Born in Gambia, Paboy embarked on his journey into the art of tailoring at the tender age of 13, under the guidance of his uncle in their atelier. Faced with limited resources, Paboy made the difficult choice to compromise his formal schooling to become the primary provider for his family.From his eyes in the countryside of Gambia, Paboy developed a discerning eye for colors. While living with his grandmother, he honed his skills in sewing as he saw people dressed in brightly colored scarves and dresses.

From studying languages to completing a Computer Science and Business degree, Nikita's trajectory to beauty and haircare collided with many turns, reflection, and learnings from eight years of working at pioneering houses of fine fragrance: from Patou to PUIG.

Nikita knows exactly who she is, and knows who she wants to be: 'You don't need to be masculine; you can be feminine and lead.'Nikita, as the creative head of Fable and Mane, coined the name from her childhood nostalgia of "storytime with haircare."
