Nick Arrojo
With thirty-plus years as a hairdresser, Nick has become a modern icon of the industry. His signature razor-cutting technique is recognized and practiced worldwide. It is part of a modern and creative, precision-based hairdressing method pioneered by Nick, and designed to create fashion-forward, beautiful, wearable hair for clients, while offering creative freedom and versatility to stylists.
A revered hairdresser, educator, and leading light in the business Nick can boast exposure in the worldâs best magazines, work with the worldâs top fashion designers, and seven years as hairdressing host for TLCâs âWhat Not to Wear. He is an author and mentor and, through ARROJO education, he shares his insights and inspirations with tens of thousands of fellow professionals each year.
Originally from Manchester, England, Nickâs career began at Vidal Sassoon, where he became their youngest ever Creative Director. Later, he worked for Wella, London, before taking the position of Director of Education at the eminent New York salon, Bumble & Bumble, in 1994.
September 2001 brought the realization of Nickâs lifelong dream as ARROJO opened its doors for the first time. Today, the salon is a multi-award-winning, multi-location brand recognized around the world for excellence, integrity, and commitment to the art and craft of hairdressing.
