Welcome to NOVA Hair Studio! I look forward to meeting you! I'm Nanci, a Hairstylist & Colorist with 28 years of experience. Specializing in tailored looks for your lifestyle and unique hair care needs. I excel in lived-in dimensional color and balayage to effortlessly polished looks.   
Trained in various professional hair care lines, I stay updated on the latest trends through ongoing education. Committed to continuous learning throughout my journey, I've prioritized expanding my knowledge in this dynamic industry. I kick-started my career in Boston, where I worked in Downtown Crossing, Newbury Street, and Brookline, MA. Always attentive to my guests' hair goals, my passion lies in creatively enhancing natural beauty and allowing them to shine from within.   
NOVA Hair Studio is more than just a salon – it's a tribute to the entrepreneurial spirit that runs deep in my family. Born out of the legacy of my father's bakery, Nova Estrela, in Brazil, the studio is a nod to the roots that shaped my understanding of hard work and dedication. Growing up surrounded by that entrepreneurial spirit, I witnessed my father's unwavering commitment and perseverance. His dedication to building a thriving business left an indelible mark on my upbringing.   
From an early age, I knew I wanted to be a hairstylist. I always loved enhancing someone's natural beauty to make them feel confident from the inside out. I was determined to carve out my own entrepreneurial path. One of my first ventures at age 9, was marketing my services as the neighborhood dog walker with hand-drawn flyers and boundless determination. These early experiences laid the foundation for my future endeavors. My dad's memories of his bakery, along with visits to my cousin's bakery in Ludlow, created a vibrant backdrop for my childhood. These experiences ignited a passion for the world of business and instilled in me the values of determination and resilience.   
NOVA Hair Studio is more than a hair salon; it's a dream come true of the lessons learned in those early days. Each guest reflects not only the passion of creativity but also the entrepreneurial spirit that has been passed down through generations in my family. My fondest memories revolves around those bakery visits with my father. The joy of choosing a cupcake from the array of tempting treats symbolizes the sweet journey that led to the creation of NOVA Hair Studio. This establishment is not just a business; it's a celebration of heritage, hard work, and the joy of creating something meaningful.
