Nikki is the heart and soul behind **Bumbolina Studio** — a passionate creative, visionary entrepreneur, and master stylist with years of experience in the beauty industry. As a hairstylist by trade, Nikki built her career one client at a time, developing a reputation for artistry, innovation, and connection.
But as her vision grew, so did her purpose.
Stepping back from behind the chair, Nikki made the bold decision to scale her business and elevate her brand. She didn't just want to style hair — she wanted to shape the future of the beauty industry. That’s when **Bumbolina** evolved into something bigger than a name — it became a *statement*, a *movement*, and most importantly, the *soul* of a company dedicated to lifting others up.
At its core, Bumbolina is about **building**, **supporting**, and **inspiring**. Under Nikki’s leadership, the brand has become a safe space for creatives in the industry to grow, dream big, and step into their own power. Whether it’s through mentorship, education, or community, Nikki has made it her mission to open doors for others while continuing to honor the craft that started it all.
Nikki’s journey from master stylist to founder and brand builder is a testament to what happens when passion meets purpose — and it’s only just the beginning.
