Nicole Herbert
Welcome.
I have been in the hair, health and beauty industry for over 25 years starting out as a massage therapist and then going to Cosmetology school where I learned Toni and Guy cutting methodology.
After working a few years at high end salons in the Boulder and Denver area, I was asked to work for Wella as a Color Educator and remained with them for about 10 years. I was also an educator for Sebastian, Nioxin and an in salon educator for Bumble and Bumble.
I have worked with and taken classes from the industries top artists such as The Doves, Nick Arrojo, Vidal Sasoon Team, Vivienne McKinder, Jayne Mathews, Bumble and Bumble, Stephen Moody, Aleksandar Blagojevic, Alexandra Matiz , Aubrey Loots, Anthony Cole, and Claudio Lazo.
In addition to having my own studio tucked away in North Boulder, I am an in salon educator and stylist at Olivet Salon in the Park Hill area of Denver.
My skills are diverse as I have extensive training in all things color and cutting (scissor skills, razor, curly, shags, texture). I like to work with the natural texture of the hair. Currently, I use Oway Organic styling products and R and Color in Boulder and R and Color in Denver. I like to be as natural and synthetic fragrance free as possible while still using what works for what is needed.
Valuing learning leads me to constantly invest in my own education. Not only do I attend yearly hair shows and classes, I have a Ayurved Bhishakgwara (Doctorate of Ayurveda), Licensed Massage Therapist and went to the Colorado School of Clinical herbalism,
I attribute my creativity as a stylist to my early years in Kalamazoo, Michigan studying film and art as well as all my travels to over 19 countries. I love post punk music, alternative 80’s, jazz, and indie bands as well as indie and foreign films, yoga, dancing and river tubing.
I am a proud mom of my courageous and resilient daughter Mazzy with whom my Boulder salon is named after.
