Welcome to Hair by Michelle Sylvia

Nestled in the heart of historic Barnstable Village on Cape Cod, Michelle Sylvia is a master stylist and extension artist with her own private chair inside the beautiful St. James Salon North (3256 Main Street, Barnstable, MA).

Michelle is passionate about creating effortless, luxurious hair that looks and feels undeniably expensive. As a Certified Invisible Bead Extensions (IBE) Artist, hand-tied extensions and seamless, damage-free length are her true specialty. Every bead, every strand, and every detail is placed with precision—because with Michelle, every hair matters. She’s also certified in K-Tips and expertly combines methods for custom hybrid installs when needed. Exciting news: a brand-new extension technique is joining her repertoire in 2026! Integrative Mesh extensions and toppers will be added to her services.

When it comes to color, Michelle is a master colorist known for lived-in blondes, rich dimensional brunettes, sophisticated gray blending, and seamless gray transitions. Her signature approach delivers stunning, high-end results with minimal upkeep so you can enjoy your color longer between visits.

Clients travel from across state lines (and the bridge!) for Michelle’s chair, drawn not only to her technical mastery but to her warm, welcoming energy. Locals and visitors alike describe the experience as relaxing, fun, and transformative—because with Michelle, you’re not just getting your hair done, you’re treated like family.
