It was late, we were both exhausted, and she had an early flight to catch… but we made it happen. ✨

I was a little nervous about styling her natural hair for this look, but seeing it all come together reminded me to trust the process. She wore it effortlessly, and the final result was everything I hoped it would be.

absolutely SLAYED. 🤎🔥

This week!! RSVP at Braidsbynikki.com

🗣️And another one!!! Happy birthday to meeee! 🥳🥳

This picture doesn’t show the 6am call time.
Or the 10+ hour days.
Or the heat. Or the pressure.

It doesn’t show trying to keep production happy, the cast happy… and still make sure every single detail is right.

But THIS moment right here?
This is a continuity check.

Everybody: “It’s just hair”
Me: studying one strand like it’s life or death 😭

Because one wrong detail… and we all going back.

And in moments like this, everything pauses… and it’s on YOU to get it right.

I’m not even gonna lie—last week stretched me.
I’ve been tired. Overwhelmed. Questioning myself a little more than I’d like to admit.

But I’m still here.
Still showing up.
Still learning.
Still growing.

And that means something.

Welcome to my new normal 🎬💜

Big career moment. 🎬

I’m honored to share that I’ve been hired as the Head of Hair Department for an upcoming feature film.

Because I’ll be working on set, I will be unavailable Monday–Friday from April 8 – April 29 and will have limited weekend availability during that time.

If you need an appointment, please book accordingly.

Thank you all for continuing to support my journey. From the salon to the film set… we’re leveling up.
