An Enchanting Vision in Color by Steven Robertson and Janae Johnson

There is a divine feminine spark at the heart of every woman. The

Stylist Profile – Micky from Parleys

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Thinking back on who you have met in the past, you’ll start receiving memories of the nicest and meanest people, most likely because you’ve produced more emotions in their presence. If you take a moment and think of that one person that, when you finished a conversation with, you thought to yourself, “that is the nicest person I have ever met!”, who comes to mind? Who, when graced with their energy, you spread the word to your friends and family of the ‘nice’ they shared with you?

We at Lunatic Fringe have found her.

Growing up in Santa Rosa in Northern California, Micky developed a talent for music, specifically drums. Loving the creative freedom that music gave her, Micky realized that she needed to take another route for a career and keep her love for drums an avid hobby. That is when her passion for the hair industry arrived.

Micky attended Paul Mitchell The School, Salt Lake City, 2 years after she moved to Utah. Already having one year of experience prior to her move, she quickly developed her technical skills. She actively worked on her now established portfolio, won multiple contests, and was a represenative for Paul Mitchell up in Sundance.

Following her graduation from PMTS, Micky set herself up with working with her mentor and friend, Andrew Carruthers, a master stylist for Lunatic Fringe.

Micky has quickly moved from being my favorite client to one of my favorite co-workers. When she came to me quite a few years ago as a guest in the salon, her creativity and love for hair was unmistakeable. We (Lunatic Fringe) are so lucky that she wanted to be a part of our family. I’ve rarely seen a new stylist build a clientele so quickly and continually set new standards; both for herself and the rest of the salon. I honestly believe that we have yet to see her full potential, so I’m very excited to see what’s next from our sweet little Mickey.

What’s Micky’s favorite thing about hair dressing? Getting to know new people. Creating excitement while creating a comfortable environment. She loves using creativity to guide her consultations and your hair in the right direction.

Women. Want make up tips? Micky can give you a complimentry make up application featuring new techniques and trends following a hair service.

Getting married? Need a make up artist? Micky offers her services and techniques in the salon and on-site if needed.

Men. Want a change from your coarse or curly hair? Micky will give you the hair relaxing treatment of a lifetime. Less maintainance for you, more excitement for her!

Micky’s goals can be simplified in to one sentence, “Becoming the best I know I can be.” She ultimately wants to become a technical and business coach for Lunatic Fringe so she can pass on her ways to other new and longtime stylists.

To get in to contact with Mickey, reserve your services with her at our Parleys location.
