Meet Michelle

Michelle - owner shades and fades

Hi, my name is Michelle, and I’ve been a qualified hair professional since 2005. In October 2021, I opened my award winning salon, Shades & Fades in Shawbirch, Telford.

At our salon, we cater to the entire family! From women’s and children’s hair (including memorable first haircuts) to barbering services for men, we provide a comprehensive range of services tailored to your needs.

I specialise in colour corrections and hair repair, and I’m proud to offer something truly unique: Shropshire’s first Japanese Head Spa experience.

Passionate about my craft, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development. I’m proud to have trained with industry experts like Jayne Wallace and Lucy Kew. Sharing my expertise is a priority — I love explaining the science behind colour transformations so that my clients can fully understand and maintain their hair’s health and beauty.

Healthy hair is achievable for everyone, and I’m here to help you make it a reality. We offer free consultations, so don’t hesitate to get in touch and see how we can assist you.

I look forward to welcoming you to Shades & Fades!

Warm regards,
Michelle x
