Nikki Zurell- Owner/Master Stylist
I was born and raised in Connecticut. I knew when I was only 9 years old that I wanted to do hair and makeup. I started hair school when I was 16 and have been doing hair for almost 30 years now. I worked at 3 different salons through the years and did some freelance work with
modeling agencies before my husband, Todd Zurell and I decided to open our own place in 2004. We have 2 girls one works with us at the salon and the other is a mechanic, both great at what they do. I wanted to pursue this career not only because I always loved to play with hair
and makeup but because I wanted to make people feel good, look good and bring a smile to their face. I do facials as well, I have to say next to coloring hair it's my favorite thing to do. I always had problem skin as a teenager and into my 30's so I love to help people with their skin issues and I love making people relax. I can't say that when I wake up everyday I want to go to work, but as my day goes on and I can make people happy it's all worth it.
