Michael Casey
Known among celebrities, socialites, as well as beauty and fashion editors for his outstanding ability to create the perfect customized hair color, Michael Casey is at the apex of his career. Having been awarded New York Magazine's coveted "best colorist" award and named Master of the "Park Avenue Blonde" by Allure magazine, Michael joins Sally Hershberger Downtown after years of honing his craft in some of the world's most noteworthy salons.
Michael's work has been highlighted in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, as well as on stage (Broadway and in London's West End), television and in feature films. Attracting a clientele that reaches the upper echelons of New York society, Michael also travels to Boston, Miami and Texas several times a year to work with long standing clients. His celebrity roster includes Penelope Cruz, Gweneth Paltrow, Diana Krall, Viggo Mortenson, Michael Douglas and Bernadette Peters.
His sources of inspiration are an eclectic mix that includes Impressionist art and the Technicolor films of the 1940's and 1950's - reflective of Michael's exceptional range in color creativity from the sophisticated classics to tones that test the traditional. While his ability to develop the ideal blonde is well documented, Michael's talent truly lies in creating a full range of custom, individualized colors perfectly suited to each client's overall look and lifestyle.
