I have been in the beauty industry for 25 years. I accidentally stumbled upon my career when I started a part time job as a shampoo girl at 15 and it was such a fun environment, I never left! I have been an entrepreneur since the day I became licensed at 18, and have been extremely blessed to be able to share my creativity and my passion to help people feel better. Thank you so much for choosing me as your trusted stylist, I look forward to our next visit.

About
Once upon a time, I was one of three owners of a big salon. I was so grateful to learn from and work with so many talented stylists for many years. I now work as an independent stylist in my cozy and unique studio space.
I have enjoyed serving Edmonton in my micro salon since 2017, and have had so much fun building relationships with all of my clients that come to see me. These days, it feels a lot more like company, and less like work!
In my studio, I use J Beverly Hills cream line and J Beverly Hills Liquids line. J Beverly Hills is a luxury product line that is very low ammonia and made of micro pigments that are botanically infused to deliver nutrients that reflect a beautiful tone and incredible shine. I also retail the J Beverly Hills Blue line and Platinum line for all of your take home needs.
My Studio
Last year I was invited to take part in J Beverly Hills Educator training in California, where I became a certified Colour Educator to implement classes on behalf of J Beverly Hills.
I have absolutely loved exploring this new role as an educator, and I am so incredibly excited to be working with J Beverly Hills. I am looking forward to helping fellow stylists become confident with using this luxury line. I have always been keen to learn everything I can about a subject that interests me, and now I am thrilled to be able to pass along my knowledge.
"My name is Mike Lanteigne, Board Director with the Edmonton Business Association.
I was most fortunate to meet Nikki in 2003, early in her professional career, and she has looked after me and my hairstyle exclusively since then.
Nikki is the consummate hair stylist; she has honed her creative and technical skills into refined art. During the evolution of her craft, I have witnessed how she has a flair for understanding exactly what her clients want.
Her professional reputation has resulted in loyal, long-term, replete business across the decades with her clients devoted to trusting her implicitly. Her client base is diverse, as she is equally skilled in women's and men's styles.
Uniquely, Nikki offers continuing care for your hair's health as she is an Educator and retailer of the high-quality haircare line, J Beverly Hills.
