About this vendor
#1 Ethnically Inclusive Wedding Day Beauty Company
Nicki Mac Brides is a wedding hair and beauty salon located in Tampa, FL. This dedicated team of stylists is skilled at creating breathtaking looks for the entire wedding party.
Owner Nicole McPherson established Nicki Mac Brides back in 2013. Having spent a number of working years in an unfulfilling corporate role, she decided to take a leap of faith and pursue her dream job. This experienced team is deeply passionate about making every client feel truly beautiful on their special day. They use high-quality products to achieve flawless, long-lasting wedding hair and makeup looks to suit every skin type, tone, and texture. Nicki can travel to milestone occasions within a five-mile radius at no additional cost and is happy to facilitate destination weddings with travel expenses included in the fee.
The Nicki Mac Brides team offers a range of hair and beauty services to choose from. Nicki begins each experience with a 15-minute consultation or ‘virtual coffee date.’ This meeting allows her to gain an initial idea of your preferences and style, which she then follows up with an online contract. Nicki then arranges an in-depth video call to finalize the details and make any adjustments to your wedding itinerary. There are three set wedding packages to choose from, and she and the team can also customize beauty services accordingly. Nicki offers clients the option of selecting the three-hour Magnolia package, the five-hour Garden Rose, and the seven-hour Peony package. The first package features a 90-minute makeup trial, a face mapping chart, luxurious mink lash extensions, and full makeup on the day. A gift bag complete with a touch-up kit is provided, with before and after photos also included. The five-hour package contains the same features as The Magnolia and offers a dedicated makeup concierge to attend to your needs before and after the ceremony. This package also features a two-hour makeup trial. The team’s final offering, The Garden Rose package, provides all of the above services and also offers an optional look change and unlimited touch-ups throughout the day. The experienced staff at Nicki Mac Brides can also provide a range of elegant hairstyling services to complement your chosen makeup look on the day.

This team is amazing. From beginning to end, they were professional, sweet, attentive, and they really created an amazing environment for myself and my wedding party. They performed amazing work and were ahead of schedule.
Nicki was a God send. She created the most calm atmosphere. She has amazing energy and it kept me at my best throughout the entire day. Throughout the process as we built it all out, she was very professional, very informative and knowledgeable. She KNOWS bridal. She helped me confirm and make so many decisions. Some beauty related and some that eventually helped my day flow in an amazing way. She's top tier. She was a huge part of my wedding day and I can't thank her enough for all the energy she brought. She brought so much value that completely outweighed her costs. I'd pay it again and again. So thankful for her!
It been a year and folks are still raving about the most amazing event.
Nicki Mac Brides and her professional team are artist; dream makers and beyond the most amazing in their craft. When I look at my photos and the transformations that were created, it is beyond the perils. Never looked more beautiful than that day. Since the event, the ladies attended have all been wearing makeup more. We all saw a beauty we've never experienced. Thank you is not enough. You made my day beautiful
Nicki and her team are amazing! Considering i was thousands miles away. We always kept in communication! Considering i did change times and added my girls. She always rolling the punches. And made me look and feel so beautiful! I can’t thank enough for her and her team to make us look special for the special day!
Any questions?
Nicki and her team are fabulous! I could write an entire essay on how amazing they are. I decided to have a destination wedding in Florida and I’m so glad I found out about Nicki and her team. Nicki communicated well and I knew from the beginning she took her job and business seriously. She is very detailed and even had a zoom meeting with me to ensure how exactly I wanted my look to be on my wedding day. She gave good advice as well. Nicki’s team even drove an hour to our air bnb to get me and my bridal party ready. They were very personable! They did such an amazing job and made me and my bridal party feel so beautiful! I highly recommend Nicki and her team! Thank you all again for playing a big part in making my day turn out amazing and making me feel so beautiful!
Nicki and her team did my hair and makeup in October 2023 for both my wedding rehearsal and wedding. I give them 5 stars all around for their skill, vision, attitude, professionalism, and vibes. I trusted Nicki the moment we had our first phone conversation; Nicki is a professional and she knows her craft. I never did a trial because of where we lived and to be honest, I trusted Nicki's vision and talent and didn't feel the need to do a trial before the big day. The day of my wedding...Nicki and her team absolutely slayed my hair and makeup. To this day I tell friends and family that I've never felt more beautiful than I did the day of my wedding. Wedding hair and makeup can feel scary for brides; it is such a big day and you want to feel your absolute best. Ladies (and gentleman), trust Nicki. She is so talented and brings positive energy to a day that can easily feel overwhelming and hectic. I am SO happy with my decision to book Nicki and her team for my wedding.
Absolutely amazing, Nicki's team went above and beyond they felt like family. My makeup was beyond gorgeous and I am very grateful for them. If you want an elegant natural look please book them
Nicki Mac Brides was recommended to me by our wedding planner and I am so glad that I chose to hire this team! From the moment I met Nicki, I knew I wanted to hire her. Before I even hired her team, she was already giving me skin care and styling recommendations which I loved. She was also so sweet throughout the whole wedding process. On my wedding day, we accidentally had the wrong hair and makeup schedule, but Nicki and her team handled that confusion calmly and efficiently! In addition, I was noticeably nervous that morning but I instantly felt calm the second I sat in Nicki's chair to get my makeup done. My bridesmaids, the mothers, and I had a BLAST getting our hair and makeup done by this team! The energy in the getting-ready room was calm yet fun, which was perfect. Everyone also loved how their hair and makeup turned out! I would highly recommend Nicki Mac to anyone.
Nicki and her team are professional, gentle, and precise in their interpretation of your vision for that day. I am a bride with sensitive skin and Nicki took her time ensuring I had the look I dreamed of. Her team was timely and took care of all 6 of my bridesmaids and mom's hair and makeup with ease. Nicki's precise timeline ensured that we were 30 minutes ahead of schedule. I highly recommend Nicki for your wedding makeup needs. Regardless of the hair texture, or skin hue, they will ensure that your squad looks great for the entire day.
Earlier this year, we hosted a wedding ceremony and reception, and thanks to your absolutely fantastic makeup services, we were able to accomplish my goal of a more natural but still very
sensational look.
We are so grateful for how professional and communicative you and your team were and how much easier it made the whole
process of getting ready. I was particularly impressed with how gracious you were in keeping me calm among all the business and made sure I was okay every step of the way. I felt so supported, and my bridesmaids absolutely loved you.
I wholeheartedly recommend your services and thank you for making the day so memorable.
Nicki Mac Brides is hands down the best group ever. These women were professional, on time and efficient with their work! The makeup and hair lasted on all the women included in my bridal party! I cannot express how grateful I am for these women! Absolutely FANTASTIC!! Book Nicki Mac for your wedding. You will not regret it!!! Worth it!!
There are not enough characters to express how amazing Nicki and her team were on my wedding day. They were professional, had amazing personalities, and provided stunning work. I have never felt or looked as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. I had the Magnolia package and highly recommend using a package that allows Nicki to stay around and provide touch ups after the ceremony. Her make up application technique is so unique- it lasted but was so light I felt like there was nothing on my face. Pure magic! My mother, who has never worn make up in her entire life and was not looking forward to having her make up done- loved her face as well. Nicki embodied everything I needed on the morning of my wedding- the perfect hype woman, the calming presence I needed when things got rocky, and the artistic eye to remind me to smile and breathe when I needed it the most. While I don't ever plan on having another wedding ceremony, if I did, Nicki and her team would be the first vendors that I would book.
Nicki and hairstylist Sabrina were nothing short of amazing the day of my wedding. Both ladies were super easy going and the sweetest to work with. I received the the “Garden Rose” package along with hair service, and it was the best decision I could’ve made. Definitely worth the money! I felt so beautiful and looked like a princess the whole day, and was so sad to have to wash all my makeup off and take my hair down! Like many weddings not everything went as planned for my now husband and myself, but I had no issues with Nicki and her team. They arrived on time and were very professional. I definitely recommend her services for your wedding or special event! Thank you again so much!
As an event planner, professionalism, punctuality, customer service, and artistry are equally important when seeking a beauty team for my clients. The team at Nicki Mac Brides executes the aforementioned with fidelity. Additionally, the NMB team understands the varying needs of each client regardless of complexion or ethnicity, for example. All my clients are catered to! They truly are the leaders in the industry! I highly recommend NMB for your hair and makeup needs.
Finding Nicki was the best thing that could have happened to me, I feel super lucky. Makeup on a bride is essential and Nicki definitely has the hand and the art to turn you into a star for that special day. I am so grateful to Nicki and her team for all the attention they gave me and to my bridal party. I totally recommend Nicki and her team to be a part of your special day.
I feel so incredibly lucky to have found Nicki Mac Brides. Not only is Nicki and her team incredibly talented, but they are also kind, fun, and accommodating. It is rare to meet someone as genuine and sweet as Nicki Mac. She went above and beyond to make sure that me and my bridal party felt like movie stars. Nicki and her team made me feel so beautiful on my special day. I highly recommend Nicki Mac Brides for your hair and make-up needs!
Nicki was so flexible and responsive. She is truly an artist and my wedding makeup literally moved me to tears. So talented and so many of my wedding guests were asking me who did my makeup. My makeup was flawless ALL NIGHT. Amazing work!
I honestly don’t know where to start. Communication was on point, Nicki made herself available to answer questions and explained everything in a clear and concise manner.
Now on my wedding day……she was on time, did a wonderful job…so much so that when she was done I felt like a bride for the very first time (I didn’t feel that when trying on my dress). She also went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure my day/morning went as planned.
If you’re hesitating on booking her, don’t. Do it now and take notes during your coffee call. She told me to not forget my undergarments…I didn’t write it down and ended up forgetting. I had my poor bridesmaid/daughter running to the store at 7AM to get me some. 😂😂😂
If you’re looking for an artist for your makeup- look no further! They say ‘ work with the best and you’ll never be disappointed’. And let me tell you, I couldn’t have dreamed of a better makeup artist for my wedding day.
Nicki is personable and absolutely amazing.
We did a trial before the wedding, after the trial I had a few adjustments I wanted to make for the wedding - she was accommodating and nailed it!
If you’re looking for someone to make you look and feel your absolute best, you won’t go wrong with Nicki!
Nicki helped me feel at ease from the moment i met her through our virtual "coffee date". I am from out of state and she did my hair and make-up on my big day without a trial and yet she still was able to make me feel the most beautiful i have ever felt. i tried so hard not to cry when i saw myself after she was done. her whole team was awesome and were able to get my girls and i ready with more than enough time for me to relax before walking down. I definitely recommend!!
Listen, this lady has a gift. I was that bride that had no clue what she wanted to be done to her hair or makeup. Nicki asked me for ideas and each time I came up blank, and ladies the work of art she did along her team was top tier. I loved the fact that I could have recognized myself after the makeup but looked sp radiant. Her work does enhance what you already have and makes you appreciate makeup in a different light than how you were accustomed to at least for a girl like me who does chapstick You will not regret it. Did I mention that I did not do a preview. II trusted her and her team and I am glad I did.
When I tell you I had the pleasure of working with THE BEST of Tampa for our wedding, I honestly mean that with every fiber of my being. Let me start by saying that Nicki was an absolute highlight in our day. She felt more like a long-lost best friend vs. makeup artist. She brought my soft-glam beauty vision to life! I almost cried when I saw my final look but I couldn’t mess up her work! 😂 My fiancé absolutely loved how she did my makeup and said “anytime we have a major event to call Nicki!” If your man is as in love with your look as you are, then you KNOW it’s something special✨
Nicki, thank you so much for making us all look amazing! But also, thank you for being a friend on this important day. For telling me to take a moment and relax. For hyping me up when I needed the extra boost. And for making sure I not only looked like a queen but felt like a dang QUEEN!👸🏽
Nicki and her team are so talented and so professional! Look no further!!!
She really listened to everything I was looking for when it came to makeup and hair on my big day since I typically don’t wear a lot of makeup on a daily basis. All of my bridesmaids were so impressed with Nicki and her team! I cannot recommend her enough! She went above and beyond the day of my wedding, not only to ensure I felt beautiful on my day but all my family and friends felt just as beautiful. Book now!!! :)
Nicki and her team were amazing and absolutely made the wedding day and pre wedding activities flawless. I literally cried when she did my makeup for my rehearsal dinner. The day of the wedding was even better not just the way i looked but everyone in my bridal party(everyone was so impressed!!) I upgraded my package so she could stay up until the very time i walked into the reception. I would highly recommend doing that. Her services are top- notch!
From the beginning Nicki was top of the line and worth every single penny spent. I had the Magnolia package in which she was present to touch me up for my post ceremony photos. From the demo appointment to the day of, I knew is was in the right hands and her team were spectacular. She came ready with her own chair, lighting, music ready to create the perfect ambiance for an anxious bride. Also has the best personality for the wild antic of family members. lol! My makeup was flawless all the way until I had to wash it off! I was sweating and crying all night too!
Absolutely amazing! Being the bride I was naturally nervous the entire time on my wedding day and throughout the process. Nicki, was absolutely amazing. I felt like the most beautiful bride in the entire world. Not to mention wedding day her team made my entire bridal party feel so comfortable and we all had such a great time!
Anyone who hires Nicki Mac brides will NOT be disappointed. I put my entire trust into Nicki and her team coming up with hairstyles and make up as well. I can’t thank you enough for everything!
I cannot recommend Nicki Mac Brides enough! Nicki was so professional and made sure I knew what to expect every step of the process! It was important for me to find a professional makeup artist that was skilled in making brides of every complexion look and feel beautiful- and that is what I got. Nicki was very accommodating and was able to coordinate a zoom consultation for me while I was out of state on a travel nurse assignment. During that meeting I also met my makeup artist Assyria and we made sure to iron out all the details about what my expectations were. The day of Assyria did my mother's makeup as well as mine. She was professional, bubbly, and a joy to be around. My mother's makeup was age appropriate and she looked beautiful! Thanks to Assyria I looked glamorous while still actually looking like myself. My makeup looked great through our outdoor wedding during the day through dancing well into the evening. Book Nicki Mac Brides for an exceptional bridal experience!
Nicki is an absolute dream. I worked with her for bridal hair and makeup, as well as hair + makeup for my full bridal party.
She is SO professional, caring and communicative. After our makeup trial we scheduled a follow up call with all my comments / feedback and she absolutely NAILED my wedding day look. She listens to brides, their vision and is an amazing executer.
Her team is just as talented and professional. Hire her!
Nicki is incredible! I do not normally wear makeup outside of eyeliner and lipgloss lol. So when she made my face up and that of my mom and mother in law for my wedding everyone looked in the mirror like OMG is that ME??? LOL! We looked flawless!!! Now I am like NICKI I NEED CLASSES!!! She asked me what I wanted to accentuate and I just told her my eyes. And she went above and beyond! Now every time I need to take a photo from passport photo to an upcoming valentines day photo shoot Nicki WILL FOREVER BE MY GO TO!!! You will not go wrong with Nicki! She is so nice and kind and she makes you feel at such ease to let her elevate your beauty! THANKS NICKI!!! And ILL SEE YOU SOON!!!!!!!
Nicki Mac is AMAZING!! When my husband and I decided to get married in Tampa it was very challenging to find a makeup artist that had people of color on their websites. Not only does Nicki’s website show her experience working with women of many different skin tones it shows she knows how to make any woman GLOW. Nicki is so attentive to the vision you have for yourself and your bridesmaids. She nailed everyone’s look and made everyone feel good in the process.
Nicki and her assistant did a fantastic job with my makeup and hair. She is really skilled at her craft and experienced at doing weddings. Everyone loved my look and said I was a beautiful bride. I highly recommend Nicki Mac Brides.
Nicole is the absolute bomb. Hands down, no one better.
Of course, her works speaks for her. She is a make up ARTIST. Her hand is truly the hand of Michelangelo. She coined the term "drab to fab". I have gotten my make up done for other peoples weddings and different events and I've always loved how it's come out but Nicole really puts these people to shame. Also Kim, her partner who handles hair. She is incredible. She transformed my hair into these goddess waves that looked like I came down from Zeus' house.
AND IT ALL LASTED THE WHOLE NIGHT. Face and hair, everything. They are the best duo.
Now, lets talk about professionalism. Nicole gives you what you NEED. I'm not talking about an extra lipstick so you can re-apply (which she does, by the way). I'm talking about; I was a WRECK the entire day. I couldn't stop crying/throwing up, I was losing it because I was so stressed and nervous and overwhelmed and everyone was bothering me and I was so annoyed. Nicole knew I just needed silence. Peace. Tranquility. She knew I just needed a SECOND to just BE. She gave that to me when no one else did and that is not a skill you can learn.
Nicki Mac Brides is the ONLY company I would trust for any event, in the Tampa area or not. Nicole loves to travel and will make it count for you. She cares and I appreciate her for it. She is not only my forever MUA but now a friend.
Book her while you can. Do not delay.
Nicki was amazing. She is a true artist and will make your vision come true. I highly recommend.
Nicki is absolutely amazing. She is talented and makes you feel beautiful! Will definitely recommend her to any bride that is looking for a makeup artist!
Attention all brides!
Your search for the perfect makeup artists ends here!
I needed a professional makeup artist for a DOUBLE wedding, with an early ceremony, and brides/bridesmaids of different skin types/tones so I knew that this was going to be a big ask. But Nicki was up for the challenge and her team delivered and surpassed all of my expectations.
My sister and I got married on the same day and Nicki was able to work out a schedule with me (a few times), and she was able to accommodate changes, and was just a joy to work with. I know that some of the things thrown her way were not easy and she had to make last minute arrangements but she never made me feel like we weren't going to get the job done.
But the best part, our makeup looked amazing! I recommend booking the package with the makeup concierge service if you can so you get that extra touch of pampering on your day. I felt like a princess and REALLY appreciated having her there for touch ups so we looked fresh all night long.
Our wedding was in October and people are still complimenting us and talking about our makeup and I couldn't be happier with my decision!
THANK YOU NICKI!
Wow. Beyond memorable. Nicki & Sarsha are exceptionally talented artists, and I must stress ARTISTS. They’re truly in a league of their own.
While calling around different dress shops, I contacted a Boutique in Utah for a specific designer. Although they didn’t have what I wanted, the owner asked if I hired a MakeUp artist and recommended the wonderful Nicki. From that day forward, she was my Artist. Without a hitch, we started conversations about the theme of my wedding, color scheme, and my vision. My theme was Bohemian/Rustic Vintage. Bold eyes, bronze skin, kissable cheeks, perfect!
The week or so prior to the wedding, she provided me with a detailed timeline and aligned it with my day off coordinating. Whatever questions or random concerns I had throughout the entire wedding process, Nicki was incredibly responsive and extremely patient with me. It never felt like she was just my Artist, but rather a close friend helping me walk into the next journey in my life.
Extremely professional and timely. We arrived at the hotel at the exact same time. As the expert, if you’ve not familiar with weddings and bridal party time slots, she will get you up to speed.
My 6 bridesmaids looked beautiful. Absolutely stunning. She took their style and natural look, and turned them into goddesses. Easily, the most natural and chic makeup application I have seen. Blended to perfection. My makeup application was impeccable. Stunning. Flawless. Stellar. I can honestly admit that I looked like a Barbie doll. There wasn’t a single imperfection. From my forehead, to my cheeks, to my chin, my neck & chest, perfectly blended. My eyes were a bold, lightly Smokey, and rich. I wanted to cry, but I didn’t want to ruin the make up. I was beautiful and speechless. All I could do was hug and thank Nicki for what she exercised.
Nicki & Sarsha are GOD sent. Their Tact, kindness, talent, patience and warmth made my wedding day joyous and full of bliss. They took my vision and manifested it. They were by my side the entire step of the way and always checked to make sure I looked my best. All girls deserve one day in their life where they can be Beautiful, Happy, and the Star of the show. Nicki gave me that and more!
If you’re looking for a subject expert and master of their craft, Nicki is your artist. Since the wedding. Family & friends haven’t stopped talking about how amazing I looked and how natural the makeup looked. Thank you for sharing and giving me those memories to cherish, Nicki & Sarsha ! 😊
Nicki is amazing! She takes her time to build a relationship with her brides, to help really get to know them and what makeup look screams their personality! I had all my guests raving about how amazing my makeup was even after dancing, sweating, and crying the night away! She asked me to trust her with my wedding look and it was the best decision of my life! I had mine and my bridal parties hair done by her as well and we couldn’t stop smiling, her and Kim made all of us feel so pretty and happy! We all felt like we were best friends with Nicki and I wouldn’t want it any other way. She is the most humble and talented person ever and you will be making the best choice for your wedding booking her!
Nicki and Kim were incredible! We received hair and makeup compliments the entire night. They listened to our ideas and helped execute exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend!
Nicki was wonderful every step of the way! I got the Peony package and I have no regrets. She is prompt, punctual, and organized. She kept an open line of communication and answered all of my questions. I felt confident that she would have me looking my best on my wedding day. I am so happy that my best friend recommended her. She adhered to strict timeline sent by my wedding coordinator. Nicki is personable, kind, patient, and extremely talented with her craft. You will not be disappointed if you book with her!
She was very professional from the booking to planning to executing. She arrived on time, had a bubbly attitude, and worked her magic. She did a fantastic job! She is a talented MUA, please book her, you will love her!
Nicki is amazing!!! She is so sweet and personable and I am so happy that I hired her for my big day!!!
Nicki is the most thoughtful, accommodating person I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Before I had secured her services for my Pi-Day wedding she gave endless referrals and meaningful advice to help me plan the event. During my bridal makeup trial to make me feel like a "true bride" she gifted me a white bridal robe, a gesture I still cherish long after the big day.
In addition to her naturally bubbly personality and caring nature, her skills are unmatched! My makeup was simply flawless, magazine ready and stayed put for well over 12 hours. Additionally, her entire team is amazing. I had a diverse group of bridesmaids, with an array of skin tones and each looked beautiful and comfortable with the makeup she was wearing. Nicki and her team made sure to highlight their features using colors and techniques that best suited them.
If you're on the fence, book her services! You will not be dissapointed.
I couldn't have asked for anyone better than Nicki and her team! Right from the start, Nicki was warm, genuine, and the absolute sweetest. As she was doing my makeup, she could feel my nerves and immediately asked if I was okay or if there was anything I needed. She then put some music on to help calm me! She was beyond thoughtful and I am eternally grateful for her presence. She also listened to all my ideas and created something even better than I imagined! My wedding was in December of 2019 and this review is LONG overdue, but if there is any uncertainty of who you want at your wedding to make you feel beautiful inside and out , Nicki is the one! She absolutely AMAZING and if I could give more than five stars, I would!
Nicki is the dream MUA for me as a bride! She is talented, professional, and personal. She also has good connections in the wedding industry. My bridal hair do was fabulous thanks to the hairstylist she booked for me. On the day of, she set a nice ambiance to get me ready and helped me feel relaxed and special. Would highly recommend !
Nicki was AMAZING. I loved my makeup, which she did with no direction (my choice), she just had a vision! I received so many compliments on her work. As a person, she was good vibes and really made the morning of my wedding enjoyable. Would recommended 100x over. Thank you, Nicki!
Nicki did mine and my MOH’s makeup and Kim did our hair for my bridal shower and we LOVED our looks! They were both so easy going and fun to be around and really listened to what we wanted as well as provided their own suggestions for aspects we weren’t quite sure of. My MOH and I are still talking about how pleasantly surprised we were with how we looked, how we photographed and how well our hair and makeup stay put throughout the day. Nicki has also been super responsive to me when I have asked her follow up questions about products she used on me and photos that she took. I would HIGHLY recommend this team to anyone wanting to look their best and have fun in the process!
Nicki & her team are AMAZING! I don’t have enough nice things to say. She was so easy to work with, developed a perfect timeline, arrived on time and gave us the best hair & makeup for a bridal shower. I truly couldn’t recommend her more and am so so happy we crossed paths! You will not regret booking her!
FIVE STARS. My experience with Nicki was the BEST ever. She was professional, kind and transformed me and my bride tribe for my wedding day. Beginning with the bridal trial makeup session, she listened to me and my desires. It really felt like a collaboration. Then, as we prepared for the big day, she was patient and cooperative with my planner, photographer, my matron of honor, mother of the bride and mother of the groom. She was prompt, friendly, and catered to each woman's preferences. She used the feedback from the trial session and made me look even more gorgeous. I feel like Nicki went the extra mile to make sure my wedding GLAM LOOK went off with out a hitch! (No teary eyes at all!) I will recommend her to anyone who is looking for a classic, beautiful bridal appearance. Again, I have to emphasize how much I appreciated her punctuality, her positive attitude and her flexibility.
Nicki's skills are flawless! Her ability to create a natural makeup look is remarkable. Nicki did the makeup for my myself, bridal party and mother. They were folks of all different skin tones and they looked absolutely fantastic! Nicki even hopped on the trolley with me to our first look to make sure my makeup was perfect. Nicki is detailed, organized and a joy to work with. Nicki will be doing my makeup for all my major life events.
Nicki is amazing! I dont wear much make up day to day. I wanted to look just pike myself but polished! Nicki did a fantastic job, it lasted all day and got so many compliments. Strongly recommend!
Nick Mac will have your back! She'll not only make you feel beautiful on the outside, she'll make you glow on the inside for your big day. I reached out to her less than 3 weeks before my wedding. From the moment we talked on the phone, I knew that I could trust her to show up and make everything perfect. She asked me to send photos of myself as well as styles that I liked so she could craft a wedding look ahead of time. Her totally chill, kind, fun personality helped make a normally hectic day into a relaxing, reflective experience. She and her partner showed up right on time and were so meticulous in making sure every color, sparkle and curl was exactly right. We laughed like old friends up until it was time to head to the church. So glad I went with Nicki Mac!
I don’t even know where to start she is simply amazing. I found my dream dress and right after started looking for a makeup artist. I’m in my early 30s and glam for me is mascara and lipstick. I remember when I came across Nicki’s page I knew she was the one. Nicki took the time to listen to me and I completely trusted her to create my wedding look. The day of the wedding she was punctual and helped me calm my nerves with the music she played for us. Our trial was wonderful but the makeup on the day off was even more so. The makeup survived the hot Sand Key Park weather, my tears as I read my vows, my bridesmaids speeches, and endless tears of joy I cried that night. If you are looking for someone who truly loves their profession and makes you feel like a best friend supporting you on your big day choose Nicki.
I looked gorgeous and felt so beautiful on my wedding day thanks to Nicki! My face looked flawless the entire day/evening. She is absolutely amazing and pays incredible attention to detail. Nicki is extremely talented and very professional with a beautiful personality & heart. Book her NOW for your special day!!!
I would like to start my review by Thanking Nicki for her makeup service! She was very professional, My makeup for my wedding was flawless I felt like a true princess !
I do not typically wear makeup so I didn't know exactly what I wanted but I knew what I didn't want (to look over done) Nicki Mac delivered!!! We all looked and felt so beautiful. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Nicki was a pleasure to work with on my big day. There was so much going on around me with the vendors but Nicki was just so professional & reassuring. She started playing music to lighten up the moment. Her work was awesome, I loved my makeup. It looked natural and not so drastic that I was unrecognizable. I got plenty of compliments on how good it turned out. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a great makeup artist.
Response from the Vendor on 12/14/2018
Sheryl, thank you so much for the review. Who would have ever thought that I would be doing your makeup for your wedding and it was my pleasure. You were beautiful. Wishing you and Gary a lifetime of love and happiness.
Nicki's level of professionalism is unparalleled. She is meticulous and makes sure that every element of your makeup compliments you on your special day. She did a wonderful job on my make up as well as my bridesmaids and mother in law. She stayed with me until right before I walked down the aisle to make sure I was picture perfect for my big reveal. I was so confident and felt like the most beautiful bride in the world. You will not be disappointed . She listens and will make sure you are satisfied with your makeup.
Response from the Vendor on 12/14/2018
Thank you Tracee. Thanks so much for choosing me to be apart of your wedding day! Your love story is just as amazing as you are. I can't wait to see the wedding photos.
Nicki was super helpful with my last minute search for a makeup artist. She was prompt in her responses and got me booked quickly. On the day of my wedding she came fully prepared and was very knowledgeable about skin and aesthetics. She took her time with me, gave me the natural look I wanted and even hung around for final touches after I put on my dress. She was extremely polite and professional and the added bonus- she helped my brother (who was not dressed on time) with his suspenders so we wouldn’t be late. Book her!

Gerita! Thanks so much for the review. You were by far one of the coolest brides to date. You looked so beautiful, and it was my pleasure to hook your brother up with those suspenders lol!
Stop looking for hair and makeup artist and book here! I enjoyed working with Nicki and her team. She was there for me every step of the way. I don't wear makeup and she knew exactly what I needed. Thank you Nicki for everything and for making me look beautiful! My husband had tears of joy when he saw me. Thanks a million!

Thanks babes for the kind words! We loved working with you and your family! Everyone was super nice. You had a great wedding party and a wonderful support system. Not to mention that you were pure perfection on your wedding day!
Nicki creates perfection! My photos, my video, my big day was ten times better because Nicki made me look flawless! I truly appreciated her calmness and professionalism from the trial to the wedding. My look was a natural elegance that I could never recreate without her help. I HIGHLY recommend Nicki Mac Brides!

My wedding was untraditional. I wore a black and blush dress in the presence of only 20 family members. When I walked out to my groom, my family awed at the way I looked and my groom cried. Nicki had my make-up FLAWLESS. Thanks Nicki for making me look like the QUEEN I am.

Hi Darlene. Thank you for the review. I love a bride who lives life on their own terms. You were a beautiful bride. I wish you a life of love and happiness.
Words cannot express how amazing Nicki was. Not only did I look beautiful, I also felt beautiful. I wanted a natural look and she delivered - flawlessly. Her calm demeanor, professionalism, and sweet personality meant the world to me on my big day. In addition, Nicki graciously accommodated my last minute request for makeup with ease. I am forever grateful for her! I look forward to working with Nicki again for my future makeup needs!

ng you again.
Nicki is timely, professional, patient and kind. Trust me, these are all of the qualities a bride need on her special day.
The precision application of my makeup resulted in the perfect combination of natural beauty and classic elegance. I will not have to worry about my wedding photos “dating” our day because Nicki gave me and my bridal party a timeless look.
My husband and I will never get tired of looking at our wedding photos. Thanks Nicki!
Response from the Vendor on 12/14/2018
Thank you so much Michelle for the review, and trusting me with your makeup for your big day! You were stunning and so will be your photos for a lifetime.
Nicki did an amazing Job! My make up was very precise to how I like it. Nicki made me into the bride I always dreamed of being. Thank you for being a part of my special day.

Thank you so much Arlene for the review. I pray that all is well. I absolutely love your love story. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
I don't have enough good things to say about Niki! When searching for a makeup artist for my wedding here in Tampa, it was really hard to get someone who can create the natural look I wanted. Thank God I met Nicki through a friend. Nicki, not only created a flawless look for me, but was so fun and personable! The day I got married it was a hot, humid 91 degrees. We took our pictures outside and danced the night away and didn't have to reapply my makeup once! She made me look natural and beautiful. I can not tell you how many compliments I have received on how great my makeup looked. Not only is Nicki super talented, but she is so upbeat and positive -- The exact type of person you want doing your makeup on the biggest day of your life! One of the best vendor decisions you will make!

Hi, Selam! thank you so much for the review. I hope that married life is treating you well. It was amazing working with you on your wedding day. Your wedding will forever be one for the books. Got to love a bride who does things her way and sta...
ys true to herself.
Nicki did my makeup for my bridal shower, as well as my makeup for my wedding day and also my bridal party of 7 and my mother and mother-in-law. I can honestly that working with her was one of the best experiences of my whole wedding planning process. She is ultra professional, has a sweet and calming spirit (which is greatly appreciated during the hustle and bustle of your wedding day lol), and is SUPER talented. She truly made me feel like my best self for my wedding day and took great pride in her work. What also impressed me was the fact that she was punctual on my wedding day and was able to perfectly beat 10 faces within our predetermined timeframe. Also, her assistant was just as talented as she was and all of my bridesmaids looked flawless, as if the same person did each of their faces. Not only did our makeup look great in person, but it remained flawless throughout the evening for all of our pictures. I cannot express enough how wonderful it was to work with her and I would recommend Nicki Mac Brides to ANYONE who wants a flawless face for their wedding day! If I ever have another special event or a vow renewal, Nicki will be my very first call!

Hey Nicci! Thanks so much for the review. I know we've spoken, but I just discovered I could respond to your review so I wanted to stop by and say thank you so much again for letting me be apart of your big day! you are beautiful inside and out...
and your wedding day look is still one of the most requested. And to think we started with a completely different look during your consultation. Thanks so much for trusting me.
I have so many wonderful things to say about my experience with Nicki but I'll do my best to keep it short and sweet. After having two not so good makeup trials I got a bit discouraged, especially considering the fact that in my 35 years of living I have never worn makeup. But then came along Nicki. I found out about her through a mutual friend and she was definitely God sent. I wanted a very natural look for my big day and she delivered! Not only did she do an awesome job on my face, she's also very kind and passionate about her craft!
Response from the Vendor on 12/13/2018
Thank you so much for the review. I still remember our bridal consultation. You were so nervous but loved the outcome! You were such a beautiful bride. Thank you so much for your continued support for Nicki Mac Brides.
I knew Nicki was going to be my makeup artist after she did my daughter's makeup for a dance recital, I fell in love with it! and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Not only was she punctual, she is very warm and friendly. I was nervous on my big day, but she made me feel calm while applying my makeup.. she also explains the process as she does your makeup which I thought was very cool. Thank you for making me beautiful on my big day!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I enjoyed working with you on your wedding day! You were radiant and had the most supportive wedding party! Wishing you the best in the year to come.
From the very first time I met Nicki for my wedding makeup trial, I knew working with her was going to be a completely awesome experience. She is fun, kind, professional, and absolutely exceptional at what she does! I went in to the makeup trial with a pretty solid idea of how I wanted my wedding day makeup to look - but also with not a wide range of makeup knowledge. Nicki took all of my ideas into consideration and then offered me some of her own thoughts as well. After the our makeup trials, and how amazing she made me feel, I knew I had to go with Nicki for my big day. She was there with me left and right during my entire wedding weekend! I felt like an absolute queen, but also my completely natural self. My dress rehearsal night Nicki gave me an amazing evening look with a pop of color on the lips and then calmed me down and made me feel so wonderful about myself on my wedding day. She was so sweet and worked meticulously to get all my bridesmaids and moms looking and feeling incredible. Everyone was gorgeous! She brought me the sweetest wedding gift of the lip colors I was wearing that day to use for touchups and the future. Right before going down the aisle, Nicki was there to touch me up and was there after the ceremony and before the reception for touch ups as well. She elevated my reception look with a bit more of a smoky eye and I've never felt more beautiful in my life. My makeup was spotless the entire time and everyone kept commenting on how amazingly natural and glowy I looked! I would recommend Nicki to any bride who is looking for an extremely kind, professional, great at what she does makeup artist, who will listen to your desires about how you'd like to look and feel on your day while also throwing in some of her own awesome ideas to truly elevate your big day dreams!

ou were such a beautiful bride and so great to work with! I adore you and your mom. Thank you so much again. Pizza is Forever!
Nicki Mac was the first person to ever do my makeup at the age of 28. On that day 11/04/2011 I told her that she would be my MUA on my wedding day. She has been my go to MUA for majority of my makeup needs leading up to my big day. Fast forward to 2016 my wedding year. Nicki was more than professional. Her and her team handled all 11 bridesmaids, mother, mother in law and ME the bride with so much professionalism and care. I (the bride) told her I wanted glittery eyes and she made sure on 10/21/2016 I had glittery eyes. She made sure all of my girls faces were done the way We discussed during my consultation . She even gifted me with my own lippie to touch up my lips on my big day. Her and her teams attention to detail, thoughtfulness and professionalism exceeded and expectations I may have had. She is one of the best to do it in my opinion. Any bride and her crew would be blessed to have her as their MUA on their big day. For any occasion for that matter. P.S. she works well with any skin tone! I overly love her work! She’s an amazing person. Her hands are truly blessed!

I had the pleasure of having my makeup done by Nicki for both my engagement photos as well as our wedding. Words cannot express how pleased my wedding party and i were once she was done. You'll definitely get your money worth if not more and you will not be disappointed :) i will definitely book her again for all my makeup needs.

Thank you so much for the review NeNe. I pray married life is treating you well and the family is doing great. You were so much fun to work with on your wedding day. Tell your mom I said hello.
Not only is Nicki Mac AMAZING on the beat! But she is the right kind of calm that you want on your wedding day. Through the stress of wedding details I didn't make my wedding trial session. No call, no show. Instead of being upset or behaving unprofessionally she simply called to make sure I was ok and that nothing had happened to me. That was TRULY what I needed after the day I'd had.
On my wedding she got there at about 4/5 that morning, worked the ENTIRE day and even played music to help calm me when I started to cry.
Plenty of people can do your makeup (and trust me she's one of them!!! Beat was EVERYTHING!!!) but Nicki is someone to help balance the craziness of your wedding day. My entire bridal party LOVED her.
THANKS SIS! It was an experience.

Thanks Britt for the love! I remember your wedding like it was yesterday. You were absolutely beautiful! Like stunning! You definitely had one of the liveliest weddings parties to date and I loved it. Thank you again.
I booked Nicki for my wedding on 5/19/2018 and she did a phenomenal job on my makeup as well as my bridesmaids and some family members. She is great at what she does. she's also professional, promptly, and a pure delight to work with. I would highly recommend her services to anyone. She goes above and beyond for her clients.
