Meet The Founder & CEO

Meet the Boss Lady

AKA MICHAELLA BLISSETT WILLIAMS

Michaella Blissett Williams is the visionary behind [salon]718. The need for a Brooklyn upscale hair salon was evident by the mid-2000s, and Michaella responded. Started in the basement of her brownstone in Brooklyn as a two-chair studio, [salon]718 quickly expanded into 7 locations and is still growing.

Michaella is driven by her connection to diverse and eclectic Brooklyn; no wonder this city within a city has become the heart of [salon]718. Being an avid learner, Michaella promotes growth and education with her team. She’s a Goldman Sachs 10000 Small Business alumnus & is currently a protégé of their co-mentoring program with Bloomberg. The senior-level Goldman Sachs and Bloomberg advisors have further filtered Michaella’s vision into operational execution to grow [salon]718 in the future.

“We aspire to be experts & educators within our industry and spread the message that beauty is inclusive.”
