Hi, I’m Michelle McDevitt, also known as The Beauty Prophet, and I’ve spent the last 16 years immersing myself in the world of hair and makeup. Over the years, I’ve honed my craft with expertise in K-tips, wefts, curly cuts, hand painting, and special event makeup and hair, which has given me a unique perspective on beauty. I’ve had the privilege of being featured in magazines and showcasing my work at New York Fashion Week, which has truly been a dream come true.
For five years, I shared my passion for the industry as an educator, helping others to refine their skills and build their confidence. But when I made the decision to step away and pass on my salon in Redding, I knew I wanted to pursue something new in the vibrant city of Santa Monica. Now, I’m excited to be working one-on-one with clients, delivering that fashion-forward approach to beauty that I’m so passionate about.
Outside of work, you’ll find me exploring LA’s ever-evolving food scene with friends, taking peaceful walks with my Shih Tzus, Jake and Millie, or enjoying the energy of live music concerts. I believe beauty is not just about the exterior, it’s about feeling great inside and out.
Let’s work together to achieve the look you’ve always dreamed of! Whether it’s for a special event or a complete makeover, I’m here to make you feel as amazing as you look.

We’d love to see you anytime, but to ensure you get the royal treatment (and avoid a wait), we recommend booking ahead. After all, fabulousness deserves a scheduled moment to shine!
You can find us at 1431 Ocean Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90401, tucked away in the serene courtyard of the Pacific Plaza Santa Monica Apartments. While our salon isn’t visible from the street, a short stroll into the courtyard will reveal our inviting front door and our beautifully designed space on the first floor. It’s a hidden gem, just waiting for you to discover!
Absolutely! We offer complimentary 90-minute valet parking on-site for all our guests. Just look for the ramp on the side of the building leading down to the garage. Sit back, relax, and let us handle the parking while you focus on getting pampered!
Tipping at the salon is easy and always appreciated! You can leave a tip in cash or by credit card at checkout—whatever works best for you. Your stylist will thank you, the front desk will thank you, and most importantly, your hair will thank you!
