I was looking for a great hair stylist who would know what they were doing with curly hair and I found her! Nicole was amazing . She brought my dead curls back to life and walked me through every step of the way. I would highly recommend going . She helped me fall in love with my thick curly hair again and helped me understand what products I need to get myself to keep it going . Her studio is very cute and comfortable. Will definitely be going back !

Wow Nicole does such an amazing job with hair and guides you through the process of styling your hair. She is so knowledgeable about curls and it’s like getting a tailored tutorial for your curl type. I learned what products are best for my curl type and how much product I should be using. She showed me everything from styling when wet, how to diffuse the hair, and defining the curls. She even had me feel the hair with product in it so I knew what the right amount of product would feel like. I feel so much more confident about taking care of my curls and know what routine and products are right for me as well as how to refresh my curls. Nicole is great and truly cares about teaching you about your curls and what works best for them. My curls look so much better and I am so thankful I went to Nicole and definitely recommend it!

Nicole did such an amazing job on my hair !! From the moment I walked in she made me feel very welcomed and got to understand what my end goal was for my hair. She went above and beyond with it and I can’t wait to go back for more services with her!

Amazing! Love my new cut and left with great tips for styling my curly hair. Best curly hair expert I have worked with here in Pensacola for an affordable rate for what you get. She is friendly and professional. In a home based salon with separate building in the back that is safe, quiet, and peaceful. Thank you Nicole! You have a new client for sure!

I’m going to miss Nicole so much! I started seeing her over two years ago when I see first moved to Pensacola and she’s the first person who truly took the time to teach me how to style my curly hair. She offers a lot of other great services as well, but my curls have never looked better than after visiting her!

I just had my first scalp, head, neck and facial spa treatment. Nicole made every moment so relaxing and truly soothing. This experience was such a treat! One I truly look forward to again! Nicole uses spa products from Italy that smell fabulous. Any questions you have about the line Nicole is very knowledgeable and educational about each product and the value for your scalp and hair. I feel so lucky to have found Nicoles salon. Schedule a scalp spa treatment with Nicole. I guarantee you it will not be your first and last. Nicole also served this lovely floral tea that just top off the whole experience beautifully! Thank you Nicole, Ill be back! 😊

She is absolutely amazing! If anyone walks out with a cut or style they do not like it is strictly their own fault. She spent a lot of time with me making sure that I was on board each step of the way. She explained everything she was doing and why she was doing it. My hair has NEVER looked this good and I’ve never gotten my curls to be nearly as curly on my own.

Review 8 (2024-12-13 - Rating: 5)
I had a great experience! Nicole did exactly everything I wanted and she continued to confirm with me of how much I wanted my hair to be cut throughout. She shared lots of tips of how to take care of my hair specifically, and she is very knowledgeable about what she does. I would definitely recommend!

Nicole is the best! She was so committed and to took the time to fix my hair and really care about my hair. I currently libe in TX and i come here in Pensacola every 2 months and ive decided she will the only one can touch my hair from now on!

I enjoyed my appointment with Nicole so much! For years I have wanted to go to a place where I could get a curly haircut. I am so glad that I found Nicole’s website. She took the time to find out what I wanted, then she cut it dry so that she could follow the curl pattern. Then after washing she cut it wet just a little. She showed me how to style it and took the time to dry my hair with a diffuser. She listened to what I wanted and made suggestions. I plan on going back when I need a shape up!

Review 11 (2025-03-01 - Rating: 5)
She was super sweet and very knowledgeable about her products. We had a discussion about what I was looking for and she made suggestions as to what would be best in terms of working towards my goal with my curly hair. She also provided tips on how to maintain my curly hair. 10 out of 10 I would recommend.

Nicole is amazing and so talented! Her studio is cozy and chic. It’s a wonderful atmosphere. I will happily drive a hour away just to get my hair cut and styled by her. She knows how to do curls! I took my mom in and she is now a committed customer and loves her new hairstyle.

Review 13 (2024-03-29 - Rating: 5)
Ms.Nicolee is THE hair queen!! She does the best curly cuts on me. She makes sure to walk you through every step on how to achieve the look you want ( she’s a very educational woman). Her studio is very welcoming & always supper clean. Every time Ive come I leave feeling brand new & refreshed! I highly recommend checkin her out for your next cut, coloring, or whatever you want.-The photos below are before & after.

It is always a scary challenge to find a hair stylist when you move to a new state. I consider myself very lucky to have found Nicole right off! She knows just what to do to bring out the natural curls and keep them manageable. Also, I love the relaxed atmosphere of Nicole’s salon. It is so comfortable and welcoming! Thank you, Nicole, for a great cut and style!!

Review 19 (2024-09-03 - Rating: 5)
Absolutely Awesome experience!! I have curly hair & had been blow drying & using a big curling iron to make it straight, curled at the ends. I decided that I wanted to wear it natural, and cut in some layers. I picked Nichole because she had a 5 star rating. She was very meticulous about getting the cut for me, and she taught me the whole way through about what products to use when, how to get the best curls without frizz, & how to maintain it until the next shampooing. I am so grateful for finding her!

Review 20 (2025-04-24 - Rating: 5)
Nicole did a fabulous job! I had a vague idea of “must haves” and “absolutely nots” and she was able to craft a cut that is perfect for me.

Review 21 (2024-10-31 - Rating: 5)
Nicole was so knowledgeable and friendly! She tailored the entire experience to me (including shampoo/conditioner) and showed me step by step with a detailed explanation on how to manage my curls.

Review 22 (2024-07-29 - Rating: 5)
Nicole did an amazing job on a curly cut for my little sister. My sister has long, thick curls and had never had a proper curly cut or much of her hair cut. Nicole did an amazing job listening to what she wanted and walking her through the entire process. Nicole also educated her on hair styling and care. The curls look amazing. Highly recommend Nicole!!

Review 23 (2024-06-14 - Rating: 5)
Nicole is amazing! I had such a great experience, she took her time to get to know my hair and gave thorough instructions on how to style and manage it. My curls have never looked better!

Nicole was absolutely amazing. I did a head spa treatment with her today and I feel like my scalp has been very lovingly handled exfoliated and treated so that it can maintain its healthy lifestyle. Thank you so much Nicole for your time.

Review 25 (2024-08-21 - Rating: 5)
I highly recommend Nicole Ely! I was referred to her through a social media post as a professional for curly/wavy hair, and she did not disappoint. I felt very cared for in the way she listened to my detailed description of what I was looking for, took her time to explain how this cut would truly look on me based on my hair type, searched an Instagram profile whose hair I wanted to emulate, and meticulously cut and styled my hair. I could not be happier! Highly recommend!

Review 26 (2024-05-04 - Rating: 5)
This was one of the best experiences Ive had getting my hair cut. Nicole was so friendly, and actually listened to what I wanted - which sounds easy enough but is shockingly hard to find a stylist that will listen and execute what you ask. She also asked my input throughout the process to make sure I liked it. My curls feel refreshed and bouncy, with lots of movement instead of just a single layer now. Im so happy I found her and will definitely return!

Nicole always brings my curls to life and is willing to put in her expert opinion while respecting my wants. She walks through the process step by step and is excellent with curly hair.Update! I just received the head spa treatment with scalp analysis and it was so relaxing. Nicole was great about explaining what products she was using and why and my scalp and head feel so good. 100/10 recommend. Treat yourself.

Review 29 (2024-10-25 - Rating: 5)

One of the best curly haircuts my kid has received. Nicole took the time to go over her texture, routine, and products and gave invaluable advice about how to care for her unique pattern. We’re so happy to have found a curl expert.

Review 31 (2024-02-16 - Rating: 5)
Nicole’s new Studio is so cute and relaxing. She does such a great job educating how to keep my hair healthy and it is always brings me such joy to see how shiny my hair is when I leave. She took my hair from dry, damaged, and dull to bright, long, and healthy. Nicole installed extensions last year and helped me learn how to make them last.

Review 32 (2024-08-28 - Rating: 5)

I’ve been going to Nicole for quite a while now! She’s always been super friendly and does an AMAZING job!

Ladies, if you want a relaxing and royal treatment, I highly recommend Nicole Elys head spa treatment. It starts with a high magnification scalp analysis, followed by an hour (theres a 30 minute option as well) of luxurious scalp massage with essential oils and shampoos, a steam treatment and water therapy. Take my word for it and schedule a session Also, Nicole is a terrific hair stylist!!!

Review 43 (2024-01-24 - Rating: 5)
Nicole is awesome! I first came to her after a terrible dye job, and she was miraculously able to fix my hair and get it back to looking natural and healthy. Her salon is so cute and fun!

Felt like I was her only client and it was a “members only” club! I love seeing all of the posts and I echo them. Curly or straight, dyed or fried — Nicole can take it on and does not ever complain or judge about any of it.
