Hair & Extensions - Niko - Hair Stylists Near Me - Brea, California

I had extensions put in earlier this year with my former hairstylist of 7yrs and was never satisfied esp with the amount I was paying her. When I researched hair stylists who specialize in extensions, I found Niko. During my consult, Niko showed me hair samples of different colors and quality (My last stylist never showed me samples of hair to choose from) Niko is so good at picking hair with different color dimensions where it looks natural. I've never felt so confident after getting my hair done before! I 10000% recommend going to Niko - She is responsive, flexible and takes so much pride in her work. Thank you sooo much! See you again in Dec!!! read more

Hair & Extensions - Niko - Hair Stylists Near Me - Brea, California

Niko really listens to your needs and does what you ask. She never pushes you into a decision you might regret, either. She usually cuts and dyes my hair. Her new studio looks amazing and I love the boutique, too! read more

I was so lucky to find Niko 3 years ago when I was having issues with my hair color from a previous salon. Niko transformed my color on my first visit and I have been seeing her monthly since then. She is an excellent colorist who uses only high quality products. If your color is important to you, you will not be disappointed trying her. I recently moved over 50 miles away to the SF Valley but continue to come to Brea for Niko because she is that good! read more

Niko is very kind and accommodating, she gave me exactly what I wanted and was able to color match my hair just from pictures I sent since I am from out of town. Her new space is super cute and cozy I will go back to her next time I need extensions or a color/cut! read more

I've been going to Niko for years for all my hair needs! She is super talented and patient. She listens to what you want and makes recommendations that truly suit my look. Her salon is super cute with all her plants and super clean. I love the seasonal voluspa candles she gets in throughout the year and I can't help but snag one or two while I'm there! read more

Niko is the absolute best. Referred by a colleague, she takes her time, asks all the right questions and ensures you leave with the result you're looking for. If you'd like someone who has the passion and genuine caring needed to connect and understand their clients, Niko is a good fit for you! read more

I found her on Yelp, after going a year of researching for a new stylist. I wanted someone who knew the importance of their own schedule, was empathetic about my hair needs, but most of all would give me what i pay for. Niko is Such a warm welcoming soul, who is a perfectionist at best! Always training to learn todays style, and trends. She takes her time and truly cares about my hairs health! I was growing out my hair for a year 12 months virgin- with highlighted breaking ends that needed some TLC. The previous stylist used Goldwell, and my hair was breaking---Thank goodness I read the other reviews on yelp, and had a consultation with her, I'm happy to also transition into Kevin Murphy product line, and have my hair insured with Olaplex while my hair processes to blond. Im so happy to have found Niko! Shes honest with her color, and cuts wanting to truly please her clients above and beyond. I love getting Brazilian blow outs, these are my new thing with her, rather than me flat ironing my hair- its way more beneficial and is helping my hair stay strong when it used to break all the time, I really wish I would have done a Brazilian years ago!!! I cant say it enough- She takes her time processing colors, and is a genius with attention to detail! If you're looking for the best stylist in brea with a heart that matches her looks- you need to look no further! She will treat you like family--my mom even goes to her now, also she is conveniently located across from the Brea Mall, so parking isnt bad. Price is fair also, you definitely get what you pay for, and she stands behind her work! read more

I would like to start this review with a BIG Thank you Nicole! She made my hair beautiful and healthy again! She put the bounce back in my hair. I've been to several colorist the last 3 years, due to my original person retired. During that time, they burned my hair, and it was always dry and course. It seemed like all those other colorists just wanted to bleach and tone because that's all they know. Nicole was a referral, I'm so glad I listened. She's not afraid to inform you/me of what not to do vs, what should be done, and what products I should use and how to use them. I have prominent grey hair, and all those other stylists were not able to cover for me. Nicole found a way due to her knowledge to cover it and not wash out after "20 washes!" The color lasts! If you need a great hair colorist, go see her. Just don't take my spot! Haha : ) read more

Niko is the best!! Hands down I struggled with my hair for years, it was my biggest insecurity. I hated my hair and spent so much time focussed on it. I went to Niko and she fixed me :) I have been getting my hair done by her for years now and she is always so supportive of any change I want to make. I have never been happier with my hair and I'm so incredibly grateful for her! I get tape in extensions and no one can ever tell I have extensions which is a huge win. I have had a balayage, dark brown hair, bright blonde hair, and now a beautiful golden color. Niko can do anything and everything and pays so much attention to detail. Love her!! read more

Ive gone to Niko for 7 years. I've been to many other salons before & Niko is the best hair dresser ever! I get my extensions and color done. I even go see her for blow outs because the experience is so enjoyable. It a very professional environment. She makes me feel comfortable with her cute salon. read more

Before going to Niko, I literally went to Brea mall to buy the comb clip on hair extensions. They were expensive & never looked right. As I have gotten older, in my 40s... My hair is thinner & only works if it's short. I've been seeing Niko for a couple years now and she's done different colors different long lengths & I've always been very happy....it's taking years off of how I look.!!!! She brings her cute cat and awesome personality so it's a pleasure to go get pampered every time!!! read more

Nico is very sweet and friendly. Her space in the salon is also welcoming. I went to her for a subtle balayage ombré. She's very knowledgable and has a good eye for what looks nice. She really took her time on my hair and explained things as she went. I felt like she actually cared about the results as if it were her own head of hair she was working on. I have never felt as actively involved/consulted for my opinion as I did with her. She really listens to what you say, offers suggestions if you ask, and tries to make sure you and her are on the same page to help manage your expectations. For the first time in my life, I left a hair salon completely satisfied. The entire experience from the time I walked in the door, was great. I will definitely be back and I would recommend her to any and everyone. Thanks so much again Nico! I have never loved my hair color so much! read more

Hair & Extensions - Niko - Subtle yet beautiful! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Brea, California

This post is long overdue. I been going to Niko for over a year now and she the best. My hair isn't easy to work with because it is Latina hair and I went from black to blonde. When I came to Niko I had really damaged hair from bleached and glue in extensions. She has made my hair so healthy and gorgeous, she is so great with advice and very patience. I am so happy and lucky to have met her. read more

I literally get compliments on my hair the second I leave my hair appts with Niko. Why? Because she DELIVERS. I catch myself gazing at the results like, oh yes, this look is fierce. ::Flips Hair:: BIG BIG FAN of the VOLUSPA CANDLES! The Saijo Persimmon seriously smells like so good, it's fruity and made of coconut wax. LOVE! Super good house warming gift! read more

Niko is the literal best. I will not let anyone else touch my hair. I'm from OC and I've been driving to Beverly Hills for years to get my hair done because I'm super particular about hair/nails/any beauty services and I have difficult hair. My best friend turned me on to Niko and I haven't looked back. I come from a mixed-ethnic background and have wavy and textured hair. When wet or air dried, my hair looks 1000x different than when it's styled. Niko takes her time to make sure my hair looks beautiful in its natural state as well as styled. Cutting it wet and dry to make sure it always looks great. I always walk out feeling great about myself. I 10/10 recommend! read more

I have been going to Niko for 5 years now. She's a master of her craft and has performed many color styles on me such as an extreme color correction from dying my own hair and incredible balayage that I never stop getting compliments on. She has also done beautiful long full head extensions which she is also a perfectionist at. She is kind, and takes her time with my hair. Long ago, she took on the task of color correcting my hair from jet black to more of my natural color after another stylist from "5 Star" Hairroin Salon in Los Angeles very rudely told me, "Your hair can't be fixed. That's what you get for dumping black boxed dye all over it.", (Which made me feel really bummed out and embarrassed). Guess what, I took my hair over to someone who cares and has patience and she fixed it in two sessions. She has a cute private suite with coffee, lattes, tea, wine, water and snacks/goodies. Also, she uses cruelty free and high quality hair products by Kevin Murphy which is important to my personal values. Going to her salon is simply a treat and I always look forward to my appointments :) Ps. She does great henna eyebrow tinting- I recommend that service as well! read more

True hair genius! I am so thankful I found her, she loves her profession and is a true perfectionist! Cutting edge with color and blondes, but also a gem with darks! I have tape in and individual extensions which Require intricate detailed work. She's gentle on your scalp and truly cares about the end result. She can replicate any haircut, which is an added bonus! I highly recommend Niko to anyone who needs a stylist who loves her job and is constantly educating herself! read more

When I first came to niko my roots had grown out so much I made my own form of ombré. I needed something new and she knew just what to do. I've had my fair share of bad experiences at the salon, but coming to Niko I have complete trust in her so I don't worry. If I show her a picture of what I had in mind she'll have it looking the exact same or even have it looking better! She's very beautiful and friendly! The setup Of her space is very adorable and welcoming. I know when I come it's going to be a good time and I always leave feeling beautiful because any style or color she does with my hair works out perfectly. Thanks for being awesome and putting up with my wild stories. I love my new hair read more

Hair & Extensions - Niko - Hair Stylists Near Me - Brea, California

Niko is amazing! She is incredibly kind, attentive and a hair wiz! I walked in with a mess of over-bleached over-processed hair and wasn't exactly sure what I wanted aside from some sort of balayage. Since I was unsure I let her make a lot of judgement calls regarding my color and I'm so glad I did! It came out beautifully. On top of the wonderful cut + color she was very quick. I'm very antsy and hate having to sit for long periods of time so normally getting my hair cut is quite the chore. The time flew by and before I knew it I was done. Definitely will keep returning to her again and again :) read more

Amazing.. Amazing.. AMAZING!! I have never felt so beautiful and completely obsessed with my hair!!! This woman was sent from heaven to fix my hair!! She is my angel!! Amazing work!

Niko fixed my hair and gave me exactly what I wanted! I showed her a photo and the end result was down to a T. I have dark stubborn asian hair and she has given me the most beautiful blonde balayages with all these detailed dimensions all while leaving my hair feeling healthy. The first time she did my hair was the first time in my whole life I've ever immediately liked my hair afterwards... it didn't take that "oh maybe after a week or so I'll like it better" that you know we have all gone through! Even when I asked her for "layers but not like Rachel from Friends layers", she somehow was able to decipher that and knew exactly what would fit my face best. Niko is so beautiful, talented and easy going. Her salon space is super cute, she offers you coffee and makes you feel very comfortable. She's a perfectionist and uses the best of the best high end products on her clients. She's the most amazing hair colorist, so good that I drive an hour to see her to beautify my hair. I get compliments on my hair all the time and have her to thank for it! Niko is hands down the best, move over Guy Tang! read more
