    Couldn’t ask for better!!

    My wedding was on April 13th 2024, Glamified beauty did such an amazing job!! I had them do my hair and makeup for rehearsal and all my bridesmaids and myself for the wedding day, they treat you like friends and family, I couldn’t have asked for a better team this exceeded my expectations. I felt so beautiful both days and was very happy with how everything turned out. They’re the best in the business!! Whenever I’m back in California and I need my hair and makeup done I know who I’m calling! I highly recommend!!!!

    Gorgeous hair and make up

    Nicole and her team did my and my bridal party hair and make up and we ALL loved it.
    Each artists nailed the various makeup and hair styles requested by my party perfectly. I was a little nervous how they were going to do my 76 year old moms hair and make up and worried it would look too much but it was so perfect and my mother looked absolutely gorgeous.
    My own hair and make up exceeded my expectations. We schedule a trial run and i LOVED my make up at the trial run. i was going for a natural glam look. Nicole did each eye differently so i could decide which i liked better. but then based on the photos she changed a few other things the day of the wedding and it looked even better than the trial.
    but I'll be honest, my hair at the trial was not the best. We both went home with homework to do to be able to execute better at the wedding. I was feeling a little nervous but nicole was great and we got on the phone again before the wedding to go over again exactly what i wanted and adjustments we were making to pull it off and i felt confident about it.
    the end result of my hair the day of my wedding was absolutely gorgeous. she nailed my vision and more!
    it was just beyond perfect. exactly what i wanted.
    I felt the most beautiful i have ever felt.

    Thank you so much Nicole!
    I am so thrilled I choose you to do my wedding.

    Amazing Work! My Entire Party Loved Nikki! Definitely Recommend!

    Was waiting for some pictures to come in to be able to show her work with quality photographs. Nikki was amazing from beginning to end! She was very helpful and supportive with all of my questions and recommendations. My bridal party, mom, and my MIL enjoyed her work immensely. She installed extensions for one, did glam and natural makeup for some, and styled my natural hair that I wanted to embrace for my special day! I have a very diverse and picky (lol) group of loved ones, and she was THE BEST to have throughout the whole journey! So sweet, kind, and patient! Would absolutely recommend based strictly on the quality of her work as well! Uses only the best products/tools, truly just got lucky with booking her for my wedding

    Hair & Makeup

    Nikki is so fun and enjoyable to be around, which makes getting your makeup and hair done for your big day so much easier. She was making me laugh the entire time making my photos come out so candid and amazing. From the start she was very responsive, she brought a team who were all on time and very quick paced. I had a rather large bridal party so they had their work cut out for them and delivered. We were all ready on time and beautiful. She was very accommodating, changing up the timeline even when we were cutting it close. She was easy to work with and didn't get offended if you wanted something a little bit different. Long story short, she executed exactly what I wanted and I looked exactly how I pictured. This was important to me and she knew that and made sure to deliver. Can't recommend Nikki enough.

    Wedding Hair and Makeup

    If you have been searching for a wedding hair/ makeup artist, look no further! Nikki from Glamified Beauty Co was so instrumental in helping us to have the perfect day. I absolutely loved my hair and makeup, as did my mom and sisters. Nikki and her assistant were timely, professional, and sweet, and brought such a calming presence to the morning. Looking forward to the next fancy event so that Nikki can do my hair and makeup again!

    BEST Glam Queen!

    Not only did my make up look like perfection but it also lasted more than 12 hours and probably even longer had I not washed it off. The quality of make up used is elite so everything just settles on the skin perfectly.
    Nicole AKA Glam Queen is the most genuine and sweetest, the day of my wedding I was so anxious so she offered to pray for me which made my day. Thank you Nicole!!. You are a beautiful person inside and out and I look forward to having you glam me up in the future.

    Nikki V Hair & Makeup's reply:

    Hi Jessica! Thank you so much for always trusting me with Makeup. I am so happy I was able to be a part of your special day. You are truly a gem much love.

    Memorable experience with great MUA!

    My experience with Nicole was amazing! She made the getting ready experience so memorable for me and my family. I felt like I knew her forever. She is so knowledgeable about the make up she uses and will even offer tips and guides leading up to your wedding day. She was super flexible with the bridal trial and made sure the look I was aiming for was accomplished and made me feel super confident for the big day! She is super sweet and a lot of fun to hangout with I would definitely recommend her!

    Bridal Make Up/Hair

    The team was extraordinary! 10/10 service. They were so accommodating, lovely to be around, thoughtful, extremely skillful, and just kind-hearted. My wedding make up and hair was absolutely flawless and if I had to do it over again, I’d select the same team. They did myself (bride) and my 3 bridesmaids and worked with our schedule when one of my bridesmaids’ flight was delayed and she was arriving a little late. Absolutely recommend them.

    Hi Nicole! Thank you so much for your review. We enjoyed being a part of your big day and had so much fun doing hair and makeup for you and your bridesmaids.

    Nikki went above and beyond to create the perfect look

    I just wanted to thank Nikki for making my special day even better!

    She was very easy to communicate with and made sure to listen to each of our desires.
    We all wanted a soft natural makeup/ hair look and she did exactly that! Not only did the makeup look so smooth it lasted the whole night. Same with the hair. It wasn’t frizzy or messy. It stayed gorgeous from dusk till dawn.
    She did airbrush makeup on myself( bride) and soft glam for the rest of my bridesmaid except for the maid of honor( she’s so extra). She also applied falsies so quick and they did not bother me at all. I rarely wear them and was surprised of how comfortable they were.


    If you are considering Nikki for hair and makeup I say go for it. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Nikki for making my fairytale dream look come to life!

    Thank you for trusting me and allowing me to be apart of your special day! I wish nothing but happiness for you and your husband

    Nikki and her team were a dream come true for my special day. They were all professional but still relatable. The thing I loved the most was their attention to details and listening to each one of our needs.I have referred many family and friends to Nikki and she will continue to be my MUA until she’s out of business! Thank you for being amazing

    My dream natural makeup!

    Nikki and her team were so amazing. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup, and I told Nikki about my concerns with not feeling like myself on my wedding day. From the trial to the wedding day, she took my feedback so well and of course her expertise truly made my dream look come to life. I also thought I wanted to wear my hair down, but after showing her my dress and explaining the look I wanted to go for, Nikki crafted the most beautiful, bridal up-do for my wedding day.

    I can't imagine anyone else doing my makeup and hair for this special day. Nikki's good vibes and expertise are truly unmatched.

    Morgan! Thank you so much for trusting me throughout the whole process. It makes me beyond happy to hear that you loved your look. Once again, thank you for your kindness!!

    Nikki and her team made my wedding day incredible!

    Nikki and her team were fantastic. They did hair for my 5 bridesmaids, the moms, and myself. They were quick and they did an amazing job. My girls came prepared with the styles they wanted and Nikki and her team made it happen. For my hair, I wanted Hollywood waves. I wanted a full look that would stay all day. I was very happy with my look.

    Quality of the product was amazing!

    My hair and makeup turned out remarkable and I am incredibly picky! My hair that natural puffs up in the heat and humidity looked beautifully glossy and perfectly contained in my photos. I was sweating throughout the day and yet my makeup remained perfect, no one could tell! After two trials my hair and makeup was everything I wanted!

    I wish it wasn't the case

    I have gone back and forth on whether or not to write this because I don't want to hurt anyone's business but I also want to prevent a bride from having the same experience as me.

    I will start by saying that I truly felt like the most beautiful bride on the day of my wedding and Nikki had a huge role to play in that. The hair she did for me made me feel like a princess and I'm really grateful that I felt that way on such an important day. I did end up having to do my own makeup on the wedding day however, since Nikki ran out of time because she was an hour late. This was disappointing because we had five girls in total that needed their makeup to be done and all of us had to either do most of it ourselves and one person having to do their makeup entirely on their own. I wasn't mad on the day of my wedding, although I was extremely stressed and that wasn't really how I envisioned the morning to go. I do take partial blame for it however, because I overlooked some red flags that I saw from the beginning. Nikki was 45 minutes late to our original trial, but I decided to brush it off and hoped it was just a one-time thing because I had already paid a $1000 deposit (which was the first red flag). I should have known when she had me book her and pay a $1000 deposit before we even had a trial that it was not normal. I felt pressured. My advice to any bride out there is to book a trial before booking them for the day of their wedding, and if they don't allow it and insist on you booking without a trial... it should be a red flag!

    Before the trial Nikki had me fill out a form where I could upload my hair and makeup goals. I uploaded pictures and wrote notes so that we would be on the same page for the trial. Once she showed up to the trial she asked me what I wanted to do. Another flag was raised because we had talked about it in our emails and I had filled out her form. This made me feel like she was unprepared. She asked me again on my wedding day what I wanted to do for my makeup. I honestly couldn't believe it.

    My MIL was the last person to attempt getting her makeup done and she asked Nikki if she was ready to do it and Nikki responded, "if you want me to." My MIL was confused because she had paid for it. Nikki ended up doing a quick, simple look on her but forgot to put mascara on her. We all knew Nikki was overwhelmed trying to get as much done as she could in the short time frame so we all remained really gracious and did not make a big deal about having to do things ourselves. I think Nikki is a great person and artist but lacks a little bit in planning.

    I've reached out to Nikki since and not heard back from her.

    Nikki V Hair & Makeup's reply:

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. I truly wish your experience had been different, as I take great pride in my work and in helping every bride feel beautiful and confident on their special day. I’m also very grateful that you felt beautiful and loved your hair, that truly means a lot to me.

    That said, I’d like to clarify a few details for accuracy.

    I was not late to your trial appointment. Before your wedding day, we had also touched base to confirm changes and adjustments, ensuring everything was clear and aligned. It is standard practice for me to ask my brides again on the wedding day what look they’d like, even if we’ve previously discussed it, to make sure we are 100% on the same page before starting.

    On the day of your wedding, I did arrive later than expected due to a miscommunication and navigation issue that caused me to be redirected to the wrong location. I sincerely apologize for that delay and any stress it caused. Despite that, we had already agreed beforehand that you would be doing part of your own makeup and that I would be completing only your foundation and eyeshadow, which I did as planned.

    During the hairstyling process, I had to redo your hair multiple times because the original styles you requested were not achievable with your hair’s natural texture and fullness. I explained this several times and provided the two realistic options that could be done, which we ultimately went with.

    Regarding your mother-in-law, she had expressed that she wanted a very natural makeup look and mentioned that she rarely wears makeup at all. I did, in fact, apply mascara at the very end of her service. It was not forgotten.

    As for the timing, I did my best to accommodate your request for only 20 minutes per person, even after explaining multiple times that this would not be enough time to achieve full, detailed makeup looks. This experience taught me the importance of being more firm with scheduling to ensure the best quality of work for everyone involved.

    Lastly, my booking policies, including deposits and contracts, are standard within the bridal industry, but I’ve taken this experience as an opportunity to continue refining communication and planning for future clients.

    I truly value honesty, professionalism, and respect in every client relationship. While I regret that your experience did not reflect my usual standards, I appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation and to continue improving.

    Wishing you all the best in your marriage and beyond.
