Michelle Motorca
Michelle brings a problem-solver's mindset to every appointment. She loves talking through ingredients, product choices, and the why behind what actually works for your hair. That analytical approach comes from her biology degree, which she pairs with precision cutting to create a look that feels intentional and refined.
She's especially drawn to color for brunettes, building rich, dimensional color that works with darker bases. Lived-in warmth, contoured face-framing pieces, whatever the hair calls for.
A Portland-area native, Michelle brings genuine curiosity to the chair, always chasing a new technique to add to her toolkit. Outside the salon, she's got a book in one hand, a controller in the other, and a running list of movies to get through.
