"Nikkie always does my nails beautifully and perfectly down to the last detail. If I show her a design I like, she not only recreates it, but often makes it even better! Glitter, sharks, Harry Potter characters, Christmas trees with sparkly ornaments—nothing is too crazy for her. And on top of that, it’s always a great vibe at Nik’s. In short: professional, creative, and simply the best!"

"I've been witnessing Nikkie’s nail artistry for several years now, and I’m certain that few people can match her level of skill and expertise! Every appointment is a moment of relaxation with great conversation and flawless results. New salon, same magic! In a world full of choices, following Nikkie was a no-brainer. Don’t hesitate to book an appointment—your nails will thank you!"

"My nails have been in top condition ever since I started getting them done by Nikkie. Sometimes we go all out with an elaborate design, and other times we keep it simple with a single color. What I love is that Nikkie leaves the choice completely up to you, and you really feel free to go with whatever you like. I never thought I could have beautiful, strong, long nails of my own—but thanks to Nikkie, I do!"

"Nikkie never shies away from a challenge and actively thinks along to turn her clients’ wild ideas into stunning creations. Her cat eyes are truly next level!"

Nikkie has brought so much joy to my life by giving my ‘little canvases’ the attention and sparkle they were craving. And while my nails were undergoing a drastic makeover every few weeks, I had lots of fun with the artist! So a ten-fold thank you!

"For years, I was a very happy client of Nikkie’s. If I lived closer, I absolutely still would be. She’s a true artist—at every level of polish, she transforms your nails into little works of art you’d almost want to frame. But what truly sets her apart is her blend of craftsmanship, humor, and dedication. Nikkie isn’t just incredibly fun to be around—she has an amazing sense for what her clients need and always goes the extra mile to make sure you leave feeling radiant and happy. A top stylist and an even more wonderful person."

"I always really look forward to going to Little Canvas! Nikkie isn’t just an amazing nail tech, she’s also a lovely, funny, and super creative person with the best ideas. Thanks to her, my nails are in top condition and stay beautiful for weeks. I honestly wouldn’t want to go without her—she’s simply the best!"

"Nikkie is truly the best! She’s super friendly, incredibly knowledgeable about nail care, full of ideas for amazing nail art, and always makes sure your nails look absolutely perfect.

At The Little Canvas, you don’t just leave with beautiful nails—you also get to enjoy a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I walk out every time with a big smile and flawless nails."

"I’ve been going to Nikkie for years with great pleasure. My nails always look beautiful and are well taken care of. On top of that, it’s always a fun and friendly atmosphere. Truly a gem for Haarlem!"

"I prefer to have my gel nails done by Nikkie.

She’s so precise! And the nails she creates are stronger and stay beautiful the longest.

I’ll keep coming to her—even if I have to travel a long way!"

Every 4 to 5 weeks, I look forward to my appointment with Nikkie. She’s not only incredibly kind, thoughtful, and fun to be around, but also a true professional with a great eye for detail. My nails are perfectly polished every single time—from clean single-color looks to subtle or creative designs that completely match my style.

​

In the beginning, I mostly chose natural, soft shades, but when I was about to leave for a trip to France, she gently encouraged me to try a bold, vibrant red. Since then, I’ve felt more confident choosing color—always trusting her advice. She really thinks along with you: your style, what suits you, and what fits the occasion. For my grandmother’s 90th birthday, for example, she created gorgeous pink nails with a soft ombré effect from light to dark at the tips. So stylish!

​

One of her masterpieces was a watercolor-style flower—refined, unique, and so beautiful I still find myself looking back at photos of it. Her French tips, too, are incredibly natural and elegant.

​

What I maybe appreciate most is her attention to the health of your nails. She knows exactly what she’s doing, gives honest advice, and even refers you to someone else if needed. You feel completely at ease with her, and you always leave with beautiful, well-cared-for nails—and a smile. I recommend her to absolutely everyone!"

"I love going to Nikkie for my nails, because I can always count on them turning into a little work of art. Even something that seems simple, like a natural BIAB, gets her full attention—she notices every little detail, and I’m always super happy with the result."

Nikkie has been doing my nails for two years now. They are healthier and stronger than ever and there is no challenge she won't face. Different techniques, complex art, breaks and tears, she is all up for the task! Always well prepared and proactive in sharing ideas.
If you are looking for a high skilled perfectionist with great communication skills, Nikkie is the nail expert for you.

"To me, Nikkie is more than just a nail stylist. I always look forward to our appointments. Whether I come in with a clear idea of what I want or total decision stress, whether I arrive cheerful or in need of someone to talk to—I always leave with amazing nails and a better mood.

And not unimportant: you’re quite literally in good hands. Nikkie knows exactly what she’s doing, she has the knowledge and the skill, and she always delivers top-quality results."

"Getting my nails done by Nikkie is always a lovely experience—not just because of her fantastic work, but also because of the fun and easy conversations we have. She always understands exactly what I want, and the result is perfect every single time. Super neat, long-lasting, and beautifully finished!"

"Nikkie is fantastic! For almost four years now, she’s been making sure my nails look amazing. She’s knowledgeable, answers all my questions, and takes her time to go over designs with me. (And even though we often go for a similar look, it somehow always feels fresh and different.) She works neatly and with great precision, and I know that after every appointment, my nails will look flawless."

"For almost three years now, I’ve been getting a BIAB treatment from Nikkie. She works quickly and precisely, and always checks with great care afterward to make sure the shape is perfect and that I haven’t accidentally bumped my finger or thumb against the lamp. On top of her fast and flawless work, it’s always a lovely time—we laugh, swap recipes, and I get treated to a delicious cappuccino.

​

I’ll never go to anyone else, and every month I look forward to my BIAB with Nikkie!"

"Getting my nails done by Nik is always a treat. Not only does her work last incredibly long, but she’s also so much fun to spend time with while she works her creative magic on your hands. I’m so happy she can turn my vague ideas into the perfect nails. 10/10 would recommend!"

Hi! My name is Julia, and I’ve been a client of Nikkie’s for 3.5 years now. For years, I bounced from one nail stylist to another, searching for the right one—until I finally found the expert when it comes to nails.

​

Since then, I’ve been so happy with her work that I now drive from Amsterdam to Haarlem every three weeks—gladly! What really stood out to me from the start was that Nikkie doesn’t use an electric file. Instead, she takes her time to carefully remove the product by hand, and that made all the difference for me.

​

On top of that, we just really click. Nikkie is super flexible, always thinks along with you, and does her best to fit you in whenever possible. Thanks to her, I’ve looked forward to my nail appointments for years now.

​

P.S. If you oil your nails regularly, it makes Nikkie extra happy!

I went to Nikkie to have my gel nails done.  After 9 years at the same person abroad, I hesitated to try someone new. Nikkie allayed my fears. She is efficient, creative and meticulous in the way she does nails.  Her nail art is beautiful.  She listened to me and I was extremely happy with how she did my nails.  I would recommend Nikkie to anyone unreservedly.

"Nikkie is the best. She has a perfect sense of what you want, while staying true to her own style and giving great advice. From start to finish, your nails are cared for beautifully, and her designs are always to die for. I’m more than happy to travel from Amsterdam to Haarlem for her."

"Quality and creativity—Nikkie has it all! What I especially appreciate is how she can not only bring my ideas to life, but actually make them even better. I always get such positive reactions to my nails.

​

It truly makes me happy, and I gladly travel from Leiden for it!"

"Nikkie is the nail expert you need in your life! Every single time, she delivers perfection—my nails look stunning, stay beautiful for weeks, and I often get compliments on them. She’s not only super professional and precise, but also a genuinely lovely and warm person. Appointments with her are always relaxed and fun.

I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for top quality, beautiful products, and a great atmosphere."

"Nikkie has been my go-to nail tech for almost four years now, and honestly, I couldn’t do without her! Every set she creates is stunning—and even when I have no idea what I want, we always come up with something beautiful and unique together. My favorite set? The custom Harry Potter/Christmas nails!

​

I get so many compliments on my nails, and they’ve never been this strong. Nikkie works with amazing precision, gives the best advice, and on top of that, she’s just super fun to be around. Every appointment feels like a little celebration!"
