Casey Taylor

Manager / Stylist

From a young age, I have been passionate about hairstyling, often being the go-to friend for hairdos within my circle. A decade ago, after relocating to Ocala, I promptly enrolled in cosmetology school, embarking on a fulfilling journey in the beauty industry.

My commitment to professional growth is evident through collaborations with esteemed hairstylists and advanced training, including specialized color courses from Milk_Shake. Additionally, I have achieved certifications in Brazilian Blowout treatments and Great Lengths hair extensions, enhancing my ability to offer diverse services to my clients.

Operating the Diamond Salon Ocala suite has further honed my skills and deepened my dedication to delivering exceptional hair services. I specialize in Highlights, Color Treatments, Brazilian Blowout Treatments, Great Lengths Hair Extensions, and precision haircuts, striving to provide each client with a personalized and satisfying experience.

Beyond the salon, I cherish exploring new activities, especially at the beach, accompanied by my loyal canine companions, Bullet and our latest addition, Caliber.

I am committed to continuous learning and staying abreast of industry trends to ensure my clients receive the highest quality service.

Nikki Howze

Stylist

Hi I’m Nikki! My love for hair goes as far back to when I was just old enough to hold a hairbrush. Managing my own curly hair has taught me about the structure of hair, and what the hair needs to remain moisturized and healthy. I always knew I wanted to be a cosmetologist. I have been licensed since 2019. I am 23 years old, and I am committed to keeping up with the new hair trends and techniques. Although I love all hair types, curly hair is something I specialize in. Curly cutting to create shape in your overall style and maintaining healthy ends. Also, hair color that is going to enhance and define your curls in a safe process. I look forward to meeting new clients and servicing returning clients!

I’ve always loved doing hair. I’ve always been the friend who does the hair at any event. I love seeing people fall back in love with themselves, and the joy it brings them. I love the confidence they get back from it. I’ve been doing it professionally now for two years! I love foiling, I love blonding. Foiling is like my therapy. I enjoy the vivids and I can’t wait to dive into extensions! If I’m not doing hair, I’m with my family. I’ve been with my high school sweetheart for the last 16 years and we have two children together! A 9-year-old boy and 7-year-old girl. We are a soccer family as well, so we stay busy! And I’m 30!
