Master Stylist, Blonde Expert, Hair Extension Specialist
For more than two decades, Nancy Olsen—professionally known as Hair by Nancy Marie—has dedicated her life to the art of beautiful hair. What began as a passion for creativity and connection evolved into a 23-year career built on mastery, precision, and genuine care for every client who sits in her chair. Today, Nancy is recognized throughout Huntington Beach and the surrounding communities as a trusted expert in blondes, balayage, hair extensions, and customized hair transformations that reflect each individual’s unique style.
Nancy’s journey into hair began long before she ever stepped foot inside a salon. As a young woman, she found herself fascinated by the way hair could completely change someone’s confidence and energy. She saw hair not as a routine service, but as a powerful form of self-expression—one that could uplift, refine, and reinvent a person’s sense of identity. This mindset led her to pursue professional training, advanced education, and years of hands-on work under seasoned stylists who helped refine her natural talent and sharpen her technical skills.
Over the years, Nancy developed a strong reputation for her ability to create lived-in blondes, dimensional balayage, seamless tape-in extensions, beaded wefts, and soft, feminine haircuts that grow out beautifully. Her approach is rooted in honesty, transparency, and an unwavering commitment to healthy, wearable hair. She believes that great results aren’t just about trends—they’re about understanding the client, honoring their natural beauty, and crafting a look that fits effortlessly into their lifestyle.
Located inside Salon Muse at 6852 Edinger Ave in Huntington Beach, Nancy has created a warm, welcoming space where clients can relax, unwind, and enjoy a completely personalized experience. Every appointment begins with a thoughtful consultation. She takes the time to listen, evaluate the condition of your hair, understand your goals, and offer professional guidance that supports both beauty and long-term hair health. This collaborative process is one of the many reasons her clients trust her deeply and return year after year.
Nancy’s expertise extends far beyond creating beautiful color and extensions. She has an exceptional ability to make people feel comfortable, valued, and understood. Many clients describe sitting in her chair as a mix of therapy, friendship, and transformation. Her genuine personality, combined with her creative eye, creates a salon experience that feels uplifting, positive, and deeply personal. Nancy truly sees her clients—not just their hair—and she approaches every service with intention and care.
Throughout her career, Nancy has continued to invest in advanced training, new techniques, and evolving trends to ensure she delivers the highest quality results.
