Gorgeous, natural make up and hair

I had a wonderful experience with Nicola doing my hair and make up for my mother and me on my wedding day. Nicola was very kind, enthusiastic and easy-going. We had a great time getting ready and I felt beautiful. Nicola really listened to what I wanted with both my hair and make up and was also able to give me advice and tips for making the make up last for the big day - which it did! I would really recommend her to anyone looking for delicate, natural make-up and hair. We also had to change the time and the getting ready venue and Nicola was obliging and flexible which was such a relief.

So Natural!

Nicola was the perfect hair and makeup artist. She was so patient with me (I was such a fussy bride as I just couldn't decide what I wanted!!) She gave me amazing suggestions and I'm so glad I went with it as wow did she make me pretty!
I chose Nicola for her natural style of makeup (I'm not someone that generally wears much makeup). She is an absolutely fantastic job with me, my bridesmaids and my mum!
Would definitely recommend her!! Thank you so much for making me look beautiful on my special day!
(Bonus the groom cried when he saw how I looked!!)

What an incredible find! I booked Nicola for my wedding make-up (as well as hair and make-up for my bridesmaids and mothers of the Bride & Groom); it is easily one of the best decisions I made for my big day! She was friendly, professional and expertly created my perfect bridal look. I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results!

I was hugely impressed with Nicola at my make-up trial. As someone who does not wear make-up on a regular basis, I was quite unsure as to what I wanted for my wedding look and more importantly, what would suit me best. Nicky was fantastic at guiding me and helping decide on my bridal make-up with me. She was supportive and offered honest, friendly advice and talked through the options I had researched. The make-up at the trial was stunning and stayed put all day. I was able to easily discuss my look with Nicola both before and afterwards and she was patient and reassuring.

With a bridal party consisting of 10 bridesmaids, there were a lot of girls to cater for and everyone was absolutely thrilled with their looks on the day. Nicola was brilliant to deal with in the run-up to the wedding and sourced talented additional artists to make each of my (many) girls feel their best.

On the morning of our wedding, Nicola was punctual, organised and as friendly as always which helped keep me calm; I felt in very safe hands throughout. My make-up was flawless and lasted all day (and I happy-cried a lot!). I lost count at how many people complimented both mine and my bridesmaid’s hair and make-up. My look was beautifully natural and was exactly what I wanted.

Thank you so much for making me feel every inch the beautiful bride that I wanted to be; I am beyond thrilled with your work. I cannot recommend you enough and my army of bridesmaids have all said the same! Thank you for being so wonderful to work with before and on the day of the wedding- it is so appreciated! We were a big party to deal with and we loved having you as part of the day. You are a hugely talented and very lovely lady!

Thank you Nicola, you are a star!
