Nicole, originally from Farmington Hills, Michigan, has blessed the beauty industry for seventeen years as both a makeup and hair stylist. She’s passionately worked as a stylist, here in Chicago, for nearly 15 years and considers herself a “blonde specialist.” Driven to create a fun and exciting beauty experience for her clients, she feels responsible for helping them to feel not just “good” but “absolutely beautiful.” She isn’t just a stylist. Oh no. Nicole loves to change a person’s overall look with hair and makeup. “Hair, makeup, and the beauty industry are my passion, 100%, and I am so lucky to do what I do each and every day.” She says that her decision to work as an “independent beauty professional” was the best decision of her adult life because it offers her freedom, flexibility and the ability to work with new people that have recharged both herself and her career. She is also, self admittedly, obsessed with her family of two sisters, Jessica and Allison, and her cute Dad, Harold. Nicole’s puppy dog, Moira, is her angel baby, and provides her loads of inspiration. She is ultra-excited to continue her beauty industry education and leveling-up her knowledge to benefit her clients.

She's a bonafide lover of hair. "I just love to cut and color. It's as simple as that. Hair styling is such a fun, artistic and creative way to make a living and an incredible career choice, one that enables me to meet great people, make others feel good about themselves and do new and exciting things every single day."
Michelle believes strongly in advanced education which she has received from some of the most prestigious educators in the world like Aveda, Vidal Sassoon, Sharon Blain and Tony & Guy. "When you're from the Midwest, sometimes you have to travel to learn from the best.” Some of the things Michelle likes to do when she's not working - road trips, overseas travel, a nice long walk with a good playlist, a girl’s trip involving a beach, music, dancing and being grateful for family.
