Michelle Sanders
Fun, Organized & Connector
I’m Michelle Sanders, and my passion as a hairstylist is to enhance your natural beauty while empowering you with the knowledge to maintain your look long after you leave my chair. Education is at the heart of everything I do—I’m constantly training, investing in advanced color programs, and working hands-on with mentors to bring the most elevated techniques to your experience.
After 20 years of working in Brentwood and Santa Monica, I relocated my career during the pandemic to a private studio in El Segundo/Manhattan Beach to be closer to home and more connected to my community. That choice shaped the foundation of Lumiere Luxe: a welcoming, judgment-free space where your lifestyle matters just as much as the hair we create together.
Outside the salon, I’m a busy mom of two, an active PTA board member, Girl Scout Troop leader and always immersed in supporting our local schools and community events. When I carve out a little “me time,” you’ll usually find me with my earbuds in—gardening & hanging outside with our 2 chickens, organizing the house, or taking long walks with our sweet fur baby, Max.
I can’t wait to welcome you into my space and help you discover a look that feels effortless, elevated, and truly you.
