Not only is she an amazing person, but I am so thrilled with my cut and color. I am always hesitant to do much with my hair, and she made it look so natural and beautiful. Thank you and definitely my new spot while we are in town. Recommend for anyone around my age (in 60-70s) and my younger daughter was thrilled as well. read more

Well Nicki saved the day today! The best cut and color I've had in years! Not to mention it was a throughly enjoyable day chatting with her, which I must say I never do when I get my hair cut. She's just easy to talk to. Back to the hair- she took my poorly colored hag hair- long and stringy, and turned it into a beautifully colored with multiple lights, polished look. I will definitely be going back. All at a very reasonable price read more

I LOVE this woman and her salon! She made my hair look amazing and I feel so special after my new hairstyle! read more

See all

I love Nikki. My hair stylist moved and actually I'm glad because Nikki does a better job. I get so many compliments on my hair. Oh and if you cant get in with Nikki, I have seen some of the work Brian does and he seems great. Also Brian gives the best shampoo I have ever had, hands down. read more

I really need to say something about this salon. I had my previous review about Mollie and because I love my haircut with her so much I booked for another appointment. To my dismay, she's no longer working there. It was Niki who answered the phone and reading her reviews, I figured let me try her. Big mistake!!! I let my hair grow for about three months after Mollie cut it, because I want to try a longer hairstyle with her this time. And besides, I know I needed the ends to be trimmed at least. I have natural curls on the bottom but the top are very straight. I asked Niki for a haircut, but she said maybe we can perm the top to blend my natural curls. Which I figured, sure why not? But the partial perm she did was only about maybe 8 medium curlers on top but excluded the sides and bottom part of my bangs that are really flat. Deep inside I was thinking, what the heck is she doing? Make it even at least? I'm not a hairdresser but it's just common sense. It was weird, but I didn't say anything because I figured she knows what she's doing. After that, she said, "I'm tempted to curl the ones that I skipped". Maybe she realized what she did? Then she probably did about maybe three snips and told me to come back so she can trim it. Then charged me $130.00! Which I paid with Cash plus tip. I figured it's okay because I will have a follow-up trim. After couple of days my hair was so dry and damaged and really looked awful. It was like a partial curly wig that was slapped to the top of my head! It was embarrassing! I just let it settle for couple of weeks hoping maybe I can tame it. I tried to straighten it with a flat iron, but because it's damaged they looked like wires. Plus, because she only did a few curls they're not even. Bought a bunch of hair repair serums just to help revive it. I called her after two weeks, but she is always out-of-town! She told me to send her a text which I did to schedule my appointment, no reply. A week passed, texted her again, no reply. What a joke! I wish I didn't lose Mollie's number.-:( She was the best! Up to this day, i can't wear my hair down but just tie it up. Still never received a call from her. What a way to run your business!! Do not waste your money on this salon. I'm not sure if she's even open because nobody answers the phone! read more

Receptionist dropped the ball and threw it back on me to call the manicurist to rebook. I cancelled. Next time be proactive if you want to make a sale. Don't expect the customer to do the work for you. read more

Very freindly people. Comfortable atmosphere. Talented Stylists and Manicurist. Beautiful location in the Vineyard Downtown. Go by and say hi. read more

I'm happier with my hair after the cut I got with Nicki than I've been in years. Great communication, top notch professional, a great eye and sense of style, friendly - I highly recommend Nicki. I was impressed she even took time after the cut to explain how it was different from what I had before and to walk me through different ways I could style it. All easy and within reach for me. It's now the day after and I'm still very happy with it. Thank you Nicki! read more

Nikki is a professional. She listens to what you want and goes beyond what is necessary. She really knows what she's doing.

Popped in for a quick touch-up during a recent trip to Palm Springs. Nicki was so welcoming and helpful, and I would definitely go back again. The salon has a relaxed and friendly vibe, and I was in and out in no time. Thank you, Nicki! read more

Walked into Nicki A's Salon this morning to inquire about a mani/pedi. Nicki was so incredibly kind to recommend another manicurist to me since hers wasn't in at the moment. Thank you Nicki, excellent service, you're the BEST! read more

Nicki is friendly, warm, personable and a consummate professional. She will advise you in YOUR own best interest, not her own or her bottom line. She will take the time to get to know you and figure out what will be the best solution for you. I also watched her interact with other customers, including kids--very kind and everyone left happy. Fabulous experience and highly recommended!!! read more

Hands down, I have never had a better hair cut. I can run my fingers through my hair and it just falls into place. Love, love, love her.

On vaca from Seattle & impulsively decided I needed a haircut on VillageFest nite. I Googled & looked at a few other salons in person before coming across Nicki A's as it was appealing to me. I like professional, not pretentious, staff & Nicki A's filled the bill. Welcoming, knowledgeable Nicole took me in w/o an appt & she cut my hair making it go from drab to FAB! She did wonders with my straight, fine hair. I also enjoyed her courteous, friendly staff immensely. I wish I could take them back home when I leave! Need a new 'do? Don't hesitate - GO! read more

A great cut every time at Nicki A's. I have been going to her slaon for over 15 years and would recomend it to anyone looking for a fulll service haor and nail salon in Palm Springs. Thank you Nicki:) read more

New in town, I went to Yelp (natch) & found Nicki A's Salon (not easy, as it's hidden in the rear of The Vineyard, but so worth the hunt!) Nicki greeted me & immediately made me feel comfortable. She listened to my ideas for a cut, made a color suggestion and off she went to create a wonderful look that completely suits my face & lifestyle! Not only that, but I feel like I made a new friend in my new town- thanks Nicki! read more

Nikki has been doing my hair for a few years now. I will never go to anyone else! Every time I tell her what I want I get exactly what I ask for and more. I had tried some of the other high end salons out here when I first moved and left very unhappy and spent way too much money for nothing. Nikki's prices are very fair and I leave happy every time! Definitely recommend her! read more

Nicki's salon is located in a great spot in downtown Palm Springs. The shop is soooo nicely decorated and the employees are very hip and professional. Nicki always gives me the best cut and color ever! You can't beat her prices either.... If you are looking for a great place to get your hair or nails done this is the place!!! Best in Palm Springs ... I highly recommend it!!! read more

Nicki A's is the best salon I've ever been to. Personable, kind, and professional, Nicki is a perfectionist who never lets you leave without feeling incredible about how you look. I drive over an hour just to get my hair done by Nicki, along with three of my family members. I will never go anywhere but to Nicki A's! She's absolutely incredible. read more

I found Nicki on yelp when I first moved to the desert and now have been going to her for nearly a year. I went to her the first time just looking to get my hair styled. She noticed my bangs (which had been cut terribly at another place) and touched them up for me at no cost and I was instantly in love. She always does an AMAZING job with my hair! Her cuts frame my face perfectly and are always exactly what I want! She gives amazing suggestions while still listening to your wants and needs and it always ends up being the perfect teamwork end result. Her color always turns out better than I expected and I never leave without a huge smile. I'd recommend everyone to give her a try for any color, cut, or styling needs!! read more

Best hairstylist ever! She just knows what to do, and makes my hair look so amazing! Not only her haircuts, but she works magic with color. Just trust her to do her thing when you go and you won't be disappointed. She really knows what she is doing! read more

Nicky A. is an Genius Colorist and a true Artist. Her knowledge about how to pull colors up and mix just the right combination to accent each person's individual features is truly amazing. She is a master haircutter who is passionate about her craft. Nicki listens to how you want your hair to look and considers all of the aspects of pleasing the customer. Her new shop is gorgeous, light, open and airy. I went to Nicki because a friend of mine has gorgeous hair always colored so beautifully and cuz so stylish. I asked her who did her hair and she sent me to Nicki. I arrived in the salon with a giant hair debacle, and Nicki resolved all of my color issues and continues to masterfully care for my hair. Spread the news and try Nicki A. She is a true professional, so enjoys what she does and will give you the most amazing result. And the shop is gorgeous with a great calming vibe. read more

I Googled looking for a salon for a haircut, and decided to try Nicki A's after reading her reviews. I am so glad I did. This is the best haircut I've had in the few years since my old hairdresser, Jason decided to quit cutting hair. Thank you, Nicki! read more

Nicole and Sam take great care of me. Go see them and get pampered today.

Just got back from my first haircut from Nicki and WOW I LOVE IT! Ive been going to the same hairstylist for as long as I can remember but my recent relocation to palm springs forced me to find someone new. She made sure I was comfortable with everything she was doing before I did it and asked many questions about how I wanted my hair in order to get a good understanding of what I was looking for. In the end she nailed what I wanted just right! not to mention she is also one of the friendliest and easy to talk to person. THANK YOU NICKI! I will be a repeat customer for sure. read more

Nicki is my new hairdresser. Beautiful color and cut. Sam is my new manicurist. I am thrilled with these two talented and creative women.

Nicki A's is a gem in the desert. Although behind the main shopping street of palm canyon it is well work going of the beaten path. Nicki's friendliness and warmth immediately greets you. Her ability to do what you visualize with you hair is refreshingly great. It's rare to find a salon where you feel at home and walk out immediately planning your return. She is talented and overall just great. Get in there, you will never want to get your hair done anywhere else. read more

I waked out of this salon feeling like a new man ! Heads started to turn & now i will return to see nikki & Sam who seem to drop everything to accomodate me . Thank you ! read more

Nicki A's Salon is FANTASTIC! The entire team is friendly and highly knowledgeable of their craft. Nicki believes in educating her client about their hair, and I, personally, came out with a whole new understanding of my cut, color, and hair type. Nicki is AMAZING! The salon is cozy, comfortable, and stylish. And, don't miss out on the custom nail art by Samantha...great for the holidays or anytime! I highly recommend Nicki A's Salon! read more

On a long vacation, and knew I'd need a color and cut before attending a wedding in late March. It's stressful enough to try an unknown hair salon, much less to know you really need to look your best for an upcoming event. I decided to try Nicki A's based on McKenna's review - it seemed they would welcome a visitor, not have that "regulars only" attitude. Nicki was busy, but I was fortunate that her colleague Patti was available. Both of them conferred about matching my color (red, not easy). The color turned out gorgeously, the cut, too! Plus, the overall ambience was warm and friendly. My husband says we should fly to Palm Springs every few months and I should come back to this salon! I highly recommend Nicki and Patti - and the manicurist appeared to be popular, too. A great find! read more

I am only in town for a week, but was looking forward to a day of pampering since it's hard to find that time at home. I did a quick search here and found Nicki A's salon. I am so happy that I called and got an appointment. Nicki is probably one of the only hair stylists that I've ever gone to that actually sat down and listened to what I wanted done and then actually made it look as I had hoped. I love how my hair turned out. She did an incredible job! The salon is quaint and has a great atmosphere. It was good to know that it was at the back of the Vineyard mall. While I was there I also got a mani pedi. I had a fun time talking with Samantha, who is obviously passionate about what she does and has fun with different styles and funky nail art. Nicki was great to talk with while she did my hair and made me feel as though I had been there a dozen times before. I definitely cannot say enough positive things about my experience with the salon and the results that I get to show off now. If you're looking for something because you're in town for a few days or looking for a change of stylists, I would highly recommend you stop in and see Nicki. read more
