About Nichole

Stylist, educator, and CO.TE.RIE co-founder, Nichole Kreps has been making waves in the hair world since she picked up her first pair of shears at sixteen. With a career shaped by Aveda, Sassoon, and Bumble & bumble, she’s a master of effortless french girl style, blending classic glamour with a modern edge. From Cowboys & Angels to BARROW Salon, and most recently PONY studios in Oakland, she’s earned a cult following—plus a nod from Allure as a “Best of” stylist. Whether she’s behind the chair or on set, Nichole doesn’t just cut hair—she teaches her clients, transforms their hair, and leaves you feeling like a better version of yourself. Find her between Sacramento’s  DEEDA + CO.TE.RIE and Oakland’s FRANK +  LOLA salon, making magic one strand at a time.
