Hair by Nicole

The holidays feel far away… until suddenly they’re not. 😂🎃🦃🎄🥂

If you already know you want fresh color, highlights, a cut, or just a really good hair day before your holiday plans, now is the time to get those appointments on the calendar.

Holiday weeks are always some of my busiest behind the chair, and the most popular times tend to disappear first. 🤍

So consider this your friendly reminder to pre-book now and save yourself the December “Nicole, do you have ANYTHING?!” text. 😂

New here? Hi. 👋🤍

Here’s the quick version: I love blonding, dimensional color, grey coverage and dry cutting, but more than anything, I want your hair to actually work for you.

My chair is relaxed. Talk my ear off, bring your book, answer emails, sit quietly… whatever kind of appointment you need that day is completely fine with me.

Good hair, good conversation (if you want it 😂), and no stuffy salon energy.

New here? Hi. 👋🩷

Here’s the short version of what you can expect around here:

I specialize in blonding, dimensional color and dry cutting, but I’m much more interested in figuring out what works for your hair than putting everyone into the same category.

Appointments are relaxed. We can talk, laugh, catch up on life, sit quietly, or apparently I can just talk to an empty chair if you don’t show up. 😂

You’ll see plenty of hair around here, some simple hair education, things I’m loving behind the chair and probably more salon nonsense than necessary.

Basically: good hair without taking ourselves too seriously.

If that sounds like your kind of salon appointment, welcome. 🩷

New color line. Same stylist standing at the color bar thinking entirely too hard about three grams of color. 😂🧪

As we transition to Duomo Professional Color at Mystique, some of the formulas I’ve used for years are going to look completely different behind the scenes.

And that's actually the fun part.

Professional color lines aren't interchangeable. Different shades, numbering systems and formulations mean I’m learning how Duomo behaves and figuring out how to translate what I already know about **your hair** into a new color system.

So if you've been sitting in my chair for years and know your old formula by heart, don't panic when you see me mixing something different.

I'm still considering your starting level, previous color, underlying pigment, porosity, gray coverage, desired result and how much maintenance you actually want to do at home.

Basically, all the things I've always overthought. 😂

The numbers in your formula may change.

The customized approach to your color won't. 🤍
