Say hello to your hairstyling hype girl:
collector of bleach stains and bobby pins.
I’m Michelle, the lead hairstylist and owner of Modest Medusa. As a licensed Hair Designer based in Snohomish, Washington, I specialize in blonding, vivid color, extensions, and wedding hair. With nearly a decade of experience in the wedding industry, I’m passionate about providing a personalized and customized experience for each client.
I truly love my craft!
I travel to all corners of the PNW and beyond (seriously, I’m always up for an adventure!).
While my favorite styles are soft and romantic, I’m always excited to take on alternative and edgy looks.
I have an eye for symmetry and balance, and I’m committed to bringing each client’s unique hair vision to life.
What sets me apart?
I only book one event per day because you deserve my full attention! Neither of us should feel rushed, especially with an already packed timeline.
I pride myself on being transparent with my clients because I understand that not every hairstyle is right for every individual. I’ll offer my suggestions and work with you to ease any worries, ensuring we create a hair design that complements your attire, theme, and the weather.
<----- As a 2023 newlywed, I truly understand the significance of finding the perfect vendors for your big day. While I specialize in hair, I believe that also allows you the opportunity to find a makeup artist or other vendors who excel in their own specialty!
Modest Medusa is non-discriminatory, all-inclusive, and an LGBTQIA+ ally, offering hairstyling services to everyone! I pride myself on truly getting to know my clients, and this personal connection has turned nearly a third of my wedding clients into regular salon clients. Clients often tell me that I’m not only friendly and calming, but also one of the best hype girls behind the scenes!
My motto at Modest Medusa, is:
“leave them speechless,
turn them to stone.”
So, let’s create some magic & captivate your audience!

Michelle is the absolute best!
From the moment I reached out to Modest Medusa - Hairstyling, I could tell they were a cut above the rest. Michelle is so loving, kind, and genuinely was invested in making my wedding day perfect. The hair styling she provided was exactly what I was looking for! Michelle made me feel so important , beautiful and at ease. I cannot recommend Modest Medusa enough to any future brides looking for a hair stylist who will go above and beyond to ensure you look and feel your absolute best on your special day!
Must-have stylist!
Michelle was absolutely amazing to work with! She really took her time getting to know my wife (then-fiancé) and I, our styles, what we were looking for, etc. She was SO much fun to work with the day of and was incredibly helpful. I highly recommend her and would gladly work with her again.
Beautiful work! Thank you Michelle!
Michelle: the-coolest-kindhearted-creative-smart-organized-honest hairdresser and bridal hair stylist. I came to Michelle first for a bridal hair trial and then a hair cut, Michelle was open to trying the styles I had in mind and when I would ask for her honest opinions, they were genuine. It is hard when most of the examples you see on sites are photoshopped or filtered. Michelle works with integrity and some spice (which is needed on the big day btw) and I looked forward to just seeing her! I was never anxious with her because I just knew she'd take care of things. Thank you Michelle for putting me first when that was the last thing I was trying to do on my wedding day. Oh and your fan came in a clutch.
The best wedding hairstylist!
My Disney hair wedding dreams were brought to life. I didn’t know we could do what we did with my hair, but Michelle made me have a Rapunzel inspired braid and I really felt like a princess on my wedding day. She helped during photos putting my veil in and out and eased my stress! She’s realistic and honest, professional and listens to what you want. On trial day and wedding day she was lively, fun, and made me feel like it was my day, and hyped me up when I needed it. I’m so happy Michelle was my hairstylist on my wedding day. She’s absolutely amazing.
Phenomenal woman!
This woman is just down right amazing. I couldn’t have picked a better hair stylist to be apart of my bridal team. She made everyone so comfortable and calm. All of our hair styles were stunning. Her professionalism and skills were definitely showcased as we had some timing issues in makeup- she totally took charge and got us all back on track with no tears, meltdowns or panics. She has become a forever friend and stylist for me and my 10000% go to gal for anything hair. There’s no one else I could ever recommend that would compare to her. I’m forever thankful to her, she made my day so incredibly special.
10/10 would recommend!

I really loved working with Michelle for my July 2024 wedding! Well worth the price! She listened to what I wanted and executed it so well, even with my bridesmaids! I really loved that we did a consultation and got to try out a few options before the big day. I definitely recommend working with Michelle if you’re getting married in the Seattle area!
Best Possible Experience!
Michelle was professional, personable, and very easy to work with. She did an AMAZING job not only with my (the bride) hair but with my mother, MIL, and bridesmaids hair as well. Can't recommend her enough!
