Nicky Collins

Stylist

With over 24 years of experience in the hair industry, I bring a deep passion and dedication to helping clients look and feel their best. I specialize in short haircuts, natural hair care, weaves, silk presses, and protective styles and more. My goal is to not only create beautiful, healthy styles but also to educate clients on proper hair maintenance and care tailored to their unique hair type and lifestyle. Throughout my career, I’ve built lasting relationships by offering consistency, professionalism, and a personalized touch in every service. Whether you’re looking for a bold transformation or healthy hair growth guidance, I’m here to deliver styles that celebrate your natural beauty and boost your confidence.

Best service ever! Washed/blow dry with medium knotless braids less than 3 hours. Highly recommend professional styling services. Booked 4 weeks maintenance + quality braids. Totally relaxed vibe and clean atmosphere.
