Winter doldrums have you down? Don’t worry, cold weather has an emotional impact on just about everyone this time of year. When the mercury plunges, many of us retreat in our homes and daily patterns tend to get ho-hum. We get board and fall victim to mundane routines. And what do we do when we get board? Well, many of us find the burst of rejuvenation we’re seeking in simply changing up our look. We’re always amazed at the amount of new clients we see during the coldest months! Studies show that color impacts the way we feel, interact and move through our day. Color alters our demeanor and dictates our mood in many instances – I don’t know about you, but I don’t feel the same putting on that little orange dress. The little black dress has some sort of power, not found in any other hue, right? Color is personal. Color is definitive. Color gets noticed. The colorists at Jay Michael are seasoned experts in not only foils and mixtures…but they’re also highly trained LISTENERS. Each service provider takes the time to get to know the person in the chair. That means we want to understand what makes you…you. Our job is to accentuate the beauty found within. Hair color is, in a word, transformative, but each individual is different and we celebrate that! If you’re thinking about a new color, highlights. low lights or just want to say good bye to the greys once and for all, come talk to us. We believe that EVERYONE has more fun when they feel good and look their best. Want some inspiration? Just visit our boards on Pintrest! http://pinterest.com/jaymichaelsalon/colorful/

At Jay Michael Salon and Spa, living a beautiful life means living a safe and healthy life and placing the well-being of our employees and clients ahead of the corporate bottom line.
Upon reading recent information disseminated by various governmental agencies and reviewing relevant media reports, we have made an informed, proactive and conservative decision to discontinue performing Brazilian Blowouts in all of our salons, until appropriate safety information is released.
Despite the popularity of this service and its obvious and acclaimed benefit in providing ease of styling, we do not want to jeopardize the health or safety of our valued employees or clients.
We will no longer carry or use “Brazilian Blowout Acai Smoothing Solution” and the “Brazilian Blowout Professional Smoothing Solution.”
We are 100% confident that our ever-popular Keratin treatments (formaldehyde-free) provide the same
(if not better) results. We hope our clients support our decision to stress the importance of providing a healthy and safe salon environment above the benefits of a hair service that provides short-term, but possibly risky results.
Thank You.

Let’s face it—no one wants to look old. Wrinkle creams and good make up application help, but often overlooked is your hairstyle! It’s easy to get complacent about style and many women struggle with age appropriateness of a particular look. I say it all starts with clear communication. There are so many “magic tricks” that I can bring to the table to help you look your absolute best. Whether it’s a pop of new color, some flattering layers or just a clean, classic, no-fuss cut – I’m your man. I can show you ways to maintain your hairstyle once you leave our salon and suggest tools of the trade and styling products that will keep your locks looking fabulous for the weeks following your visit. For me, if your hair is head turning, no one will notice your other imperfections! Hair is the ultimate accessory and aesthetic distraction.
Having done hair for the season finale of Project Runway and also styling at Bryant Park’s Fashion Week for big-time fashion designers like Zac Posen and J. Mendel I can tell you that hair plays a big part of your overall look. You can be in Jeans and a T or a Chanel suit, but if your hair doesn’t look it’s best, well, you’re not fully dressed!
“Hairstyle is the final tip-off whether or not a woman really knows herself.”
~ Hubert de Givenchy, Vogue, July 1985
Come visit me in our Radnor salon and together, lets talk about your vision.
I promise to surpass your expectations!

Many vacationers wait until they reach their destination to de-stress, often overpaying for an underwhelming experience. Don’t settle for mediocrity with a hefty price tag. It’s important for you to prepare your mind, body and spirit for relaxation prior to your departure. This will allow you to thoroughly appreciate your getaway to the fullest.
Think of all the pressure that often accompanies a trip – packing, catching your flight, triple-checking your reservations, hoping your resort actually looks as it does in photos. There is plenty to worry about. Ideally, you want to arrive at your destination with a positive outlook, free of anxiety. Pre-vacation massages grant you the ability to do just that.
Who better to get you relaxed than your go-to (or your soon-to-be) massage therapist? The art of massage should be a very personal experience, rather than some sort of one-size-fits-all assembly line process. Unfortunately, massage sessions at resorts all too often seem like the latter. For a five-star massage come see me! With over 20-years of experience, I can work out your stress knots and kinks so that you achieve optimum serenity.
Wishing you tranquil travels!

We were honored to be a part of the first-ever Flyers Wives Fashion Show, serving as the official beauty team for this stellar event. The looks on the catwalk showcased Nicole Miller’s Spring 2012 Artelier Collection and were donned by the Flyers wives themselves and they looked spectacular! Our own stylists and make up artists from our Ardmore, Radnor and Philadelphia locations participated behind the scenes, readying each model for the runway. We donated our time and talents benefitting the Comcast Spectacor Charities, which serves numerous worthy non-profits in and around the greater Philadelphia area. Missed this debut event? Check out the highlights by viewing our exclusive film, produced in-house.

I love bridal and special occasion hair. There’s nothing I enjoy more than creating “that perfect look” to complement an evening dress or bridal gown.
After all, every woman wants to look her best in all those photos! Whether it’s creating a modern updo with floral accents and/or hair jewelry or cascading double-take curls with painstaking care, my goal is to listen and deliver. Each client is different – and each client’s vision for that special day is unique. That’s why I sit down with my brides before ever touching their hair. There’s nothing more important than making her dreams come true! I want my clients to get the same feeling walking out of our salon as they will walking down that aisle. So if it’s a wedding, prom, black-tie bash, special occasion or just an event or party you’ve been looking forward to. I want to make you beam!
