You feel heard, not rushed.

Our Story
More than hair.
Always about care.
The Beginning
NF Studio emerged from Narcisa Filipe's two decades of listening — to hair, to stories, to the quiet needs often overlooked in beauty spaces.
- Hair speaks when we learn to listen
- True care respects both health and expression
Our Philosophy
We believe in slow, intentional work. Where therapy meets artistry, and every client's journey is honored with attention and respect.
This isn't just a studio — it's a space shaped around patience, understanding, and the belief that hair care should feel like a conversation, not a transaction.
Narcisa Filipe
This is who we are, and how we care.
Our Foundation
A journey shaped by care.
The Early Years
Narcisa began braiding and caring for hair long before NF Studio existed. Her work grew not from trends, but from a genuine love for restoring confidence, easing discomfort, and creating beauty with intention.
- Listening first
- Gentle hands
- Patient attention
The Realisation
Over years of working with clients, a pattern emerged: people weren't just looking for styles — they were seeking understanding, care, and a space where their hair's needs were truly heard.
This insight shaped everything. It became clear that hair care at its best is a dialogue — between client, practitioner, and the hair itself.
Today at NF
NF Studio blends calm technique, thoughtful care and modern artistry — offering a space where people feel understood, respected and cared for.
Every visit is built on that original foundation: listening, understanding, and creating with care.

Respect
We honour your hair's natural state, its history, and the trust you place in us.

They're how we practice, every day.
