Hair Around Chilliwack - Part 1

We are doing a new feature here on Around Chilliwack: highlighting some of the great hair stylists and barbers in our city.

Meet Chris Franklin from Michael’s on Main

Part of why we love Chris is that she’s so generous and kind. We asked her to do a write up about her and her store; not once did she mention herself. She’s a treasure in our community.

“Michael’s on Main hair & nail studio has been around a long time... 72 years now in the very same spot on Main Street... that’s A LOT of hair & nails being transformed! Not only are they happy to accept clients that may be new to town, or maybe someone is needing a change, a new look, a fresh set of eyes on the hair that doesn’t seem to want to do anything for them, but they also have some loyal clients who have been with Michael’s for over 50 years! It’s clear to see that each stylist loves what they do, whether it’s precision cuts, funky styles, men’s hair, corrective colour, straightening, foils, balayage, and yes, even perms are making a bit of a comeback! Their nail technician, Rose, has been perfecting her craft for over 30 years & she still loves to give advice & make everyone laugh to this day. Michael’s believes wholeheartedly in giving back to the community they serve so help support the Crystal Gala (raising money for the Crystal Gala Breast Health Unit at Abbotsford Regional Hospital that services the Fraser Valley); Chilliwack Community Cupboard (gives food, clothing, housewares, school supplies etc to families with school age children in need); Chilliwack Bowls of Hope (feeding children who may not have access to healthy food); Children’s Hospital; Chilliwack Hospice; Wilma’s Transition Society; Pearl Society; and Chilliwack Giants Youth Football to name a few. They’re award winning, including a Hairdresser of the Year, once upon a time! The team at Michael’s want to make everyone who walks through their door feel like they’ve dropped in for a great visit with people who care about them & happened to leave with some awesome hair or nails!”
