Michelle Carson is an amazing hair stylist, she is knowledgeable, friendly and has a great Staff. I can say for the first time my crazy curly hair has never looked better!!! I’ve had people men and women come up to me when I’ve been out with friends and just walking down the street and ask if they can touch my hair because it looks so beautiful!!!! Trust me when I say this has never happened to me. I love how my hair looks, feels and how soft it is and the Diva Curl products smell soooooo good!! I would highly recommend Michelle Carson at Freebird Salon in Thousand Oaks she is AMAZING!!!!!!

Michelle is one of a kind. A true gem. I was not born with curly hair, my hair changed after my kids. My first child it became very frizzy, my second child my nape got very curly and with my third my curls seemed to get even more defined. The problem... I had no idea how to work with them. I loved that I could wash and go, not spend over an hour blowing dry and flat ironing my hair (who has time for that with 3 kiddos) but it never looked good. Then I got a deva cut and style from Michelle and my mind was blown. She is extremely knowledgeable, honest, passionate, and understanding. She takes the time to explain everything step! She creates a wonderful experience for you from start to finish!!!! I highly recommend Michelle at Freebird Hair Studio!!

My appointment started out well. Michelle was very friendly and asked me a lot of questions about my hair then went on about how important it is to take care of your body because it effects the health of your hair. About halfway through the cut another client showed up. When this client arrived Michelle suggested she just refresh my hair with a spray bottle. I told her I had booked for the curl transformation as well and wanted to learn how to style my hair. Looking back I should have just done the refresh but I was a little confused. I've never been to a hairstylist that double books. While my hair was drying a third client showed up. It started to get really crowded in the tiny studio. Michelle stepped out for a few minutes and when she comes back to finish my hair I can smell cigarettes on her hands as she is scrunching my hair. By now I'm ready to just pay and go, then I see my hair and I just want to cry. It is so overloaded with product when I touch it my hand comes away sticky. She makes a comment about how we both learned more about curly hair which sounds an awful lot like the glowing review I read on this website about her before I booked. The only reason I'm giving one star is because it was a decent cut but not worth $160 and a waste of my time. In the end, a 1.5 hour appointment took 3 hours because she was juggling 2 other clients. I was late picking up my kids and had to go home and wash my hair because it was a sticky mess and smelled like cigarettes.
