amazing hair and makeup experience
Wow, where do I even start with Nikki. From our very first email to her being of the last people to hug me goodbye before walking down the aisle with my dad, Nikki was an incredibly supportive and positive energy to have around. We did two trials before my wedding day and both were so much fun in her gorgeous studio in CT. She went out of her way to travel across state lines at 5AM (!!) to do my hair and makeup for our morning wedding and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome and how everything shows up in the pictures. She is professional, honest, and straightforward. Would recommend to anyone and everyone -

Nikki and Megan did a fantastic job with hair and makeup for our wedding. Everyone looked effortlessly beautiful and our moms, who don’t wear makeup, really loved how everyone’s beauty was enhanced, but not overshadowed. They’re still talking about it two months later! -

Nikki was referred to me by multiple people (former brides and bridal party members) and exceeded all expectations. We had a large group of girls and Nikki brought a team with her that was able to ensure that everyone looked flawless on time. She was professional and helpful throughout the planning process. I knew that I had nothing to worry about with her in charge of our wedding preparations. After doing several lash lift and tints, my trial and finally hair and makeup on the big day, I really felt like Nikki was a good friend. I would refer her without hesitation to anyone looking to book hair and makeup for their big day. Thank you, Nikki :) -

I absolutely adore Nikki! I needed to find a makeup and hair artist down by the North Stonington/Preston area to make it easy on the day of my wedding. I am so glad I found Nicole. She is so bubbly, friendly, and adorable and a total perfectionist (like myself). She was very responsive via email and made it easy to send over ideas for my look and to book the trial. Sitting in the chair with Nikki is a lot of fun. She's so peppy and friendly and FUN. I felt so at ease the morning of my wedding talking to her and her assistant for the day, Sarah, who was equally fun to be around. All of my bridesmaids and the MOB/MOG looked BEAUTIFUL! She was so accommodating when one of my bridesmaids changed her mind last minute about doing her makeup, and made sure to fit her in before she left. (My bridesmaid changed her mind because when she saw how good we all looked she didn't want to pass up the opportunity!) Nikki stayed a lot longer than she had initially planned on to finish everything up and she never once complained or even looked remotely phased by it. We all looked amazing. I've had a bad experience with airbrush makeup before, last summer when i was in a friends wedding. My now husband didn't even recognize me because that particular artist really didn't know how to make the makeup look natural. Nikki knew exactly what to do and really listened to my vision for a natural bohemian look. On top of it all, none of us had any smears, smudges, or lines after sweating it out on the dance floor all night long and removal was super easy in the shower! -

Nicole made me and my bridal party feel and look amazing. She was so much fun to work with, and just did an outstanding job and kept communcation open for any changes. I even looked good the morning after, and she brought a whole new level of confidence to a adolescent junior bridesmaid who felt uncomfortable standing in front of everyone. I had a larger party (9 girls plus myself and MOB) and she was able to get everyone done wonderfully! Thank you Nikki! -

Quiana Sent on 06/21/2013Not only is Nicole a dear friend of mine, she is talented, skilled, passionate, friendly, and most professional individual that shows pride in all her work she does. I was beyond confident in selecting Nicole to travel the distance with me to DR for my wedding not only as a bridesmaid but my make-up artist. She takes pride in all her work, that she kept reminding me that she had to do my trial.. My exact statement to her was, the work I've seen her do and her daily make up application, there was no need for a mock trial for me. All I asked of Nikki the day of my wedding, was to give me a natural looking glow that defines who I am on a everyday basis... She met that request and beyond..xo
