Michael & Guy

Michael & Guy is a hair salon in the middle of Valletta, Malta's walled capital, and it combines everyday hairdressing with a speciality that few salons offer: wigs and hairstyling for the theatre. Visitors and residents alike can book a cut, a colour or styling for a wedding or formal event, in a friendly, clean salon.

The salon is listed in our directory of hairdressers in Malta. It stands at 201B Old Bakery Street, a short walk from the sights of the old city, so an appointment fits easily into a day of sightseeing.

Haircuts and styling

The haircutting service starts with a consultation, so the stylist understands what you want before a single snip. From there it moves to a precise cut and personalised styling designed to suit your look and personality. The stylists are trained in current trends and techniques, and the team can handle anything from a classic cut to a bold new style.

For a UK visitor, a local salon is a handy back-up if hair has taken a battering from sun, sea and salt water, or if a trip calls for a smarter look. If you are new to the island and looking for a regular hairdresser, our Malta relocation guide covers the wider business of settling in, from services to everyday life.

Colouring and products

Colour is the second main service. The range runs from subtle highlights to dramatic transformations, with a wide choice of shades and professional techniques aimed at a vibrant, stylish finish. The colourists use high-quality products chosen to complement your own style and natural features.

Products matter to the salon. It uses sustainable and eco-friendly products where possible and works with brands including Wella, Balmain and Olaplex. If you have a preference or a sensitivity, raise it when you book, so the salon can plan your appointment around it.

Another salon in the same part of the city is AMIS City Spa, Beauty & Hair Salon, which is also in our hairdressers listings if you want to compare options.

Weddings, events and special occasions

Michael & Guy offers styling for weddings and formal events, aiming for a look that lasts all day. This is useful for couples marrying in Malta, since hair is one of the details that is easiest to arrange locally. Many British couples choose Valletta for ceremonies and photographs, and our Valletta guide explains the city's layout, its history and the best times to visit.

Wedding photographers and florists can be found in the directory too. You might look at AldoPics photography studio for photography and Alistair Floral Design for flowers, then tie everything together with a hair appointment on the morning.

Theatre hairstyling and handmade wigs

What sets the salon apart is its theatre work. It is one of the leading salons for theatre hairstyling on the island and has a section dedicated to productions of all kinds, covering wig styling and handmade full lace wigs. These wigs are made by hand for a natural appearance and a comfortable fit, and they suit both theatre professionals and private customers who want a wig for a special event.

When you have time between appointments, the Upper Barrakka Gardens, St John's Co-Cathedral and our Knights of Malta guide show what makes the city special, while the things to do in Malta page lists more ideas for the rest of your stay.

Booking an appointment

Appointments can be made by telephone or through the salon's online booking system. The website does not give a price list, so ask for guidance when you book, particularly for colour work or wigs, where the cost will depend on what you need.
