Just had my hair & make up trial - Amazing!

Wow, what can I say. Nicola is absolutely lovely.
After showing her some pictures of what I liked, she interpreted the styles perfectly. Not a duplication, rather her own take on them.
I am so happy and can't wait for Nicola to get me and my bridesmaids ready for the big day in August. Thanks so much Nicola!

Absolutely amazing!

I booked Nicola for my makeup for my wedding along with two bridesmaids, a flower girl, my mum and my mother in law.
Nicola was so friendly and made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable, she talked my mum through step by step explaining the whole process leaving her super relaxed and absolutely over the moon with her makeup. (As we’re we all)
Overall Nicola was brilliant. Highly professional everyone’s makeup looked amazing all day!

Nicola was a pleasure to have in our home on our wedding day. She gave fab advice and worked with all four of us to create the looks we wanted. She met with me initially to discuss what I was looking for and to look through her portfolio which I really appreciated and gave me change to get to know Nicola. She then came for a trial day and spend more than enough time working with us on what we wanted for the day. Nicola went above and beyond for us and was such a calming influence on my wedding day. As well as a fantastic make up artist, Nicola is an all round lovely person who loves her work and speaks passionately about it. I would definitely book Nicola again without hesitation! I cannot say thank you enough! X

10/10 wedding hair and makeup

Nicola was so much more than just a hair and makeup artist for my wedding day. She was incredibly friendly, kind, funny, patient and efficient. Nicola was great with all of the bridal party (ages from teenage to mid 50s) and we all felt relaxed and at ease and with her. She was also so knowledgeable about her products and proud to only use cruelty free products which was a big selling point for me as I tried to make my wedding as environmentally friendly as possible. Nicola required very little direction to understand the “look” I was going for and managed to make us all look and feel so naturally beautiful. She suggested creating a shared Pinterest board which was a great way for me to share styles I was interested in. My airbrush makeup lasted beautifully all day despite the warm weather, hugging guests and dancing but Nicola provides a touch up kit in case it’s needed. All of our hairstyles (mix of up and down) still looked great by the end of the night too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nicola to anyone and would absolutely use her again.

Absolutely superb makeup artist

Nicola’s hair and makeup skills are superb. Her results were gorgeous, natural and exactly what I asked for. Communication with her was flawless, and she was supremely calm on the morning of my wedding. I would not hesitate to book her again. If you are looking for a hair and makeup artist, please be sure to book Nicola straight away!

Wedding Make-up

Nicola was absolutely amazing for my wedding back in October. The trial captured what I wanted perfectly without me even having much of an idea! I had no doubts on the day and my bridesmaids looks beautiful too. Nicola joined in with our Disney tunes in the morning and even though she didn’t do my hair, she made sure my veil was in place properly as my hair stylist had left. She really showed me she cared and it’s clear from the photos that the make-up really did make me look beautiful without looking like I was smothered in it!

Amazing makeup artist

We met Nicola last year and I knew immediately that I wanted her to do my wedding makeup. Not only does she do beautiful and natural makeup but she only uses cruelty free products also which was a massive selling point for me. We all absolutely loved our trial with Nicola and were even more happy with the makeup that she did for us on the wedding day. We all received lots of compliments for our makeup and in particular for simply looking like a better version of ourselves rather than being unrecognisable. Nicola is such a lovely person; she was happy to be on the other end of the phone for me when I needed advice and provided so much support on the morning of the wedding that went above and beyond her role as our makeup artist

Friendly service, great makeup

I really wanted cruelty free makeup for my wedding day which is why I found Nicola. After our first meeting I was made to feel at ease about the whole process, Nicola was rally easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable. We worked together at our trial to make sure my make up was what I wanted and on the day Nicola had listened to everything and did my make up perfectly as well as helping me feel calm before the ceremony. I was very pleased I’d booked her.

Nicola is amazing. Her makeup skills are exceptional, she really listens to what you want. The makeup lasted all day without even looking like it needed a touch up.

She is so down to earth, helpful and friendly, which is just what you need the morning of your wedding as she also helped calm my nerves. She even helped me to get dressed and organised before she left, which she didn't have to do.

She goes above and beyond for her clients and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is simply amazing.
