Here’s what her guests have to say about her

“I went here for the first-time last week and it was a great experience! Nikki was very professional and cut my hair just like I described I was looking for. The blowout was my favorite part though, made my hair so soft and no frizz at all!” -Kimberly S.

“I visited Madison in the fall of 2020 and decided to try a haircut here. My son and I both received a great haircut from Nikki and enjoyed getting to know her a little bit. Her expertise as a stylist was evident in the way she paid attention to our desires and her years of experience teaching others made for interesting conversation. Nikki was an absolute joy and I will definitely request her again if we come back.” -Slade G.

“I’m a new client, and having Nikki for my first appointment was an absolute delight! I’m a faux redhead, and I’ve felt discouraged in the past when I’ve had to walk out of the salon with a red that didn’t match what I’d imagined for myself. To have someone be so attentive to the exact tone I was looking for was so refreshing! I felt relaxed throughout the appointment – Nikki is so talented and professional, and I didn’t feel like I had to “supervise” her working the way you sometimes do at your first appointment somewhere new. The salon is clean and feels luxurious, and I’ll certainly be back to see Nikki again and again!” -Tauran H.

Finally, here’s what she wants you to know

I am so thrilled to be behind-the-chair doing what I love the most. I cannot wait to meet you and give you an exceptional experience. I want you to leave the salon felling like the absolute best version of yourself—inside and out.

Here’s what her guests have to say about her

“I've been going to Be Inspired for the last few years, and Nikki has been such a help to my hair journey! I came in with virgin hair and a desire to switch things up. She was wildly encouraging and informative as I've gone through different styles, lengths, and colors! Very grateful to Nikki and the whole team there for always being encouraging and fun during every visit!!”
