Absolutely loved my hair and make-up done by Pretty Please Beauty. So glad I booked a hair and make-up trial because we were able to make a few minor tweaks on wedding day to more fit my style, and I was in love! Nickie (make-up) and Vanessa (hair) made my wedding morning run so smoothly by being punctual, receptive, professional, and polite. The mini prep talk Nickie had with me before she left also really helped to calm my nerves on the day-of. Thank you for everything! read more

I loved working with Nickie! I truly felt like a goddess the day of my wedding. Getting my hair and makeup done is always scary for me because I am so particular. Even from the trial, Nickie nailed it. She used top notch products and was always so responsive. She was also very patient and understanding every time I told her natural, natural, natural. :) I was foolish to even worry. Nickie and Ingrid did an amazing job on the whole bridal party. Everything turned out EXACTLY as we wanted and it was perfect! read more

I'm so great full for Nicki and Laura! They created the perfect look for our wedding in Santa Barbara. I don't wear a lot of makeup and my husband's wish was I look like myself. I know I probably drove Nicki crazy with my request of less and less, but she enhanced my look without adding too much. It was perfect! My hair was amazing! I got a million compliments on it. I'm posting friends photos for now, but will add the professional ones later. Just wanted to make sure I wrote a review because I was so pleased, as was my husband...which was more important to me. Love these ladies! read more

Nickie did my makeup for my wedding this past May. Prior to the big day we did a trial session. She was very professional and accommodating as I was coming from LA. During the trial session she really listened to how I wanted to look while inputting her creative suggestions. The result of the trial was an amazing look for my wedding. On my wedding day, Nickie was prompt and she even accommodated my sister who decided to have her makeup done that morning. Nickie did the makeup for two of my sisters and again the outcome was beautiful. In regards to my wedding day look- it was perfect. I loved it. I was sad to take off my makeup that night. Nicki uses airbrushed foundation and has a multitude of colors for all skin colors. I would recommend Nicki's services a hundred times over as the look is natural and pretty. I felt beautiful on my wedding day and Nickie helped by doing amazing work Thank you once again. read more

I booked Pretty Please Beauty for my wedding day and could not have been happier! Nickie nailed my dream look - modern 60's-inspired style with winged liner, a custom "bougainvillea pink" lipstick, and gorgeous, light airbrush makeup that was fresh and pretty. Zoa also nailed my dream hairstyle, a Bardot-inspired half updo with beachy waves. The volume, extensions and style held all night (and I danced A LOT!). I felt like a knockout version of myself and my fiance (husband!) totally agreed. Thank you, Nickie and Zoa for making me feel like the most beautiful, rad bride in the world! If you want wedding makeup that is gorgeous, doesn't feel heavy, and leaves you looking like the best possible version of YOU, Pretty Please Beauty is your answer. read more

Nickie and her team are fabulous! So professional, great communication throughout, and even accommodated me adding an additional service the week of the event.

With minimal direction my hair and make up was exactly what I wanted, Thank you for making my wedding that much better! read more

Nickie is amazing!!!! I am a wedding planner in Santa Barbara and she is my first choice when it comes to recommending beauty services. She does my personal makeup for photo shoots and last night she was scheduled to do my daughter's makeup before her senior portrait session. However, the salon that I sent my daughter to, right before her appointment with Nickie, royally screwed up her hair. I was left in a panic. Nickie swooped in and saved the day. She fixed her hair even better than we could have expected and my daughter was in love with the style! Needless to say, the makeup application was perfection! We are using Nickie again this weekend for the second photo session and will continue to use Pretty Please Beauty again and again!!! read more

I used PPB as our hair and make up team for my wedding and they were fantastic!! We all felt and looked so beautiful! Nickie and Andrea make a great team. They are fast, efficient and fun.

I had PPB do hair and makeup for my wedding 8-18-18. I live in San Diego but went up to SB for my trial and absolutely loved it. She listened to exactly what I wanted and it was perfect. My bridesmaids also all had positive things to say about their hair and makeup and they looked stunning. The makeup actually stayed on all night as well which is a major bonus. Nickie kept everything on time perfectly as well. Highly recommend PPB! read more

I hired Pretty Please Beauty to do hair and makeup for me and 7 girls!! Nickie kept everything on schedule and made sure it all went smoothly. Her team came to us and set up in our living room. It allowed for a very fun, relaxed wedding morning. And I loved how my look came together! read more

I have been meaning to finish this review for AGES. I was absolutely in LOVE with Nikkie's work.. and I'll admit I was a serious skeptic. I do my makeup every single day and I'm not one of those mascera and lipgloss kind of girls. I do the full eyeshadow, foundation, liner, etc etc. So I thought I was a pro and initially thought it was a big waste of money to hire a makeup artist. I was also terrified that she would make me look like an idiot because admittedly, the last time I had my makeup done, I ended up looking like Mortitia Adams from the Adams Family. The time before that, I somehow looked like a lion from over-contouring.(How did I look like a lion? I have no idea but I swear...). Anyway, once the trial was done, I was convinced. I had no idea how much of an amateur I was until she stepped in. She also did a ton of my family member's makeup and followed their direction very well! We had a few who were worried it would be too heavy or "too much" and it was beautifully tasteful. She even somehow recommended a liquid lipstick shade that I didn't hate and I generally hate lipstick. Miracle worker, this gal is. Anyway, HIRE HER! I was more than impressed. Thanks, Nikkie!!!! read more

Highly highly highly recommend! i wish i could give them more stars! Nickie and Andrea did my hair and makeup for my wedding (and rehearsal dinner) in June. I was SO relaxed on my wedding day and a big part of that was knowing my hair and makeup were in SUCH good hands. i felt beautiful, confident and like the best version of myself. My sister in law (who has been in countless weddings) said it was the best blowout she's ever had! The night of my rehearsal dinner i was running late to meet nickie and andrea in my room to get ready. i had a minor meltdown (wedding nerves) and nickie was so patient, kind and even ran down to the lobby to get me a disposable razor. My mom, grandma and mother in law were concerned about having makeup applied to their "older skin" but all were thrilled with the results and so impressed with nickie. again, i highly recommend Pretty Please Beauty.. I'm so happy i felt (and looked) so beautiful on my wedding day. read more

Just had a trial hair/make-up appointment two weeks ago for my wedding coming-up in September. Both turned out amazing! Nickie was great about figuring out how to do my make-up, as I came in with really no clue on how I wanted it done. Definitely found my look for the wedding. Laura, who did my hair, totally nailed the soft, clean curl look that I wanted. She gave me nice volume without making it too poofy. Both Nickie and Laura were extremely nice and helpful. I would highly recommend them to anyone! read more

I couldn't have been happier with my hair & make up for my wedding. Nickie and Laura took the time to listen, they were on time, and every single girl walked away happy with they way they looked (which never happens). I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted, but they were able to ask the right questions and they both delivered on what was in my head...and then exceeded my expectations. In addition, Nickie was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. Thank you for everything! read more

I am so glad happy I found Nickie!! She did my hair and makeup when I did a TV interview for the local FOX morning show. Nickie helped me figure out the best look for me, and came bright and early to my hotel with everything she needed for the session. She even brought a chair for me to sit in. She is so fun to work with and I really enjoyed our time together. She did a phenomenal job on my hair and makeup and I was super happy with how everything turned out. She also works fast in a good way so it saved me some time. Her fees are also very reasonable. I highly recommend her services! read more

Nickie is an amazing artist, and she listened to what I wanted, which was (I admit) pretty vague and rambly, and totally delivered an amazing look. As one of my friends said - I looked the best version of myself. She brought in an amazing hair stylist, Zoa, who tamed my mane of hair into a beautiful, and most importantly stable, up-do. I did a trial run, which was helpful to see what was working and what wasn't - but really they hit it out of the park the first time. They were a delight to work with, very calm, and made the getting ready process a delight. read more

I have so many great things to say about using Pretty Please Beauty for my wedding day hair and makeup! Nickie went above and beyond to ensure that things were not only perfect for me on my big day, but that my bridesmaids, mothers, annnnd flower girls were equally satisfied! The process of booking was simple, she was very accommodating, and prices were clear and very fair. I HIGHLY recommend using Nickie and her team for your wedding day hair and makeup needs! read more
