Nicola did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup on my wedding day and was such a lovely addition to the morning. She was calm, friendly, conscientious, and incredibly professional throughout, which helped create such a relaxed atmosphere while getting ready.

She also did the makeup for my mum and my husband’s mum, and all three of us were so pleased with how we looked and felt on the day. My hair and makeup lasted perfectly from morning through to the evening celebrations. I would highly recommend Nicola to any bride looking for a talented, down to earth and reliable hair and makeup artist!

Nicola is amazing! She made me look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day. She stayed in touch from the moment I booked her. Any queries I had she replied straight away. She was amazing the morning of. She was so relaxed. I’ve only meet Nicola twice - once for my trial and then my wedding day but I felt had known her forever. She made me feel so confident. My bridesmaids and the mums all looked incredible. I would recommend Nicola to everyone. She’s so lovely and nothing is too much trouble. Thankyou so much for making feel beautiful🤍

I couldn’t have asked for a better make up artist for my wedding day. Nicola brings a calm and reassuring energy which made the whole morning feel relaxed and enjoyable. She listened carefully to exactly what I wanted and created a look that made me feel beautiful, confident, and still like myself. This is especially important as I have sensitive skin and worried about how my skin would look. My make up lasted perfectly all day and all night. I received so many compliments!

Not only was my make up flawless, but Nicola also did an incredible job with my hair. She took so much care to create the exact style I had envisioned, and it stayed perfect throughout the entire day and night. Again, this was another worry of mine as I have extremely thick, curly hair!

Nicola was amazing with my young bridesmaids, making them feel comfortable and excited throughout the morning. She also made my Mum feel special and looked after her with the same level of care and attention.

Nicola is so talented and I would recommend her to any bride.

Thank you so much, Nicola 🤍

If I could give Nicola more than five stars, I absolutely would!

She was amazing on the morning of my wedding. Not only making me feel like the best version of myself, but also ensuring my mum, mother-in-law, and best friend all felt just as beautiful on such a special day.

From the trial through to the wedding morning, she was fantastic from start to finish. She stayed right up until we left, making sure everything was perfect before I headed to the ceremony.
Everything was so calm, well planned and timed which made the morning flow so beautifully!

I prefer a natural makeup look, which is why Nicola was recommended to me. At my trial, I told her, “I just want to look like a better version of myself,” and she delivered that perfectly.

I love all my photos and clips captured on the day because I loved my hair and makeup that much. It makes such a difference.
Honestly, if I could book Nicola for every occasion… date nights, the races, anything, I would. That’s how amazing I felt!

Thank you so much from Myself, Gail, Janet, and Claire. We felt incredible all day!

Nicola helped make my wedding day so special. From the trial though to the day itself, Nicola was calming, professional and so talented. My whole party loved their hair and make up. Nicola really listened to what I wanted and really delivered! I would absolutely recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

Nicola is absolutely worth choosing for your big day! Not only does she provide an excellent service, making me and the rest of the bridal party look and (more importantly) feel beautiful, she also has a warm and calm demeanour that really helped to calm my pre wedding nerves! During our trial she was extremely thorough in order to achieve the desired look, and extremely precise to ensure I was happy.
I went to bed with my makeup still on (too many proseccos) and still woke up looking great!! She also provided helpful hints and tips for anything wedding related, not just hair and makeup. A true professional!

As someone who doesn’t often have my hair and make up done, from the beginning Nicola made me feel that I was in completely safe hands. From my trial and through to the day Nicola was always willing to answer queries and helped address any concerns that I had. My hair and make up on the day were flawless, as were those of my mum, sister and another bridesmaid. I have honestly never felt better and so much of that is thanks to Nicola. I explained to her my concerns about the day and these were all addressed and I genuinely didn’t give them a second thought all day. Coupled with this she was such a calm and supportive presence on the morning of, going above and beyond by taking videos of different parts of the morning. If I could give Nicola more than 5 stars I would, and I could not recommend her enough x

I’ve been lucky enough to have my make up done several times over the years by Nicola. She first did my wedding makeup almost four years ago and made me feel completely at ease from the moment I had my makeup trial, when she listened to what I wanted and explained how to create the best look for me. On my wedding day she was calm, kind and genuinely caring. She went above and beyond on the day, even taking beautiful extra photos and adding special little touches I wasn’t expecting, which made the whole experience feel so personal.
Since then I’ve had a 1:1 lesson with her, which was amazing! She explained everything so clearly and tailored it completely to me. She’s also done bridesmaid makeup for friends of mine, and every single time she’s been consistent, professional and made us all feel incredible.
Her attention to detail is second to none, she really listens to what you want, and you always leave feeling confident and looked after. I recommend her to everyone — she’s truly exceptional at what she does. Thank you Nicola!

Nicola was an amazing choice for my wedding makeup. From meeting Nicola at the trial, she was calm and answered all my questions, giving recommendations of what powder and lipstick to buy to keep looking fresh. On the wedding morning, she kept myself, Mum and bridesmaids calm, helping us with all we need and being our personal photographer too.
The makeup was flawless. It stayed on all day and looked perfect. It didn't feel heavy and despite the tears, it didn't budge!
I would recommend Nicola to any future bride. Thank you Nicola for being part of your day xxx

Thank you so much for Saturday Nicola. You made me feel beautiful and most of all relaxed. You spent the morning/afternoon with us like we’d been friends forever. You just belonged. Myself and my bridesmaids were complimented constantly all day and evening. Thank you for being the magic behind a brush. Also thank you for getting drenched whilst you made sure we were all kept dry. You’re a credit to your craft and anyone is a fool to not choose you for their wedding hair and makeup. Thank you xx

From the moment I met Nicola I felt her kind and warm nature and just knew she was perfect for our wedding. The hairstyles were perfect and we all felt like princesses, I especially felt so special and confident through the day with how you had made me look. I cannot recommend Nicola enough if you want a professional, communicative, incredible hair stylist but overall a genuinely kind and caring person then Nicola will be perfect for your special occasion. Thank you for everything and all the help and advice you gave me to help me with my wedding : ))

Nicola was amazing on our wedding morning, she made me feel relaxed during the morning and stayed with me till I walked down the aisle. The bridesmaids looked amazing and my hair and make up was commented on all day and night! Couldn’t recommend Nicola enough!
