    Michele

    Salon Owner

    I have had a lifelong passion for the hair and beauty industry and couldn’t be prouder to be the owner of I Design Salon Blow Dry Bar! I grew up in DuPage County, and I’m a proud wife of 24 years to my fabulous husband Dean and mother to my awesome children, Marissa and Anthony. I live in Hinsdale, and while I have dedicated my life to raising our children and supporting our family, I have found time to dabble in different projects including party planning, rehabbing homes and charitable work. I am a licensed cosmetologist by background and have been a client of I Design for 20 years. I will be an energetic and hands-on owner of this incredible, boutique salon, and I look forward to meeting all of our wonderful guests and taking I Design to the next level.
