Opening hours
Michael Kelly is recognised as one of Australia’s leading colourists - a visionary who combines technical precision with an intuitive sense of personal style. With nearly two decades in the industry, he has become synonymous with transformative, forward-thinking hair and an education platform that continues to inspire stylists globally.
Renowned for his signature approach where healthy, luxury colour meets individualised consultation, Michael’s influence extends well beyond the salon. His passion for education has taken him from global stages to intimate masterclasses, where he’s celebrated for making advanced techniques accessible while nurturing creativity and confidence.
In 2023, Michael brought his long-held vision to life with Salon HER, a boutique space in Darlinghurst that redefines modern luxury in hairdressing. Designed to evoke the warmth of a downtown LA lobby bar, Salon HER is a sanctuary where exceptional service, authentic connection, and elevated results come together.
Salon HER is the truest reflection of Michael’s philosophy: honest, passionate, and uncompromising in the pursuit of excellence.
