Meet The Owner

Hi, I’m Nika, founder of Studio Mane Hair Co.

My journey into hair extensions and hair-health restoration began in early 2022, while I was still in cosmetology school. I watched my mom — a woman who already had naturally fine, thin hair — experience devastating chemical damage after a salon service. Her hair was left less than an inch long in some areas.

I watched firsthand how deeply hair can affect the way someone sees themselves. She cried looking in the mirror, struggled with going to work and leaving the house, and called me constantly asking if there was anything we could do. We tried everything — clip-ins, tousled buns, slick-backs — anything that might help her feel like herself again.

That’s when I discovered nano tip extensions.

What started as a way to help my mom became the foundation of my career. Nano tips completely transformed her hair as it recovered, and over the years I’ve had the privilege of creating that same kind of transformation for many of my clients. Through that experience, I realized how many people with fine, thinning, fragile or damaged hair are overlooked in this industry. They’re often told, “There’s nothing we can do,” “Just let it grow,” or “Extensions aren’t a good fit for you.” Even worse, some are placed in extension methods that their natural hair simply cannot support, causing further damage.

Studio Mane was created for those clients.

My approach combines nano tip and v-light extensions, hair-health restoration, customized placement and long-term planning to create beautiful results without sacrificing the integrity of your natural hair. Whether you’re looking for fullness, length, recovering from damage or simply trying to feel like yourself again, my goal is to give you an option when you may have been told there wasn’t one.

Healthy hair will always come first. Beautiful hair follows.
