The
Legacy
Continues...

Since 1957 on Madison Avenue New York, under George Michael‘s creation and direction and Maria “Madora” Matarazzo‘s continuation at the helm… The flag ship falls to Jessie Martinez who continues the legacy of the original George Michael Long Hair System. We were all saddened to learn of the closure in June 2021 of this beloved landmark of beauty after 65 years on Madison Avenue in New York City.

The mantle will be taken up by the George Michael Long Hair Salon in Beverly Hills California, run by Jessie Martinez who joined George Michael on Madison Avenue in 1979 and brought the George Michael Long Hair system to Los Angeles in 1985. She has continued to expand and grow to the current location at 328 South Beverly Dr. in Beverly Hills California.

The George Michael Long Hair Salon in Beverly Hills has continued to provide all the long hair services the many clients know and love and has been able to bring the original George Michael Long Hair Products into production with an updated look, modern and clear information and product directions. The salon has now expanded services to include Velashape lll Body Treatment and European style facials and manicure services (coming soon).

The George Michael System

George Michael Long Hair Salon in Beverly Hills has specialized in long hair since 1985 when Jessie Martinez brought the Long Hair System to the West Coast. The first salon on Madison Avenue in New York City originated with George Michael himself in 1957. 
This system has and continues to get great results for all women and men who desire healthier, stronger, thicker, and longer hair. Our uniqueness and success has continued for over 65 years. We trim down all the unnecessary hair habits to create individual programs for each client based on the long hair legacy George Michael curated and applied.
Jessie and the George Michael Long Hair Salon have consistently applied these techniques to this day. It works! Many followers continue to utilize what they have learned from us and are still devoted to our luxurious hair care products.
