Michael decided to move uptown and take residency at Delineation Hair and Skin Essentials, as their Creative Director and to relaunch the in-house hair salon. He very quickly gained the respect of magazine editors which kept him in the beauty columns and was crowned the "makeover man!"
With Michael's client list ever growing, it was time for him to expand and branch out on his own. Michael opened his first salon in the affluent heart of Toronto. With news spreading of Michael's new salon he was approached by John Freida to take creative control of their brand for the Canadian market, and led to him appearing in the national television makeover series called "Diva on a Dime"; turning locks from ho hum to holy wow!
In 2006 Michael took a position a the exclusive Charles Worthington salon in Covent Garden, London, quickly moving up the ladder to take the high profile position at their Dorchester Hotel salon as Head Stylist and Salon Manager.
Michael was the approached by the L'Oreal education team to head up their colour education through Eastern England. His role was to demonstrate and train other hairdressers in the latest L'Oreal products, up to the minute techniques and setting their education standards.
During this time Michael was able to draw on his experiences of all the salons visited, to take the best of the best and together with his successful career, bring you Cactus; where the bar has been raised and every client is treated like a star!
