honor had an emergency and almost couldn’t make it, other bridesmaid had Covid and couldn’t make it) she was there with bells on keeping me calm and being amazing and even got me to laugh a few times.

glam waves. I have thin, fine hair that barely holds a curl and my hair was perfect the whole night, even after the mass amounts of wind we took pictures in! Nicole even came all the way to my venue to touch up my hair before my reception so I wouldn't have to worry about it with all of the dancing! I was so happy with how my hair looked all night! Nicole was so easy to work with from my trial to the big day. She is an amazing person and such a professional. Also, she does the best balayage!!! Do not wait to book her!

t was seen in her work. She did my trial, my hair for my shower and of course my hair for the big day. No matter what style she did, it was flawless and it held. My hair has never even held curls for as long as they did (literally into next day). Nicole is confident, efficient and genuinely cared if I was 100% was satisfied with my styles. As if the above isn’t enough, her prices are very reasonable. I will forever use Nicole and will always recommend her to anyone.

I loved working with you, what a beautiful bride you are 😘 thank you!
Nicole was absolutely amazing in every way leading up to our wedding, to the actual day. We had an incredibly tight timeline and she kept in touch through it all- planning the trial, day of schedule, payment etc. She was upfront through it al...
l. We were so grateful that she travels and was willing to drive hours to our location. Most importantly, upon her early arrival and time with us on our wedding day; it felt as if our friend was with us styling our hair. We were very comfortable in her presence and she was very calming and positive. Our hair was styled beautifully. I really appreciated how decisive she was in last minute decisions… like placement of the halo. Nicole was recommended to us, and we will continue to highly recommend her for all future events.
