Nutrafol’s Rooted In series brought to you by The Tease
Hosted By Johnnell Theresa Nidoh
Beauty runs deep in her roots—literally. Johnnell grew up in her mother’s salon, where the sound of dryers and hairspray sparked her passion for the professional hair industry. From sweeping floors to leading brand education and storytelling, she’s built a 20+ year career across brands like Bumble and bumble, DevaCurl, and Salon Professional Distribution. Long before it became mainstream, she saw the shift toward scalp health and whole-body wellness. Today, at the heart & helm of the Salon Channel at Nutrafol, Johnnell is passionate about shaping the future of holistic hair health and helping make inside-out beauty the new standard. Outside of work, she is fueled by travel, connection, yoga, meditation, and a love for new experiences that keep her grounded and inspired, because less stress = healthier hair.
