Makeup consultation with a boost of confidence!

Nicole is a talented artist who makes everyone who sits in her chair feel comfortable. She has a genuine want to make her clients feel their best. My makeup consultation with her not only taught me how to upgrade my makeup in a more natural way, it also brought about a confidence in me to apply the techniques given on my own. Nicole approaches her clients with a sense of humility that is rare and her products feel so fresh! Highly recommend this artist!

Beautiful Make Up!

Nicole did a fabulous job on my wedding make up and on all my bridesmaids! She was very kind and even stayed a little longer on my wedding day to help my put on my veil!

Nicole is the best!


I couldn't be happier with the incredible work Nicole did for my wedding! From the initial trial to the big day, Nicole demonstrated exceptional talent, professionalism, and a keen understanding of my vision. She created a flawless look that was exactly what I had envisioned, that just elevated how I feel while ensuring I felt comfortable and confident. I loved that she did my trial for my rehearsal gathering the day before the wedding, so I could feel beautiful and confident all weekend.
On the wedding day, Nicole was punctual, calm, and organized, which helped ease my pre-wedding nerves, as helped make my mother and sister feel confident as well. She also did an amazing job with coordinating with my bridal party's makeup, making sure everyone looked stunning and cohesive. The makeup lasted all day and night, even through tears and dancing!
Nicole is not only a skilled artist but also a lovely person to work with. Her friendly demeanor and genuine care for me made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. If you're looking for a makeup artist who will make you look and feel your absolute best on your special day, I highly recommend Nicole. Thank you for making me feel like the most beautiful bride!

The Best in the Business

The attention to detail is unmatched by any other hair and make-up team in the area. Nicole met with me in person for a consultation before I even signed my contract to make sure I felt comfortable with her taking care of my hair and makeup for my wedding day. We also did a trial run which was a great way to make sure I loved the look I thought I wanted for the big day and all I had to worry about on the wedding day was showing up and she would make me beautiful. She knew exactly what I wanted and then some. Her team did an excellent job getting the wedding party ready in time for all of the day’s events and everyone looked amazing. Highly recommend hiring Nicole for your wedding, event, or date night out.

Look No Further

Where do I begin? Nicole is a gifted artist and your face is the palette. I have worked with her for years and have referred her to friends and family without hesitation. Aside from her mad skills, she has an incredible “bedside manner” so to speak. Nicole kept me on track in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and she came fully prepared on the Big Day. Nicole even steamed my wedding dress last minute when the bridal party was running late (no fault of hers). She knows just what a nervous (i.e. panicked) bride needs and rises to every challenge masterfully. You will look AMAZING when she’s finished and she is worth every penny. My makeup was spot on and I didn't even realize that I had false lashes on. They looked natural - even the next day - and it didn't feel like I had something weighing down my lids. The lashes were so comfortable and for me, that's huge! I could go on forever but I will stop by saying, "Thank you, Nicole, for everything you do. You are irreplaceable."

I can't even put into words how much I loved working with Nicole. I'd worked with another make up artist, who I realized only after working with Nicole, didn't really ask the same questions to make sure my end result was me. The questions Nicole asked were to make sure that while I was a bride, I was still Me. I was truly and deeply satisfied with my experience and look forward to working with her on other events I have to attend. Totally worth it. I felt gorgeous and my make up lasted through the reception. On top of her skills, she was also super easy to talk to. I really enjoyed my entire experience.

Nicole Fae was upbeat, professional, and listened very well. I don't wear a lot of makeup or get dressed up very often, and she helped me to look more like my ideal self for a day. She is very skilled and compassionate, and she helped make my day amazing. Her staff are also very fun and professional. I wish I could have afforded her and a few others for the entire bridal party.

I found Nicole Fae by my photographer's recommendation. What drew me to her was the photos of the brides that she's done. Each one of them seemed like their natural, beautiful selves, and they seemed so comfortable with how they looked. That’s how I felt on my wedding day, too. Hair and makeup was on point. Before booking with Nicole, I was considering doing my own makeup, and I’m extremely happy that I decided not to. Avoiding that stress was totally worth it. Of course, being the pro that she is, Nicole did a much better job than I could ever do. Plus, I learned a few things from watching her! She’s incredibly helpful, easy to talk to, and exceeded my every expectation. After learning about her other services, I also did an airbrush tan and brow shaping with her. I loved how she was able to provide a one-stop shop for my beauty needs. I definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to look their best for any occasion!

Nicole is wonderful. She is now my go to for hair, makeup and spray tan because of the wonderful job she did at my wedding. She is very kind and did my hair and makeup exactly how i wanted it. I wouldn't use anyone else because there isn't anyone better.
