connected to the community michelle calls home

michelle opened arbor hair studio in 2017 after realizing that the harsh chemicals in traditional salons were affecting her health. through years of research, she discovered safer, more effective alternatives that deliver high-end results without the risk. she became the first green circle salon in central minnesota, recycling hair, foils, and everything else she could to minimize environmental impact.

after growing arbor hair + spa into a 6,500 square foot salon and spa in waite park, michelle knew it was time to bring that same philosophy to st. joseph. the tree-lined streets, the local parks, and the warmth of the people here made it the perfect place to expand.
