Biography

Born and raised in South Africa, she gained an Honors degree in dietetics before starting her own private practice in Cape Town. She then decided to further her business knowledge and took a post graduate business course at Wits Business School, before moving to London in 1996, where she worked in the City as a marketing consultant. After being made redundant she decided to follow her passion and pursue a career in fashion. In May 2001 she founded the personal stylist consultancy NHJ Style. In 2003 Nicky was approached to present the hit makeover show 10 Years Younger on Channel 4. The series was a huge success and made Nicky into a household name. During that time Nicky worked as brand ambassador for a number of high-profile retail brands. In 2008, based on the success of her personal styling business, Nicky set up the NHJ Style Academy which provides expert training and development programmes for individuals who want to be personal stylists and for retailers with under performing personal shopping departments. The NHJ Style Academy developed the new Personal Shopping service at Heathrow and completely revamped Debenhams Oxford Street personal shopping service. Nicky lives in London with her husband Robert and has 2 children, Benjamin & Georgina.
