Michelle "Mimi" Lee

Michelle has been creating designing and styling for over 20 years. She is a self taught stylist out of Chicago, Illinois. Her father was a barber by trade and her mother was a professional stylist. The legacy of twisting and manipulating follicles into masterpieces has been passed down from the generation before her, and she also passes down the legacy to four women who were inspired by her. Natural Legacies is led by Michelle “MiMi” Lee and is encouraged and supported by her family and friends. Combined, there is over 30 years of experience in hair and styling.

It is Natural Legacies' goal to promote the beauty of natural styles, including but not limited to; Braiding Styles, Natural Curls, Box Braids, Cornrow Styles, Havana Twists, Senegalese Twists, Yarn Braids, Locs, Faux Locs, Loc Maintainence and more...

But the services don't stop at just hair. Natural Legacies offers head to toe styling, accessories, products which promote healthy skin and hair growth, and even afro-centric art pieces to accentuate the decorum of any room. The creative niche she has! As you can see in this pic to the left. Michelle is truly an avant garde artist with a personal touch. She can get you ready to face your regular 9-5 to the Paris runway.
