Mikey Denton dove head first into hair in 2009 at Phagans School of Beauty in Portland, Oregon after spending time in the music scene as a tour manager. Mikey quickly discovered that he had a passion and talent for hair design and hoped to someday focus on education and platform work. Graduating in April of 2011, he started apprenticing that next week under Chachi Tuy and Rhonda Holdaway, who were both Redken educators at the time. There they taught him advanced razor and scissor techniques and focused mainly on color. Mikey discovered during his apprenticeship that cutting short hair, specifically mens hair, came very naturally to him and he really enjoyed it because he was able to get creative and have fun with it.

Mikey is a hairstylist and former educator for the Loreal brand Baxter of California, Summit Academy in Portland, Oregon, and R+Co. He started working at a barbershop in Portland in 2012 and met his wife Kendelle. In 2015, they opened their own salon that carried high-end products and Mikey became an educator for Baxter of California. He has taught all over the United States and Australia and has a passion for scissor and clipper techniques and styling. Currently, Mikey works as a hairstylist at The Parker House Salon in Franklin Tennessee. Also, works as a salesman for Travis Parker Academy, PR for Editbutter Studios and an ambassador for Kimiko
