Trial * Make Up Trial: I was looking for a makeup artist who does a light, natural look since I don't normally wear a lot of makeup on a day to day basis. Nicole did exactly that! * Hair Trial: I wanted a half up, half down, with very curly hair since my curls tend to fall out at the end of the night. The hair clips that I bought wasn't what I had envisioned so Nicole suggested fresh baby breath instead which was the perfect small touch I was looking for. Day Of * Nicole, Danielle, and Silvia arrived at the venue on time. They each had their own hair/make up station. Even though we had 22 services, they stayed on schedule and it never felt rushed, always at ease. Everyone looked gorgeous and loved how their hair and makeup turned out! Overall * Nicole is so sweet, kind, and personable. She made me feel so calm and comfortable at both the trial and the day of. I would 1000% highly recommend her for both your wedding day hair and make up as she did a fabulous job! Thank you so much, Nicole! read more

Nicole is the absolute best! One of the nicest people I've ever met. We clicked right away during the trial and she knew exactly what I wanted. My bridal look came out even better on the day of my wedding! Not only did she do my hair and makeup, she killed it with the rest of my bridal party (6 makeup services). Her assistant, Silvia, helped with hair and did a fantastic job (7 hair services). I appreciate all the hard work both ladies did! I definitely recommend them for any future bride's wedding. read more

Nicole did such an amazing job on hair and makeup for my wedding on 1/23/26! She did hair and makeup for my mom, mother-in-law, sister and myself. I received so many compliments and my makeup stayed all the way through the night, even with the non-stop dancing. Nicole was so sweet and calming, I cannot recommend her enough!! Thank you Nicole for making my ladies and I look and feel beautiful. read more

Nicole is one of the sweetest and best people I've ever met! I have been seeing her for a little over a year now getting facials to prep for my wedding, and she also did my hair and makeup for my engagement photos as well as my wedding day. She is so sweet and has the best personality! She makes you feel beautiful even when you haven't been feeling your best. I booked Nicole for my engagement shoot photos last year and she did a FABULOUS job where the makeup stayed even through a light rain! So I knew she was the one I wanted to make me feel my best on one of the most important day of my life! I signed up for the Bridal Bootcamp facials and they made ALL the difference for the big day! The makeup went on like butter and my skin was glowing the whole night! Nicole and Sylvia took care of my family the morning of my wedding, and their awesome personalities made everyone feel relaxed and excited for the day! Everyone's hair and makeup looked AMAZING and everyone felt confident all night long! For me, I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt and you can tell in the photos because I just couldn't stop smiling. If you want to feel and look your best, for your wedding, or any event, choose Nicole! Not only does she slay the beauty game, but her demeanor will out you at ease and she'll hype you up! And I still plan to keep coming back to her for facials because she's the best. Love you Nicole!! read more

I was so glad I chose Nicole to do my hair and makeup. I read lots of reviews before choosing and looked at all the photos. Nicole is incredibly talented and is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. I had a couple of facials with her as well before the wedding. It feels like you've known her for years when you meet her. She listens to what you want and knows how to make it happen. My hair and makeup looked flawless, and I had total confidence on my wedding day. read more

Thank you so much to Nicole and her team for helping make my wedding such a special day. Nicole was so supportive, kind, and warm. She was attentive and open throughout our makeup trial & such a calming presence to have around on the morning of our big day. I can't wait to stop by for more beauty services in the future! read more

May 13, 2023 Nestldown, Los Gatos Nicole is the perfect makeup/hair artist for our wedding!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! We look through all these photos & can't help but keep smiling as we re-live the beautiful day. From very first booking our Nestldown wedding in 2019, to looking through multiple hair styles, to choosing Nicole, to postponing our wedding from 2021 to 2023, to all the emails back & forth, & loving every minute of working with her.... she's been so professional, kind, & understanding through this entire journey. I did some facials before the wedding & they were worth it, always felt great afterwards. I saved photo ideas for both weddings & she helped me put ideas together, braids/curls/volume. She always listens to when we have other ideas & uses her talents to make art. I love that we get to do a trial before the big day, it helps us not stress out. I had her as my stylist for both weddings, both times- beautiful job! So easy to work with. From getting ready in the Guest House with my Mom and Bridesmaids, it was very fun to work with her again. She's very organized for the wedding morning. My hair and makeup lasted the whole day & night & it looked great in the photos! She goes above & beyond to make sure you love the way you look- especially to look amazing as a bride. She's definitely talented in what she does! Look forward to working with you again! Thank you so much. With love, The Goldsmiths read more

I have never had my hair and makeup done for a wedding so I was a little nervous but I am so glad that I did! I appreciate the calm, caring and listening that Nicole did and was able to accomplish my transformation. The very first compliment was that I looked younger and that made me feel great. The time I spent with her was well spent and worth it. Bravo! read more

Nicole is the absolute best! She is the sweetest person to work with and so talented!! She does amazing hair and makeup and will ensure you look stunning on your special day. She really listens to her clients and brings their vision to life! She arrived early on my wedding day and was setup and ready to go on time. She had my 4 bridesmaids, my mother and myself all ready on time and looking beautiful. She took the time to show my sister how to put on and take out my veil with messing up my hair. Before my wedding I went to her for a few facials and my skin looked amazing on my big day!! I cannot recommend her enough!! read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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 hair 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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Nicole is amazing! I I was able to do Nicole's facial bridal bootcamp so I got to know Nicole leading up to my big day with monthly facials and she made the experience so much fun. She was always super sweet and helped prep my skin for my September wedding. She helped exceed all my expectations for my hair and makeup and I felt so beautiful. Both my hair and makeup lasted ALL DAY and I even slept with my up-do because I didn't want to undo all it's glory!;) I can't recommend her enough! read more

Nicole was so easy to work with and was super accommodating as I ended up needing to add-on more make up and hair services for family members than I initially thought.

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!! read more

Nicole was so sweet and did a fantastic job on my wedding hair and makeup! She was very responsive and accommodating during our wedding rescheduling due to the pandemic and let me set up a second trial when I changed my mind on hair style. I was happy after the trial but even more thrilled how it all actually turned out on the wedding day and photographed so well! My bridal party also looked beautiful and was very happy. read more

I cannot say enough about how great Nicole is! I saw her initially to do my makeup for my engagement photos over a year ago. She did such a great job that I decided to continue seeing her and to have her do my makeup and my bridal parties makeup for my wedding on 6/5/22. I continued to see her every 4-6 weeks for facials and to start and keep a skin care regimen. Honestly it became one of my favorite things to do! I haven't had such nice skin since my teens. Even though my wedding has passed I will definitely still be seeing Nicole for my facials every 6 weeks! She also did an absolutely beautiful job on my makeup and all my bridal party makeup. Everyone looked fabulous! read more

Since covid/wearing masks/stress my skin has been just awful! That is until Nicole came into my life! I first found her through Instagram and even though businesses were shut down she was able to recommend a custom skin care routine just for me and everything I've tried has been incredible! Especially the Osmosis serums... definitely worth the $$$ Then when personal care services could reopen, i have been able to get a few facials from her. She is the absolute sweetest human and makes you feel so so comfortable! Definitely trust her with all my skincare recommendations! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Nicole was the perfect stylist for my wedding!! She made sure I was comfortable the whole time. My hair and makeup looked amazing!! She also did an amazing job on my parties hair and makeup! We felt and looked like rockstars read more

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 on my face 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! read more

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!! read more

I am absolutely blessed to have Nicole as my cousin-in-law! When I had my make-up and hair trial, she made me feel comfortable and welcomed. We definitely had a similar taste in simplicity which worked out because she was able to find the look I was searching for. I showed her pictures I saved on pinterest which helped her see what I liked. On the day of the wedding Nicole did my mom's hair and make up, and my mom definitely felt at ease with her despite not having a trial. When it was my turn, we were able to talk about how I was feeling (nervous and excited!) to talking about the Backstreet Boys Concert. I absolutely recommend Nicole for being incredibly down to earth, professional, and knowing what look you're trying to capture for your big day! read more

Nicole is absolutely amazing! She and Sylvia did the makeup and hair for my daughter's bridal party last Saturday. Most of the girls (including my daughter) don't wear makeup and she did the most fabulous job creating a natural, beautiful look for all the girls. Not only is she talented, she is very sweet!

Nicole is truly amazing! Even before the wedding she worked with my lack of makeup knowledge and adjusted to my needs. She did 2 make up trials with me because she wanted to make sure I was 100% happy with my final look. I don't normally wear make up. Nicole was able to balance so well between long lasting coverage and light feel of the foundation. On my wedding day Nicole and her colleague arrived promptly, they were very sweet and fun to work with. All of my bridesmaids loved their work. The two worked well and effectively together. I could not recommend Nicole more, If you are looking for an amazing artist who is fun to work with she is your gal. read more

I was extremely happy with my makeup - it was a perfect balance of feeling a bit glam but still looking like myself. read more

Nicole was absolutely amazing. She is so incredibly talented and was able to make all my bridesmaids feel so beautiful. I was amazed at her ability to recognize everyone's individual features and coloring and give everyone a look that suited them best. In addition to her amazing makeup skills, she is one of the sweetest people and so fun to talk to. Her presence and demeanor was exactly what every bride would want on her wedding day (happy, kind, calm, efficient, etc.) Absolutely loved having Nicole be a part of our wedding, and would recommend her to everyone I know. read more

Nicole did my hair and makeup on my wedding day last September and she was such a delight to work with! We scheduled a trial a few months before my wedding and she really helped me figure out my makeup look and options for my hair (all I knew is that I wanted a curly updo, defined eyes, and burgundy lip). The trial really helped me feel more confident for how it would turn out on my wedding day and sure enough, she did not disappoint! I absolutely loved how everything turned out! Her pricing is extremely reasonable too especially for the bay area. I also knew I wanted a secondary stylist to help with the group size I had (we had 7 people including myself who got both hair and makeup done) and the lady she brought in did a great job also. They both arrived on time the morning of and were very efficient to get everyone finished on time. Overall, Nicole is the best. I would 100% use her services again! read more

Nicole is the absolute best! I worked with her when I was a bridesmaid in a friends' wedding and again for my own 6/2018 engagement photos and 9/15/2018 wedding (eyes only - unfortunately she was already booked for a wedding!). She is a very talented MUA and takes into account your personal preferences. Since I don't wear makeup often, I loved that she was able to make me up in a natural way that enhanced my features. The makeup also lasted all day (12+ hours) without feeling heavy. Not to mention she is very sweet, fun, easy to work with, very responsible and flexible :) I would recommend her to anyone in need of an excellent MUA in the bay area! read more

Nicole is an amazing makeup artist. She did my bridal makeup for me and my bridesmaids. I Found her online and using her was the best decision. She is very patient, friendly, and listens to your input. If you show her a photo or describe what you want, she will try to do your makeup as you wish. She used clean and new brushes for me which I really appreciated- everything was very hygenic overall.

My wedding was months ago, but I still wanted to write a great review for Nicole's services! Pros: + When Nicole did my makeup for the wedding, I looked like me but an awesome-er version that would actually show up in pictures! During the trial we tried a few things until we got the right look. She really took her time with me, which was great for an indecisive person like myself. Super easy to work with. + Her prices are posted online and she is more affordable than other local makeup artists. So annoying when I have to call to find out prices! + She is just a sweet and lovely person to be around! Cons: - Not a reflection of Nicole (hence the 5 starts), but I did not like the makeup style of her assistant. I was looking for more natural and she was more dramatic. Great for a boudoir shoot, but not for my wedding. Book her for your wedding!!! I SO recommend it! She's awesome with eyebrows too =) read more

Nicole is AMAZING!!!!! She has done my make-up a few times for different events, so I already knew I had to have her for my wedding day! Leading up to the trial, Nicole has great communication about what I wanted to make sure she was prepped and had an idea in mind. During my trial she was super patient with me and was willing to accommodate any changes I requested. She is super professional, but also very easy to talk to like you've known her forever. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day thanks to Nicole!!! I will definitely keep booking her for future events as well. read more
