Inspiring Conversations with Nicolas Flores of FLORE Los Angeles

Today we’d like to introduce you to Nicolas Flores.

Hi Nicolas, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I have been in the industry for over 13 years. With a commitment to learning from the best and a trait of perfectionism, I honed my skills at world renowned salons under LA’s top stylists. I never said no to anything. I worked hard to build a loyal clientele during the rise of social media, including A-listers and tastemakers. My career came full circle when my partner, Paul, and I decided to create something of our own – this was when FLORE was born.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Minor things arose along the way to opening the salon within a time crunch time of 4-6 months, but otherwise it was a pretty smooth process. After designing our home and a few other projects, I knew exactly what I wanted for Flore.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about FLORE Los Angeles?
FLORE is a luxury hair salon based in West Hollywood. Our goal is was to change the culture of salon world and curate an experience that is different than other salons. From customer experience to the salon aesthetic and a expert stylists, we provide an elevated, unique experience from the moment a guest steps in the door to the moment they leave.

I specialize in hair cutting. I am known for my dry cuts, from long effortless layers to chic short bobs, finished with sleek blowouts.

All stylists have a skillset that makes them shine. I personally strive to create exceptionally detailed work – everything I do in my craft is highly focused. I also strive to provide a certain customer experience.

My team is what I’m most proud of. I have hand selected a team of really talented stylists that I’ve organically connected with throughout the years at salons and through clients.

We wanted to build a space that people look forward to coming to, where they feel part of something special. Every element within the FLORE brand is carefully crafted to make each guest feel valued and serene, from decor to guest experience to expert service.

We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
I love interior design and landscape design. It is a creative pursuit outside of hair that I have come to do on the side, for myself, friends, and clients.
