Absolutely exceptional

Niki is a truly excellent make up artist and I couldn’t have found anyone better for both of my wedding days. Her hair and make up skills are phenomenal, as are her interpersonal skills - she made everyone, from my eight year old niece to 76 year old mother, feel at ease, excited, and ready for the big days. Niki is exceptionally calm, organised, and communicative, I highly recommend her to anyone

Perfect Choice

We got married at Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire on 3 May 2025 and booked Nikki to do the hair and make-up for the bride, three bridesmaids and mother of the bride. Everyone was delighted with the end result, which Nikki and her assistant executed quickly and calmly on the day but it was thanks in no small part to meticulous planning on her part beforehand. The majority of the wedding party attended a trial run for both hair and make-up when Nikki made notes and took photos so that the big day itself was relaxed with everyone knowing what to expect. Nikki was professional and responsive in all our correspondence leading up to the booking which was so helpful and reassuring. We were all given a schedule before the day, with our respective time slots for hair and make-up and the whole morning ran to perfect time.

Everyone in the wedding party looked the best version of themselves and I’m sure the calm and relaxed atmosphere on the morning of the wedding was down to the vibe that Nikki brought. I would not hesitate to book Nikki again for professional hair and make-up again and have no hesitation in recommending her wedding services.

Amazing - thank you Niki!

Niki was absolutely amazing - such a talented hair and make up artist while also being so kind and supportive. Niki is so organised and so easy to communicate with which made planning for the morning of the wedding so straight forward. Thank you so much Niki!

Fabulous wedding makeup!

I couldn’t have been happier with my wedding day makeup! I don’t usually wear much makeup, and Niki understood that perfectly, keeping it natural while still making me feel extra special and glamorous. She really listened to what I wanted and brought it to life beautifully. I felt confident, comfortable, and still like myself, just the best version for such an important day. Highly recommend!

The ideal hair and makeup artist for your wedding

Niki is such a lovely person and hugely talented professional. I loved my trial hair and makeup and Niki put me completely at ease from the start. On the wedding day, we talked about some tweaks to the hairstyle which Niki adapted and sorted with ease, creating a beautiful final result. She really added to the fun and good feeling of the day and made me look beautiful. Thank you, Niki!

Niki is fantastic! Highly recommend!

My biggest personal fear, was truly looking “beautiful” on my big day. As someone who has no talent in hair or make up, I was really relying on someone taking the reins and helping me figure out what would work best for me. Niki did not disappoint!
Her home studio is absolutely stunning. She is friendly, warm, professional and clearly extremely talented. I also feel very reasonably priced!
Communication with Niki was always spot on, I never had to worry. On the day, Niki was early, and kept to her timeline. Ever a calming presence on the day, she truly made me feel the best I could possibly look. My mum, who wanted to have natural make up, was also so chuffed with her results. I absolutely recommend Niki for both hair and make up for your big day. Mine, and the bridesmaids hair lasted all night, even with it being a warm and windy day, and our make up did brilliantly, considering all the tears! Thank you Niki for being so great!

Book her now!

Niki did the bridal hair and makeup of myself and my two bridesmaids recently and I couldn't recommend her enough. From my initial enquiry all the way up until the ceremony, Niki was attentive, fun, and professional. She settled all my insecurities and made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. I also really appreciated how relaxed she made the wedding morning and settled any last minute nerves. Thank you Niki!!

Thank you, Niki!

I was so nervous to pick a make-up artist for my wedding as I've never had my make-up done before. However, Niki was so lovely and made me feel so at-ease from the first time I met her. I had a trial for myself and my sister and left feeling so fantastic that I knew I would book her for my wedding. On the day, Niki was calm and collected which was exactly what I needed. I was so happy with how I looked on the wedding day - I really didn't think I could actually look that beautiful! Thank you so much, Niki, I can't recommend you enough.

Gorgeous make up - lasted all day!

I first met Niki a few months before I decided to get married as she also offers make up tutorials in her at home studio.... also a service I highly recommend!!
So when it came to my wedding hair & make up Niki was my immediate call! Stunning, natural make up that lasts all day and perfect hair that also survived the wind 😊
More than being an incredible hair and make up artist Niki is a truly lovely person, calm, kind and friendly Myself, my MOH and mum had the best time getting ready and Niki really helped to ensure the start of my wedding day was relaxing.
Niki, thank you so much, I felt amazing all day! I will be seeing you for every event i ever go to!!

Very professional

I found Niki really approachable, friendly, flexible and great at what she does!

I'm not big into heavy make-up up and was worried it would come across really 'put on' but Niki was really good at being able to not disguise my face - instead keeping its natural features. She was also able to work with brown skin tones brilliantly.

She was flexible and really professional with emails, too.

If you want a natural but pretty look I'd definitely recommend her!

Very talented

Nikki is an amazing, very talented makeup and hair artist. She did an a brilliant job and was very responsive when I wanted things changed (e.g. asking for more hair to frame my face etc). She made my skin look flawless despite the fact i had a big spot and 4 hours of sleep the day before - would thoroughly recommend!

Thank you For the fabulous Wedding Makeup!

Niki was excellent from the trial to the wedding day. She is really easy to communicate and organise with. At the trail she was really lovely, listened to everything I said as well as my mum. I am not someone who wears a lot of makeup but Nikis makeup was so natural I still felt like myself!
On the wedding day she was very chilled, listened and chatted to all my bridemaids. My makeup on the day was exactly what I wanted and I couldn't have asked for anything better. She worked really well with our photographer and hair stylist.
I couldn't recommend Niki enough!!
Thanks,
Emma

Excellent wedding make up - thank you Niki!

From the first communication with Niki, she was friendly, professional and very helpful. I booked for Niki to do my make up and the make up of my bridal party on my wedding day having been told about what a good job she did for a friends wedding. During the make up trial she did a wonderful job and I left feeling amazing and knowing that I'd made the right choice for my big day. Niki gave me all the details of the make up products she had used during the trial, which I found so helpful. On the day itself Niki was warm and kind and my make up was exactly what I was hoping for. She also did a brilliant job with my bridesmaids and my mum. I'd highly recommend Niki to anyone looking to get their make up done for a wedding or special occasion of any kind. Thank you Niki!

Fantastic Hair & Makeup Service

Niki was such a professional. We had a trail and listened to my requests - then with a change in what I wanted for the big day Niki adapted to my requests and did a fab job on my hair & makeup and a super job for my bridesmaids too. Niki is chatty & friendly making the trail less daunting and was slick & calm on the day!
