Meet The Artists Behind The Chair

Nikki Gray

Wife, mama, entrepreneur, and luxury hair artist based in Burlington, Ontario. I’m the founder of Bubbles & Blow, your go-to destination for elevated blonding, extensions, and wedding glam.

With over a decade in the beauty industry, I’ve built a space where self-care meets serious style. I’m also proud to be an educator for Covet & Mane and Balmain Hair Couture, helping other stylists level up their craft across Canada and beyond.

Whether I’m behind the chair creating dream hair, mentoring up-and-coming stylists, or planning glam squads for your big day—you can always count on me to bring a little extra sparkle (and a lot of dry shampoo).

Thanks for being here! Let’s make magic.

Katie Flynn

Meet Katie – Stylist & Blonde Specialist.

With over five years behind the chair, Katie brings passion, creativity, and an effortless touch of glam to every guest she works with. Her love for blonding, balayage, and formal styling started at a young age - long before she ever picked up a professional brush - watching endless YouTube tutorials and perfecting her craft on friends whenever she could.

Today, she’s known for creating soft, sun-kissed hues and timeless, romantic looks that make clients feel instantly confident. When she’s not in the salon, you can usually find her wandering the aisles of Homesense (with a latte in hand, of course!) or taking her pup for long walks along the Burlington Waterfront.

Bella Bonacci

Hi, I’m Bella! I’m an apprentice at Bubbles & Blow, and I’ve been part of the team since October — soaking up all the knowledge and hands-on experience I can!

I’m passionate about blonding, styling, and seamless extensions, and love creating soft, timeless looks that enhance your natural beauty. I’m all about those lived-in finishes and effortless vibes that grow out beautifully.

While short or edgy cuts aren’t really my thing, I specialize in longer, feminine styles that feel polished and personal.

I’m so excited to keep growing in this industry and can’t wait to see where this journey takes me—one beautiful head of hair at a time.

Kristina Tams

Hi! I'm Kristina! I moved here from Vancouver Island in 2023 and absolutely love it here. Blonding and long layered haircuts are my two passions. I love creating natural, lived-in blondes and brunettes and pairing them with a beautiful layered cut to create a little hair magic.

I'm naturally curious and love asking questions, getting to know my clients, and guiding you toward healthier hair along the way.

See you soon!

Olivia Champange

Hi, I'm Olivia! I'm an apprentice at Bubbles & Blow and have been part of the team since February. Every day is an opportunity to learn, refine my skills, and grow alongside an incredible team.

I'm especially passionate about extensions, precision cutting, and creating beautiful updos. I love watching a style take shape from the initial consultation to the finished look, whether it's adding length and volume, crafting the perfect cut, or pinning every detail into place for a timeless updo. When people ask what my plans are, my answer is usually the same - I'll be at work, doing what I love and helping women feel their absolute best.

When I'm not behind the chair, you'll usually find me walking along the lakeshore, trying a new restaurant, or curled up at home with my cats and a good book. 

For me, it's about more than just the finished style - it's about creating an experience where you feel heard, comfortable, and confident every step of the way.
