Nellie's philosophy in hairdressing is to create a total look by creating a foundation based on classic hair shapes and enhancing your natural color by personalizing and customizing techniques to suit each individual lifestyle.

In 2009, Nellie’s dream came true when she opened her own salon in the Pasadena Playhouse district. Her vision was to create a hair salon that was a little different from the average salon. She wanted a boutique salon that is upscale, relaxing, and inviting to all.

Nellie is passionate about her career and her main purpose is to make every client feel confident and attractive after each visit. She is dedicated, loyal, and motivated person with both clients and co-workers.
