About The Owner

Creative, versatile, and passionate about my craft. As a Beauty and Fashion Enthusiast and Philadelphia naïve, as long as I can remember, I have had an affinity for all things beauty and fashion.

Beauty and Fashion has always come easy to me, I cultivated my passion and love for my career by starting out as a hair stylist. As a cosmetologist with over 30 years of experience specializing in color, various types of hair textures, hair growth, barber services, hair styles, and extension services. I’ve always felt close to hair and making women look, feel confident and beautiful about themselves, but I didn’t want to just stop at hair. As a cosmetologist, I embodied the meaning. Cosmetology is both an art and science fueled by passion and desire to help others. I wanted more outside of hair, so I ventured into the fashion industry to continue my journey in making women look, feel confident and beautiful.

Prior to opening my own salon, Nikki Dean Hair Studio, I traveled to one of the biggest fashion meccas of the world, Italy. My time in Italy was spent studying fashion history and contemporary designs and immersing myself in all thing’s fashion while there. I fell in love with authentic Italian designer shoes and how the shoes were made and styled. This sparked a new journey for me, and Nikki Dean Shoes was born. I spent several years going back and forth to Italy and building my shoe business all while staying committed to doing hair and staying true to my creative eye for fashion.

Through my profession, education, and passion for fashion, I wanted to expand my interest in the fashion arena and branch out into eyewear. The launched of ND (Nikki Dean) Eyewear is here. ND Eyewear is an extension of the ND – Nikki Dean brand. The ND Eyewear brand exemplifies beauty, style, depth, and boldness through various eyewear shapes, colors, and eyewear accessories. I am very excited about this brand and look forward to bringing fashion through a necessity and beauty through your eyes with ND Eyewear.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, YOU! ~Nikki Dean
