Why Michael Beel is a Must-See at HAIR The Movement
“Over the past few years, Michael’s styling has truly caught my eye. When I saw the incredible hair looks he created for Rita Ora, I knew he was someone special—it absolutely made me sit up and take notice. Michael was my first choice for the editorial section, and for good reason. His strong styling and impeccable setting skills are unparalleled. I have no doubt his presentation will leave you feeling inspired and eager for more.” Sharon Blain
