**Nicole Zerafa** is the founder of Original Diva Hair Extensions and one of Australia’s most experienced hair extension specialists — working exclusively with extensions since 2000, and supplying her own range of 100% human, silicone-free hair since 2006.

## Specialising in hair extensions since 2000

- **2000** — began specialising in hair extensions, training across tape, weft, micro ring and clip-in methods
- **2006** — founded Original Diva, building a direct manufacturing relationship to control hair quality at the source — silicone-free from day one
- **2006–today** — thousands of installations performed personally; Original Diva hair stocked by salons across NSW and Australia
- **Today** — every salon appointment at the private Hunters Hill studio is still carried out one-on-one by Nicole herself: no junior staff, no double-booking

## Press & media

Original Diva has been featured in **Marie Claire, InStyle, Cosmopolitan, WHO Magazine, Madison, Cleo, Yen, Bride To Be, USA Today, Modern Salon, Famous Magazine** and on **The Morning Show**.

## What Nicole does differently

Most extension brands are retailers; Nicole is a practitioner who built a product range to fix the problems she saw daily in the salon chair: silicone-coated hair that died after a month, wispy ends, poor colour blends and damaging attachments. That’s why every Original Diva product is 100% human hair, silicone-free, thick root-to-tip, and why [colour matching is free and done personally by Nicole](https://originaldiva.com.au/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/page/colour-matching-service.md) from your photos.
