How lucky am I to have met Nicole. Nicole did my face for a Hallowe'en party. Working off a picture of the look I wanted, Nicole created it to a T. Her studio is clean, professionally set up, a relaxed environment. Her attention to detail is paramount. She frequently did a temperature check to make sure I was doing ok. I was so impressed as were those at the party. Thank you Nicole! You have a true gift!

Nicole was excellent and did exactly what I was hoping for. I did natural glow-y bridal style makeup with a 1/2 updo hair style. I highly recommend working with Nicole! She was talented and fun to work with.

Nicole was early and did an amazing job. Makeup application was for a beauty pageant my daughter was in but when Nicole finished my look, I felt like I could win the pageant! I didn’t know exactly what I wanted and Nicole patiently listened and walked me through the process. Highly recommend and will be looking forward to working with her in the future.

Nicole responded quickly to my inquiry. I was in a time crunch in searching for a makeup artist at the last minute for a costume party I was attending and I was so happy to find Nicole! She’s great! She came to me and did an awesome job with my makeup - did exactly what I had in mind! My makeup lasted all night. We are definitely reaching out next year! Thanks, Nicole!
