When not at the salon I enjoy spending time with my daughters.

I graduated from the Arthur Angelo School of Cosmetology in 2009. From there I began my professional career and eventually joined the team at Uptown Salon. I Have always known I wanted to be a hairdresser since I was a little kid. I love everything I do, from cutting, coloring, and highlighting, to updos. I would say my favorite head of hair is working on a natural "sunkissed" balayage. I continue to further my career by learning new techniques and trends. I am always looking to expand my knowledge and come back to the salon after a class to try on my clients. In May of 2022, I was certified in the Ouidad cut and style for clients with curly hair. As an Ouidad professional, I offer a comprehensive curl-focused service through various techniques for each curl pattern. I truly take pride in my work and most of all how I make my guests look and feel about themselves. I enjoy spending time with my two beautiful daughters.

I consider myself very fortunate to be in a career where I can do the things I love, such as transforming hair through the application of bold and vivid fashion colors. I'm part of a team of knowledgeable professionals that encourage and support each other. I started at Uptown after graduating from Toni & Guy Cosmetology School and right away I was introduced to a variety of different techniques, great personalities, and tons of exposure to everything hair. I also took over ordering the color product which is not a small task, but it taught me a lot about our color line and has helped me gain experience and confidence. As the Kerastase Ambassador, I am the go-to person for styling product questions, not only for clients, but I also take the lead in educating our team on new product launches. You might see me working as a Guest Service Expert sometimes too. I am trained to book reservations and I love to let our guests know about other service options in our Spa.  At Uptown I've built a reputation for fashion color application, and while this is something I love, I also appreciate my guests who prefer more natural looks. I've learned from the best here at Uptown, so I can provide a full range of hair colors and cuts to my guests. When I'm not here I'm spending time with my horses at my family farm in Connecticut, and I'm looking forward to a life balanced with work and travel adventures. I've already traveled to 32 states and 2 other countries!

I grew up in Westerly, RI and attended Empire Cosmetology School in Warwick. There I learned skills for how to do hair, nails and also became certified in lash extensions. For the last 3 years I've been honing my capabilities and adopting the latest techniques to bring my clients what's new and exciting in trends. My focus is the guest's comfort, health, and ensuring that the services I deliver last as long as possible. I love the diversity of my job because each day I get to welcome back returning guests, and also meet new interesting people. When at Uptown I am most often providing nail services or blow out hair services. Because I have naturally curly hair, I've spent my whole life figuring out how to style and treat raucous waves. It's something I excel at!

Since I was little I was playing with Barbie dolls and doing their hair. I’ve always had a strong passion for cosmetology throughout my life. As I entered the Westerly high school I knew cosmetology was the correct path for me. I find joy in making other people feel confident about themselves, and seeing smiles as they walk out of the salon pleased with their results. At the start of my senior year I started working at Uptown Salon and Spa. I watched stylists wash, cut, and color clients' hair. I constantly practiced at the salon and at the school with foils, consultations, cuts, and more. As I graduated from Westerly High I have come to the realization that hair is truly what I would like to pursue. As my days are booked with clients I continue to gain more knowledge and skills on a variety of hair types and styles. When I’m not working at Uptown,  I like to go to the beach to relax with friends and family, and I also love to dress up and go out to eat.

Ever since I can remember, I have enjoyed styling my friends and family's hair and have found so much joy in it. This passion led me to pursue a career in the hair industry, and I enrolled in the cosmetology program at the Chariho Career and Technical Program. It was there that I discovered my love and passion for doing hair. I enjoy expanding my knowledge by exploring various techniques and styles others share, continuously seeking to learn and grow. One of the things I love most is having the ability to make someone else feel beautiful and confident once they leave my chair.

Hi! I'm Nina…a Rhode Island native with a big love for all things hair. I’ve been working in the hair Industry for close to 3 years. I received my training and graduated from the Aveda Institute in Jacksonville, Florida. Although I’m just starting, hair has always been my true passion. I love helping people feel like the best version of themselves—whether it’s through a fresh cut, some beautiful color and highlights, or even just a really great style. There’s nothing better than seeing someone light up when they see themselves transformed in the mirror.
