.211 Michael Geovanni Uriarte
I realized fairly quickly that I could talk with Michael for hours on end. He has a special approachable energy about him that gives you such ease and comfort almost instantly. What’s bonkers to me is that he can maintain a wonderful conversation while completely revolutionizing your hair, all with his fabulous smile and even better stories.
Over the course of the nearly two years that Michael styled my hair, I came to look forward to the haircuts, yes, but much more so for the conversation and good vibes I would feel each time I sat in his chair. He is truly a bright ray of positive light that is so enjoyable to see and experience, and I appreciated so much the way that chatting with him was so fluid and a mental escape from anything I was feeling. He’s deeply kind and compassionate and his hot takes on the world, mixed with the banter of those styling next to him, were more than enough to keep me laughing for days and days. Michael is truly just good people, and I’m grateful to be friends with him still.
Michael, thank you so much for being such a lovely human. Thank you for your respect and empathy and for always making me laugh. Thank you for your incredible talents and diligence and for always being open and honest with me. Thank you, Michael, for being you!
