity’s hair, she would choose Taylor Swift because she’s “obsessed,” with her look, her personality, and “well, everything,” about her! She’d love the chance to meet Swift one day.
Outside of work, Michelle spends the bulk of her free time painting. She is an animal-lover and has a lot of pets, all of whom she enjoys taking care of. Her dream is to someday open up a No-Kill Shelter in Houston. Lately, Michelle has been getting into photography and practices by capturing photos of her friends. All-in-all, Michelle is an artistic soul.
I think this is a long pixie not a bixie - with anime lil guy vibes

y’all, do as the video says! 👌
I created this look using the #airtouch technique combining darker lowlights + lighter lowlights to make this a more dimensional brunette. 👏
This is a perfect example of how you can tone down your highlighted hair for more of a low maintenance look, especially when you’re wanting a seasonal change. 😗🫶

After much deliberation, because it is a combination of several cuts, Ive decided this is a disconnected, jellyfish shag. Thank you for listening

And also for the Great Day segment- Olivia metamorphosed into a vibrant pastel look! I used the shape of her cut to determine placement and created something reminiscent of a prism in a pink and green base- also pink eyebrows! Thank you, frogsfairy

Something a little different this time for David, he loves his wolfcut but needed something shorter and “cleaner” for work but still wants it to suit his style and vibe
