Meet Nikki Ray, one of the most talented stylists of her generation.

Before joining Salon 689 on Fifth Avenue, Nikki began her career at Salon AKS on the prestigious Madison Avenue in New York City. There, she completed an intensive and rigorous training program where her natural talent quickly revealed itself. Driven by passion, precision, and an unmistakable presence, Nikki refined her signature style and mastered Great Lengths hair extensions, building a devoted following along the way.
