December 31, 2023 at 12:00 amNicole 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.

December 31, 2023 at 12:00 amLong 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!

December 31, 2023 at 12:00 amNicole 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!

December 30, 2023 at 12:00 amNicole 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!!

December 29, 2023 at 12:00 amIf 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… Read more

December 29, 2023 at 12:00 amNicole 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… Read more

December 17, 2023 at 12:00 amI’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… Read more

December 17, 2023 at 12:00 amNicole 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… Read more

December 17, 2023 at 12:00 amNicole 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… Read more

December 30, 2022 at 12:00 amNicole 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.

December 29, 2022 at 12:00 amNicole 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 🙂

December 27, 2022 at 12:00 amI 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!

May 14, 2022 at 12:00 amNicole 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.

May 1, 2022 at 12:00 amWorking 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.

April 13, 2022 at 12:00 amBest 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!

January 18, 2022 at 12:00 amI 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.

December 27, 2021 at 12:00 amI 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

December 26, 2021 at 12:00 amNicole 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

December 26, 2021 at 12:00 amNicole 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.

October 7, 2021 at 12:00 amLoved 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!
