Nicole Laughlin Makeup Artist

h where I felt unnatural. Highly recommend!

as well. She is extremely quick and efficient with her time, and truly puts you at ease throughout the process.

ffered to come to my getting ready location even though it was just me getting my hair and makeup done so I wouldn’t have to travel out of my way to her studio. At my trial, she was so sweet and made me feel totally comfortable. She asked a lot of questions to get exactly what I wanted and she knocked it out of the park. The morning of my wedding she came to my parents house to do my hair and makeup and blended in with everyone perfectly! She was fun, kind, and I looked and felt like an absolute movie star. I did danced ALOT throughout the night and when I got home, my hair and makeup looked just like it did right after she finished it! I cannot recommend her highly enough!!!

re beautiful than I did on my wedding day. Cecily did my hair and I felt like a celebrity! They both vibed with my bridal party and we had a really fun, relaxed time. They took our feedback and really listened to what we wanted. Would recommend Beauty Soiree to everyone!

who are incredible at their job AND take it professionally and seriously. We love Nicole!

le got back to me in a timely fashion and was able to secure a team for my wedding hair and make up. Brianna (makeup) and Brittany (hair) were both a dream come true. Brianna listened each of my bridesmaids and made sure their makeup was exactly what they wanted - some wanted a more natural look while others wanted a bit more glam. I loved my wedding day makeup. Brianna helped me pick a lip color that I felt like myself in - easier said than done, and I cannot thank her enough for her patience during my trial. Not only did our make up look great, but it lasted all day! My hair was an absolute dream. Brittany made sure my hair was exactly how I wanted it and my curls lasted well into the day after my wedding. Don’t ask me how, but it was magic! She helped my MOH learn how to put in my veil and take it out without messing anything up. She seriously thought of everything! Booking a trial was a win all around. It helped me share any inspiration and iron out any changes so my wedding day was completely dress free. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an all around wonderful experience and top notch hair and makeup!

nd fun to be around! My friends said it was the best hair/makeup they'd ever had and everyone felt beautiful. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for hair/makeup services!

derful to work with. We're super grateful--literal lifesavers!

mmodating and flexible, their skills are phenomenal, and their personalities make you feel like you're surrounded by friends. They really do everything in their power to put the bride first and make the bride feel comfortable throughout the entire process, and most importantly - they are so open and accommodating to feedback/concerns. The day of the wedding, Nicole and Ashley (and team) did hair and makeup for me (bride), my maid of honor, flower girl, and mother of the bride. They made everyone look gorgeous and feel comfortable every step of the way. I could not have asked for a better experience and I received endless compliments throughout the entire wedding day. I would absolutely hire Nicole and Ashely for another event.

autiful! I would recommend her over and over again! So thankful for Nicole!

verything held up all night even after some happy tears and a lot of dancing!

party feel SO BEAUTIFUL on my wedding day. I showed her a picture of what I wanted, and she gave me EXACTLY what I was looking for. She was also punctual and works super fast too! I would totally recommend her any day of the week!

y as well. Both girls are insanely talented. They are professional, easy to work with, responsive and truly made my day more enjoyable. Nicole and Cecily really catered to who they were working on, to make our visions come to life. We got compliments all night long on all of our hair and makeup. Nicole and her team are hands down the best in RVA.

extremely easy to work with (it was like getting ready with a bunch of good friends not vendors) & very accommodating with early morning start times. I had a brunch wedding and had to start hair & make up at 5:30AM. Plus, I love that she & her team all have experience with all skin tones & hair textures. They made me feel absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day & I can't recommend them enough!

xtremely polite! Every single person during the wedding day loved their makeup and hair! We had a broad range of wishes and she did everything from natural to full glam! The confidence she gave me was unforgettable and I hope to have an excuse to use her again someday!!!

ly when she said she would, and made sure she thoroughly sanitized after each person. During the bridal trial and the day of the wedding, she made sure that I was satisfied with how I looked. My two bridesmaids also loved their makeup! I don’t normally wear much makeup, and she nailed the “soft, natural glam” look I was going for. Give her and her crew a call for your wedding day!

air styles and the makeup made all of our beauty pop. Nicole especially brought out everyone’s eyes which I loved. No big touch ups were needed before the ceremony and Nicole customized all the girls makeup to what they wanted. I loved my natural glam because I don’t wear a lot of makeup and it never felt like I had a lot on. I would highly recommend her and her crew not only for their talent but overall good vibes that had us all dancing and laughing.

edule. Nicole & Cecily (hair) nailed my bridal look based on inspiration pictures I showed them! I would highly recommend Nicole and her team!

et to work. They were patient, friendly and so much fun to work with. I wish I could shout from the rooftops how good they are!! Thanks ladies!! :)

orgeous. My make up made it through the heat and humidity which says a lot. Nicole has years of experience and is great at listening and understanding your requests. Thank you, Nicole!

, and my wedding day. I had both an American and an Indian ceremony, and she stuck around all day to help change my look and make sure I looked flawless as I moved from event to event. I had a soft, natural look for the American ceremony and a slightly more glammed up look for the Indian one. I have NEVER felt more beautiful than I did that day, and having Nicole's humor, confidence boosting personality, and efficiency on my side helped make the whole getting ready process so enjoyable! Also, did I mention how fast she works?! She and her team did hair and makeup for 11 people and were done an hour ahead of schedule- such a great thing on an already busy and stressful day!! I loved working with Nicole so much and will go to her every time I want to look and feel my best!

all the changes I wanted to make for the day of. She traveled all the way to Charlottesville for my wedding and only charged $50 for travel which was amazing. The day of I was a nervous wreck yelling commands and generally freaking out. Nicole and Cecily did my hair and makeup so flawlessly that as soon as I saw it all put together I was instantly relieved. They were so efficient and got everyone done ahead of schedule! They put up with my diva-ness, were patient when members of my bridal party were late, and best of all, their prices were FANTASTIC. I would recommend Nicole to anyone looking for bridal makeup. Do not hesitate to reach out to her, even if you're just interested and want to hear more. She is very quick to respond (I mostly contacted via facebook message) and is always so pleasant and kind. LOVE THEM! Thanks for helping make my wedding day absolutely perfect.

r job, honestly, and she was so easy to work with and just top to bottom perfect as far as a makeup artist. I also had her do my rehearsal dinner makeup, and she was super easy to work with for that as well. In fact, I had an emergency right before my appointment, and she agreed to come to us and set up her entire station so quickly and got my and my best friend's makeup done in record time (helpful given that I had tried to chop my finger off by accident and was bleeding nonstop). I have booked Nicole to do makeup for my holiday party as well and I genuinely wish I had more events to book her for because she does such an amazing job.

s. I️ don’t typically wear Foundation or concealer so I️ any time I️ do I️ hate the feeling, but something I️ hate worse? Cake face; and that’s pretty much what I was rocking all night, that being said it looked flawless in photos. So I’m feeling very conflicted. Also when you book there are a few things I️ didn’t see coming, like a $50 travel fee for an in town wedding and also she books more than 1 wedding a day so it feels rushed. If need her for event makeup I️ say yes 100% get her to do it. She is knowledgeable and very talented but for a wedding I️ would rather feel like more of a priority.

and makeup on myself, 6 bridesmaids and 2 mothers. Everyone looks amazing! They both took well to criticism after the original trial as well and there were no issues when we did my final look!

ir flexibility throughout the whole process. I changed up my hair about two weeks out from the wedding and requested another hair trial. They also were able to accommodate us when our wedding date moved up one day due to the arrival of Hurricane Matthew! Thank you so much for the great work!

r easy to work with especially with my day-of timeline I created to keep everyone on track (I'm a little OCD haha). They are so great to work with - I highly recommend them for any wedding!!

evisit

and has even taught me a thing or two. 100% recommended.

s all day. Her sweet and vivacious personality is an asset in helping make a stressful day go smoothly. I'd give her ten stars if I could! We could not be more happy with the service received and look forward to having Nicole take care of us on all our special occasions! ❤️

akeup artist. She makes you feel so comfortable and listens to your concerns or ideas. I would recommend her a thousand times over to anyone!

her as a professional, and I can't wait for the excuse to use her services for myself!

came out great in the pictures and lasted the entire night. she was fun to work with and was very receptive to comments/changes/ideas during our makeup trial. located in richmond but travels for reasonable fee.
