Nikkita officially started her career in Pasadena, CA after graduating as a Phase 2 student at Paul Mitchell the School in July 2024. However, her interest and passion for hair and creativity started much earlier. As a high school student, she was able to do her older sister's hair and allowed to get creative with colors, placements, and styling. As she gained confidence, she extended that exploration to herself and credits her hair with playing a big role in finding her style as a person. Nikkita specializes in working with different hair textures and lavered cuts and is most passionate about vivid and creative colors. She loves being able to meet different people and learn about their different experiences and use that knowledge to help people express themselves through their hair.
