Our Founder Stories

Nikki



Nikki Corzine, the owner The Canyon Salon in Westlake Village, a leading Salon in Southern California, created Amai Beauty out of a fervent passion for a safe, high-performance clean beauty line. Driven by her experience as a Salon Owner, Nikki recognized a need for products that combine stunning, professional results with the inherent benefits of organic ingredients. Her vision was to offer a line that actively nourishes and protects both hair and skin, aligning ethical ingredient sourcing with salon-grade effectiveness.

This commitment to quality and client well-being defines Amai Beauty. The Amai product line focuses on incorporating organic, protective, and restorative ingredients that maintain health without compromising on aesthetic results. Having earned the trust and affection of her own clients at The Canyon Salon, Nikki is now dedicated to sharing these beloved, performance-driven products with a wider audience, ensuring that safe beauty is synonymous with luxury and efficacy.
