HI, I'm Mickey

Mickey’s career started over 30 years ago in Florida and moved north to Washington, DC, in 1991. Clients include prominent men and women working in the halls of Congress, the various executive branches, K Street, entertainment, and long-time residents of Capitol Hill. Mickey has a loyal following of clientele who appreciate his exceptional skills, personal service, and zest for life.

In addition to working with clients, Mickey is an award-winning educator, having trained other hairstylists in the latest cutting, styling, and coloring techniques. His work has been featured in several nationally televised special events.

Especially meaningful to Mickey are the Best of DC awards that the Salon has been winning since 2010 because these can only be achieved when clients and the public vote for their favorites. In 2022, Mickey won Best Hair Stylist in DC, and Michael Anthony Salon won Best Hair Salon in DC, in Washington City Paper’s Best of DC Readers Poll, for the 13th straight year of winning recognition among the top three salons in the entire DC metro region.

As a dedicated salon owner in the heart of DC, he has had the privilege of serving his loyal clientele for many years. While his heart remains deeply connected to his business and the community he's built, he's excited to embark on a new chapter in his life. He's working towards becoming a full-time resident of Western Massachusetts, a place that offers a serene and inspiring environment. 

To ensure a smooth transition and continued service to his valued clients, he's carefully planned a balanced approach. He'll continue to split his time between DC and Western Massachusetts, allowing him to maintain the high-quality service and personalized attention his clients have come to expect. The decision to relocate to Amherst was driven by a combination of family considerations and educational aspirations for his son. As his mother-in-law ages in place, the desire to be closer and offer support became increasingly important. Simultaneously, Amherst's highly regarded school system presented an ideal learning environment for his son to thrive. The convergence of these factors made Amherst the perfect place to establish his new home, allowing him to balance family responsibilities with his commitment to providing his son with the best possible educational opportunities.
