MEET THE ARTIST

Hi i’m Michael, the owner and lead stylist at Truth Salon. My journey into the world of beauty began a decade ago when I moved to Northern Virginia to study at Paul Mitchell the School. I further refined my craft with a two-year apprenticeship specializing in color at PR@Partners.

After five rewarding years at a salon in McLean, I opened Truth Salon in Ballston, Arlington, with a vision of creating a uniquely personal and exclusive experience for my clients.

Over the years, my specialty has evolved into creating sun-kissed dimensional looking hair color. I tailor each color to complement your unique skin tone, face shape, and personal style. Additionally, I offer a variety of extensions and smoothing treatments to help you achieve your dream hair with minimal upkeep. My goal is to make your hair look effortlessly beautiful and easy to manage at home.

I’ve been seeing Michael for over a year, and he’s the whole package! Amazingly talented, and one of the nicest colorist/stylists out there. He’s passionate about creating the most amazing version of you, but only better with his eye for natural colors, beautiful balayage, and highlights! He’s able to capture exactly what you’re looking for, and you leave his salon feeling beautiful.

Michael is a gem! He made the whole process so easy and I’m in love with my hair. I showed him pictures and he knew exactly what I wanted, and it turned out perfectly! Will for sure be going back to him in the future!

Michael is a hair genius with color, highlights, balayage, cutting and all things hair! He is a perfectionist and makes sure that your hair is on point and will take extra time if needed to make sure it’s right. I followed him here from Revolution Colour Studio; and even though it adds time to my commute, he’s worth the trip. Also I always have a laugh with him while getting my hair done. Trust me. He’s the best and you won’t regret going to him.

I could not be happier with my hair!!! Michael really takes his time to listen to what you want and he makes sure he delivers!!! He pays attention to detail while being fast and efficient. Super easy to talk to and the salon is beautifully designed and squeaky clean. Parking is really easy and close to the main entrance of the building. I left LOVING my hair and I feel like a million bucks! My hair is SO healthy and soft I could not have asked for a better experience. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you SO much from the bottom of my heart.

I’ve been a client of Michael for about 2 years and will follow him wherever he goes. He is amazing with color and balayage.

I’ve gotten my hair cut and colored at other places in the DMV before Truth Salon, and it never turned out that great. My mom and I have both been seeing Michael for 4+ years — we followed him here from his old salon. Plus, Michael is always fun to talk with! :) I recommend Truth Salon to all my friends, so if you’re looking for a new hair stylist, look no further! You’ll be glad you did.
