Defying social expectations and family pressure to become a lawyer, Milos pursued his dream, opening his first salon at just 17. Under the professional name “Michel,” he built a reputation for creating unique, transformative styles inspired by music, fashion, and personal expression.

His path took him across Europe and the U.S., facing personal struggles with identity and acceptance, especially as a gay man in conservative societies. Eventually settling in Budapest, he opened the MMhair Studio and became a Schwarzkopf brand ambassador and today for the Authentic Beauty Concept as well.

His first book, Fear of Myself, is a testament to resilience, creativity, and the courage to be oneself.
