Hometown: Denver, Colorado

When I started doing hair: 2007

When I started at The Parlour: 2007

What inspires/motivates me in the industry:

Fashion is my main inspiration. Runway, film, and street styles are the most impactful for me, as well as historical fashion trends.

What I am happiest doing:

I am the most happy hanging with my family and friends, especially my sweet baby! I also love my work, teaching and traveling.

Additional industry involvement:

I work for UNITE as a men’s grooming educator, the co-head of The Parlour Design Team, and a member of the wedding team. Being an educator for The Parlour is very important to me, as well.

What I love most about The Parlour:

The Parlour’s atmosphere is something very unique and the thing I love most about our salons. I’m also very proud of our education program we offer our apprentices.

Nicole has such a sweetness and ease to her personality that is great to be around. She is a great team player.
