Michelle’s love for the beauty industry started when she was (5) years old, tagging along to her aunt Rose’s NJ salon nearly every day. As the years passed, she interned for Redken and Pureology Corporate in sales and marketing. She pursued further beauty marketing roles with L’Oreal USA before receiving her MUA certification.

As a certified makeup artist at Chic Studios in NYC, Michelle continued to develop her role as an artist working on set with Shape magazine and industry-leading photographers.

12 years later, her dream of owning a salon with her aunt Rose has come to fruition. Michelle looks forward to bringing her passion for skincare and makeup to River & Rose, and sharing her knowledge with you.
