Reviews for Artistry by Briana - Makeup, Hair & Photography
GUEST




Briana is extremely talented. I love her work and I felt like a million bucks the day of the wedding. I was amazed at how she worked and really listened to what I wanted. The only down side of working with her is that she is extremely overpriced in my opinion and nickel and dimed me for everything....even gas getting to the venue.
GUEST




Briana was wonderful to work with for my wedding hair/ make-up. She did a trial run with me for my engagement photos and did a great job with my hair and make-up that day for 2 different looks (both a natural look and a stylized look). She also worked with me again for a second bridal hair trial look just to give me peace of mind. I had no doubt that she would make me look gorgeous on the big day after that. On the big day, she arrived bright and early to do hair for all my bridesmaids and hair/ make-up for my Mom and I. Briana was both professional and fun to chat with all day. Everyone looked so pretty. Thanks to Briana's talents, I also loved how I looked that day. I looked like myself, yet more elegant and beautiful. Everything was perfect.

I used Briana for my wedding day makeup. Briana did an AMAZING job, I couldn't have been happier! My skin looks flawless in all of my professional high definition wedding photographs. Briana is extremely talented, professional, organized and great to work with. Briana takes the time to really understand the look you are going for. I received many compliments on my wedding day makeup during the event as well as in my professional photos. Briana (and her assistant) also did makeup for my bridesmaids, mom, mother-in-law and stepmother-in-law. Everyone was very happy with their makeup :) I would highly recommend Briana to any brides out there!!
GUEST




Briana did an amazing job for my wedding! She was punctual, personable, and she made me look exactly how I pictured myself. I hadn't even met her prior to my wedding day. I live in Phoenix, and could not get out there for a trial run. For her to get exactly what I wanted with out a trial run or even meeting me, just some pictures over email, I was absolutely blown away! Everyone loved how I looked and the rest of my wedding party was very happy with their services too. She is amazing!!!
GUEST




Briana was kind enough to do my bridesmaids hair. She was amazing. She arrived on time, was really pleasant. My bridesmaids were super picky and I when I saw Briana's website I could tell she was good. She worked so quickly and both ladies looked so amazing. When she arrived at our hotel room the morning of the wedding, I was really confident that she was going to do a great job. She was very professional in all her emails. I always received timely responses from her. And that alleviated a lot of stress for me. My friends were so happy with her work. And I was happy with her warm personality and her professionalism. Even though she wasn't doing my hair (my long time hairdresser was doing my hair as a gift), she still managed to make me feel like part of the pampered experience. And it felt like we a bunch of pals getting our hair done at a slumber party because we all got along so well. The nervousness of the wedding day fell away while she was working with us. I highly recommend Briana. She's is a fantastic artist with a great degree of professionalism.

Briana is terrific! She is a very talented makeup and hair artist. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding, as well as hair and makeup for all four of my bridesmaids. We all have different complexions and types of hair, and we were all happy with how we looked and how the hair and makeup lasted through the night. We all got compliments on our hair and makeup at the wedding. Briana was prompt, gentle, and friendly, and she truly cares about achieving the looks that the bride and bridesmaids want.
GUEST




Briana was great, I loved my hair and makeup for my wedding. She also did a super fantastic job with my bridesmaids, one in which had super curly hair that is hard to work with. Thanks Briana!
GUEST




Briana's work exceeded my expectation. She was really patient with me and listen to all of the request that I had and worked the magic on me. My friends, family and my husband could not stop complementing my hair and make up. I have to say, I looked great on my special day.
I will recommend her to anyone!! You will thank me for my review if you go with her.
Thanks, Briana!!
GUEST




Briana was awesome! When I met Briana for my hair/make-up trial, she immediately put me at ease with her friendly personality. She listened to what I was envisioning for my Big Day, and executed it perfectly. Briana arrived the morning of the wedding on time, calm, and focused. Briana and her assistant completed the hair and make-up for me, 5 bridesmaids and two mothers. My aunt said that she had never seen me more beautiful. Thanks Briana!
GUEST

Brianna was great to work with for my wedding day. She did my hair and makeup, and the makeup for two bridesmaids. I was so pleased with Brianna during the consultation, and on the wedding day. I wasnt quite sure on what hairstyle I wanted, and Brianna was more than patient, and tried several styles on me before I made up my mind. She is extremly professional, and easy to work with. Brianna arrived on time, and was quick to respond with any emails I had. I would highly recommend Brianna to any bride!!

I hired Briana as a make-up artist and photographer for my wedding in December and I highly recommend her services - she is an amazing, creative and talented artist. My make-up looked perfect the entire day and I never once had to retouch. She uses the best make-up products in the industry and is a lovely person to work with - very friendly, puts you at ease and is willing to go that extra mile. We have just received our CD and we are overjoyed with our photos - thank you Briana. If you are looking for the best make-up artist, please be assured Briana is the best and you won't be disappointed.
GUEST




Artistry by Briana Nickas was a great experience. She did my hair, make up, and photography for my baby shower. My hair looked very natural perfect hair do for my baby shower and my make up was so good it lasted on my oily/sweaty face in a hot day being almost 9 months pregnant... I would say that perty darn good. Past experiences with other people didn't do as good as a job. Briana did a good job. The photography was well captured. She did her job so well I didn't have to worry about her. She was on top of her job and for her to do all those three services I have to say she's perty talented.

Briana did a wonderful job in doing my makeup (bride) and my maid of honor. She was on promp and attentive. I would definately use her services again.




I highly recommend Artistry by Briana for your special day. She did an amazing job with my hair and make-up, as well as the mother of the groom and 2 flower girls. Briana was both professional and knowledgeable and was willing to work with our budget. She uses excellent makeup products and really highlighted our best features. We will definitely be calling Briana again for all of our future special occasions.
GUEST




Artistry by Briana will be our first choice for hair and make-up for all of our future special occasions. We received compliments on our hair and makeup throughout the wedding and the makeup dazzled in all of the photographs. Thank you again for such a great job!
GUEST




Working with Briana was amazing. She is extremely professional, but more importantly to me, her skills are incomparable. My make-up for my wedding looked exactly as I had imagined it. It was natural enough so that I still felt like myself, but dramatic enough so that a looked better than I ever have. She was really great and I have and will continue to tell all my friends about her.
GUEST




In addition to being a stand out make up artist, who's work is impeccable, Briana is an amazing, amazing person. What she did, the way she interacts with her clients, how helpful she was on the very best days of our lives, will stay with us forever. She came in and performed, where others had lacked, with out even being asked. We plan on being clients of Briana for many years to come and would recommend her TO ANYONE. She comes to you for trial make up, she uses stellar products, her make up job is flawless and for her level of performance and capacity, she is extremely affordable. Two thumbs up!
GUEST

It was such a great pleasure to work with her. She was actually the make-up artist for one of my bridesmaids' wedding and I knew I wanted her to do my wedding make-up when we first met. She was sweet, friendly, very professional and knows just how to make a girl look glamorous! I would definitely recommend her to everyone!




I loved my services from Briana. Not only is she an AMAZING makeup artist, but she is also an AMAZING photographer! She did my makeup and photography for my engagement photos! They were flawless...my makeup was flawless! People could not believe it was me in the picture! She took such great photos that it took my husband and I forever to pick the one that we wanted to use! She got the picture CD to us in great time. She also did my makeup for my wedding, and honestly it was more perfect then I could have ever imagined! Again, it was flawless! She is professional and highly skilled! I will be using her for many more occassions! If you are looking for an incredible photographer and/or makeup artist she is without a doubt the BEST!

Choose Briana with no hesitation! She was instrumental in the wedding process. She did all makeup and helped with hair when the stylist turned out to be a flake. She also took great pics of us getting ready and having fun. She is sweet, charming and you wouldn't even know she was there if she wasn't assisting in every possible way! I would choose her for any event I ever had and recommend her to everyone!
When Briana did my hair and makeup, I literally felt like a new person. When I looked at myself in the mirror I felt like I was on a makeover show! I didn't know my hair could look so nice and my face looked flawless! I literally felt like a new woman!!! I highly recommend Briana's services! She has such a passion for what she does and it comes out in her work!
I had to tell you that my makeup stayed on all day and night and no one even noticed my"black eye"[the client woke up the day before the wedding with a mysterious black-eye]. You did such a great job. We all looked so great! Take care and thank you again!
Briana brings the highest level of professionalism to her work. Her talents put her on anyone's "A" list! One session with her and you will be a fan. Her skills with makeup and hair design just make my camera sing with joy! I am in total awe everytime we work together.

Briana's makeup and hair will make any bride happy. And you will love the way you look for the most important pictures.
We've worked with Briana on two occasions. All of our brides are beautiful in our eyes and we always get great shots with them. However, when working with Briana, the brides feel that they look extra beautiful and have so much energy when taking photos! Briana pays a lot of attention to the details in her work, and she makes sure every single detail is exactly what her clients expect. It was a pleasure working with her and we look forward to working with her again in the future!
"Briana is a delight to work with ... she has such an upbeat positive personality which helps her clients to relax and have fun."
I can't wait to work with her again!

Please contact me for my rates. I have individual prices for my makeup, hair and photography services. I also offer package deals for multiple services. I am also willing to try to work within one's budget. Therefore, it is difficult for me to post set prices. Contact me, and I'm sure we can work something out! Fill out my Booking Request Form HERE or email me with as much information as possible, and I can give you an accurate quote.
What do I need to do to book you for your services?
Click HERE and fill out my online Booking Request Form or you can also email me to give me the date, time, location and service(s) you need me for. After I receive that information, I will get back to you and let you know whether I am available or not for that date/time. If I am available, I will give you a price quote.

How long does the service take?
It all depends on the specific service(s) being performed. I can usually work within a given time frame (I'll let you know if it will work or not). However, I tend to be a perfectionist, so if the time frame is flexible, I'd like to give myself as much time as possible, rather than have to rush and cut myself short. Worst case scenario, if there's not enough time for me to do makeup and hair, I can always get someone else to help me out with hair. It will usually always work out one way or another (when there's a will, there's a way!).
