hair that lives between the lines

My love for hair began over a decade ago. Since then, I've not only become a certified colorist but also a Redken artist and educator, and currently educate with Alfaparf Milano. My heart lives for all things hair color (specifically blonding of all shades) and design!
I don't believe in "one service fits all", and there is no such thing as "just a partial foil". Every step in your hair journey is deliberate and detail-oriented. From tiny tweaks at each appointment, to planning the perfect wedding day color months in advance. I believe that your hair should evolve with your seasons of life. Whether it's your soft era or villain era.... I want to give you the hair that will let the world know.
Details? They're my playground. Get ready to be bombarded with questions - I'm on a mission to make you love your hair. Treatments? Expect them all. Product recommendations? Buckle up buttercup, we're going shopping!
Not a 'hair person'? That's ok, I'm here to break it down and make this part of life easy for you!
in my own words
SERVICES & PRICING
I never expect you to know what services you actually need... You can leave that work to me.
An hourly rate allows me to give you the services you need in a dedicated time frame. If I think we need more time, I'll let you know! No surprises at checkout; the time booked is the time you pay for, unless we go over or under. Need that deep treatment or a trim? It's included in the rate. Should we use more product than expected, it's typically a $5-10/hr price adjustment that you'll know about before we start. Sticker shock isn't my vibe.
Single Process/ All Over Color
Rich brunettes. Vibrant reds. Seamless gray coverage or a root touch up and a glaze to refresh your color?
If you know what you like, and you like to keep it simple. You live here!
FYI simple isn't boring!
HAIRCUTTING
$100/hr
A trim or chop? This includes a shampoo and blow-dry. If you have extremely thick, dense hair, let me know. We may need extra time.
Thinking about color but unsure? Let's use a haircut as an opportunity to deep dive into what you're looking for and get to know each other.
$110/hr
Color CORRECTION/ Transformation
Decided you want switch from blonde to brunette? Vice-versa? Maybe become a red head? Achieve that platinum card? Fixing a questionable DIY moment or just had a tragic salon experience? Keep calm, you live here!
You won't be able to book this service without a consultation first. We could be potentially spending a lot of time and money together, so lets make sure we have the same goals!
Blonding/ Dimensional Color
$135/hr
Foils. Balayage. Highlights. Lowlights. Teasy-lights. Toner. Root melt. These all fall under blonding and dimensional color and most my guests live here!
If you're considering anything I mentioned above, you live here.
$150/hr
Unless I've prescribed specific products for you or a hair care routine prior to your appointment, you only need to come in with clean dry hair, and bring 2-3 pics of your favorite hair inspiration.
Should I do anything to prepare before my appointment?
I always make a recommendation based on your personal style and preferences. Many of my blonding guests go between 8 and 14 weeks, but some stretch it as far as 6 months.
How often should I come in for hair color?
Yes! Yes you do. If there are scalp or hair health concerns, using the appropriate products will help solve these issues faster. If you want to go longer between appointments having the right tools to maintain the vibrancy of color and health of your hair will allow you to do so.
Do I really need professional hair care?
I recommend a minimum of 3 hours for your first blonding session with me. That allows us to hash out details and make any adjustments needed. If that's not enough time I'll always walk you through what we can do in that time frame and guide you on how to book your next visit, or book it for you!
What if I don't book enough time for my first appointment?
So many of us don't, and that's why I specialize in gorgeous hair that is low maintenance!
FOR NEW CLIENTS: You will initially need to commit to a longer appointment to achieve your desired color, but once we get on a maintenence plan, you have options! Some people do shorter visits more often, and some do longer appointments further apart.
EXISTING CLIENTS: I also offer express services for my existing guests. Sometimes you need a quick 'pick me up' without all the extras!
What if I don't have the time to spend 3+ hours at the salon?

These are designed to give you the essentials and get you out the door. This can be a root touch up or highlights and a toner. I will shampoo the color out (obviously), but the express doesn't give us time for a blow-dry.
Includes:
color + shampoo
Excludes:
cut/trim + blow dry
What does an EXPRESS color/blonding appointment include?
"Nicole is amazing! She is the absolute best when it comes to color and color correction. She is also great at communicating and explaining the process. I lived outside Miami for a year and missed her so much during that time. She had to correct my cut and color when I moved back to Texas, and she did an excellent job making my hair gorgeous again."
"Nicole is an elite professional in her field. She provides creative ideas, executes a wide variety of styles with ease, creates liveable/maintainable looks that compliment YOU. Her blondes are to die for. I entrust her when I want a dramatic change and to appease my most difficult to please friends. Nicole runs her business like a true boss babe!"
"I love that I can come and sit in Nicole's chair and have a vague idea of what I want to do with the color of my hair and talk it out with her. She asks questions and gives me ideas I would never think of to ask. Every time my hair comes out amazing!"
"Nicole is an excellent stylist. She's attentive to details and always gives me her honest opinion about what will and won't work for my hair. And she's a maven with blondes."
