    Book with Nicole for your wedding!!

    If there is one thing to take away from reading this long review I am about to write, let me just say BOOK NICOLE FOR YOUR WEDDING ASAP! First, she is the most genuine, sweetest person you will meet and want by your side for your wedding day. Secondly, a make-up artist and esthetician all in one? What more can you ask for? When I found Nicole’s business and past reviews from others, I knew I wanted her for my wedding day! I have always been insecure about my skin and wanted to feel my very best on my wedding day, which is exactly how I felt thanks to her! I did her Bridal Boot Camp package (do it you won’t regret it) and my skin was the best it ever looked and felt leading up to my wedding day. Not only did I love my make-up and look for my wedding day, but my 7 bridesmaids and my mother (yes she did all 9 of us by herself cause she is a rockstar) all loved their looks as well and could not say enough about Nicole as a make-up artist and person overall. We had the best time hanging out with her in our getting ready suite and she made each of us feel the most beautiful without overdoing it and not looking like ourselves. She can go as natural or glammed up as you request. Having my skin and make up look perfect was a top priority for my wedding and Nicole went above and beyond at every facial appointment and the week leading up to my wedding day to make sure we accomplished just that. BONUS**** She also does airbrush tanning and I last minute decided I wanted a little something extra to boost my overall look and we got my airbrush done with a trial before and the actual one two days before my wedding and I was so happy with that service as well! Nicole made me feel like the most beautiful bride and it really came across well because so many guests told me how beautiful I looked. Lastly, after my make up trial I decided to sleep in my make up (I know should never do this and I usually do not) but I wanted to see if it would stay all night long and let me tell ya, I woke up and my make up looked the same as when we applied it. On my actual wedding I did not have to touch up or check my make up at all, just reapplied some lipstick as my night went on feeling flawless thanks to her. She is a make-up magician and I love her! We keep regular facial appointments now. Book her!

    Nicole is the best in the business

    Nicole is an absolute dream to work with. She is kind, an excellent listener, and a master at her craft. She will make sure that you get exactly what you want on your wedding day. Nicole is incredibly easy to work with and made me feel stunning on my wedding day. Nicole also did my mom's hair and make up on my wedding day and she had never felt more beautiful. Not only is Nicole amazing with hair and make up, but she is also a master in skincare and taught me how to best prep my skin for the make up to look it's best. I would HIGHLY recommend Nicole, anyone would be lucky to work with her.

    Hair & Make Up Artist

    Long overdue revue! I can’t recommend Nicole enough! She was absolutely amazing! She took the time to make sure I liked the hair style and the make up choices. I don’t wear much make up generally and fully trusted her with each decision! I’ve already started recommending her to my friends who are engaged. She made me feel beautiful on my wedding day!

    Look no further!

    Nicole was such a pleasure to work with for my wedding in Monterey. Even with the long trek from SF to Morgan Hill for my trial, it was so worth it! I was able to show her photos for my hair and make up. She was so knowledgeable about the reality of make up in a photo vs how it actually presents on your face. Who knew that Sofia Richie’s natural wedding look was more than meets the eye and required a make up artist to follow her around?? Nicole did! She also used make up suited for my dry skin (can’t say the same for my engagement picture MUA) and made sure to take notes for the day of. The make up never felt caked on and although I don’t wear much make up on a day to day basis, I loved it and did not feel overdone!! She is so easy to talk to and helped make my wedding morning feel more calm. She never seemed rushed or behind schedule (methodical schedule was all made ahead of time). She brought a second MUA (Silvia - who was also so sweet) with her and they worked well together (even though they have their own separate businesses). Everyone in my wedding party chose their desired hair and make up and they all looked beautiful (bridesmaids, MOB, and MOG)! My make up and hair looked great all day and she gave me tips for keeping everything looking amazing. She worked well with our wedding planner and other vendors and I was so glad to have found her (I think finding a good MUA was most stressful since everyone will see it)!! I really felt like a princess. Definitely recommend!!

    Feeling gorgeous on my special day!

    I’ve had MUA done by Nicole for my best friend’s wedding in September 2021 and worked with her on my wedding day in August 2023. Working with Nicole was such a delight and I’m so happy I still see her for my facials. When I started seeing Nicole in February 2023 she really helped me achieve my wedding glow before laying on any makeup. My makeup and hair held up so well on my big day (and even on my friend’s wedding day where it was super hot).
    Whenever I would communicate with Nicole she was very responsive and professional. Nicole and her team did such an amazing job on my wedding day, all the bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup.

    Nicole has a very positive attitude and it was so refreshing to work with her on my wedding day. I highly recommend working with her on your big day! I do recommend her facials as well, because those facials really helped me glow on my wedding day.

    Wedding hair, makeup and skin care :-)

    Nicole and her team did my hair and makeup for my wedding. I was lucky enough to do her bridal boot camp facials leading up to my big day and I was so happy with my skin on my wedding day. It was also fun getting to know her sweet personality and bonding over our fur babies in the months leading up to the wedding so that by the day of, it felt like I had another friend that was getting ready with me. She was flexible on timing, had my bridal party ready early, and was a fun addition to the big day. My whole bridal party loved their hair and makeup. I had recently had surgery leaving a scar on my neck. Nicole covered my scar with makeup to level that I felt comfortable. Huge thanks to Nicole, I felt the most beautiful I’d ever felt on my wedding day. Nicole was the best! I’ve already got her booked for my maternity photos as well. Thank you Nicole!!

    Nicole is amazing!

    Nicole was amazing to work with! She was responsive at all times through the booking process and leading up to my wedding. I usually don’t wear a lot of makeup and for my wedding I wanted to find a makeup artist that would give me a natural glam and Nicole exceeded my expectations. My makeup and hair looked great in all my wedding pictures and so did my bridesmaids hair and makeup. Not only is Nicole great at what she does but she is super sweet!

    Best hair and makeup vendor!!

    Nicole is the best!! She does amazing work and is truly the sweetest person to work with. She listens to her clients and brings their vision to life. She arrived early on my big day and had my 4 bridesmaids, my mother and myself ready on time and all looking beautiful! She took the time to show my sister how to put in and take out my veil without messing up my hair. I also went to her before hand for a few facials and my skin looked amazing on my special day!! I cannot recommend her enough!!

    Amazing through and through!

    Nicole was such an amazing person to work with! I was able to do a trial with her, were we narrowed down my look. She was attentive and listened to things I wanted to modify or change. Day of wedding, Nicole's calm demeanor helped me stay calm! All my bridesmaids loved their look as well! I highly recommend Nicole!

    Absolutely Perfect!!

    Nicole was so amazing throughout the whole process for my wedding! She was so professional and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. She did a perfect job on my hair and makeup! Her assistant did a beautiful job on my bridesmaids as well! Couldn’t have asked for a better stylist for our big day ♥️

    Nicole is a GEM!

    Nicole is an absolute GEM!!
    Working with her leading up to my wedding and on my wedding day was such a pleasure. Nicole is not only incredibly talented, but she has the heart of a teacher. She taught me SO MUCH throughout my bridal bootcamp, from what types of facials would be the most beneficial to achieve my wedding day goals, to the types of skin care products that would work best for my skin long after the wedding was over. I started my skincare journey with her towards the end of 2022, and am still a loyal client over a year later! As for my wedding day look, we did a hair and makeup trial beforehand, and Nicole was super receptive to feedback and made all the changes I requested to make sure I felt my most beautiful self on the big day. Everyone in my bridal party who had their hair and makeup done by Nicole could not speak more highly of her as well.
    Nicole is authentic, kind hearted, hard working, professional, and truly cares about her clients. I could not recommend her more!

    Book Nicole!

    Nicole is an absolute dream to work with! She is so nice, very easy to talk to, and professional. The hair and makeup trials before the big day were helpful for me to share my ideas and to hear her suggestions for the look I was going for. Nicole made me feel comfortable and like myself on my wedding day. I am so glad that I found Nicole! Booking with her was the best decision ever for bridal hair and makeup. My hair and makeup looked so natural in all the photos and lasted all night. I will be booking with her for any future hair/makeup needs :)

    Best makeup artist around!

    Nicole has done all of our family weddings! It’s a no brainer when one of us gets engaged we call her! Nicole is the best at what she does. She just knows how to make a bride comfortable and happy with the result. Her talent is unmatched. I can’t recommend her enough!

    Amazing Makeup Artist!

    Nicole is AMAZING! I hired Nicole for my bridal hair and makeup and she did such an incredible job! I've never felt more beautiful and my hair and makeup lasted the whole day. I showed her pictures of how I wanted my makeup and she did above and beyond. She is talented, professional, and so sweet! I will definitely be using her again for future events and will be recommending to my friends/family.

    Covid Weddings

    Nicole is the biggest sweetheart to work with! Had the pleasure of working with her during pandemic times. Like many brides we had to go through many changes to our schedule and postponements. Nicole was always very responsive and patient with all my many questions. She also is very attentive to detail and willing to make changes to makeup and hair based on your preferences. Thank you Nicole for everything! You made me feel so beautiful on our big day

    100% Recommend Nicole’s Vanity!

    I cannot say enough about Nicole. I met her when I decided to have her do my makeup for my engagement photos and she did a fabulous job. At that point I decided I needed her to do my makeup for my wedding as well as my bridal parties makeup. I saw her ever 4-6 weeks like clockwork for almost a year leading up to my wedding getting facials and skin care tips from her. By the time my wedding came along my skin was no filter or heavy foundation needed! I was so happy with her services for my wedding, we all felt so beautiful! I will be continuing to see Nicole for my monthly facials… she is a must for all your wedding prep ladies! It’s 6 months after my wedding and Nicole is STILL a go to on my self care routine… see her- be hooked! My skin has never looked better. Plus she is so sweet!

    Nicole is the best!!

    Nicole made me feel my absolute best, not only on my wedding day but leading up to it.

    I did a few facials leading up to my wedding day and Nicole was so gentle and great at gauging what my skin needed to radiate.

    When it came to my trial, she was able to take my inspo pics and not only come to life, but she was able to customize the looks to best enhance my features.

    During the day of, she was so accommodating with scheduling. Her calmness really made the getting ready process stress free. Everyone in the wedding party, including my mom and MIL let me know they have never felt AND looked that good!

    I would recommend Nicole for any of your hair, make up and skin care needs. Thank you Nicole!!

    My favorite wedding vendor

    Working with Nicole was a dream! She was my favorite wedding vendor. I found her on instagram and loved her natural glam style. She was also very affordable compared to other bay area artists. We did my makeup trial the day of our engagement shoot and my hair trial a few months later. I struggled with my hair choice and didn't love my trial. On my wedding day, Nicole took my feedback and made my hair look amazing. She is so positive and fun to talk to. All of my bridesmaids LOVED their makeup. Nicole brought Silvia along to do their hair and Silvia was extremely detailed. Everyone looked amazing! I would recommend Nicole to all brides out there who want to glow on their their wedding day.

    Nicole made me beautiful!

    Nicole is a true artist. She made me feel absolutely stunning. She was also very flexible when some of my bridesmaids and family members wanted to have her do their beauty, too. In fact, she was ahead of schedule on wedding day. She's also super fun to talk to and time in her chair flew by! You won't regret working with Nicole.

    Hype woman!

    Aside Nicole being amazing at the hair and makeup that she does (which is why I initially picked her), she is the perfect wedding vibe! She is the kind of hype woman you need on wedding day! You will not be disappointed. I kept looking at my bridal party thinking how effortlessly gorgeous she made everyone look! Thanks Nicole! 🥰

    Amazing experience!

    Nicole was so easy to work with and was super accommodating as I ended up needing to have more make up and hair services for family members than I initially thought. She’s so SO sweet and easy to talk to, and my wedding hair & makeup was perfect. I would definitely recommend her again!!

    Nicole is Amazing!!

    Best decision ever to have Nicole part of my big day! Not only is she the sweetest person ever! But I had 10 bridesmaids plus myself and my mother and every single one of us felt absolutely beautiful! She is extremely friendly, on time, communicated throughout the planning and Covid rescheduling. Also bery important, the makeup stayed all night long!

    Amazing!

    I could write a novel full of positive things to say about Nicole. She did my hair and make up for my bridal shower, and my wedding. She was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! She was on time, friendly, flexible, fun, the make up quality and her talent was out of this world!!! 10000/10000. I will be using Nicole’s talents for every event from here on out. She was able to actually do something beautiful with the mane on my head, and she made all of my girls look absolutely radiant 💕

    Obsessed with my Bridal hair/makup

    Loved working with Nicole! On my wedding day I changed my hair & makeup look from what we did during the trial & it came out perfect! Nicole was super easy going & I'm so happy she made my Bridal glam come to life. I had a group of (6) ladies of all ages, and everyone loved their glam. Nicole & Silvia (Another stylist who came with Nicole) was on time & kept on schedule. So happy with services. Thank you!

    Stress free experience

    I had never gotten my hair or makeup done before and Nicole immediately put me at ease. She was so professional and personable. The trial was so amazing, which helped me start my wedding day morning without any worries on if I would like my hair and makeup. My hair and makeup lasted all day on my wedding day and I was so sad when I had to take it off.
