Let’s make your hair dreams a reality!
Michelle Kelly
Hello, I’m Michelle!
I’m a blonding and extension specialist with over 14 years of experience, originally trained in Ireland and now bringing my calm, thoughtful approach to Verde in Braintree. I help guests who want lived-in blonde, seamless extensions, and hair that looks beautiful from day one and grows out effortlessly — without constant maintenance or stress.
My appointments are unhurried, highly personalized, and rooted in honest communication, so you always feel confident in both the plan and the results.
My pricing is $144/hour.

I customize extensions using multiple methods to add fullness or length while keeping hair natural, lightweight, and healthy.
I prioritize hair integrity, realistic timelines, and long-term results — so your hair looks better and feels better over time.

How Does Booking Work?
#1 - Consultation
In most cases, especially with blonding, we’ll start with a free 15-minute consultation, bookable by clicking the button below! It’s a quick chat to go over your hair history, what you’re hoping to achieve, and how much maintenance you’re up for. This helps us figure out the best, healthiest way to get you there—and make sure we’re both on the same page before booking your appointment.
#2 - Booking
After your consultation, you can book your appointment right then and there, or take your time and book later through our Vagaro site. Since we price by the hour, I’ll let you know how much time to book based on your hair goals. You can also call or text the salon anytime if you need help with scheduling!
#3 - Aftercare & Maintenance
Once your service is complete, I’ll walk you through how to care for your hair at home with the right products and tips to keep it looking its best. I’ll also recommend when to rebook based on your color, cut, and goals—whether that’s in a few weeks or a few months. Healthy, beautiful hair doesn’t stop in the salon!
Am I right for you ?
It’s important to see the right stylist.
We are a match if
You want beautiful blonde hair that lasts. I specialize in lived-in blonding and seamless grow-outs, so your color looks intentional and low-maintenance between appointments — not overdone or high-stress to maintain.
You value expertise, education, and honest guidance. With over 14 years of experience and ongoing advanced education, I prioritize hair health and realistic expectations. I’ll always guide you toward what will work best for your hair and lifestyle.
You want a calm, personalized salon experience. My appointments are thoughtful and never rushed. I take time to listen, consult, and create a plan so you feel confident, relaxed, and cared for from start to finish.
Where we may NOT connect
You’re looking for quick, high-volume appointments. My services are detailed and intentional. I don’t rush appointments, as I focus on quality, hair health, and long-lasting results.
You want extreme transformations in one session. I love a transformation but I prioritize the integrity of your hair. Some major changes — especially with blonding or extensions — may require multiple appointments to achieve safely and beautifully.
You prefer low-communication or one-size-fits-all services. Consultation is a big part of my process. If you’re not open to discussing goals, maintenance, and realistic timelines, my approach may not be the best match.
The Ultimate Products?
Glad you asked ;)
This trio is my Holy Grail for most of my clients!
a bit more about me
a bit more about me
When I’m not behind the chair, I’m usually outside with my three golden retriever boys, exploring local hiking trails and soaking up fresh air. I love slower, cozy moments just as much as I love staying active — whether that’s crocheting at home, listening to country music, or enjoying a traditional Sunday roast at an Irish restaurant with a good cup of tea.
I’ve always loved movement and discipline, and before my career behind the chair, I spent years training in kickboxing — an experience that shaped my focus, work ethic, and attention to detail. More recently, I’ve taken up skiing during the winter months as a new way to stay active and challenged.
Above all, my goal is for every guest to feel comfortable, cared for, and confident — like they’re truly in good hands from the moment they sit down to long after they leave the salon.
Thank you for reading all about me and I can’t wait to learn all about you!
