Biography

Nicola began her career in hairdressing at the age of 17 straight from school.  She did her 4-year apprenticeship in a unisex barbershop in Ellerslie for the first 2 years before moving on to a bigger salon in Manukau city centre.  Upon finishing her apprenticeship and at the age of 21 she purchased my own salon. She then had her family of 3 children and sold the salon after 6 years of business. 

Nicola began here at MIT 7 years ago.  The hairdressing world has opened many doors with courses and seminars alike.  She has travelled to Pivot Point in Australia to do a long hair course, attended many cutting, colouring and creative courses through the years at Well, Matrix and Redken.

Why I love MIT

I love that my knowledge is now being passed on to the students and seeing the connection they have with the industry. We have a great new facility that enables us to mirror our industry as best as we can.
