After working many years in a traditional salon setting, we were ready for something new. We wanted to offer an upgraded, more comfortable experience for our guests. And so, CoraBella was born! We are thrilled to provide a one-on-one experience that we find is beneficial in so many ways. It allows us more privacy to focus on our guests and their needs and provides a more tranquil environment for your essential self-care time. It also allows us to be much more in control of the safety and sanitation of our environment, which is so vital in our current climate.  
 
Our goal is to indulge our guests with excellent service, a fantastic experience, and beautiful results. We are delighted to share our vision and CoraBella, with our clients, friends, and family! ​

​Where did "CoraBella" come from?

​Meet Cora, Nikki's daughter! She named the business after her daughter because her family is her inspiration. She chose Bella because it means beautiful in so many languages, and our goal at CoraBella is to make you feel beautiful in every way.

Meet the team

Nikki
Nikki has been a stylist since 2003.  She enjoys all of the services she offers, but updos are her favorite.  She has styled hundreds of clients for weddings, prom, and other special occasions.  Updos give her the opportunity to use her creativity and artistry to transform your hair into a unique work of art. Nikki has also won The Knot's Best of Weddings award for her work for three years in a row so far.
Nikki graduated Scot Lewis School in 2003. Her formative training includes a 3-day haircolor master class at the Redken Exchange in New York. The knowledge Nikki gained at "Color and Know Why" changed how she colors hair to this day.  It's given her a complete understanding of how color works on each individual's hair from the inside out, taking the guesswork out of formulation.
An appointment with Nikki is a comfortable, collaborative experience.  You will feel heard when you are in her chair.  From a total makeover to routine maintenance, her objective is to fulfill your wishes - no judgement.
​When she is not behind the chair, Nikki is a stay at home mom to two beautiful children 7 year old Camden and 5 year old Cora.
