Michelle Wright, Luxe and Mane Salon

On this episode of The Founder Beat Podcast, we sit down with Michelle Wright of Luxe and Mane Salon. 

After initially considering a career in nursing, Michelle enrolled in beauty school shortly after moving to York and earned her cosmetology license. 

She worked for a handful of salons after graduation before opening her own shop in 2015. Business came to a halt in 2020 when the pandemic forced her to shut her doors, and a building fire later that year made her comeback all the more difficult. 

But her ambition and determination prevailed. Today, her business is growing, she's launched a product line, and she has big dreams for the future.
