Aloha! I’m Nicole, and I’ve been doing what I love—making people feel amazing—for over 23 years. My journey started in the Bay Area of California, where I trained under industry icons Yosh Toya and Gina Khan. Thanks to their guidance (and a lot of hard work), I worked my way up to Master Designer and launched a career that’s taken me all over the world.
From backstage at Fashion Week to teaching as a salon educator and platform artist, I’ve had some pretty incredible experiences. But hands down, the best decision I’ve ever made was moving to beautiful Bend, Oregon with my family.
These days, life in the PNW lets me slow down, stay creative, and soak up the moments that matter most—with my husband Mike, our daughter Parker, and our two bulldogs, Lenny and Squiggy. We’re big fans of music, hiking, golfing, and anything that gets us out on the water.
In the salon, I specialize in lived-in color, grey blending, and blonding magic. I’ve got a serious love for cutting, working with textured hair, and (my true passion) all things curly. If you’re looking for someone who understands curls and loves a great transformation—I’ve got you!
Can’t wait to see you at ANNA Salon.
