Nikki was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her. From start to finish her communication was excellent and I was delighted with my hair and make up for our wedding day. The trial was great, I came with a few photos of what I'd like to hair to be and Nikki created a perfect style that I loved. For make up, I typically only wear a small amount and was conscious that I still wanted to look like me and wow, Nikki delivered. I only wish I could do my own make up half as good every day :-). I opted to not have any bridesmaids and Nikki was lovely company for the morning and stayed right up until the ceremony to ensure everything was just right.

Thanks so much Nikki!

After seeing Nicolas amazing instagram I knew straight away that I wanted Nicola to do my hair for my wedding - I was delighted that she was available! 

At my hair trial I was blown away by how Nicola created the exact style in my hair that I’d shown her in photo ideas. We also tried in a flower hair decoration - it totally put me at ease that I knew my hair was going to be perfect on the day. 

On the morning of my wedding Nicola did my hair, five adult bridesmaids and my 9 year old daughters hair. 

All my bridesmaids have completely different lengths and thicknesses of hair but she effortlessly created a gorgeous bun for all of them, complete with Pearl hair pins which looked gorgeous. I couldn’t believe they all had the same hair up do!

My daughter had a last minute change of mind with her hair, something that wasn’t a problem at all for Nicola - she created the most beautiful half up do with gorgeous soft curls. My daughter was so happy and comfortable - it was perfect. 

I can’t thank Nicola enough for giving me my perfect wedding hair. It looked stunning all day and night even after lots and lots of dancing! Having Nicola with me and my bride tribe all morning was wonderful, she’s such a lovely and kind lady to be around. We all really enjoyed chatting with her whilst the excitement of the day was building. 

She even helped place my vail in my hair so I had the confidence it was sitting properly and correctly before I walked down the aisle. 

Everything from payment and time organisation to hair pin advice and last minute touch ups Nicola was so professional and made everything so easy and enjoyable. 

Do not hesitate to book this extremely talented lady to do your wedding hair, you will not be disappointed in the slightest. 

Thank you Nicola for being such a special part of my wedding day and for making me and my bride tribe feel amazing

I would absolutely recommend Nikki - she did a fantastic job of hair and makeup for myself and the bridal party.

My mum and I really enjoyed our trial, Nikki listened to our ideas and created unique looks to suit us. We were also really impressed how she did the bridesmaids hair and make up too, making sure our ideas were tailored to suit each bridesmaid.

She is very organised and single handedly did hair and makeup for myself, my mum and 4 bridesmaids on the morning of my wedding with time left for touch ups at the end. She fitted right in with the group and it was a pleasure to have her with us.

Everybody’s makeup really enhanced them and looked great in the photos. All of our hair and makeup stayed in place right until the end of the night - I actually fell asleep without taking my hair down and it was still perfect the next day!

I can't thank Nicola enough for everything on our wedding day.

I booked on the recommendation of a relative who was due to get married and after seeing her hair and makeup on the day, I knew I had made the right choice.

On our trial day, we had the Bride, Maid of Honour, a Bridesmaid, a flower girl and Mother of the Bride, all not 100% sure of what we actually wanted but Nikki listened and looked at photos we had found and instantly created the look we were all hoping for.

On the day, Nikki arrived on time and set straight to work getting us all ready. It was a lovely relaxed morning with lots of laughs and everyone looked amazing. I am extremely self conscious but I loved the way Nikki made me look, it was everything I had wanted. She is an actual miracle worker!

Thank you so much, I definitely would recommend Nikki to anyone.

I just wanted to write and thank you for my hair and make up for our wedding in July. The morning was a bit chaotic but you absolutely brought a calming presence and helped me completely relax into it. The look was just what I had imagined and was a perfect balance of something special for the day but nothing too overwhelming for someone who doesnt wear a huge amount of make up. I felt great all day and despite it being one of the hottest days in the UK ever (!) the hair and make up lasted perfectly without me having to worry about it.

I cannot express enough thanks or praise for Nicola- she was simply incredible.

Nicola was absolutely amazing and I really could not recommend her any more highly. Nicola was so friendly, lovely and very reassuring company.

At the trial with me and my mum, Nicola managed to create absolutely amazing looks with very vague instructions which was really impressive. We were both absolutely thrilled with our hair and make up and opted for similar looks on the big day.

On the wedding day, Nicola was extremely efficient at doing hair and make up for our bridal party (5x hair styles and 3x make up) but it was all to complete perfection. Everybody's hair and make up lasted really well and remained perfect throughout the whole day (over 16 hours) (and some even to breakfast the next morning!). All the bridal party were very pleased and impressed with Nicola's work and there were lots of compliments on the day about our hair and make up.

Nicola was very helpful throughout the morning during preparations and after (staying a while longer to help with getting ready and any final touch ups prior to the ceremony), and was a very calming influence and just really lovely to be around.

Thank you so so much Nicola - I will be recommending you to anyone I can.

I wouldn't have felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day without Nicola.

Nicola is a wonderful, sweet person who seems to click easily with people. I felt so at ease when having both my trial and makeup/hair done for my wedding day.

I absolutely loved the hair style you created with my hair accessory, the wind tried hard to mess it but it still maintained the curls and waves you gave it.

My makeup lasted all day, the eyeshadow, foundation etc was still there after 12 hours! I felt so so good with the look you gave me.

My husband and guests said I looked beautiful and stunning. It was perfect.

Thank you so much for being a part of making our day special and for helping me feel beautiful.

Nicola provided hair and make up for my bridal party last month and everyone was so pleased with how they looked and we had no end of comments from the guests on hair and make up. I had an idea of how I would like to look on my wedding day in my head but not so much on paper but regardless Nicola made me look exactly how I imagined I would look on my wedding day and I felt like a princess (cheesy I know). Nicola was extremely lovely, professional and attentive throughout, making us all feel at ease which was especially important as I’d never had my hair in an updo or make up done before this. Thank you Nicola for your fab hair and make up services !

Nikki was an absolute gem on our special day, doing hair and makeup for myself and 4 bridesmaids. She was so relaxed and calm on what could have been a very hectic day! All of the bridesmaids were so pleased with their looks and Nikki was able to incorporate their unique styles and vision. My trial in advance meant that it all went off without a hitch on the day. Couldn't have asked for more, thank you again Nikki!

Nikki did the hair and makeup for me, my mum, my mother-in-law, and my flower girls for my wedding a couple of weeks ago and she was absolutely fantastic. We all loved our hair and makeup. Nikki was very flexible and open to our ideas and preferences. Nikki was also very calm and collected under pressure, and even helped button up my dress when we found ourselves in a last minute rush! 😊 thanks Nikki, you were fab!

If you could rate someone higher than 5 stars I would ! 😃 Nikki did hair and make up for myself, 3 bridesmaids and mother of the bride on my wedding on 9th November. From the second I reached out to book Nikki’s communication was extremely good, the trial put us at so much ease as she listened to what we all wanted and did such a good job none of us wanted any changes. Then on the actual wedding I felt very calm knowing we were in safe hands! She did the whole wedding party in less than 4.5 hours, never once felt rushed and we had time to spare for touch ups. Really impressed that despite the spare time Nikki didn’t leave until we left for the ceremony just incase of any last minute touch ups we wanted. Don’t hesitate to book Nikki for your wedding ! ❤️

Nikki was absolutely fantastic! From the first email I sent her through the trial and the wedding day itself, she was an absolute joy to work with - she's friendly, professional, and very talented! She did both my hair and makeup for my wedding, as well as hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and hair for both mums, and everyone was so pleased with their final looks. She understood exactly what we all wanted and delivered it perfectly, and even after a long (and windy!) day, our hair and makeup still all looked great. I really couldn't recommend Nikki more!

Nicola did mine and my bridal parties hair for my wedding on the 27th July. She did such an amazing job and listened to exactly how I wanted my hair to look. My bridesmaids hair was amazing too and even though all their hair was different lengths she created a style that worked on them all. I would highly recommend Nicola to anyone looking for a hair stylist for their wedding. Thank you so much once again!

Nikki was absolutely brilliant on my wedding day, I honestly couldn't have asked for a better person to trust my wedding hair and make up with!
She was so lovely and nice to be around, and easy to talk to and explain what you wanted. I told her what I wanted my hair and make up to look like and she nailed it!
She also did the hair and make up for my mum and bridesmaids and they looked gorgeous!
Would 1000% recommend her to anyone who wanted their hair and make up doing! Thank you so much Nikki!!

Nikki did the most amazing job on my wedding day doing hair and make up for myself, two bridesmaids and my mum. Nikki is so talented - our hair was stunning and our make up perfect, and all adapted to suit our individual preferences. Nikki works very efficiently and even once she had finished, she still stayed for final tweaks and even helped button up my dress. The trial itself was fantastic - nothing was too much trouble and she was more than happy to try small changes here and there to ensure my look was absolutely perfect for me. On top of all of this, Nikki is a really lovely person and her communication was excellent. The whole process was completely stress-free, professional and enjoyable!! Thank you so much Nikki.

Nikki is super professional, patient and friendly, and I'd highly recommend her to any bride!

I cannot thank Nikki enough for doing the hair and make up for myself and my 5 bridesmaids. It was a 6am start, but Nikki was friendly and relaxed throughout and put up with all the champagne popping and shrieks of excitement around her. Each bridesmaid gasped when Nikki turned the mirror around and they saw themselves, they loved it just as much as I did. Nikki even helped me put my veil on and and with it being Cathedral length, it would not have stayed in place without her help. Thank you Nikki xx

I had the pleasure of having Nikki do my hair and make up for my wedding in April, and what a fantastic job she did. At the initial meeting she got my make up just perfect, enough but not too much as it was important I looked like me still. My hair on the day was honestly so much better than I could have asked for!
Nikki was a great laugh to have on the wedding morning, the bridesmaids, myself and Nikki all in hysterics. All of our make up looked fab the entire day and the bridesmaids hair looked elegant and stylish and I received loads of compliments on my hair.
I would 100% recommend Nikki to anyone who wants to look and feel amazing!

Thank you so much again Nikki,
Love from Mrs Smith and all the bridal party xx

Nicola did both our hair and makeup. She was brilliant on our trial and on the day. She had an early start and managed to do myself, 4 bridesmaids and both mother of the bride and groom. When I first started enquiring I was told by many others that there was too many of us to fit in for both hair and makeup before our wedding but Nicola ensured me this wouldn't be a problem. I was amazed at the results Nicola managed to achieve and would 100% recommend to anyone. She made me feel beautiful.

What an absolute star Nicola is! She did the hair and makeup for myself, my mum and my 3 bridesmaids last month and I couldn't have been more impressed! I could tell from my trial how talented Nikki was, from a couple of photos I found online, she managed to create a look that was elegant, natural and fresh - exactly what I was after! Our hair and makeup lasted all day, which considering the blizzards was a real triumph! I felt so beautiful and this really shines through on our photos - I don't think I've ever smiled so much! A huge thank you from us all xx

’ve never felt so beautiful! Nicola did such an amazing job for my wedding day. Nicola did my hair and makeup, my mums hair and makeup and 3 bridesmaids hair styles in like 3 hours! And we all looked gorgeous! I was actually quite sick on my wedding day and really wasn’t feeling my best, but Nicola made me look so amazing and you honestly would have had no idea! She was so lovely and kind and calm even when I started to get a bit nervous, and took on board any last minute additions or changes I wanted to make to my hair or makeup! I could not recommend Nicola enough. Thank you so much for making all us ladies feel our very best!

I contact Nicola only 6 weeks before my wedding day. I explained I was due to get married on Easter Sunday(16.04.17) and was she available? She had originally left that day free to spend time with her family over the bank holiday but agreed to help me and my bridal party on my big day, how amazing is that!!!  I had already booked and had several hair trials with a previous stylist but they was unable to achieve what I wanted. Nicola made me feel at ease, offered advice and listened to what I wanted and did exactly that the first time. She was so professional that even at my first hair trial she arrived with a little portfolio with photographs of hair styles I had previously sent her. She spent hours listening to myself and the rest of my bridal parties wishes. She is just brilliant. She got it spot on. Such a lovely genuine, passionate and knowledgeable person. I would recommend Nicola a million times over :))

I simply cannot recommend Nicola enough. She is an absolute gem. She was incredibly professional and friendly and made me feel relaxed, happy with stunning results. Nicola was very responsive throughout the whole booking process and very flexible to suit my needs. She did my hair and make up exactly as I asked and was responsive to any changes I wanted. Nicola also did my bridesmaids and mother in law's hair and make up and she made them all look beautiful based on their individual character and style. I cannot thank you enough! You're such a lovely person and I would recommend your services to anyone. Thank you
