Best decision ever to see Nicole! The blending service is amazing. My hair has never looked better. 2026 update: I have been seeing Nicole for a while now. She is the only stylist who has ever cared about my hair getting too dark from root touch ups and took it upon herself to find solutions. Very happy!

If you are looking for a hair stylist who cares as much about your well-being as your highlights, look no further than Nicole at Tease and Tonic. I go to her for lived-in blonding to cover my grays, and the results are consistently incredible—I leave looking natural, refreshed, and honestly, years younger. But the hair is just the beginning; the real reason to go is who Nicole is as a person. She is a trauma-informed hummingbird and a true client-focused healer. Drawing on her yoga training, she meets you exactly where you are, making you feel truly listened to and heard. She has even incorporated sound baths into the experience, creating a safe space where you can be honest about your goals and your spirit. From wellness and hydration advice to her calming energy, Nicole just makes things better. It’s more than a hair appointment; it’s a total reset for my well-being.

Nicole is great! She makes you feeling comfortably the moment you walk in to her salon. Her salon is relaxing, and when she offers you a Sound Bath, do it. You'll almost fall asleep She's very friendly and kind, and I always give her a hug when I leave. Also, she is very knowledgeable of what is happening in the salon industry. Not to mention, she's up to date on all the current hair trends. You'll love her!

WHY DIDN'T THE UNIVERSE BRING ME TO YOU SOONER!? Tease + Tonic is the BEST. I love that I can walk in for my appointment and it feels like I am with my best friend for two hours. Nicole is an absolute gem. She is always on time and ALWAYS works hard to make each visit special (hello, sound bath). I recommend her to all of the mamas in my village and am so proud to do so!

I just retired and decided to "grow out my grey". Well, after 40 years of box color, it went into a really brassy, two-tone, skunklike awkward phase. (No offense to skunks intended.) I asked Nicole for help grey blending and softening the demarcation line. She put on her thinking cap and did some demi color, some highlights and a conditioning toner. It looks fabulous!!! I get compliments all the time! We're going to gradually fade off the highlights and just use the toner to keep the color greyish blonde as it grows out so I don't have to endure 18 months of hats! Her cuts are great too. I'm a total klutz with blow dryer/round brush but the cut hangs so nice I'm able to style it myself!!! She's goldilocks with my bangs too--not too short, not too long. Nicole is so talented and so pleasant to hang out with. The sound bath when she washes your hair or rinses the color out is so relaxing you'll almost fall asleep. I highly recommend her and am so glad I found her!

Nicole is the BEST!! I get sooo many compliments on my hair, it’s the healthiest it’s been in years! The cut and color combo makes me feel so beautiful! Not only is she a super talented hair stylist, she also provides a serene and relaxing environment. Get the sound bath during your shampoo/ scalp massage! Amazing!! ❤️
