From my trial to my wedding day, Nikki was the most calming and reassuring presence. She has the best heart, is exceptionally talented, and went above and beyond to make sure she truly understood what I wanted. She was very receptive when there were small adjustments that I wanted to make. She made me feel absolutely beautiful, and most importantly I felt like myself on my wedding day! My bridesmaids couldn't stop commenting on how much they loved their hair as well. I felt so blessed to have Nikki there with us, and would recommend her a hundred times over!

ionalism. After my first trial I knew I made the right decision to work with Nikki and her company. I had a big bridal party, and watching both stylists work together and so quickly to get everyone done was amazing! Everyone's hair looked so amazing. All my bridesmaid's were so pleased with their hair. And on top of all that, they were both just so kind and fun and easy to work with. Nikki, thank you for helping us all look our best!

around. She immediately understood the look I was going for and brought my vision to life even better than I had imagined. When I was unsure about certain styles or details, she offered thoughtful suggestions that helped create the perfect look. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also so personable, easy to work with and extremely organized! My bridesmaids, my mom, and I all loved our hair, and everything held beautifully throughout the day. One of the best decisions I made was booking Nikki's touch-up service. Having her team there to make sure everything stayed flawless gave me so much peace of mind, and it was absolutely worth it!! Nikki truly exceeded all expectations. She made us feel beautiful, confident, and completely wedding-ready. I highly recommend her to any bride!!

Nikki was amazing and truly down to earth. She worked with all 9 girls of my bridal party Including both mothers for a total of 4 hours with her assistant. I even paid for someone ...

to fix my hair up after the ceremony, in which her assistant met me at the venue in my bridal suite and met my needs. Her communication was great throughout the whole process of preparing for my big day and answered any questions needed.

I met Nikki way back in 2019 at my job. I complimented her hair, and she shared that she was a hairstylist. I followed her and admired her work on Instagram for years. When I got e...

ngaged and had my wedding date set, she was the first person I booked. She was wonderful in every way. She answered all my emails incredibly fast and was so helpful, especially when it came to giving me information about hair extensions and what to ask for. At my trial, my hair was perfect. On the day of the wedding, we had so much fun getting ready with all my girls. My cousin has Down syndrome and can be a little sensitive about having her hair styled, but Nikki was amazing. She made sure my cousin was comfortable and felt and looked beautiful. Everyone’s hair looked great, and I loved how mine turned out. It held up all night and still looked amazing, even after dancing for hours. She is the best, and I recommend her a million times over to anyone!

und it really helpful to check out her Instagram before the appointment and found a picture of someone with similar hair to mine exactly how I wanted my hair styled, which she appreciated. She was so supportive of what I wanted and gave very helpful advice on hair care and hair styling, extensions vs no extensions (we both decided I didn’t need them), and trying on my hair piece and veil. It was such a great experience and I can’t wait to work with her again for my wedding! Edit post-wedding: Nikki was such a joy to work with! She’s so kind and supportive, from the trial to the wedding day and the communication in between. She posts lots of styles on her Instagram, and it was really helpful to pick one and show it to her for the trial. We went with less volume on top than we did for the trial, and it was absolutely perfect. My hair was done around 8:30 AM and the waves held until I washed my hair at 11 PM. My maid of honor and bridesmaid also really enjoyed their experience working with her, and I would highly recommend Nikki to any bride who wants to feel more low-key but still glamorous!

For my wedding, she and her assistant styled me, my mom, and 7 bridesmaids. Everyone’s hair was done on time and to perfection! By the end of the night, guests were asking me who did my hair because of how well it held. I would recommend her and her team to any bride! Thank you so much for being part of my day!!!

Nikki styled for my wedding in Feb. of 2024. I highly recommend her and her service - Nikki is professional but so approachable and easy to be with. She is punctual and she made me...

feel comfortable throughout the entire process, which was very simple and straightforward. She guided me toward what she thought would work best for me when I wasn’t sure myself, and I was so happy with the final result. I wanted an updo that still felt soft and natural - she really delivers on this look. My style stayed put through dancing and sweating the night away. Thank you Nikki for your time, patience, and expertise!

Nikki and her crew were nothing but AMAZING to work with from start to finish. First of all, Nikki is super personable and makes you feel right at home the moment you meet. She is ...

professional, but feels like a friend at the same time. She's patient and flexible and down for literally any style you throw at her (and she also isn't afraid to give honest feedback if she doesn't think a style will look good or hold so you aren't in for an awful surprise day of the wedding). My hair is THICK and stubborn, and day of our wedding, we were up against unusually humid weather for October. Not only did Nikki create the PERFECT style for me, but her touch-up crew saved the day after hours of photos before the ceremony in humid weather and fixed all my curls. The team managed to beautifully do all 16 women's hair on time with so much patience. Everyone was so happy with their hair. Nikki and her team felt like extended members of the bridal party with their personalities and how well they got along with everyone. Im so excited one of my bridesmaids booked Nikki for her wedding, too, because it means another chance at Nikki doing my hair! Thank you so much, Ink & Ivy ♡

was hooked. Booking with Nikki for our 10/26/23 wedding was easy, and working with her was a dream. I had my hair trial in Feb 2023 and Nikki did a beautiful job and answered any questions I had. On the day of our wedding, Nikki arrived early, completed all hair for 8 women by herself in the time window she allotted, and was an absolute sweetheart. All of the women, including myself, loved their hairstyles. Each one was unique and beautifully done. They also lasted the entire night. I could not ask for a better person or stylist to work with!

ing morning with them. Nikki has all of that and more! I went to my trial nervous as I never have my hair done professionally, but was quickly relaxed as soon as I sat in her chair. Nikki talked me through the process, asked me questions, was organized when it came to contracts and ultimately made me feel absolutely beautiful. I was so calm going into my wedding day because I knew I had talented and trusted vendors, Nikki being one of them. The morning of my wedding I had Nikki and one of her assistants and all of the girls looked beautiful! My hair stayed all night, even despite a lot of head banging at the reception. The vibes of my wedding morning were everything I knew I needed: fun, calm and positive, because of people like Nikki and her team. I couldn’t thank her enough for making me feel the most beautiful on such a special day!

o her thing and I was not disappointed. My hair lasted all day and night! My ceremony and photos were outside, so it really speaks to her talent as a girl with very frizzy hair. It was perfect. She also made my mom look the most beautiful she has ever looked. Did an amazing job on my 8 year old flower girl and my 3 close friends. I can't recommend her enough! Her prices are fair and she is just a wonderful energy to have around.

sion and created a look that was both beautiful and timeless. She was also incredibly patient and accommodating, and she made sure that I was happy with every step of the process. After creating an amazing style during my trial she then outdid herself on the wedding day. When I saw myself in the mirror on my wedding day, I was blown away. It truly was the most beautiful I have ever felt. I received so many compliments on my hair, and I know that it was all thanks to Nikki's talent and expertise. On the day of my wedding, Nikki arrived early and was ready to go. She was calm and collected, which helped to calm my nerves. During an unexpected fire alarm and getting kicked out of the bridal suite, Nikki continued to work on my bridesmaid's hair outside on the sidewalk! She worked quickly and efficiently, that even with the fire alarm all hairstyles were finished on time! I would highly recommend Nikki to anyone looking for a wedding hairstylist. She is a true artist who will make sure that you look and feel your best on your special day.

I don't even know where to begin.. Nikki and her team were one of my first vendors that I booked 2 months after getting engaged. I came across her name on brides of long island and...

looked her up on instagram. I absolutely loved her styles and knew she was going to be the best for me and my tribe. I wasn't looking for any crazy up-do's or anything over the top. So everything that I saw on her account was exactly what I was dreaming about. I reached out to her right away via her website inquiry and she responded within a few hours. I sent a deposit immediately to secure my date. I also loved that she only does 1 wedding a day. I just knew she was going to be amazing. A few months later I booked my trial with her. When we met, I was so happy with her. She truly cares about her clients. At the time my dad was sick, and she was so caring and just talked to my mom and I the entire time. Nikki really made us feel so comfortable. I absolutely loved my trial and knew she was going to kill it for my big day. Nikki and her team were absolutely amazing for my wedding day. My tribe and I all looked so beautiful, and everyone's hair held up all day long. If you are thinking about using this team, don't think too long - BOOK THEM! You will not be disappointed!

Nikki is THE sweetest person and was the exact vibe I needed leading up to my wedding and while getting ready that morning. I ended up completely changing my mind for hair styles ...

so had two trials. She carved out plenty of time and made sure I was completely happy before I left that second trial ... and she nailed it! I came to her with a very confused vision for what I wanted and she was so patient and supportive while she asked questions, showed me examples, and helped me narrow down exactly what I wanted. The day of, she was so relaxed, sweet and excited. She completed five beautiful hairstyles for myself, my mom, and my sisters. She even did perfect pin backed curls for my 4 year old flower girl. Everyone loved their hair and all styles lasted all night! Would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thanks Nikki!!

my trial with her back in January 2021. She’s always so responsive, extremely organized, and had me feeling at ease since the moment we met. She arrived a few minutes early on our wedding day to allow herself time to set up her workspace and then got right to work. She was such a calming presence, and fit in so perfectly with my group. She made myself, my 6 bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law feel SO BEAUTIFUL! We all have such different hair types and she did the most gorgeous job on every single one of us. Once she completed everyone’s hair, she went back and did touch ups for anyone who felt they needed it. I was nervous about changing up my hair from the trial because I have very soft hair, and curls have never fully held for an entire day on me. I went with my gut and did a totally different style for the big day and thanks to Nikki, I can now say my hair DOES hold curls! I got so many compliments - Nikki truly made my wedding hair dreams come to life!

She was able to service everyone no matter their age, hair length, or personal style. I'm so thankful for her patience, artistic inspiration, and attention to detail.
