Philosophy
I believe in empowering my guests by educating them on the best products to use for their daily hair and skin regimen. I love sharing my knowledge and feel it is my duty to educate on the power of essential oils and how they affect the mind, body and spirit. I promise to provide you my undivided attention and listen to your needs and will only proceed with services once I fully understand your goals and needs. I am very dependable and trustworthy and have a track-record of delivering a high-end Beverly Hills like salon experience at an affordable price. Most importantly, I love what I do and how it makes others feel when they step out of my chair.
Bottom Line:
"You are my business. When you are completely happy; I am completely happy. Let me share my talent and experience with you!"
Sincerely,
Nick Flores
