I only recall one traumatizing haircut in my life, back when the Heather Locklear “feathered” look was the trend. I was bitter, cried and wore a hat for days! Fortunately, I’ve recovered and am now a girl that easily tires of having the same look. Presently, I’m a very bold and oh-so-sassy shade of red.
Richard Nicholas has been my trusted salon for years. The studio is 2-floors of modern, sleek and streamlined design (much like their hair). The color palette is grey, silver and black with an occasional pop of colorful fresh-cut flowers. There are spotlights, tiled walls, mirrors, televisions and silver fans throughout. Typically, the music playing is soothing, yet upbeat lounge.
In addition to the cool, urban decor, what makes this family-run salon so attractive truly is the staff. Instantly, their energy is welcoming and pleasant and you’ll quickly realize their professionalism and credentials as well. Richard Nicholas provides that perfect mix of modern design, without feeling frigid and an ease in knowing you’ll get an amazing haircut. The salon attracts a varied clientele and prices are the same no matter what length your hair.
Owner, Nick Berardi, is a master of the art, his precision is impeccable and cuts are like no other. Joe Matteo is simply a color genius. I always let him decide what we’ll do next and love the reveal of his creations. Watching them work is mesmerizing, their perfectionism is something I truly appreciate, especially when it comes to my hair.
Richard Nicholas is everything a salon experience should be, an enjoyable, relaxing atmosphere, great conversation, and most importantly, an amazing new head of hair. I always leave ready to hit the town and I know it’s a skillful haircut when people are still complementing me long after I’m overdue for a new one. Call Helen to make an appointment today and get ready for a brand new fabulous you!
Tip: they offer hours on Sunday and Monday and services are currently 20% off those days
