Celeb hairstylist Nikki Nelms once glued googly-eyes to Janelle Monáe's hair, but you'll want to try her tips and tricks on your everyday looks too
, hairstylist Nikki Nelms’s approach is anything but ordinary. “When I’m doing hair, I love to use the things around me, to let the moment tell me what to do,” she says. “That’s why I’m not a big prep person. If everything in my kit doesn’t work, it’s fine. I get an adrenaline rush, and I’m forced to figure it out.” Case in point: When stumped for ideas at a photo shoot, Nelms wandered over to the nail technician’s table.
Growing up in St. Petersburg, Fla., Nelms graduated from practicing on her Cabbage Patch doll to working on her fellow high schoolers and even the staff. “My mother would ask me, ‘Why is your Spanish teacher coming to the house to get her hair done?'" Later, when Nelms found herself prioritizing her friends’ trims over her college classes, she decided to leave school and eventually took beauty-academy courses and entered hair-show competitions.
