CAROLYN NIZENKOFF

Owner, Hairstylist, Educator
@CarolynDoesHair


I'm Carolyn, owner of The Hair Studio, Corralitos. I specialize in:

  • Hair Loss and Thinning

  • Efficient Luxury Hair Color

  • Hair Extensions

  • Non-Surgical Hair Replacement

I love creating beautiful hair that works in your lifestyle, and helping you solve your hair and scalp problems. I am a certified Hair Loss Practitioner with USTI and AMCA.


I started doing hair in 2006 and I opened the salon in 2015. At home I have my husband who is a Corralitos native, our three daughters, and two wild pups. 

I got into doing hair by accident. I didn't like the classes in college, and I didn't like the job I had (selling cellphones sucked in the early 2000's). So, I decided to enroll in cosmetology school because, it was a short program and sounded kinda fun. I had no idea I'd still be doing hair and loving my career all these years later. ⁠

Since moving to Corralitos, I have fallen in love with community and small town vibe. Opening the salon made me want to really connect with the community and I have been fortunate to meet many neighbors and locals and make a lot of friends.

I feel fortunate to live, work, and raise my babies in such a wonderful community.⁠

 I'm Amy,  I specialize in

 

  • Shiny Dimensional hair color

  • Hair Extensions


I am a San Juan Bautista native, but I got my start in hair while living in Utah. I began doing hair in 2009, and took a hiatus to raise my babies. I have two wild kids who are in growing up way too fast, and are keeping me on my toes (you mamas know what I'm talking about🙄). ⁠

When I started working at The Hair Studio, Corralitos I was just getting back into hair and didn't really have a plan. Through my amazing clients I reignited my passion for my career and also found some amazing friends along the way. ⁠

Even though I don't live here in Corralitos I feel fortunate to spend my work days and some of my play days here with my clients and friends.⁠

@elevated_byemily

I am born and raised in Soquel and Aptos. I love our area and I am so excited to grow my career here. 

 

Covid really messed with my high school career, but I knew I wanted to become a hairstylist. I attended the Gavilan College Cosmetology program. My favorite services in school were haircuts and hair color. 

I am a cat 🐱 mom, and a lover of all dogs. 

When I'm not in the salon I am probably outside riding dirt bikes or camping. When I'm home I love making jewelry and knitting (but it's always a struggle keeping the cats away from the yarn).
