Nicole + Johnny Ferri

Decades behind the chair. A deliberately small studio.

Great Expectations opened in downtown Georgetown on October 1, 1999. Today Nicole and Johnny operate as a two-person team, keeping the studio calm and the attention personal.

Nicole Michelle Ferri

Education became the foundation.

Nicole has been licensed since 1991. Her career has included full-service salon work, esthetics training, education with international brands, Goldwell presentation and education work, and twelve years with the production company behind the Golden Curl Image Awards.

She created Great Expectations with a simple idea: a salon that felt more like a living room—comfortable, positive and without judgment.

Johnny Ferri

Colour, highlighting, extensions—and craft beyond hair.

Johnny joined Great Expectations in 2011 after a career that began in Yorkville. He has more than 30 years of experience, has taught and done show work for hair companies, and has appeared on Breakfast Television.

He specializes in colour, highlighting and extensions. He also designs and builds custom wooden pieces showcased inside the studio.

The shared approach

The consultation is not a preamble. It is the work that makes the colour, cut or treatment decision make sense.

ListenUnderstand the result and maintenance.
AssessLook at colour, texture and hair quality.
ProtectChoose conditioning or fortifying treatment first when needed.
