Hi, I’m Michaelann, the stylist behind Desert Mane Studio, proudly serving the Gilbert, Arizona community.

After years of struggling with fine, dull hair myself, I became passionate about creating seamless extensions and dimensional color that truly transform how you feel. My work is focused on soft, lived-in results that grow out beautifully and feel effortless in your everyday life.

With over 14 years behind the chair, I specialize in low-maintenance color, lived-in brunettes, and hand-tied extensions. I regularly invest in continued education and travel to stay inspired and bring the most current techniques back to my clients.

I believe your hair should fit into your lifestyle, not the other way around. Every appointment is designed to feel intentional, relaxed, and personalized, while creating a long-term plan so your hair looks just as good weeks later as it does the day you leave.

When I’m not in the salon, you can find me at Pilates, thrifting for hidden gems, planning my next adventure, or spending time with my dogs, Roman and Molly. I love to cook, gather with friends, and explore the best spots around Arizona.

If you’re ready for effortless, elevated hair that feels like you, I can’t wait to have you in my chair.
