Michel
Owner | Business Director
Michel was born in the Eastern Township of Quebec, known for its nature, culture, and vineyards. He has always found inspiration in the arts, fashion, and performance. It is this passion that quickly led him to Montreal, where he would discover the life changing opportunity to travel the world with Cirque du Soleil. For thirteen years, Michel nurtured his excitement for being part of an artistic touring team, bringing together everyone’s strengths, to share with audiences a magical experience. In 2001, Michel arrived in Philadelphia for the first time with the Dralion tour. He immediately fell in love with the city, and its culinary and artistic offerings. Fast forward to 2007, Michel contributed his skill and vision to breathe life into NoëlSy - Art in Beauty. He continuously strives to create a personable, detailed guest experience that is the signature of Noël Sy. He also strives to nurture and build a creative team that is founded in collaboration and service. In his free time, Michel reads French comics, takes long walks in nature, and enjoys cuisines from around the world. Michel’s heart belongs to his three daughters. Simone. Frankie, and Minou.

Betty
Owner | Master Colorist
Betty is Chinese born, immigrating originally to New York from Hong Kong with her parents and eight siblings. She has been a hair colorist for 28 years. After being exposed to the beauty and fashion world, and inspired by many art influences, Betty knew she needed to be in the hair community. Ever since she was a young girl, she had a passion and love for all things beauty and fashion. She thrives on creating new looks, envisioning ideas, and bringing them to life in her color work. Each new guest she works on brings a unique opportunity to fabricate a custom concept, involving dimension, movement, and depth. Her approach is that of a painter. Light and texture are her muses. Her work reflects her care and honesty, and integrity of the hair is her utmost priority. Her work is instinctive. She offers a unique and personalized perspective to each guest. In her own words, Individualism is Key. Her signature is bold and characteristic. Above all, Betty finds sharing her knowledge and experience most rewarding, educating others in the industry in her well-practiced techniques. Her dream of building community was realized when she joined forces to forge NoëlSy into existence. Betty thrives on positive energy and expression. To keep inspired, she enjoys travel, live music, hiking, vineyards, and of course, date nights with her son, Jaden. Her indulgence is anything spa. We as Us… these are the words that Betty lives by.
Traviss
Owner | Master Stylist
Traviss was born in London but spent most of his early childhood in Thailand and Saudi Arabia. He discovered the salon world at nineteen years old when he moved to Philadelphia to pursue photography at University of the Arts. With a focus on fashion and no formal training, he began experimenting with hair styling for his own photography. This began his love affair with all the possibilities of creativity, using hair as the canvas. For the next 12 years, he honed his craft and developed his signature, organic cutting style. Then, an unexpected shift changed his trajectory, and he made the decision to join Cirque du Soleil and tour for the next two years. This time on the road was filled with inspiration and life experience. Returning to Philadelphia with new perspectives and expanded dreams, he committed to becoming part of the NoëlSy vision. His work is soft, feminine, and lived in and he loves creating looks that are textural, modern, and personalized. Traviss is most excited when he works collaboratively, including others in the creative process. His ambition is to always keep the salon environment inclusive, rather than exclusive. This is how beauty is best achieved. He believes that when people have good hair days, they are empowered to do good, and this is how haircuts make the world a better place.

Cindi
Senior Colorist | Keratin Specialist
Cindi is Philly born and raised and has proudly been in the hair industry for thirty years. It all began with her grandmother, who had long., beautiful hair and Cindi would tirelessly brush and style it for church. Using the hair as her canvas for her color formulations is where she finds her joy, as well as the relationships and connections she develops behind the chair. Her favorite technique is foiling the hair to create depth and contrast. All you redheads listen up… she has a special place in her colorist heart for you! Cindi also has a reputation for her impeccable keratin applications. She finds so much inspiration in her team here at NoëlSy, and also in her daughter, Lita, who is a stylist barber.

Irene
Senior Stylist
Irene’s beauty career began in Dnipro, Ukraine where her grandfather was a hairdresser and she started doing hair at the age of 16. She enjoys working on all hair types, creating looks for both men and women. She hones her craft everyday behind the chair and finds her inspiration in the fashion world. Textural cutting is something that comes very natural to her. Did you know perms are back? No, really. Ask Irene about her perming skills. A delicious glass (or two) of Malbec makes her happy, and she splits her beach time between Miami and Ventnor. She’s been spotted dining out with her yorkie Gigi, who she gladly shares her burger with.

Transforming someone’s bad day into one they can feel good about is what Frances loves to do. And she does this by creating beautiful hair behind the chair here at NoëlSy.

Her artistry is far reaching with specialties including bridal hair, up styles, extensions, and curly hair. Jewelry making and piano playing are other outlets for her expressiveness. Frances is unafraid to use herself as the canvas, and like a chameleon, changes her own hair color over and over again. “Do something outside yourself, something that makes life a little better for people less fortunate than you”. A philosophy Frances subscribes to. Get to know her better at @hairbyfranny
David
Senior Stylist | Colorist
Interestingly, David began his professional career as an environmental/chemical engineer. But you never know where life will lead you! His curiosity for the beauty industry was sparked by a friend who was an educator for Rusk. It was when this friend promised to hire and teach David upon his graduation from cosmetology school that his decision was made. The freedom that the hair industry provides is what he thrives on. Architecture. Nature. Art. All are amazing sources of inspiration for David. His primary motivation? His fellow teammates at NoëlSy, and the excitement of seeing them use new, advanced techniques. In his heart, David is an outdoorsman, and it’s in the vastness of Nature that his happiness lives. Have you ever heard of an Elkabea? David has one. It’s his Elkhound and beagle mix! Anyone who knows David knows how much he loves food (he’s eaten 12 tacos in one sitting). We’re all still trying to figure out how he maintains those abs of his… “If you’re going to be a bear, be a grizzly.” David’s favorite quote. He also believes in giving everything into anything that you do. Anyone who’s sat in his chair knows this to be true. Get to know him better @david_noelsy

An
Junior Stylist | Colorist
Born in Vietnam, An moved to Philadelphia at the age of 3 with his father. He was quickly taken in by a woman named Miriam, who he affectionately refers to as his Jewish grandmother. Miriam was instrumental in emigrating his mother and sister three years later. It was in high school when An began cutting his friends hair in the basement. After earning an associate's degree, but feeling uninspired, he was encouraged to pursue hair by a girlfriend who recognized his passion. At 20, he began working at various reputable salons in the Philadelphia area and by 26, he was recognized by Philadelphia Magazine as offering the Best Blowout. He is driven by the client connection, and creating positive self-image for each of his guests. Travel and reconnecting with his Vietnamese family and culture makes him happy. His bucket list destination is Hokkaido, Japan. Work Hard, Play Hard. This is An’s philosophy for balanced living. Out of the salon, he enjoys snowboarding, bike rides in nature, and rooting for his favorite Philly sports teams. In his words, he bleeds green. Fly Eagles Fly!
Mark

When it comes to culinary delights, Mark's palate is as diverse as his artistic influences, with favorites ranging from lobster and oysters to strawberry shortcake and tiramisu. Little wonder his favorite destination is his own kitchen!
Beyond the salon, Mark has a soft spot for furry critters and proudly plays the role of hamster dad to Ms. Henny. Specializing in blow-drying and styling, particularly with natural hair textures, Mark brings a blend of creativity and culinary flair to both his professional and personal endeavors.
