“The best decision I’ve made in my entire life was joining NBR and not looking back.”
– Britta Van Boerum
Britta owns Skandia Kollektiv Extension Lounge in Salt Lake City, Utah, specializing in bright, blended blondes and preserving the integrity of her client’s natural hair.
When Britta applied for NBR Academy in 2021, on average, she was making $6-8k per month, but Britta had plans to break that glass ceiling, and by 2023, she had tripled her income. Her remarkable achievements earned her a spot in Utah Business’s “20 in Their 20s,” which showcases top business owners in their 20s.
Britta’s journey into hairstyling took an unexpected turn just four weeks before opening Skandia Kollektiv Extension Lounge in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her mother suffered a tragic accident, becoming a double bilateral amputee. This challenge made Britta rethink her salon’s purpose, and Britta saw her mission: to empower women to feel strong and confident.
Witnessing her mother’s struggle, Britta understood that while she couldn’t change her reality, she could provide an experience that allowed her mother to feel more like herself again. NBR offered her mother a sense of identity and helped her regain some of the confidence she had before the accident. Britta’s work is about more than just hair; it’s about helping women transform into the strong, empowered individuals they truly are.
