About me
Michelle J Riera
I’m a bilingual master colorist and stylist with over 25 years of experience in high-end salon environments across the U.S. and now Chile. Originally from Miami, I founded Blonde—a luxury salon and spa in La Dehesa, Santiago—offering expert blonding, custom color, and advanced hair artistry.
My approach blends technical mastery with creativity and precision. I specialize in transformative lightening services, color correction, and innovative techniques like teasy lights, foliage, and balayage. Whether you’re going platinum or rich brunette, I believe every shade should feel intentional and personal.
Blonde is more than a salon—it’s a space for elevated beauty, education, and artistry. I’m proud to bring American standards of excellence to the Chilean market, offering bilingual service, a warm environment, and results that speak for themselves.
Education
Why I'm here
I’m here to share what I’ve learned—to elevate others through education, artistry, and real-world salon experience. After decades behind the chair, I know the power of knowledge, mentorship, and mastering your craft. I didn’t open Blonde just to do hair—I opened it to teach, inspire, and help stylists in Chile reach global standards of excellence. Education is how we evolve as artists, and I’m ready to give back.
