Meet Nichole

Hey, I’m Nichole Thevenin—wife, mama, and owner of Salon Aurelia.
Before I found my calling behind the chair, I worked in my family’s retail and wholesale business in Seal Beach, CA. It gave me a strong foundation in customer service and entrepreneurship. A friend in the industry introduced me to the world of hair, and once I got started, I knew I’d found the perfect blend of creativity and connection.

When I’m not in the salon, you’ll usually find me listening to fantasy or rom-com audiobooks, catching up on the latest streaming series, or talking shop with my husband—we both run our own businesses. I’m always up for a great book or show recommendation, and I love chatting about them with clients in my chair.

My approach to hair? Effortless but elevated.
I specialize in dimensional color that delivers that “done” look while staying low-maintenance. My goal is for you to love your hair every day—not just on salon day. I’ll always be real with you about what works best for your lifestyle, face shape, and hair health.

– I teach you what I’m doing and why
– I give honest guidance over trendy hype
– I plan for healthy, beautiful hair now and long-term
– I stay current so you always get the best results

If you’re looking for lived-in color that feels polished and practical, you’re in the right chair. Let’s create something beautiful—together.
