Everyone in the greater Seattle area who knows me refers to me and or my business as Braids by Michelle. And while I am still Michelle and yes I still do braids; the next chapter in my life has a bigger goal and a larger purpose. Along my journey a few young ladies and even some young men have taken interest in the hair industry based on my influence and encouragement. And now my focus is to open a shop and pass this legacy down to my protégés. My mother was a stylist, and my father was a barber. As a stylist myself my focus has always been natural hair. As I was handed down a legacy from generations before me, I continue to pass the torch to generations after me. So naturally; the next generation of stylists and I are the Natural Legacy.
