Nikki Blonsky | Hairstylist

During her years in school, Nikki Blonsky enjoyed participating in an after-school theatre program. She had the chance to work on her acting chops throughout that period, thanks to on-stage gigs for productions such as Sweeney Todd, Les Misérables, and Carmen. After a while, she eventually found her way into the entertainment industry, debuting with an acting credit as Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray’s hit musical film.

Other projects she’s worked on since then include Valemont, Huge, Geography Club, and Smash. While she doesn’t have any new acting gigs just yet, it’s safe to say Nikki is still far from ready to bid farewell to her acting career. Along the way, the actress got herself a cosmetology license, allowing her to pursue a job as a hairstylist, her go-to work in between auditions. Plus, she recently started a new series on her Instagram account, where she interviewed other celebrities.
