Nikki is the ONLY person I trust with my hair. I've been seeing her for 5? (6?) years now and if she ever moves out of state, I may go with her. She does an excellent job coloring and cutting my hair. I often just give her an idea of what I want and let her be creative. She's never let me down. She's also really good at talking me out of bad ideas or giving me realistic expectations. A lot of hair stylists might just do whatever you want, but she actually takes the time to talk to you about how it will really love, the maintenance involved, better alternatives, etc. She really cares about her clients and wants you to look and feel great. I also send my husband here and she does an exceptional job. For a man that literally doesn't own a comb, he is very particular about his hair. She not only makes him happy, but she makes sure that he actually looks good (which makes me happy). That's not an easy task with a man that refuses any kind of hair maintenance but still doesn't like short hair.
