    Simple and Elegant

    Nichole was great, she kept in touch with me leading up to the wedding and showed up with plenty of time to get everything done and still be early. Even with the many interruptions, and coming and goings of the wedding party, father of the bride and guest. The groom was very adamant about me looking like my self for our wedding. I don't wear a lot of make up often and wear my hair pulled back. Nichole did an amazing job with my fine hair (no extensions per the grooms request ) and makeup. I felt like myself and comfortable all day. My hair and makeup didn't budge at all, even with all that dancing and sweating. Thanks Nichole

    Bridesmaid Makeup

    To be honest I’m always disappointed when other people do my makeup it’s never how I want it. Nichole on the other hand was amazing! I absolutely loved my makeup. It was exactly what I wanted! :) I would highly recommend her for your wedding!

    Flawless and Beautiful

    Nichole was amazing! I told her to do what she felt would really make my eyes pop and boy did she do that. She made me look stunning it a palate I normally would be to nervous to try. She really knew what would make my eyes stand out and how to make my skin look flawless. She also educated me on good products and tips. She paid attention to little details making sure my makeup would last and be beautiful all night! She was professional and had great energy!

    Best makeup artist!

    Nichole was the best makeup artist and was able to make me feel special on my wedding day. She works with you to figure out your comfort level to make sure you look great on your special day. She also worked with my bridesmaids to make them look gorgeous as well!

    Amazing Wedding Makeup & Hair!

    Nicole was amazing. From even before my consultation, she was so open and inquisitive and supportive. She asked for pictures to get a feel of what I wanted, and during both my trial and wedding day made sure every step of the way I was happy. Nicole is fun, keeps things light on a potentially stressful day, and made me feel like the most beautiful bride. 100% recommend her for any event you need!

    Best Day Ever!

    Nichole and her assistant were absolutely amazing! They were on time, efficient, and so accommodating. I did a trial with Nichole and went very natural. I decided to do something a little more intense for the actual wedding day and Nichole was able to do exactly what I wanted! Everyone looked absolutely amazing and I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else! Thanks Artista!

    LOVED Artista Makeup

    It’s always hard to pick a makeup artist or hair stylist when you’re not from the area. I feel like I got so lucky finding Nichole! She was SUCH a pleasure to work with, she’s so sweet and professional!! I am very picky with my makeup and she worked with me through the process and I LOVED my wedding day makeup. I had a large bridal party and she did such a fantastic job at working with everyone on styles that worked for them. Everyone was super happy with their makeup that day, which helped the day go SO smooth. One less thing to stress about. I love that she offers hair services too, it really helps pull the whole package together. Thanks Nichole!!

    Highly recommend!

    It was so lovely having Nichole for both hair and makeup on my special day. She was punctual and ready for the day with a smile on her face. Her energy was just what I needed prior to the ceremony... calm & relaxed yet still upbeat and positive. She went above and beyond with my nieces ages 4 & 7yrs who absolutely adored her! Nichole was so patient with them :) My braided hair style and makeup was just perfect and lasted the entire day as well as my mother’s hair which she loved! I don’t usually wear much makeup so a natural look was very important to me. Nichole nailed it and the photos look awesome! I would highly recommend her any day for all occasions!

    Simply the best

    Nichole made me look more beautiful than I had imagined along with all my girls! You just can’t go wrong hiring her. She is wonderful to be around professional and very open to feed back. I couldn't have asked for anyone better!

    11/10-- can't recommend highly enough

    Nichole is so, so awesome.

    She is super friendly and professional, and went above & beyond the call of duty as my wedding makeup artist. When my concealer creased during my trial (probably due to my oily skin), she went into investigator mode, finding techniques for me to try (fellow oily-skinned gals: mixing a tiny bit of setting powder into your liquid foundation is a game changer-- you're welcome!) to ensure that my makeup was perfect on my wedding day. While I loved my trial aside from that minor concealer issue, she was completely open to feedback and changing things up if I wanted to tweak anything.

    When we had a day-of crisis (it didn't look like my outside, non-Artista hair stylist was going to show up-- she eventually did, 2 hours late... yep), I reached out to Nichole on the edge of panic to see if she could bring her hair kit just in case. She responded to my email immediately, reassuring me that she was bringing it & that we had a backup plan in the event that the hairdresser didn't show. This gave me so much peace of mind, and her professionalism throughout the day as she gave myself, my mom, & my maid of honor gorgeous looks for the day was so appreciated. It was sweet to see how special & pampered she made my mom feel as they visited during her turn.

    Can not recommend Artista highly enough-- you will not be sorry if you hire her for your event.

    So happy!!

    Nichole is amazing! Everything from my first conversation with her to my wedding makeup was perfect. She is so kind and talented, and she truly knows what she's doing. As someone who doesn't usually wear makeup, I was worried I'd feel uncomfortable wearing what I thought was typical wedding makeup, but Nichole worked with me to find the perfect, natural look for my wedding day. She also did the makeup for my bridesmaids, all of whom also loved their looks. I'm so grateful for Nichole and she will always be the first person I recommend.

    Nichole is a QUEEN!! She was very responsive to ALL of my (millions) of emails during the planning process. The hair/makup trial was so fun and she made US look and feel like princesses the day of. Can't say thank you enough to her and her lovely assistant. You'd be lucky to hire her skills!

    Nichole was more than I could have ever hoped for. She transformed me into a bride like magic. She made my dry, puffy skin glow and made my frizzy hair smooth. More than that, she has a great personality that put me at ease and made me laugh. And when my fiance broke a cuff link, she lent him her eyelash glue to fix it! She helped make the day great and our photos amazing! (Photo to come)

    I had an elopement in Paso Robles last week. Nichole is a great makeup artist and great to work with. Fun to talk with and calms your nerves. After a not so great trial, I intensely moisturized my face & skin and it ended up coming out perfect on the actual day. She even gave me a emergency haircut I desperately needed an hour before my wedding! She really went above and beyond helping me to look my best on the most important day. She even gave me tips on where to visit being an out-of-towner. Thanks to her I had perfect gatsby hair and old hollywood glam makeup for my vintage inspired wedding. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for hair and makeup.

    Nicole was very professional and did a wonderful job on me and my ladies! I was honestly afraid to put trust and finances in someone who I didn't know. However, I wasted time worrying. Nicole was reliable and her makeup work was beautiful.

    Nichole and her team did hair and makeup for myself, my 6 bridesmaids, flowergirl, and my mom. She is extremely kind, passionate about her craft, and easy to work with! She was flexible in scheduling my hair and makeup trials! On the day of the wedding, she arrived early to set up and even built in extra time into our schedule to ensure we had time for final touchups without feeling rushed. I have very long, thick hair and Nichole was able to do an updo with ease and my makeup was natural but photographed beautifully!
