In 2016, inspired by his vision, Mickey opened his own salon with one goal: “I want a salon where no matter who walks in, they feel seen, valued, and beautifully served.” Over his career, Mickey has been extensively trained by master stylists in the Bay Area, mastering every aspect of healthy haircare and growth.
Beyond his craft, Mickey is celebrated for his custom, natural-looking wigs and transformative consultations. As a mentor to emerging stylists, he instills the importance of professionalism and standing out by delivering an exceptional hair experience. As he often says, “Anybody can do hair, but can you teach someone how to care for it and help it grow?”
For Mickey, it’s about more than styling — it’s about education, empowerment, and delivering a luxury experience tailored to each client’s unique hair journey.
Mickey Carter began his journey in the hair industry in the early 1990s, later attending Laney College where he earned his cosmetology license in 2007. His passion for excellence and knowledge didn’t stop there .
