Best hair & makeup artist EVER!!

Nicole is absolutely AMAZING! She is exactly who I wanted in a hair and makeup artist for my very special day. I wanted someone who was obviously a master of the craft, but more importantly, someone who would hype me up & make me feel beautiful throughout the day. Nicole was just that!! She not only made me feel like the moment, but made me LOOK like the moment. She’s so professional, kind, punctual and communicative. I knew I could trust her leading up to the wedding and of course, on the wedding day. You truly don’t need to look further- SHE IS YOUR GIRL!!

THE BEST! Nicole won’t disappoint!

Trial
* Make Up Trial: I was looking for a makeup artist who does a light, natural look since I don’t normally wear a lot of makeup on a day to day basis. Nicole did exactly that!
* Hair Trial: I wanted a half up, half down, with very curly hair since my curls tend to fall out at the end of the night. The hair clips that I bought wasn’t what I had envisioned so Nicole suggested fresh baby breath instead which was the perfect small touch I was looking for.
Day Of
* Nicole, Danielle, and Silvia arrived at the venue on time. They each had their own hair/make up station. Even though we had 22 services, they stayed on schedule and it never felt rushed, always at ease. Everyone looked gorgeous and loved how their hair and makeup turned out!
Overall
* Nicole is so sweet, kind, and personable. She made me feel so calm and comfortable at both the trial and the day of. I would 1000% highly recommend her for both your wedding day hair and make up as she did a fabulous job! Thank you so much, Nicole!

Can’t recommend enough!!

I had such a wonderful experience working with Nicole for my wedding hair and makeup. She was incredibly kind, patient, and truly listened to what I wanted, which made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. Nicole knew exactly how to make my green eyes pop, and my hair and makeup turned out even better than I imagined. Everything lasted beautifully all day and night through the entire wedding. She was such a joy to work with and made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the process! Can’t recommend her highly enough!

Wedding day confidence

I was so glad I chose Nicole to do my hair and makeup. I read lots of reviews before choosing and looked at all the photos. Nicole is incredibly talented and is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. I had a couple of facials with her as well before the wedding. It feels like you've known her for years when you meet her. She listens to what you want and knows how to make it happen. My hair and makeup looked flawless, and I had total confidence on my wedding day.

Feel Your Best, Look Your Best!

Nicole is one of the sweetest and best people I’ve ever met! I have been seeing her for a little over a year now getting facials to prep for my wedding, and she also did my hair and makeup for my engagement photos as well as my wedding day. She is so sweet and has the best personality! She makes you feel beautiful even when you haven’t been feeling your best. I booked Nicole for my engagement shoot photos last year and she did a FABULOUS job where the makeup stayed even through a light rain! So I knew she was the one I wanted to make me feel my best on one of the most important day of my life! I signed up for the Bridal Bootcamp facials and they made ALL the difference for the big day! The makeup went on like butter and my skin was glowing the whole night! Nicole and Sylvia took care of my family the morning of my wedding, and their awesome personalities made everyone feel relaxed and excited for the day! Everyone’s hair and makeup looked AMAZING and everyone felt confident all night long! For me, I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt and you can tell in the photos because I just couldn’t stop smiling. If you want to feel and look your best, for your wedding, or any event, choose Nicole! Not only does she slay the beauty game, but her demeanor will out you at ease and she’ll hype you up!

And I still plan to keep coming back to her for facials because she’s the best. Love you Nicole!!

Wedding hair and makeup

Nicole was awesome for my wedding hair and makeup! She is really great at what she does. She is super nice and easy to work with. We changed my hair a little from the trial and it turned out amazing! It was exactly what I wanted. I really wanted natural glam makeup and she does a great job at this type of makeup. I definitely recommend her for wedding hair and makeup!

Nicole is the BEST!

Nicole did hair and makeup for me and my 7 bridesmaids for my fall 2024 wedding, and I was over the moon! Not only is she an amazing artist, but she is kind, personable, responsive and professional. I live in Arizona and she was very understanding and accommodating with my schedule when I came to town. She made us all look and feel our best! I would love to work with her again someday. Book her now!

Best makeup artist!

Nicole is the absolute best! I loved my bridal makeup and my bridesmaid and mom all felt so beautiful!! She pays very close attention to detail and we were all ready early. She is also an angel of a human and I felt so stress free the whole morning. I had friends after the wedding ask who did our makeup because they were all impressed by her magic! If you are looking for an amazing makeup artist look no further because you found her! I highly recommend Nicole!!

Makeup and hair perfection!

Nicole did an incredible job on my hair and bridal makeup as well as my mother’s makeup and bridesmaids hair. She was so easy to get ahold of and makeup and hair trial is included in your final cost. I never felt more beautiful! 100% book her!
