NICOLE

MASTER HAIRSTYLIST

 

NICOLE IS A BRAND NEW EDITION TO OUR EPIC FAMILY WITH 20+ YEARS EXPERIENCE! SHE IS A CERTIFICED MASTER HAIRSTYLIST FROM SCHWARZKOPF.  

 

DURING A LITTLE Q&A, NICOLE REVEALED THE FOLLOWING ABOUT HERSELF...

YOUR HAIR ICON OR FAVOURITE HAIR PERIOD: 

MY FAVORITE ICON IN THE HAIR INDUSTRY WOULD HAVE TO BE SCHWARZKOPF GLOBAL COLOR AMBASSADOR LESLEY JENNISON. SHE BEGAN HER CAREER IN 1984 AT VIDAL SASSOON, AND SPENT 18 YEARS TRAVELING THE GLOBE TEACHING, SHOOTS, SHOWS. HER VISION AND COLORS ARE NOTHING SHORT OF BREATHTAKING, WHICH INSPIRES ME TO FOLLOW MY DREAM OF ONE DAY WORKING ON SHOWS AND RUNWAYS! 

YOU WOULD DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL STYLE AS:

TIMELESS, PROFESSIONAL, REFINED, POLISHED, SOPHISTICATED. I AM ORGANISED, PRACTICAL AND PREFER TO FILL MY WARDROBE WITH VERSATILE INVESTMENT PIECES.

MUSIC YOU LISTEN TO OUTSIDE THE SALON:

MY GENRES OF MUSIC GO FROM COUNTRY, POP, ROCK, RAP, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN! ALTHOUGH I MYSELF A COUNTRY GIRL AT HEART BUT GREW UP LISTENING TO BLUES AND ROCK.

YOUR HAIR IS:

MY HAIR IS FINE WITH THE LENGTH BELOW MY SHOULDER-COLOURED RED ON ONE SIDE AND DARK PURPLE ON THE OTHER!

YOUR FAVOURITE HAIR PRODUCT BRAND:

MY CURRENT FAVORITE PORDUCT LINE WOULD BE THE SESSIONLABEL BY SCHWARZKOPF, AND ALL THE PRODUCTS FROM ORIBE.

3 CAN'T-LIVE-WITHOUT HAIR TOOLS:

BLOW DRYER

YOUR DAILY HAIR ROUTINE:

AS A HAIRSTYLIST, I HAVE FINALLY LEARNED TO NOT WASH MY HAIR MORE THAN TWICE A WEEK. I HOT STYLE WITH A BLOW DRYER OR A CURLING IRON. I ALSO LIKE TO WEAR A HIGH PONY OR MESSY BUN DEPENDING ON WHAT MY DAY ENTAILS.

FAVOURITE CUT TO GIVE:

I AM A SASSOON TRAINED STYLIST SO ANY FORM OF THE BOB HAIRCUT. I LOVE THE PRECISION AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL THTA IT REQUIRES.

FAVOURITE COLOUR TECHNIQUE TO USE:

BLONDES! I LOVE THE BRIGHTNESS THAT THEY GIVE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT'S DONE BY BALAYAGE TECHNIQUE, FOILS, OR FREE HAND PAINTING. THE TONES THAT YOU CAN ADD AFTERWARDS ARE ENDLESS! IT'S LIKE PLAYING WITH YOUR FAVORITE PAINT SET AND YOU NEVER HAVE TO PUT THEM DOWN.

YOUR HAIRSTYLING CLAIM TO FAME (TECHNIQUE YOU ARE MOST KNOWN FOR):

MY COLORS AND A CLOSE SECOND WOULD BE MY UPDOS.

WORST HAIR CUT YOU HAVE EVER RECEIVED:

NOTHING COMES TO MIND ABOUT HAVING A BAD HAIRCUT.
