Malerie Nielsen

Malerie always seeks to know more about herself. Over the years she has found that doing hair is an avenue for that self discovery. The opportunity to connect and dive into meaningful conversations while, simultaneously, creating beautiful hair is what has helped build her career. That is the MAGICK. It is no surprise that intention has placed the most open and wise humans in her chair. There is always room to grow, and Malerie is a natural in holding space for that.

Malerie is one of our lead color educators at co-owner at Riorose. Growing in the hair industry for nearly 20 years, Malerie started her career assisting at a Sassoon-based salon and has always embraced the geometric styles of Vidal Sassoon. She is well-versed in razor cutting and natural, lived in color. Over the years she has attended many educational classes in New York, Los Angeles and New Orleans. Malerie is always eager to learn more and pass that knowledge in the local hair community. Her passion for hair and the creative process is obvious to anyone who meets her. She finds inspiration through animals, being in nature and the changing of the seasons.

Outside of the salon, Malerie enjoys playing cowgirl, riding horses and exploring nature with her two children. Forever being a student of the earth, she continues to change and grow with every lesson.
