About me
Born in Hollywood in the summer of 62, Michael David Gallego had his mind set on beauty at an early age.  As the son of the town barber, he started sweeping hair at age seven in his father's barber shop.

In addition to growing up in the beauty industry, Michael was also raised by a musical family.  While spending fifteen years in the music business, Michael developed his eye for fashion, beauty and make-up.  The transition from music to beauty was easy for Michael, and he quickly developed a very loyal clientele base.  Clients are drawn to Michael's rock star persona.  Working with expert hairdressers, Michael has mastered the art of beauty.

As a graduate of the International Academy of Cosmetology, Michael has trained with the industry's top professionals.  Michael is always looking to perfect his craft such as studying with Toni & Guy, Loreal Professionnel, and others.  By keeping up to date with all the new styles and techniques, Michael is able to give his clients a fashionable look that suits their needs.  He has produced many photo shoots and fashion shows and has been seen in publications such as Salon City, Ladies Home Journal and Stylist Magazine.  In addition, Michael has done key make-up and hair for films and
television.

Michael David Gallego is a true visionary with a passion for beauty which is why he is known as the image inventor.

Hey Michael,

It's been a long while since I've seen or heard from ya buddy! Have the baby yet? :D

Anyways, as you are on my MM Friend's List, and you live in or around LA and OC, I am writing you to personally invite you to my Halloween Bash 5! This year, it is being held on the day before Halloween, on Friday, Oct. 30th at my studio Pinnacle Design Center in San Gabriel (just 15 minutes East of downtown LA). See my profile page for the party's official invitation!

FYI, there are usually from 100 to 400 people who show up! There will be a good number of models, photographers, and make-up artists in attendance! Plan now, to be one of them!?! Leave me a tag or PM if you're planning on being there.

Best,


Steve Trapero (aka DJ Dr. StEvil)

Would you be available for...
A photo shoot today- it's a very simple shoot, the model #1274032 is very fair and just wants Disney type makeup and her hair done straight. It should produce some pretty cool photos. Good for portfolio. I'm supposed to be doing the makeup for the Alice in wonderland photo shoot today but I woke up very sick so I am trying to find someone to cover for me. Message me or call me asap if interested! I was supposed to do it for free but we can discuss some compensation I just really don't feel like I could give my best today.
You would have to be at 1545 marine ave, Gardena, ca 90247 a little before 4 or no later than 4. Thanks so much! (714) 408-0871

Hey Michael,

So sorry I've been off the radar! Been extremely busy, have thought about calling you, texting you, or emailing you a dozen times since our last shoot! Extremely busy is a bit of an understatement my friend!?! Crazy busy is more like it!?!

Anyways, the shoot with Daphne turned out great! We actually ended up shooting the 2nd look on our neighbor's roof top, not ours, but next door, so it would not be the same feel as Naomi's shoot. Turned out really well, as usual! =)

Talk to you soon!
