I've been lucky enough to have Nicole as my hairstylist for over five years. She is knowledgeable, kind, and so talented! She puts hair and scalp health above everything else while performing gorgeous balayage and cuts. Most recently, she helped me get ready for my wedding with invisible bead extensions. I had zero experience with extensions, but the process was informative and painless due to her care and knowledge. Her install process ensured that it looked like my hair, but elevated! She gave me a take home care package to ensure I had everything I needed to care for my extensions. I can't recommend Nicole enough! read more

Bloom By Nicole Fermo - Invisible bead extensions - Hair Salons Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I'm so skeptical and scared when it comes to finding someone who can do my hair, but luckily I found Nicole!!! She is just so damn... AMAZING!!! I have super dark Asian hair that takes FOREVER, or many visits, to become a silvery blonde! I had my hair done with other stylists before and thought it came out great, but what I didn't know was that my hair looked great because of the toning, not because of the actual work itself.... Side note: you can hide terrible hair jobs with toning. I had multiple colors on my hair that Nicole had to fix, and she also went slow and steady on my hair. Because Nicoloe cares about the integrity of your hair, she will refuse to go fast and harsh, this breaks your hair people!!! She kept my silver Ash hair that I had at my ends and balyage and matched the heck out of my hair. When they say you get what you spend... It's so true!!! And she's WORTH every... Single.. dime!!! I'm so happy with my hair; and will definitely be going back to her!! Before and after pic of my hair! read more

Nicole is an amazing hair stylist !!! She is a perfectionist and does beautiful haircuts and is a master at balayage coloring for my naturally curly hair. I leave her chair with celebrity hair. I also love how very knowledgeable she is about hair care in general and she just gets what I'm looking for and understands my specific hair texture. To top it off she is so sweet and makes the experience so enjoyable! read more

Bloom By Nicole Fermo - One of the times she's done my hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Nicole has been taking care of me for over 5 years... I followed her to two different locations because she is just THAT good. Her new spot is beautiful... you just have to see it in person! Here is what I love about Nicole: She is a color artist! (A balayage queen!) She is a professional! (She knows her craft and gives you her professional opinion with realistic expectations.) She is an amazing person! (I leave every appointment feeling like I just had brunch with a friend!) p.s... I am a nurse and feel super safe seeing her during this pandemic. She has taken the proper precautions to protect her clients and the public. :) read more

Bloom By Nicole Fermo - my balayage at my last visit! - Hair Salons Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Amazing is all I can say!! The first time walking into meet Nicole was like we had met many times before. She is so cute and knows her stuff. She knew my exact color and made my hair look so much better than ever. It just keeps getting better every time. I leave feeling so freakin beautiful. The new Salon is pure "HEAVEN"! Can I just sit there for the rest of the afternoon?! I promise you will not be disappointed. You will feel like a Queen! And she will make sure you understand what she is doing, going to do, and just make your hair look like you belong in HOLLYWOOD! Such a positive vibe with Nicole, her energy is contagious! read more

I'll start by saying that I have never been happier with my hair. It's been through a lot with Nicole: short, long, dark, light; and every time I leave the salon, I'm absolutely LOVING my hair. This time around: balayage. She got me as blonde as I have always wanted AND my hair has always left the salon each session feeling healthy. Not to mention, the products she uses are quality. I haven't had a single issue with my hair feeling dry or split. Another plus: she's incredibly sweet and is really meticulous with her work. She's also an unlicensed therapist, but you won't see that listed on her business card ;) I see her every 3 or 4 months. Balayage is so low maintenance (so if this is something you've been thinking about getting done, call Nicole because she'll do you right)!! Photos are posted below (my hair is naturally a medium brown). PS: her studio is cute af read more

She transformed my hair from blah to new and refreshing. Beyond excited that I found the woman to revive my hair and take it to the next level of healthy and beautiful!!! read more

I've been with Nicole for 7 years and have regular appointments every 5-6 weeks to keep my hair looking fresh. Nicole is a balayage master. If you are searching for someone that knows color, she is your girl. She always has a game plan for summer and fall seasons to lighten or darken my hair. I have permanent hair color throughout my hair because of my stubborn grays and lifting the color from my hair to lighten it is a process. She cares about the health of my hair and I appreciate that. When I first sat in her chair years ago, she took my super long hair and gave me an updated, much-needed cut. I fell in love with her then because she made me feel beautiful. From then on, I've gone through a gambit of fashion colors, had an undercut for a minute, and maintained a balayage that was perfect for work and play. With COVID-19, I've gone weeks on weeks without color, which ultimately made me decide to try growing out my gray hair and seeing where I can go with that. Nicole was super supportive of the idea. I just saw her again for a much-needed haircut on her second day back from quarantine. I am so happy she's up and running again. TIP: If you have to cancel be really sure you have to cancel because getting back in her books might set you back weeks. Nicole is fantastic with making accommodations to try and squeeze you in somewhere, but she's also great at what she does and I am happy to say she has a loyal following of clients and she gets booked quickly. I literally have a few appointments booked out in advance, so I know I can get the day and time that works for me. Lastly, Nicole has a beautiful bright space with windows overlooking the harbor. It is so peaceful and calm. You will not be disappointed with the view or the service. Sit back, relax with your choice beverage (depends on what she has on hand), and let Nicole work her magic. Cheers to good hair days! read more

Nicole is awesome. I've been with her for probably about a year or more now. From the beginning, she has taken the time to understand the look I'm going for and always ensures I'm satisfied with the results. I really trust her when it comes to color; I am super picky about it and she always listens to my preferences, but also makes helpful suggestions. She makes getting my hair cut/roots dyed an "experience," which I both appreciate and look forward to. She is so warm and has created such a welcoming and comfortable environment in her salon, which by the way is now in a beautiful location overlooking the ocean. I always leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. And my hair looks better than ever! When I found Nicole I found my forever stylist! read more

LOVE your new location! Truly a treat coming to get my hair done at your chair and overlook the marina. Nicole has been my go to for my hair for the past 5+ years! Her talent speaks for itself, my hair always looks exactly how I want when she's done. I get a full balayage and then a partial every other time and my color grows out naturally. If you're looking for a talented hairstylist, look no further! Simply the best. read more

It's been almost 3 years since Nicole started doing my hair and it's just gotten better and better. I moved an hour away and still make the drive to her, I've been through almost 2 pregnancies with her and she has always known how to adapt to my hormone-affected hair. We have now gone through COVID together, where she gave me the option to pick up color to do myself while we waited for her to reopen. I could sit here and write a book about why, if you're reading this, you should absolutely book an appointment with her. Low-key obsessed with her and you will be too. read more

Nicole is an amazing artist who truly loves what she does and it shows in her work. She really does a great job with color that compliments your skin tone. You can show or tell her what you want and she really listens to you and will also give you her feedback and is super honest! Her cuts and styling are awesome and leave you feeling glamorous. She is warm and kind and just make the whole experience so relaxing. She is always learning and educating herself with the newest techniques so she is up to date on all the latest hair trends and styles. She truly is a gem and will have you leave her salon looking fabulous! read more

I've seen Nicole since late 2016, and my hair has loved her ever since! After extensive Yelp & Instagram (@n.resnickhair / @bloom.lb) research, I gave Nicole a call and left a message. She promptly returned my call, and I came in a few days later for a short consultation appointment. She took a look at my hair, quoted pricing, and we scheduled our first balayage appointment. I have naturally dark hair, so the maintenance on my roots is about every 5-6 weeks. She advises of full/partial balayage when needed. I get haircuts from her every few months. The best part is that your hair stays HEALTHY! She has an adorable display of products available for purchase, but doesn't force any sales. Nicole has MASTERED the art of curling with a straightener. I've left every appointment LOVING the color and styling of my hair. I can typically make her blow dry last 3-4 days, which is a long time for my oily-prone scalp. Go to @n.resnickhair on Instagram and see for yourself! read more

Nicole really knows her stuff! She has a lot of talent. Would definitely recommend her to all my friends. I love my hair!!!!

Nicole is AMAZING!!!!! She is your go to girl for balayage! I went to Nicole for a consultation when she was at Bella Salon of Naples. I came in with dark brunette boxed dyed hair, wanting to get back to a natural blonde. She of course told me it was a process and that if I was willing to work with her I would eventually get the hair I wanted and it would be healthier. Fast forward to now, I have the "Pinterest" worthy hair I've always wanted AND it's healthier than it's ever been! I of course decided to follow her when she left Bella. She now has her own suite and it's absolutely adorable! I loved the atmosphere! It's calm and laid back and you really feel like a new person when you leave! I have attached pictures of my journey back to blonde and, you should totally check her Instagram out for more pictures of the work she does, she is extremely talented! read more

See Teneka for ALL your skincare needs! Facials leave you refreshed and ready for the next day!

Nicole is the most skilled balayage stylist I've ever had. I've been seeing her for 4 years now and I always know I'm going to get a great color/cut and leave with a smile on my face. She's not only good at what she does but she's a delightful person! read more

I've been going to Nicole for a good 2 years now and followed her when she opened up her own suite salon in LB. My hair has gone through a lot of changes with Nicole and she was the beginning of my balayage transformation. Nicole is very patient, very realistic and focused when it comes to hair. She will take great care of you and your hair, and will let you know what may or may not work. I've never left Nicole feeling like I didn't absolutely love the turn out. She will listen to what you want and does her best to get you there. She's amazing at what she does! read more

If you came across this... take it as a sign to book with Nicole!! After multiple trips to search for the perfect person that I can trust deeply with my hair, I am glad to say that I have finally found the one. Nicole covers all the questions and fears you have about diving in deep with your hair. Speaking from personal experience, I felt an immediate weight lift off my shoulders once she ran through every little detail we need to know about my coloring process. And let me say, she paints from her own uniqueness and that's what I aspire so much! The end results of my first balayage with her brought me to actual tears. From all the previous bad hair traumas, Nicole made me view coloring my hair not scary or threatening to me at all. As for my time here at Bloom was not only to admire the drop dead gorgeous view of the water, but the conversations I had with such a kind hearted person. She makes you feel welcomed and you can go on for hours with any sort of conversation sitting on that chair as she works her magic .. So if you're debating whether or not to give Nicole a shot with your hair... Don't even hesitate! read more

Nicole is an amazing artist within her field! I've been a client of hers for approximately 4 years, and trust me when I tell you that she has my full respect and confidence as the hairstylist she is and the amazing person that is her. I began searching for options and hairstylists when I first began to grey. I came upon Nicole and I immediately knew, within our first meeting, that she was a great fit for me and that I be would be in good hands. I have always been scared to color my hair let alone cut it to any length outside of my comfort zone. She understood that and respected my feelings/thoughts. Years later, I have begun to feel comfortable stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new things with my hair color, in large part because I know Nicole will work her magic. Never has she made me feel judged nor pressured to do more to my hair than I am comfortable with. As a result, I've ventured into new experiences with my hair by having it balayaged, cut more than 1 1/2 inches (yes, this is a huge feat for me, lol), lightened it, etc., I've been happy with every result and receive many compliments about my hair each time. Her new studio is absolutely breathtaking. There is amazing natural lighting coming through large windows that also provide a scenic view as she performs her artistry on your hair. The studio vibe is boho and relaxing. She is well versed and knowledgeable about her hair care and coloring products. Parking is in abundance. I highly recommend her and have already referred my daughter to her as well as friends. read more

I've been going to nicole before she opened bloom beauty and followed her after bc she's amazing at what she does. She has a great eye for color and if you relinquish power to her and let her do her thing you will be extremely happy with the outcome! I highly recommend her! read more

Nicole is AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I love her, and you will too. :) I've followed Nicole from Salon Drew to Bella and now to Bloom! Seriously, she does an amazing cut and color, balayage- whatever you need... You'll leave looking fabulous! I can't say enough wonderful things about Nicole and her new salon. My only regret is that I forgot to take photos to post. LOVE HER! @N.resnickhair read more

Absolutely love Nicole! Without much direction she knew exactly how I wanted my hair and what I wanted to avoid. She also gave me great advice of what I should do in the future to keep my hair from going too red..which no other salon has been able to do! Took me a while to find a salon in Long Beach to fit my needs but finally found it.. read more

I have been following Nicole since her days way back in Salon Drew. My heart dropped when I learned that she gone to a different salon. Thankfully, the salon was a sister salon. She was there for a bit and always loved her haircuts. Then, I got a letter last month saying that her salon would be closing and transferring to another salon and that Nicole wouldn't be a part of their team anymore. Whaaaat! Thank goodness I took down Nicole's number on our last visit. It turns out that she opened up her own business--Bloom Beauty Bar. Let me tell you, it is tough to get an appointment with this lady because she is BUSY! I finally decided to give balayage a try and I don't trust anyone more than Nicole. If you follow her on IG (n.resnickhair) she has tons of different hair styles, hair colors, and hair cuts. I LOOOOOOVE her haircuts! She's given me my best hair cut yet. She's given me an A-cut (long at the front, short at the back), but it's very subtle. I've had that kind of haircut before, but it was always too blunt and too obvious. She's great at listening to what I'd like. She knows I love volume, so my hair is never flat. Her new salon is so cute! I went on a Saturday afternoon and there was plenty of street parking. It is metered parking, so that sucks. Her chairs are so comfortable and very ergonomic :) I'm definitely down for that. Make sure to book your appointment with her ASAP! I know I have :) read more

Nicole is amazing! She's always on time and send me reminders for my appointments (which is great because I forget everything unless it's written down). She does a fantastic balayage! read more

Talk about a stylist with a passion for the art of hair and color! I went to Nicole in need of a desperate color transformation after I viewed her insta showing all of this amazing balayage work. I am a normal balayage customer so I wanted to find someone that has mastered it. Well I found her! Nicole wants perfection for your hair more then you do yourself and that's what I love about her! She totally transformed my hair into this amazing natural color that everyone keeps complimenting! Her positive attitude and cute style and her boutique salon are just all extra additions that made my experience perfect. read more

Nicole is the best hair dresser ever....seriously. I let a friend color my hair and it pretty much died and turned to straw and was way too blonde and the roots kept growing in so terribly. I got referred by a friend to Nicole and made an appointment right away. She took her time getting my hair deeply conditioned and back to a great color and even got me hooked up with some great hair products. I have never been so happy with my hair or a hair dresser! She's super honest and let's you know what will and won't work based on hair type and it's such a relief because I know nothing about hair. She's so friendly and her studio is hers only, so it's very personal! You don't feel rushed or like there are a ton of of other people around. Her studio is also gorgeous and makes you feel so happy. I couldn't recommend her more! She's the absolute best. read more

Bloom By Nicole Fermo - Thank you Nicole for fixing my hair and making it the best it's ever been! - Hair Salons Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I've been looking for a great mens hairstylist since I moved to Long Beach. Although there are a ton of barbers, I was looking for a salon that wouldn't send me out with the same hair as the last 10 people who walked in. Enter Bloom Beauty Bar @ The Phenix Salon Suites. I went in while my sister was getting a balyage and she cut my hair during the process. Nicole gave me an amazing hair cut that was unique and textured unlike any previous haircut i've had. She even spent some time to show me how to style it. Because lets be honest, it never looks the same when you style it at home. I'm extremely happy with my hair and have already gone back for another cut! Check her out on Instagram @n.resnickhair! read more

Friendly and super knowledgeable! Made great recommendations and path forward to make my hair better. Thank you!!

I've been coming to Nicole for over 2 years now and she is incredible!

She knew exactly what I was looking for and made me feel so comfortable. I love how she takes her time with you and you are her top priority Now I look forward to getting my hair done!! Her salon is clean and adorable! Plus she is so kind and hospitable. My hair looks natural which is exactly what I was going for. The color is amazing. Love love love her (and my hair)!!! read more

Nicole is not only the sweetest human being, but she's also the BEST hairstylist. Nicole has been my hairstylist for the past 4yrs and every time I bring a inspo pic, she always delivers.

Every experience I've had at Bloom beauty bar has been fantastic. Nicole is professional, timely, and extremely talented. My color is perfect each and every time and I absolutely LOVE my cut.

She has a heart of gold. You walk in a stranger and leave a friend. It took me years to find someone I trusted, I was recommended to her through a friend, and I'll never look for someone else. read more
