There’s no one like Nikolette

I can’t say enough good things about Nikolette. She and I have worked together for many years and no matter what the job is whether it’s a photo shoot, an event, my wedding or whatever it is, she goes above and beyond and does everything she can to make the situation perfect. She is so talented and she does both hair and makeup that I flew her to Florida for my wedding because I knew I couldn’t do it without her. Sure enough, as I look back on it, I realize that my wedding wouldn’t have been as wonderful as it was without Nikolette working with me. She did Hair and makeup for both my flower girls, my maid Of honor, my mother, and myself. She is a genuinely good human being and fun to be around. She is not someone who takes advantage and isn’t just there because she’s getting paid. Most people just do the bare minimum enough to say they completed a job, but Nikolette as I’ve said, goes above and beyond and cares. She is an artist and personalizes makeup to each person's face! She is seriously great at what she does and an absolute pleasure to be around! I highly recommend her for whatever kind of event, she will make it perfect!

Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about the amazing wedding hair and makeup the Nikolette did for me - completely exceeded my expectations! I didn’t give her much direction other than I wanted it to enhance my natural look, but she somehow just got my vision. She completely nailed the look with minimal guidance, effortlessly enhancing my natural beauty while keeping everything elegant and timeless.

She truly went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, and I could tell she was genuinely invested in making me feel my absolute best on my special day. My hair was flawless—especially the extensions she seamlessly incorporated. I had 8 extra inches of hair, and no one could tell they weren’t my own!

The makeup was equally stunning—subtle, yet glamorous, and it lasted all day without any touch-ups needed. I felt like the best version of myself, and I received so many compliments throughout the day.

If you’re looking for a wedding artist who truly listens, has impeccable skill, and goes above and beyond, look no further. I couldn’t have been happier with the entire experience!

Best in the Biz

I recently had the pleasure of working with the incredible Nikolette for my wedding. I can't express how grateful I am for her talent and professionalism. On the day of my wedding, Nikolette and her assistant arrived to the venue early, ready to go and created a warm and inviting atmosphere. They both took the time to listen to mine, my mother and my mother in-laws preferences and offered valuable suggestions (and everyday tips) that enhanced our natural beauty without it being overwhelming. Nikolette is a highly skilled artist that used high-quality products that lasted throughout the day, even through tears of joy and plenty of dancing. Not only did I feel STUNNING, Nikolette made me feel like we've know each other for years. I felt amazing in her expert hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Nikolette and her team to anyone that wants to look and feel and look like a billion bucks. Thank you for making my special day even more memorable. ICON!!!!!

The perfect artist if you want to feel extra special on your special day!

I couldn’t be happier with my decision to hire Nikolette to do my hair and makeup for my bridal shower. She is so kind, genuine and thoughtful and brought such positive, calming energy the morning of my shower. She is so knowledgeable of her trade and answered all of my questions without hesitation. She checked in to make sure I was comfortable and happy with each step of the process and was flexible and beyond understanding when I requested some minor tweaks as we tested out different looks. Her final product was outstanding. I felt so confident and beautiful and my friends and family (and nikolette) reiterated that with their feedback and compliments. The draw dropping reactions I received only further validated how smart it was to hire Nikolette. 100/10 recommend!

Exceptional!

I've used Nikolette's hair & makeup services for all of my bridal events, and hands-down she is absolutely fabulous! If I could give her 10 stars I would. She's also one of the sweetest people I've ever met, and all of my bridesmaids (and mom!) used her for the wedding day and said the same!

Incredible experience, highly recommend

I was incredibly pleased with Nikolette and the services she provided for my wedding and bridal party. She and her team were responsive and accommodating when scheduling trials and adjusting to scheduling changes for day of events. The quality of service, the time spent with each individual of the bridal party and the overall finished product is superior to other experiences. I would highly recommend Makeup by Nikolette for your next event.
