He is  able to advise and respond to each client individually. A high degree of empathy and the ability to abstract and implement important details of the customer characterise his work, while always keeping his finger on the pulse. In doing so, he often exceeds the client's expectations. His passion for hair has developed parallel, Michael is a perfectionist and combines both parts to create a perfectly matched image.
