Best Hairapist (for The Curls): Michelle at Number 9 Salon

Let’s face it: life with curls ain’t easy. It ain’t easy in the real world, and it definitely ain’t easy in Florida where the humidity creates this situation where the curls grow so big and so ugly that they barely make it through doors and must never ever be photographed. Enter Michelle at Number 9 Salon in St. Pete. Michelle cuts curls by the book of Ouidad™ and distracts you from your own hair with stories from her road trips and dog, Basil, plus tips on where to buy the best beer, wine and of course, dairy free cookie butter creamer. She stands behind you through the thick but also the nightmarishly and frightening thin, and when your hair leaves her chair, it’s better equipped to deal with that Florida air and anything else that life throws at its way.
