Shell Ireland
Owner
I graduated from Redwood Empire Beauty College in 1988 and immediately began my career as a hair artist. Thirty-two years later and I still love the art of hair. My favorite aspect of hair is the diversity every person brings me. I am experienced with all hair types and I specialize in color, short hair styles, and curly hair. I love using my knowledge and understanding to showcase what curly hair is capable of.
I believe that an amazing haircut starts with communication. When you sit in my chair, you can expect me to listen to your needs, and ask questions. The art of hair is about merging individual expression with contemporary style. We will work together to bring out your “you“.
So no matter the human, I up to the challenge of helping others feel good about themselves.
What People Are Saying
“The whole visit felt pampering. Shell precedes each cut with a short head/scalp massage - blissful! Lovely Aveda shampoo is used. She took her time with my hair cut, and with the drying as well. I left feeling joyful, and like a new woman.”
— Sue S
“Shell was professional, very warm, intelligent and no drama. Shop is in a quaint old space. She gave me a great haircut (I have curly hair), and I love the blond highlights! The price was more than fair. I will definitely be going back.”
— Linda T
“Shell (Michelle Ireland) is one of the original women who has owned the shop since it opened. She has been cutting and coloring my hair since I was in 8th grade….I highly recommend her, especially for women with curly hair.”
