The On-Set Essential: Mastering the ManeStays™ Secret with Nicki Chestnut

Join us at Frends Beauty to master the patent-pending tool that holds where bobby pins can't. See why elite stylists are calling this their new kit staple.

What You’ll Learn:

• The "Jennifer Garner" Styles: See a breakdown of specific looks from Nicki’s latest work on set, demonstrating how ManeStays create effortless, "un-pinned" hair that moves naturally but stays secure.
• Invisible Architecture: Learn the "under-the-hood" techniques for securing up-dos, heavy sections, and delicate face-framing pieces with zero visible hardware.
• Hands-On Lab: This isn't just a look-and-learn. You’ll have the opportunity to step up to the mannequin and feel the "Velcro-Grip" for yourself, mastering the placement that makes this tool a point-of-no-return staple.
• Pro Q&A: A dedicated session to ask Nicki about on-set etiquette, kit-building, and her journey from salon specialist to celebrity stylist.

The Bottom Line: Once you see how these hold, you’ll never look at a bobby pin the same way again. Elevate your professional kit with the tool that ensures your artistry stays exactly where you put it.

A hair industry veteran since 2003, Nicki Chestnut’s career spans salon cutting, theater wigs, and major film/TV sets. A two-time Hair and Makeup Artist Guild Award winner, Nicki currently works with Jennifer Garner, for whom she invented Hollywood ManeStays™.

Based in Van Nuys and a mother of two, Nicki is now sharing her "on-set staple" with the professional world—because once you use a ManeStay, you’ll never go back.
