Talk about a scroll-stopper 🤍🪩☁️

I loved creating this look and I want to do it more - so if you’re in AZ and this lands on your feed AND you fit the parameters I’ve listed…

DM me, let’s gooooo

Would you rock this platinum blonde bob?

What a special trip home full of my fav people and places 🤍🥹

Can we talk about how emotional it is to come home and everything is the same, but also different?

By the time I leave I’m so exhausted from all the go go go, but my cup is overflowing with so much love.

I feel so grateful, but also somber. Excited for the next time I’ll see everyone, while wondering if it might be the last time I see some. 💔

Coming home and not having my dog greet me made me sob.

Family drama, confused grandparents. 🤣

No rain for once - just sunshine and no makeup.

Seeing clients of 10 years for their wedding color. The tightest hugs and “I love yous”.

THE FOOD. God, I swear we’re the only Italians in the desert and it’s my biggest complaint. NY d***s have charcuterie fixings on demand, and that should be a law.

Enjoying coffee at new places with old friends like no time has passed.

As many classes with my mom as we could

Watching my friends become parents is surreal.

Celebrating a holiday with my family and Sal’s, laughing until our freakin faces hurt.

It feels so small now, but in the most comforting way ever? NY will always be home, and being away makes the visits back that much sweeter 🤍

MUCH LOVE YALL

Fun fact: had I not gone to hair school I would have probably aimed for a PhD in Psychology. (I’m all or nothing ok🤣)

I asked for a DSM as my hs graduation present 🥲

I’m obsessed with learning about how the brain operates, especially the inner workings of the subconscious mind. So much of who we identify as is rooted in beliefs that might not even belong to us.

Between the books I read, the content I consume, and my experience as a hairstylist over the last decade - I’ve learned a great deal on how to effectively communicate with people. I also find that I’m extremely open minded, and instead of passing judgement I lean into curiosity.

I LOVE getting to know people, listening to them. Getting a glimpse into their souls. I know that sounds deep but it’s true and it lights me tf up

Personally I think there’s so much value in learning psychology, especially as a hairstylist or salon owner. It will help you to expand your own mind as an entrepreneur, while giving you a better understanding of those you’re working with.

Hairstylists - do you find this topic interesting?

You know what’s out?? If IG or Canva trashes the quality of my pics, I’m just gonna post anyways because I don’t have endless hours to spend on this sh*t anymore 😂

I’m so done with trying to make everything perfect. Progress over perfection. That was one of my biggest take aways from 2024. I had to unlearn A LOT

Also I drastically shifted my mental state from forcing myself to do things out of low self esteem, to now wanting to do things out of self love.
(Ex. Excessively altering my diet and forcing myself to do intense work outs vs intuitively eating and listening to my body because that’s what actually makes me feel good)

And a bunch of other things that I’ll mention later, because does anyone even read captions for this long anyways??

Who else just wants to post with creativity and ease, rather than to appease an algorithm or sell something? 👇🏽

A very west coast Christmas dump

This year looked a lot different for us. Full transparency, not seeing your family on the holidays kinda sucks.

HOWEVER, it was so cool to do something totally different - we enjoyed spending time in CA with friends, ate some BOMB food, did some yoga, laughed our asses off, and grambi got to run free on the beach!

I think we hold so tight onto expectations of what the holidays should look like, at least I always have. 2024 has been the year of learning how to gracefully surrender. It’s ok for no two holidays to be the same, don’t be so hard on yourself.

Be present in the moment, embrace a new experience, honor how you feel, and hold past memories close. And if you are lucky enough to see your family, give everyone an extra squeeze 🫶🏼

Xx
Nikki, Sal + Grambi

Did you make it home for the holidays?

n.m the brand
nature is my muse - your natural beauty is my canvas.
let’s make art ✨

I’m really enjoying getting back into the flow of creativity. When we don’t have a moment to just exist it can take a back seat and become stifled.

Being present in the moment in new places has reminded me that inspiration is all around us, and we’re all artists of our own design ✨
