She offered me a full refund, but a refund doesn't bring back my hair, so I took her to small claims court. I found out that not only is Nicole bad at hair, she's also a terrible person. Absolute and utter trash. She couldn't defend her work so she went with a character assassination without a speck of evidence to support her slanderous claims. She said there was nothing wrong with my hair... So what if I had to cut more than half of it off, a hundred dollars for a haircut NBD. In the next breath she told him, "If she was one of my clients with 4 million followers I'd be totally screwed. I'd be like here take my money." She said all the quiet parts out loud "she's just a waitress and a tarot card reader." Beauty School dropout... Go back to high school... Your lack of intelligence proceeds you. You gave yourself away. She didn't realize she was inadvertently agreeing my hair was ruined. It's so satisfying to let someone like Nicole talk and reveal themselves. She is just another; clout chasing, manipulative, shallow, disingenuous show-boater without honor, or ethics. The type that gives Angelenos a bad name. She speaks and writes like a seventh grader, but tries to act so sophisticated. She isn't fooling anyone. Since when are hair stylists in a class so far above waitresses? They aren't. Nicole went to beauty school and got a certificate after 1600 hours. I graduated from one of the most prestigious universities in our country, but I wouldn't look down my nose at Nicole because she could only go to a trade school that accepts anyone willing to pay. Nicole boasted she makes $350 an hour. Not every hour though for sure lol, because she was idle in a chair of an empty salon when I dropped off papers for her. Tons of "last minute cancellations" and open slots featured on her ig's stories too. You can expect a touch of this type of attitude from the very talented stylists in Beverly Hills. Nicole is neither talented or in Beverly Hills, and yet her ego barely fit in the court room. A legend in her own mind. Surely the result of too many participation trophies and parents who told her everything she did was wonderful! Her and her assistant literally lied to the judge and told him breakage only happens immediately. Everyone in the world knows over processed hair continues to break every time you wash, brush or style it. If you try out Nicole I highly recommend boosting your ig following, or having a career she admirers if you want her to avoid burning your hair off. Everyone else is just there to pay her bills and they have to take what they get. Your money is just whatever unless she can ride your coattails some other way. Also keep in mind her best effort is still seriously lacking. Her prettiest client Alyson who she tries to do well for is getting thinner and shorter as they go along, because Nicole doesn't know how to lighten hair without damaging it. Their making up the distance in extensions. Her methods are haphazard and half-assed. She doesn't know how to cut curtain bangs, or what color champagne blonde is. It's pretty sad. I feel sorry for her partner who appears to be a genuine person, even her buddy who brushed clumps of my hair out and lied for her, but most of all I feel sorry for her new business partner. She's far more talented, she doesn't need Nicole. They will all see in time. Nicole is never responsible for her actions, and she will always take shortcuts and advantage of others if she thinks it will benefit her. read more

Nicole and Kyler. I apologize for not getting this out sooner. But I want to thank you both very much for taking care of me. I certainly love my cut and highlights. You were definitely five stars in my book. I'm coming off my grave yard shift here in a minute. But I want to reach out to both of you. I'll see you both in a few months. Again, thank you so very much. Respectfully, Warren. read more

I'm obsessed with how Nicole did my hair! She made me a beautiful caramel blonde just like I wanted. I have super gentle, fragile hair, and I fully trust her with it. She treats it with so much care and still gets amazing results. I walked out feeling so confident and put together. Nicole really knows what she's doing. 10/10 recommend. She's a total hair magician! read more

Nicole is beyond amazing at what she does! I'm so impressed with how professional and comfortable the salon is.

I'm so glad I found you Nicole! read more

This review has been saved in my drafts as I really don't like to share negative reviews but since I came here based off of reading her yelp reviews I feel it necessary to share my personal experience. Got my hair done and it came out super dull/grey/orange- I am used to having bright white blonde. I let Nicole know this as soon as possible. I was thinking I would be told to come in that day or the next- as any time in the past I've left a salon where I'm dissatisfied with the color they correct it as it's on them. I was extremely patient- Nicole told me her schedule was very busy - for 5 weeks I wore a hat because my normal blonde, was an odd color and even the texture of it was off- it felt brittle and dry. I had been messaging with Nicole here and there over weeks - I was told the correction would cost me $40 (other places I've gone to have fixed their mistakes for free but whatever) I just wanted it fixed. When it finally came time for me to go in for my appointment- she decided to tell me an HOUR before- and only because I reached out to her- that it would actually cost me $200. She made me wait weeks to come in to get it fixed- and then tells me it's going to cost me the same price it did for the original service- the service where she ruined the color of my hair...talk about bad business. Long story short, she made it clear to me that she doesn't care about her clients. She could have told me I should go somewhere else to try and get it fixed if she couldn't help me & refunded me some of my money for her bad color service. Instead, she strung me along for weeks and I would have driven 30 mins to my appointment - only to be told when I get in her chair- that the service would be 5x the amount she originally quoted me I made the appointment. To top it all of the stylist I went to after told me that it was clear due to nicoles bleaching on top of already bleached areas and then toning my hair for far too long- that I had lots of breakage!! Principles matter to me, especially when it comes to things like hair- you have to be able to trust your hair stylist. If she ruins your color- that will be on you- the client, not her apparently. read more

I usually show her an inspo pic of what I want and she will give me suggestions that turn out better than what I expected.

I loved my experience at Nicole Salon. Her work is amazing! Also, she is sweet and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her as well as her assistant. read more

Nicole is amazing I cannot recommend her enough. I originally found her on yelp and called her in a panic for help. After going through a few hairdressers and turning ginger, I thought I would be smart and dye my own hair. Oh how I was wrong. I ended up completely fried my hair and it was in a awful condition. Since seeing Nicole my hair is WAY healthier than it has been in 7months. Our first initial appointment was meant to be a highlight, but Nicole really explained how we needed to improve the condition of my hair first. This just showed me from the beginning how she was really wanting to help me and not just after the money. I cannot thank Nicole enough for the small changes already and it's making excited for the end results in 6 months. I will not be trusting anyone else with my hair again. read more

Love love love!!! I could NOT be happier with my hair than I am right now. Nicole is amazing and so kind hearted! I was greeted nicely at the door and was offered coffee or water then we talked about my ideal hair transformation and it came out so beautiful! Nicole will definitely be my new hair girl read more

Jennifer is amazing! I wouldn't trust my hair with anyone else. She is the best! The salon is also super cool with a great vibe!

I just walked out of Nicole's salon and I'm at a loss for words! I walked in there after having a terrible experience with my last hair stylist...I'm new to the area...skeptical as to IF she could even "fix" my hair! She had an in-depth consultation with me prior to doing anything to my hair. Then, she just went to work! My hair literally looks fabulous and I never say that about my thin, fine hair! We have a "whole plan" now as to how she's going to add contrast into my color, eventually add extensions...over time...because my hair was so damaged! She didn't "push" me into anything. She set up a plan for exactly what I asked for with consideration as to my budget! She is so friendly as well! She and Justin, her assistant, work so well together ...I felt so comfortable I told her my whole life story! Lol Trust me...I'll never go to another stylist again if things go as well as they did today! I have no reason to believe otherwise! read more

Nikki is incred. Period. It can be so hard to find a good stylist, and I was lucky enough to get scheduled with her when the woman I'd previously seen moved away. She is truly talented, always brings my vision into fruition spot on, and when left to her own devices does an amazing job. Having a stylist I can trust is priceless. I would (and have, and will continue to) follow her wherever she goes. I'd strongly recommend her. Enjoy! read more

I recently moved back to LA. That move triggered one of my phobias: Finding a new hair stylist. Along with identifying new dentists and veterinarians, finding a new hair stylist is something that causes me extreme anxiety. There are a lot out there that are not good. Finally, as my hair started looking really sad, I had to bite the bullet and make an appointment with someone, somewhere. The condition of my hair (color and cut) was at a desperation stage. I did a lot of research on Yelp, and really liked what I read about Nicole. I viewed her Instagram. I picked Nicole. I'm very glad I did. I arrived first to just get a cut/re-shaping of my hair. Fortunately, she'd had a cancelation right after me and she was also able to do my color. The color looks amazing and I have received many compliments (including from other stylists, I might add). My hair feels very healthy. The cut was great; just the reshaping that I needed. Nicole really knows a lot of different techniques and has excellent training from top salons. All said, I'm really glad I took the plunge, got over my "new stylist phobia" (there must be a Latin term for that), and came to Nicole. It may have been my first time, but definitely not my last! read more

She's the cutest person ever. She walks in and is basically a hair fairy godmother. Her energy is so fun and I i really look forward to my appointments. Highly recommend Nicole she's amazing at what she does and does it with so much passion it's fun to watch and my hair looks amazing every time. read more

Nothing but good things to say about Nicole! I came to her wanting to color my hair for the first time EVER, and she far exceeded my expectations. She did a blonde balayage and cut quite a bit of length off of my hair. The color and cut turned out beautifully. I did not know exactly what color I wanted and asked her to do what she felt was best...SHE DID! She is such a sweet and fun person to be around, makes getting my hair done all the more enjoyable. You really cannot go wrong with Nicole, she will make you feel beautiful 10/10 times! read more

I'm very picky about who does my hair and I'm so beyond happy I found Nikki!
