Impressively her expertise does not end there. Traveling to Los Angeles frequently for work this year Nicole became a Great Lengths certified hair extension consultant and expert. Where not only can she add extensions to a clients hair for length but for added volume, to grow out bangs, for hair color without the damage, to cover problem spots (ulopecia), or fix corrective haircuts.
What Makes Great Lengths better than other hair extensions?
My first set of hairextensions I personally had on my own head, were claimed to be the best kind to get. After discovering in photos of myself, not only could I not brush my hair with them in it only looked it's best if worn wavy. For if I decided to smooth my hair out you could see the difference of what hair was mine and what wasn't , not very attractive! So being a hairdresser myself, not only seeing extensions as another service to offer at the salon I was on the mission to discover the best of the best, and new exactly what to look for being that my own experience wasn't the best.
After researching many different brands and types of hair extensions, I discovered the Great Lengths system. I knew instantly I needed to look no further. They've been classified as the "Rolls Royce"of hair extensions and have proved that to me as well. Reason being that traditional hair extensions utilize low quality hair which is stripped of its natural cuticle layers. Making this hair prone to tangle, proves difficult to manage and perm, and dulls after only a few washings. The process by which Great Lengths are created (from sources of high quality hair) solves all these problems. Each strand is rebounded with a patented protein polymer that mimics real hair, allowing them to move and breathe with your own hair. The Great Lengths strands can also be applied in thinning areas because the attachment site is virtually impossible to detect. So if your hair isn't what you want it to be, take it there with Great Lengths... Bottom line they are simply the best!
Nicole set back out to L.A. in March where she worked back stage at the smash studios, for the fall 2008 L.A. fashion week. There she was trained and directed by the Fred Segal hair styling team to perform updo/special occasion styles on the supermodels used in the shows. Shows included clothing lines by Julia Clancey (British designer of the year).

Since becoming an Edwin Paul employee in 2000 Nicole's ambition was to be a stylist you count on to give you what you need and desire. She is a perfectionist who is totally committed to producing the very best.
Nicole has a true passion for her job and pursues it to the fullest. Knowing that in order to back up her passion, she enrolls herself into 2-3 hands on educational seminars.
A Vidal sasson graduate in 3 courses of classic and creative haircutting, she has been trained locally and internationally by the best of the sassoon academies. Sassoon educated Nicole in how to achieve the right haircut for the client by using their bone structure, face shape, and individual style. She knows how to incorporate and compliment each cut with vibrant color techniques learned through courses taken at the Schwartszkopf hair color academy. Wether it's to cover gray, to highlighting to low lighting, customizing it to the clients complexion are key in her trade skills of hair coloring.
