AMICI SALON - Key Persons
As a Parisian Beauty Academy graduate I've been taking my education to the next level by taking several advanced classes to specialize in color, as well as make up and eyelash extensions. I take pride in my work and am truly passionate about my profession. I've worked with many companies such as Wella, Davines, Redken, Paul Mitchell, Lanza and MAC. What other industry allows this amount of artistic freedom and diversity? To me, to really make someone feel good is being able to make the outside match an individual's spirit on the inside. There is always something new to learn. A hairstyle is an expression, so let me make yours!

In the 90's she owned and operated a full service hair, nails and tanning salon in Sussex County. She sold it to return to Essex County. Upon returning she was always looking to open another salon with all the right attributes. She finally found Amici, and returned back to the beginning, where she started her career in Nutley.

Michelle graduated from Seton Hall University in 1984 with a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing. But in her senior year of college, she decided to pursue her real passion- the beauty business. She attended Capri Institute and also graduated in May 1984 with a manicuring license. Michelle and her partner opened Glitter…a salon for nails in 1985. After Glitter closed in 1993, Michelle worked in a few salons in Cedar Grove, Nutley and finally came to Amici in November 2011.

She prides herself in these skills, which she has been doing for almost 30 yrs. Michelle has also added the soak-off manicure to her list of services, a great application for clients who want their manicure to last.
