Lindsey Michele @righteous_linds
Hey guys! My name is Lindsey and I live here in The Dalles! A little about me and my vision:
Born and raised in California. I grew up all over, but have many memories living in the Mountains in Lake Arrowhead. I love being around the outdoors, nature and change of seasons. I have always wanted to explore the Pacific Northwest and all of its beauty!
Before hair, I had received a Studio Arts degree and Makeup Artistry Certification. I was working as a Freelance Make-up Artist for clients, vendors/events and editorial photography. I started going to school for Cosmetology and Barbering. I have now been in this industry for 11 years! I have since worked at some very special and established Barbershops and Salons.
Before I moved to the PNW, I had grown my clientele back home. I had received the opportunity to work at a barbershop in Hood River. With much support back home, my boyfriend and I moved to Oregon permanently. We immediately set up permanent roots here in The Dalles.
I enjoy diverse, unique styles and specialize in clean and classic cuts, tapers and razor fades. I’ve gained the most valuable knowledge and experience, learning directly behind the chair and from my peers in this industry!
The inspiration of the decor for this shop comes from my own personal style and inspiration from friends and music! The vibe of this shop is influenced from the Traditional Barbershop and a vintage experience. My goals are to reinvent the tradition of going to the barbershop! Where neighbors, friends and family can relax and receive a genuine and honest service!
My hobbies include exploring everything that Oregon has to offer, cuddling with my puppies, punk rock, Bruce Springsteen, and listening to true crime podcasts!
Opening this barbershop has been the best decision I have ever made. Thank you so much for your interest! I have so many plans! Stay tuned and thank you for your support!
