Nickole Jones (1975-2021) Trainee Hair Stylist Sister Nickole Jones was a force of a woman. Her tenacity and conviction for all things beautiful gave way to a very successful career as hair stylist working in both television and film.

She was nominated for a 2017 Emmy in the Outstanding Hairstyling for a Limited Series or Movie cat- egory for Big Little Lies. After a long battle with cancer, on March 25, Nickole passed on with her family by her side. Nickole is survived by her spouse, trainee hair stylist Jennifer Fierros, their four chil- dren, Rubin, Cielo, Gabriel and Michael; her parents, Cynthia and Michael; her siblings, Jenn and Kevin, and a large extended family and a tribe of loving friends.
