    Saved the day at the last minute- and were AMAZING

    Nicole's team (The Beauty Soiree) came to the rescue when our wedding hairstylist bailed on us a week before the wedding! Cecily was incredibly talented, professional, fun, and wonderful to work with. We're super grateful--literal lifesavers!

    My makeup was perfect!

    Shout out to Nicole for making me feel so so beautiful on my wedding day. I loved my makeup, everything was just perfect. All of my bridesmaids and the moms also looked gorgeous. Everything held up all night even after some happy tears and a lot of dancing!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Nicole (makeup) and Ashely (hair) did our hair and makeup for me, my 5 bridesmaids and my mom for my wedding. They are very well versed in working will all types of hair and skin types. My bridesmaids are all different ethnicities and all felt very comfortable and beautiful during the whole process. My mom was a bit hesitant to get her makeup done but Nicole and Ashley made her feel so comfortable and my mom couldn't stop taking about how she loved they way she looked! I loved the way my hair and makeup turned and it lasted the whole night out and highly recommend them for any wedding/special even coming up!

    The absolute best there is!

    YASSSSSS - do yourself a favor and hire Nicole and her team for your wedding! Nicole worked her magic on both mine and my sisters wedding (we got married a month apart) - they are extremely easy to work with (it was like getting ready with a bunch of good friends not vendors) & very accommodating with early morning start times. I had a brunch wedding and had to start hair & make up at 5:30AM. Plus, I love that she & her team all have experience with all skin tones & hair textures. They made me feel absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day & I can't recommend them enough!

    Wedding Day Hair and Makeup

    Nicole and her coworker did SO amazing with my hair and makeup for my wedding! I barely had to show them an inspiration picture and they brought my vision to life so easily. They were so friendly and easy to talk to that it made the process so fun and quick! I would highly recommend her team to anyone looking for a talented hair and makeup artist. Thank you, Nicole!

    Nicole and her team are incredible!

    Nicole and her team did hair and makeup on three of my bridesmaids, myself, and the mothers. Everyone raved about their hair and makeup! She truly brought out everyone's best features and Cecily did an incredible job on everyone's hair! They were timely without it feeling rushed and were very open to any requests we had.

    Look no further, Nicole’s the best!

    Nicole was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole wedding process! She was quick in responding to my emails, and answered all of the many questions I had. She showed up exactly when she said she would, and made sure she thoroughly sanitized after each person. During the bridal trial and the day of the wedding, she made sure that I was satisfied with how I looked. My two bridesmaids also loved their makeup! I don’t normally wear much makeup, and she nailed the “soft, natural glam” look I was going for. Give her and her crew a call for your wedding day!

    The best in rva

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicole and Cecily. Nicole did my makeup for my wedding day along with all my bridesmaids and moms. I specifically wanted Cecily for my day as well. Both girls are insanely talented. They are professional, easy to work with, responsive and truly made my day more enjoyable. Nicole and Cecily really catered to who they were working on, to make our visions come to life. We got compliments all night long on all of our hair and makeup. Nicole and her team are hands down the best in RVA.

    Glamorous and seamless

    Nicole and her team were phenomenal and so easy going. We had 6 bridesmaids, mother of the groom and myself the bride all done with such great timing. They were flawless with the hair styles and the makeup made all of our beauty pop. Nicole especially brought out everyone’s eyes which I loved. No big touch ups were needed before the ceremony and Nicole customized all the girls makeup to what they wanted. I loved my natural glam because I don’t wear a lot of makeup and it never felt like I had a lot on. I would highly recommend her and her crew not only for their talent but overall good vibes that had us all dancing and laughing.

    12/28 Charlottesville Wedding

    Nicole (Makeup) and Cecily (Hair) were a dream team. My makeup was absolutely flawless and stayed on all day. I didn't feel too made or like my make up was caked on- I simply felt like she enhanced my natural beauty. My hair was even better than the pictures I showed her, and looked perfect all day. Everyone in my bridal party was completely satisfied with both their hair and makeup. Nicole and Cecily are friendly, fun, and very flexible. They work very efficiently, and it's clear why they are one of the number one teams in Richmond.

    Nicole and her team are amazing!

    Nicole and her team traveled to Charlottesville for our May wedding and they rocked it. She made it through myself, 5 bridesmaids and 2 mothers in record time and everyone looked gorgeous. My make up made it through the heat and humidity which says a lot. Nicole has years of experience and is great at listening and understanding your requests. Thank you, Nicole!

    Talented, flexible and fun

    Nicole and Cecily Morgan (hair) were an amazing team! They did hair and makeup for 9 of us (me, bridesmaids, moms) and everyone loved how both their hair and makeup turned out. Nicole, Cecily and their assistants came to my house early the morning of the wedding and quickly set up and got right to work. They (and their assistants) are all easy to talk to and fun to hang out with, which started the day off on a stress free note. They both worked quickly and re-did or touched up a few styles when requested. I also did a hair and makeup trial with Nicole and Cecily a few months before the wedding and they were accommodating in scheduling the trial and were fun to work with during that time as well. They are a very fun and talented team!

    I cannot begin to say how many compliments I received on my make up! I booked Nicole for our wedding on 8.18.18 and my mother & all of my bridesmaids loved her work. She was super fast and even accommodated my beautiful aunt the day of wedding with no problem. Nicole and her assistant have awesome personalities and it was so easy to get my vision for my bridal party and I to have across and she made it happen! Talk about Glam! Everyone was very pleased about their services.

    Nicole and her team, including Cecily Morgan for hair, were incredible!!! It was wonderful working with them while getting my trial hair and make up done, and on the day of the wedding they did an amazing job! Nicole and her team were a delight to have at the bridal suite, were flexible, and very accommodating of the varying requests of my mom and bridesmaids. Everyone looked incredible!!

    I hired Nicole to do my makeup for a wedding and was totally amazed (I already knew she would be awesome based on her portfolio) but seriously can't say enough great things about this woman from her professionalism to unique style that brings classy together with fun creating a flawless look that will last for hours! I didn't even have to show her a photo of the kind of look I wanted, just kind of explained it in a few words and she made look a million times better than I could have ever imagined ?? can't wait to hire her again!

    I had a makeup trial with Nicole and BAM did she knock it out of the park! So the day of my wedding I wasn't concerned at all. She did the makeup for all of my bridesmaids and myself in record time. She came to us and only brought the mood up. With just a few pinterest photos she brought my vision to life <3 The makeup lasted all night too!!

    Nicole and her friend/hair stylist Cecily were AMAZING!! I did a trial with Nicole in her cute Richmond studio on a Saturday before my bridal shower (amazing!) and she listened to all the changes I wanted to make for the day of. She traveled all the way to Charlottesville for my wedding and only charged $50 for travel which was amazing. The day of I was a nervous wreck yelling commands and generally freaking out. Nicole and Cecily did my hair and makeup so flawlessly that as soon as I saw it all put together I was instantly relieved. They were so efficient and got everyone done ahead of schedule! They put up with my diva-ness, were patient when members of my bridal party were late, and best of all, their prices were FANTASTIC. I would recommend Nicole to anyone looking for bridal makeup. Do not hesitate to reach out to her, even if you're just interested and want to hear more. She is very quick to respond (I mostly contacted via facebook message) and is always so pleasant and kind. LOVE THEM! Thanks for helping make my wedding day absolutely perfect.

    Nicole did my makeup, as well as my bridesmaids and my mother on my wedding day and she was AMAZING. She was quick and efficient, but also flawless. She could not have done a better job, honestly, and she was so easy to work with and just top to bottom perfect as far as a makeup artist. I also had her do my rehearsal dinner makeup, and she was super easy to work with for that as well. In fact, I had an emergency right before my appointment, and she agreed to come to us and set up her entire station so quickly and got my and my best friend's makeup done in record time (helpful given that I had tried to chop my finger off by accident and was bleeding nonstop). I have booked Nicole to do makeup for my holiday party as well and I genuinely wish I had more events to book her for because she does such an amazing job.

    Nicole did such an amazing makeup job with me and my wedding party. Not only was she on time and always very professional, but she is so versatile in that she really listened to everyones' preferences and was able to do very natural styles up to high glamour. She's also just a sweetheart, and we felt very comfortable with her and her assistant on the day of. Overall, very pleased and would recommend her services to any central-VA brides!

    Cannot stress enough how bomb my hair and makeup was. I am so so picky with hair and makeup I usually don't like it done professionally. Both her and Cecily ( hair partner) blew me away. Also they are lightning fast and it made the day go by stress free. These girls are way talented and they did exactly what I asked of them. So so so good.

    Nicole was fabulous! From the trial to the day of the wedding, she was easy to work with and did a great job. I am not great with makeup and didn't give her much direction - just showed her a couple pictures on Pinterest of looks that I like - and she did an amazing job. She was fun to work with, laid back, and really efficient. Both she and the hair stylist that she brought (who was also amazing!) did touch-ups for all the bridesmaids before we started pictures and were even nice enough to give the flower girls a little bit of glam. I would 100% recommend her to anybody looking for a makeup artist for their wedding or any other special event.

    I used Nicole and Cecily for my on-site hair and make-up. They did an amazing job making sure that I looked the best that I could and my bridesmaids and mom, too! I appreciated their flexibility throughout the whole process. I changed up my hair about two weeks out from the wedding and requested another hair trial. They also were able to accommodate us when our wedding date moved up one day due to the arrival of Hurricane Matthew! Thank you so much for the great work!
