Flying Nichola out to my destination wedding In Italy was the best decision out of all the planning.
It was so good and reassuring to have her to do my hair and make up because we’d done all the trials back home face to face so there was nothing lost in translation or on calls etc.
She’s super friendly, calm, collected and would never make the occasion about her or her work. My bridesmaids also commented how lovely and great Nichola is. Would book her in again and again!
She also really knows her stuff. You can suggest any picture to her and she will not hesitate to copy it.
Thank you Nichola!

Wow wow wow Nichola is one amazing lady! I had lost all faith in makeup artists until I found her!
What an amazing job she had done at my wedding yesterday.  We all looked stunning, my bridesmaids were absolutely gorgeous and my mum was beautiful but most of all she made me still look like me but 1000x better!
So from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for making our day with our makeup.  I would recommend you to anyone I speak to!
It also helps you are a lovely lovely lady.
