At Nikki Jay Artistry LLC, I believe your bridal beauty experience should feel like more than just “getting your makeup done.” It’s about feeling completely seen, taken care of, and absolutely radiant on one of the most unforgettable days of your life.

Based in Maple Shade, NJ, I’ve spent the last 10+ years helping brides of all skin tones feel confident, beautiful, and stress-free on their big day. My specialty? Soft glam and natural glam looks that enhance your features—not mask them—so you still feel like yourself, just even more polished and photo-ready.

From intimate weddings to large bridal parties, I create a calm, supportive atmosphere and handle every detail with care. Think of me as your beauty BFF and right-hand woman—ready to hype you up, fix that stray hairpin, and make sure your look lasts from first look to last dance.

I offer luxury skin prep, long-wear makeup application, and a range of bridal hairstyles, including barrel curls, wand curls, half up/half down styles, sleek flat ironing, and elegant updos.

Let’s create a timeless look you’ll love just as much on your 25th anniversary as you do on your wedding day.

Nikki Jay Artistry, LLC is based in Maple Shade, New Jersey, and provides wedding hair and makeup services.

Great experience

Working with Nikki to plan for my wedding day hair and my bridesmaids and mothers and just all every look and hairstyle that was requested was amazing. From beginning stages of planning to the day of (including last minute changes and updates) Nikki and her team were professional, understanding, patient, and kind. Most of all, we all looked so amazing when everything was said and done. I was nervous when searching for a stylist that could work on all types of hair and I was so glad I chose Nikki. Talented and kind and you absolutely get what you pay for. She was amazing in every way and I’m so grateful to her and her team.

Perfect Hair, Makeup and a Little Extra Magic

Nikki did my hair and makeup, as well as my daughter’s hair, and absolutely nailed both. The morning of, I asked if she could add a little extra glam for my daughter, and she made it happen without hesitation. She was on time, incredibly professional, and made the getting-ready process stress-free. I also loved that Nikki offers groom facials something I didn’t see from other wedding hair and makeup artists. Highly recommend!

Excellent experience bride and wedding party

From our first consultation to the wedding day, Nikki made sure my experience was seamless. I found her through styleseat and not only were her prices very competitive, but she also offered packages for bridal parties upfront which as a bride made my day so much simpler. Once I went to her Instagram, I was sold.

Our consultation was easy and I was able to share what looks and colors I might like. ultimately I chose a package for three plus the bride and it included a makeup preview which I scheduled a month before the wedding. I also included a male wedding day grooming session as part of it. She was ready with the look I wanted and the makeup trial was great.

On the wedding day, Nikki was running late but communicated this perfectly and was very reassuring that thing would still be on time. When she arrived, she followed the timeline sent, was very efficient while still making everyone feel like the best version of themselves and we were very much ON TIME. My husband loved his grooming session and was very pampered and loved the natural youthful glow it gave him. My mom and aunt had not done there makeup in a long while and this was an absolute treat for them and their reaction was heartwarming.

I ended up deciding to change my look at the last minute, going for a classic Hollywood glam look and Nikki took this in stride and executed perfectly.also my makeup lasted through tears and a quick nap.

I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day experience for everyone involved and I would use Nikki for any makeup services in future and also recommend her services to anyone!

Impressive!!!

Nikki is a true professional!! . She arrived on time and stayed the course. As the bride I was a bit concerned because I did not have a trial makeup session. I have a birth mark on my face that is darker than my skin color which has always been a challenge to get my make up correct. No one has until my wedding day when I met Nikki. She educated me on some of the products being used on my face when necessary that actually brought out my natural skin tone. After my appointment all I could say was “WOW”!!!
I was very impressed with my hair and my makeup. She captured the look I envisioned and I received a lot of compliments at my wedding. I highly recommend Nikki and will use her services again in the future.
It was a pleasure meeting and working with her. Thanks Nikki you truly made my day!!!

Absolutely amazing!

Nikki was the absolute best, her skills are absolutely perfect!!! I'm so glad I found someone who listened to what I wanted, as I didn't want traditional bridal makeup. She was absolutely amazing with accommodating cause my mom needed her hair done last minute on the day of the wedding and Nikki really saved the day with helping to do that. She made me feel so comfortable and even inspired me to do more with make up as I did not know I could look that good!!! She was so easy to work with and such a pleasant person to be around. I was very happy with her serviced and if I ever need professional make up done again I'd absolutely reach out to her again!!

Job Well Done!

I recently had my Bridal Makeup Preview for my upcoming wedding and it was a wonderful experience. Nikki was professional, friendly and easy to talk to. She asked questions to get a feel of what you like, what you don't like and what overall look you are going for. I'm not a makeup person but I felt she was very knowledgeable about her craft and you can tell she really enjoys what she does.

You won’t be disappointed

I found Nikki Jay on instagram as I was looking for a make up artist that specializes in soft glam. I don’t wear make up everyday and the first couple of trials I had with other make up artists were complete fails. When I reached out to Nikki Jay she was responsive and professional. She helped me achieve the desired look I was going for and her prices are phenomenal. My girls and I received so many compliments about our make up and I will definitely book her for future events. If you decide to go with you won’t be disappointed.

Best decision ever!

Nikki Jay was kind, understanding, and skilled at both hair and makeup. I had a makeup trial and was immediately sold on hiring her. She worked with me and my bridesmaids to offer the services that we needed and when the wedding day came, she was prepared and ready for the task at her. Nikki Jay has an eye for detail and her work is flawless. Thank you again for making me feel like the most beautiful bride!
