Stylist Nicole

Nicole is a dedicated hairstylist with over 20 years of industry experience, specializing in hair extensions, blonding, sun-kissed balayage, and promoting healthy, vibrant hair. As a passionate Davines educator, she combines artistry with education to deliver exceptional results. Nicole's love for the beauty industry began as a teenager, styling hair, painting nails, and applying makeup while babysitting. Known as the "go-to braider" on bus rides to sporting events, her early creativity evolved into a lifelong career devoted to helping others look and feel their best.

Nicole’s mission is to empower every client to embrace their unique beauty. She prides herself on building meaningful relationships and tailoring each service to reflect her clients' individuality. Her career has spanned a variety of salon environments, from Minneapolis to Stillwater and Hudson, culminating in a dream come true: the launch of her very own salon, The Mane Influence, in Lakeland, MN, in August 2024.

What makes this new chapter even more special is the opportunity to share it with her daughter, Alexus, who brings five years of experience and her own creative touch to the team. Together, Nicole and Alexus are thrilled to welcome clients—both new and returning—to their beautiful new space, where they are committed to delivering exceptional service and unforgettable experiences.
