NATALIE NIGHTENGALE

I’m an effortless, elevated blonding and extension specialist with 10 years behind the chair. I’m also an individual educator, teaching my blonding and bronding techniques in one-on-one sessions. Based in Central California, I’m a minimalist who loves modern, aesthetic, luxury-forward style — and I tend to create color that reflects that sensibility.

I went to beauty school at Paul Mitchell in San Diego, originally planning to focus on makeup but quickly falling in love with hair. I was taught by some of the best cutting and color specialists, then moved back home to launch my career. Today I work with leading hair brands and am collaborating with K18 on in-person education — a partnership I’ll be expanding as I continue teaching live.

Outside the salon, I’m a wife and mom of two boys. I’ve traveled across the country and will be traveling throughout the U.S. next year to train stylists in my approach to effortless, soft blonding.
