Originally from Nürnberg, Germany.

Michael’s innate talent, enhanced early on by exceptional training in Munich/Germany and London/England, has earned him praise internationally. He proudly holds our Creative Director title.

Along with his salon responsibilities, he consults for major beauty/fashion companies, presenting NYC trends and helping in product development. His creative team collaboration projects with fashion photographers/stylists, models and make up artists as well as fellow hair creatives result in stunning imagery.

“New York City and its driving energy plays a tremendous part in how I do, what I do. Whether it’s cutting someone’s hair in the salon, presenting my work on a stage or thinking about a style concept for an upcoming shoot, passion, for me is key. I believe strongly that passion promotes quality. A service in my chair begins with communication. I listen, and with my client, plan both short and long term goals. I always create styles based on a strong foundation built to last. The instant gratification of making someone look and feel beautiful is tremendously rewarding for me. The genuine smile of a satisfied client is very special. When we created MIDOMA, we created a platform that is inspiring and motivating by incorporating New York’s endless resource of artists, designers and their works. Law of attraction brings us clients who appreciate and respect artistry.”
