I recently did my bridal trial with Nicoletta, and I cannot wait to work with her for the day of my wedding! Before coming in for my trial, I texted her for some advice about what ...
type of decorative pin to buy, and she was great about answering my questions. When the day for my trial came, I described what I was interested in and showed her a few pictures. She did two looks for me, and I instantly fell in love with the second version! She made my hair look really incredible, taking into account some insecurities I have about my face shape.
Nicoletta is amazing, definitely hire her for your bridal hair!
Nicoletta is a very talented hair stylist and a lovely human. She has such a fun personality and is such a pro. I loved my bridal hair so much, and it stayed beautiful for the whol...
e wedding, despite the humid heat. Highly recommend Nicoletta!!
Nicoletta is a true hair genius. I use Nicoletta for other styling needs so when it came to my wedding, I felt LUCKY to have her. She has confidence and grace, and this is SO impor...
tant on the biggest party of your life! She asked for a couple photos and inspiration and then took it from there. She makes me feel like a Hollywood movie star, with the most fabulous hair! Not only is she fantastic at her art, but she is also communicative and personable. She makes you feel comfortable and provides a sense of calm on a day that can be extremely stressful. If you’re able to use Nicoletta on your big day, DO IT! I’ve received tons of compliments about how amazing my hair looked, in person and in photos. AND it lasted all night (and I was dancing up a storm). Look no further and book this amazing hair genius.
What can I say about angelic Nicoletta? She made my bridal hair and makeup dreams come true. She was so communicative through the trial process and on the day SHE. DE. LIV. ERED. A...
ll of my bridesmaids said my glam squad was the best they’ve ever experienced (I TOLD them...I was already so impressed by the trials). Nicoletta on hair and her associate Kat on makeup are a dream team. I’m very particular (ok a total freak) about my hair and makeup and give them my highest, highest recommendation. I got soooo many compliments on my dreamy Bardot Bride vibe and I felt more beautiful than I ever have in my whole life. Nicoletta is the real deal!
Nicoletta is fantastic! She's so sweet and is wonderful to work with. She did my bridal hair as well as hair for my bridesmaids and the moms, and all of our hair looked gorgeous! S...
he knows exactly what she's doing. and we couldn't be more thankful for her expertise and talent -- she made us all look so beautiful!
Nicoletta is incredibly talented and was one of my favorite partners/vendors at my wedding! She was the first person I came to (at the recommendation of a girlfriend) for my hair a...
nd I immediately felt at ease working with her. We went through a few different styles during my trial to find "the one" and she couldn't have been more patient or understanding through the process. We actually decided to do two looks the day of the wedding--hair up for the ceremony and down with extensions (to add body/volume) for the party. I was clueless when it came to extensions, but Nicoletta walked me through everything and couldn't have been more helpful during the process. She made time to do a trial for my mom pre-wedding and was amazing with day-of hair for some of the bridesmaids.
Not only is Nicoletta such a talent, but she also has a network of equally talented makeup artists and hairstylists. I found my makeup artist, Tanika, at Nicoletta's recommendation and I am forever grateful! Tanika was amazing to work with and I absolutely LOVED my hair and makeup together.
Due to the size of my bridal party and not wanting to begin too early on the day of the wedding, we asked Nicoletta to bring a third person, Kat, who completely nailed it when doing a handful of my bridesmaid's hair and makeup.
Honestly, I can't recommend Nicoletta highly enough. She's talented, professional, fun to be with, understanding, calm, sweet....the list goes on and on. I am still thanking my girlfriend who recommended her to me.
HIRE NICOLETTA!! She is a GEM! She has such incredible talent, I am still in awe when I think back to my wedding hair. I wanted something a little off the normal bridal hair path, ...
I showed her a picture, and she absolutely KILLED it!! I cannot recommend her enough. Her pricing is competitive, her humor is perfectly sarcastic (so fun to hang with day of!), and her talent is absolutely unmatched. She can do anything you want - and make it look flawless. I was extremely picky with my hairstylist, I cannot tell you how many hours I spent on instagram trying to find a hairstylist with her level of talent, only to be blown away day of by her works of art!!! And on top of that, she took such time and love on my bridesmaids and they all looked incredible! No joke, hire her. Period!
Nicoletta did my hair for my brunch wedding in April. When I met her I'd already done a hair and makeup test with someone else and was panicked because it wasn't what I wanted. It ...
didn't help that everything bridal beauty really stressed me out - I'm pretty casual in my normal life, so it was difficult to know what I wanted/needed. I was also self-conscious about being a bride with natural gray hair. Nicoletta put me at ease right away during the trial, and that's where I met Tanika who did my makeup, too. On my wedding day, they arrived on time, calming and ready to get to work! I was overjoyed with my hair and makeup, which looked beautiful and stayed in place wonderfully for the whole wedding. It was an absolute dream! My maid-of-honor looked gorgeous, too, and was so happy! It really was a joy to start my special day in such capable, kind hands. Thank you, Nicoletta!!!
Nicoletta and Kat did a wonderful job on hair and makeup for the big day! I asked on a Facebook group for a stylist who could do high volume wedding hair, and Nicoletta responsed. ...
I’m so glad she did, because she used a 3 or 4 step technique to get my hair where I wanted it to be:). After the trial, both girls were able to incorporate all the little tweaks I had. It was great having them around for the get ready party! Really appreciate the quick responses leading up the wedding too!
I do not have enough words to express the gratitude I have for Nicoletta and the magic she has with hair! Nicoletta worked with me to create the most beautiful wedding hairstyle th...
at held ALL NIGHT LONG. She even provided me with a little touch up kit to take with me that was so thoughtful. She can do the most unique updo styles my bridesmaids and I have ever seen. They are absolutely beautiful. And the all down and half up styles she did on me made me feel the prettiest I've ever felt. She is truly a wizard of what she does. She's also AMAZING with kids. She was so sweet and fun with my little 2 year old daughter and even helped to do her hair. If you're looking for a hairstylist in the areas Nicoletta covers, do not look any further. She's the best!
Nicoletta was an awesome stylist that came prepared on my wedding day! I didn't have the time to do a trial because I lived out-of-town. After looking through pictures and talking ...
through my ideas via email, she delivered! We came up with something soft and romantic.
She also styled my mom's and sister's hair, and both of them came out loving it! I was an easy bride lol, so I let the bridesmaids choose their hairstyles. Nicoletta customized my mom's and sister's looks to bring out their beauty!
I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. My husband even started crying lol. All in all, I would highly recommend that you book Nicoletta and her team for your big day!!!
I don't know how Nicoletta does it; she has so much talent! On my wedding day, she flawlessly styled myself and 5 other women throughout the morning with ease. She is extremely pun...
ctual, collaborative, kind, and helpful in all aspects of beauty! Each of my bridesmaids had very different ideas for their hair, and she pulled it off amazingly! Nicoletta recommended a make-up artist on my trial day (who I also used on my wedding day), and I couldn't be happier with the results. She was able to incorporate a custom hairpiece into my style and my hair looked amazing all night!
I am so thrilled that I got the opportunity to have Nicoletta as my wedding hair stylist. From the beginning she was responsive, clear, and accommodating when it came to booking a ...
trial and finalizing the contract. At my trial she flawlessly interpreted my rambling thought process and vision into something so tangibly perfect. Did I mention how patient she is? She was more than willing to make as many minuscule adjustments—move this chunk of hair here and twist that piece just a bit there—until I was completely happy with the look (both at the trial and on the wedding day). On the day of the wedding Nicoletta was extremely prompt and prepared. She finished my, my six bridesmaids', and my mother's hair all ahead of schedule. What a calm and stress-free process during could potentially be a stressful time. The bridal party had wonderful things to say about their hair and all felt great. I received countless compliments throughout the night, and am so happy with the way may hair turned out as well as the stress-free, enjoyable process to get it that way. Nicoletta is an exceptional choice if you're looking for a bridal hair stylist.
Nicoletta did mine and my mom’s hair for my wedding in April 2019 and she did not disappoint. I showed her a few photos of what I wanted and during the trial she tried the styles I...
wanted, but with my hair being so difficult, it did not stay. She was awesome though, she took note of how difficult my hair was and tried a variety of different products to help the situation. By the time my wedding day came she was able to tweak the style and find the right products to make it hold. I absolutely loved my hair on the day of my wedding and have never felt prettier. She is extremely talented and very professional. On the day of the wedding she showed up to my place on time and had me out the door on time as well. She also did the coloring of my hair just before the wedding and I absolutely loved the color! I now have started to go to her to get my hair colored. She is amazing and I highly recommend her.
I’m so beyond thankful to have found Nicoletta!!! From initially chatting through Facebook, to the trial, to my wedding day, everything was so perfect!!! I had posted in the Someth...
ing Borrowed, Something New facebook wedding group looking for a hairstylist that would be able to create a specific look after having gone through so many portfolios and not finding what I was looking for; once Nicoletta reached out and I saw her work I was so beyond set! She is an absolute master when it comes to hair and I’m forever thankful not only to have had such a perfect look that lasted all day and night (even through light rain!!!) for my wedding day as well as for my bridesmaids and mothers, but also for all of the de-stressing and helpful advice along the way and for finding my forever stylist!!!
icoletta did my hair and the hair of my mom, mom in law, bridesmaids and two neices for my wedding day. I was also able to do a trial with her beforehand.
She is professional and ...
extremely easy to work with. She is very flexible on styles and truly helped me decide on the look I was most happy with. Her assistant on the day of my wedding was also a delight to work with. Both of them were cool, calm and collected, which was much needed on such a hectic day. They came on time and worked very efficiently and smoothly with the make-up team I hired.
All of our hair lasted through a night full of dancing and I'm so happy with how we all turned out for the photos. Nicoletta was also so sweet to provide a "bridal emergency" kit to help me out even after she had gone. Thank you so much, Nicoletta!!
Nicoletta did my hair and my bridesmaids' hair for my wedding in October 2018. She is fantastic - efficient, receptive, communicative, professional, and so talented. She makes hair...
styling look effortless. I showed her a few photos of what I wanted, and during the trial she did several styles that were so unique and really highlighted the look I was going for. She talked through the styles with me which helped me decide the one I wanted. I picked the style I wanted, and the day of my wedding, my hair was just perfect. My bridesmaids all loved their hair as well. She was able to look at the inspo photos and create something we all loved!
Nicoletta did my hair for my wedding in September and it was perfect! I had originally had another hair artist do my trial, so she worked off of what I wanted based on only the pho...
to and it turned out even better! I had clip in extensions for the day of, and she placed them so comfortable I couldn't even tell they were in my hair all day! My hair stayed perfect all day and looked amazing in all of my photos. Nicoletta was fun to talk to and did all 5 of my bridesmaids hair. Everyone looked amazing! Also, the next day when I went to take out my hair do, there wasn't a ton of product build up and it was so easy to manage! I would 100% go back to Nicoletta and recommend her to any bride for their wedding hair!
Nicoletta is one of the most talented hair stylists I have ever met. She knew exactly how to achieve the wedding day hairstyle that I wanted without me being able to vocalize the e...
xact details. She was extremely professional and kind, making sure that everyone looked fantastic in my wedding party. Her ability to do intricate braids, twists and updos is unmatched in my opinion. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone that is looking for a wedding day look that is unique and beautiful and holds until the end of the reception!
Thank you Nicoletta!
Nicoletta’s work is flawless and as a result, I was able to enjoy both my rehearsal dinner and my wedding days because I knew my hair was taken care of. The day of my rehearsal din...
ner, Nicoletta opted for a soft, relaxed look that went with my 60s dress. The next day for my wedding, we went for a completely different look. Nicoletta created an absolutely beautiful updo complete with clip in extensions. There was no way that hairdo was budging even with various changes throughout the night like adding and removing my veil.
On top of it all, Nicoletta did the hair for my mother who brought her own vintage broach that she wanted her to install. Nicoletta did this with no problems whatsoever and my mother looked absolutely stunning.
I would recommend Nicoletta for anyone’s wedding who is looking to feel confident, secure and beautiful. She was always on time, thorough and did exactly what I was looking for. I am thankful for her daily as photos from these days are hung throughout our home!
Nicoletta is so talented, knowledgeable, professional, and accomplished, and I cannot fully express how happy I was with her work- she made every member of my bridal party look stu...
nning, and helped make my wedding day that much more special. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a hair stylist for their big day!!

er do my hair again in May when we have a big ceremony and reception for all of our family and friends. Thank you Nicoletta for making my hair look fabulous.
Nicoletta is hands down one of the most amazing hairstylists in the industry. She is also extremely professional and is very reliable. I’d 10/10 recommend her for bridal hair work
I searched high and low for the perfect stylist for my wedding. After seeing the photos online from other brides she'd styled I decided to give her a shot. I was very impressed wit...
h how much care she took to do several different styles for me during our trial, and she photographed all of them. Every style was great, but in the end I decided to go for long vintage waves, and she nailed it. She knew exactly what I was going for. Not only did Nicoletta work magic with my long hair, she was incredibly professional and fun to work with. She even accommodated a couple of last minute requests from the bridal party, without hesitation. I was beyond thrilled with the way my hair turned out, and everyone else loved their styles as well.
Thanks, Nicoletta, for giving me confidence and making me feel great on my wedding day! I would absolutely recommend you to everyone!
Every time people look at photos from our wedding, the FIRST thing they say is "Your hair looks so incredible!!"
Truly. And it's so true. Not only can Nicoletta take different tho...
ughts and inspirations and turn them into incredibly gorgeous wedding day hair, she does it all with kindness, a calming presence, and a great sense of humor. She was a joy to have around our special day and I am so thankful she could lend her talents not only to me, but my dear bridal party, our moms, and my sweet grandma too (and EVERYONE looked fantastic).
Nicoletta is now also my new LA hair stylist for all my ever-changing cut and color needs! Two of my co-workers are now her clients after seeing my hair - and a third is on the way.
I truly cannot recommend Nicoletta more highly!!
Nicoletta executed my hair vision PERFECTLY. She got myself and my 7 bridesmaid and moms done ON TIME. Her prices are fair and she is sooooo talented!y hair lasted till the bitter ...
end of the night of my late wedding at 1am.
I can't even express how wonderful Nicoletta was! From my trial to the wedding day, I was thrilled with my bridal look. I don't do much with my hair normally ,and Nicoletta created...
an effortless style that was special but still looked like "me". I had a very large wedding party and Nicoletta handled a 5-hour back to back schedule with grace. Everyone looked amazing and she even squeezed in an extra person who hadn't signed up for hair. I couldn't be more thankful that I booked with Nicoletta. She is the BEST!
Nicoletta did my hair for my wedding in May 2018. Not only did she get down the exact wave (and extensions) I wanted for my wedding look...but she also helped calm my nerves prior ...
to walking down the aisle. She is extremely professional and easy to work with-- and most importantly actually LISTENS to what you want.
Nicoletta even stayed a few hours post ceremony to make sure my extensions were locked in and to fix any fly aways! She is a true gem.
I loved her so much I even started going to her for hair cuts! Highly recommend!
Nicoletta is so talented and professional. She works very efficiently and can do virtually any hair style. I got so many compliments on my hair at my wedding and all of my bridesma...
