Nicole DeAnne

Nicole is extremely friendly and easy going. I went to my hair and make-up preview with a few ideas and after expressing those to her she came up with something great.The final product was everything i imaged it would be.

Nicole did an amazing job on both my hair and makeup. She captured my inspirations perfectly! Both my hair and makeup lasted ALL DAY! She also did my mother and mother-in-law's hair and makeup. They were both pretty indecisive about their wedding day looks, but Nicole did a fantastic job making them look absolutely stunning without looking too made-up. I loved the fact that she does amazing hair AND makeup...I would totally recommend her to ANY bride in SoCal.

Nicole was the best decision I made for my wedding! She is not FLAKY AT ALL! She was one of the best vendors I chose. My cake vendor on the other hand was a problem. Nicole did exactly what I wanted and helped me feel beautiful on my engagement session. I could not be more excited for her to be apart of my wedding! Nicoles work is priced well and worth every penny! I am excited, and will REFER HER TO EVERY ONE I KNOW!

She's great and easy to work with! Check out her blog, you'll see that she really does a great job with hair and makeup, and all you asians out there, don't be afraid, she's got you covered!

Nicole did my hair and makeup for my wedding day and my engagement session. I LOVED my hair and makeup and am now a wedding planner who refers Nicole to ALL of my brides. She is the sweetest, most talented artist in the area. Many of my bridesmaids have been in over 4 weddings and all agreed that Nicole made them feel like the prettiest bridesmaids ever!

I had the pleasure of meeting Nicole Deanne in November 2009 in Maui, HI for my wedding. We met the day before for the very first time when she came to do my hair and makeup trial. I gave a brief description of the look I was after and she ran with it- giving me exactly what I wanted and then some!! On the wedding day itself Nicole couldn't have been sweeter! Her professional yet laid-back nature is incredibly disarming... especially to an anxious bride on one of the most important days of her life! Once again she did a wonderful job on both my hair and makeup! Both stayed in place all day, which is no small feat in windy Maui! I am delighted Nicole was able to be a part of our most special day and would HIGHLY recommend her services to others! :)

I had a great experience working with Nicole. I saw her several times, for my e-pic hair and makeup, my trial and my wedding day. The makeup she did for my e-pics was the best anyone has ever done my makeup, I was so pleased! She was very sweet and accommodating when I wanted to try a few different looks.

On the day of the wedding, she was on time and both Nicole and her assistant did a great job on my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup. They all looked gorgeous!

She did a great job on me as well, I was a bit unhappy with my hair BUT that is totally my fault, not Nicole's. She did exactly what we planned in my trial, I just wish looking back that I had chosen a different hairstyle.

I love her and recommend her to any bride needing hair and makeup on their big day!

Nicole is amazing and knew exactly what I wanted when I explained it to her! She did my hair and make up for my wedding and I couldn't have been happier!! I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing hair and make up services for any occasion!

Nicole did my hair and make up for my wedding and I loved it!! I am also a hairdresser which sometimes makes it more difficult but she knew EXACTLY what I wanted and was very friendly and completed my hair and m/u in a VERY timely manner and I was out the door and gorgeous in no time!! I would definitely recommend EVERYONE to nicole deanne!!

Words cannot descibe how wonderful Nicole was. I found her only a few months before my wedding and she exceeded all my expectations. She did a wonderful job on me and she took her time. She responded to my inquiries very fast. She is also very nice and friendly. Everyone complimented on who did my make up and asked me to refer them to her. Nicole was just GREAT!

this review is for hair/makeup trial only.

i had a great experience w/Nicole. The reason why I didn't go w/her was because I found out a relative from out of the country was coming and would do it. Nicole is very easy going and personable. She goes over your ideas and photos and simulates the hair style you bring her. Her makeup does stay on for the whole day! I had asked her to do a natural and a smoky eye and she advised for me to stay in both eyes for the duration of the day, which is really something I haven't experienced with others. Nicole just wants to make sure you are getting what you want and that's always appreciative. She's also a recent bride and can surely appreciate all the wedding convo you share w/her.

Nicole really makes her brides look beautiful and feel glamorous! She is very good at what she does, both hair and makeup. She can create any hairstyle you like and tweek it to fit the shape of your face/head so that you look great! And she'll ask you for your preference on the makeup, but has great suggestions of her own. Some makeup artists and hairstylists work well only with certain types of hair textures or skin tones, but if you look at the photos on her website, you'll see for yourself that she can make any bride look her best. With such artistry and skills, it can get pricey if you want to book her for your bridesmaids, your engagement session photos, a hair and makeup trial and the wedding day-of service. If you're willing to spend the money, she is well worth it.

I would not recommend working with Nicole. She was dishonest and completely unprofessional. After she pressured me into signing our contract and stated that she would be able to be flexible with respect to a start time, she did not honor her promise. Subsequently, she agreed to return my $100 deposit, but then did not do so and would not return any emails or phone calls. If you have a choice between her and another makeup/hair artist, I would go with your other choice so that you do not lose money on someone who is dishonest and irresponsible.

Nicole did an absolutely amazing job on my bridal hair/makeup! I'd had a couple previews with her beforehand but still hadn't completely decided which hairstyle to go with. The day of, we went with a slight variation of one of the previews and it couldn't have turned out better! I'd never felt more beautiful! I received so many compliments on my hair and overall look that it was reassurance I'd made the right choice. She's super sweet and amazing talent, what more could you want!

Nicole did my wedding hair and makeup which was perfect from the second it was done till I took it off at the end of the night. The makeup looks completely "done" but still fresh and natural which is really hard to do. I also had her do my mother's hair and makeup, which turned out amazing, showing that she can do makeup for a wide variety of people. I highly recommend Nicole for any bride looking for someone who they can be 100% confident will do an amazing job!

Where do I start? Nicole is AMAZING...not only is she incredibly talented, she is the most sweetest funniest person, from the moment I met her, we hit it off instantly it's as if I had known her for years. She is so completely understanding, listens to exactly what you want, and works closely with you to make you feel completely comfortable. I did a lot of research on makeup services and really did not have a big budget, but Nicole was very flexible and worked with me on pricing. At our preview session, she also took a lot of time with me to get the look that I wanted, and it was perfect. She even took photos in different lighting to see what it would like on camera and sent them to me so I can see how the makeup photographed. The day of my wedding, both Nicole and her assistant Emmalee arrived promptly at my house, and all my girls had such fun getting ready with them. We were all completely transformed, the makeup was striking yet natural, Nicole really knows how to play up on your best features..hair was soft, natural and most importantly very modern sexy!! Even my mom and grandma, both incredibly old fashioned and had already done their own makeup and hair, decided last minute to have Nicole work on them after seeing what an incredible job they did with my bridesmaids.Even to this day a year later, we can't stop talking about how absolutely stunning, gorgeous, red carpet ready Nicole and Emmalee made us look that day...we've tried unsucessfully to recreate the look on our own and are thinking up of a reason to hire Nicole again to make us look as beautiful as we did that day.Nicole you are the best! thank you so much for making me feel like a goddess on my special day!!Brides to be...you will be so thrilled with Nicole and the magic that she can create!

I used Nicole DeAnne for my bridal makeup only.

My makeup looked beautiful and was exactly what I wanted. I had booked last minute and didn't have time for a trial, so I went with Nicole because the online pictures of her work looked better and fresher than some other (slightly cheaper) makeup artists I found. If you don't have time for a makeup trial, feel confident that Nicole will do a great job.

My makeup lasted all night, and I was very pleased. Her fee even included the false eyelashes and a MAC lipstick.

Nicole certainly is RAD~!
She’s professional, fun and very accommodating. We tried various hairstyles and makeup (which lasted all day) until we found the right combo. She did my hair and makeup for my engagement session and my wedding. On the wedding day, my bridesmaids just gave her some ideas on how they wanted their hair and makeup and Nicole and her assistant did a fabulous job and everyone looked great. I wanted to get extensions before my engagement session and she did a wonderful job. It lasted for months after my wedding. She’s awesome. I definitely recommend her!

I don't remember how I came across finding Nicole, but thank god I did!! Nicole was an absolute gem to work with. I had seen about 4 or 5 different MUAs for my wedding last May, and they weren't able to capture the look that I had envisioned. Nicole nailed the look (both make-up and hair) on the trial, so there was no need for another trial, although, I wanted to see her again so that I can look pretty =); however, on the day of the wedding, she made me look even better!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and cannot stress enough how talented and professional she is. We had some scheduling conflict, but she was very upfront and on my wedding day, she was PROMPT and was ready to go!

All the girls, mom and aunt received so many compliments. If I ever had another chance to work with her again, I would do it in a heartbeat! She is RAD!

Nicole DeAnne was AMAZING! She did my hair and makeup for the big day and I wouldn't have had anyone else!We had a destination wedding and only had 1 week in LA to plan the wedding and meet with vendors. The last day I was in town, I was speaking at a convention, and figured what better time to do my test? She came to my hotel bright and early and tried different styles until we landed on what was perfect. The makeup stayed on ALL day plus a red-eye flight home to Atlanta! My hair was all in place too so I knew it would last a whole wedding day. The day of the wedding she was a calming force in the room of all chaos and I was finally at ease as I sat in the chair and let her do her magic. At the last minute I changed my mind about the hair style and asked if it was too late to change. She loved the idea and we tried it out - and it was even better than I imagined! I'm a wedding photographer and I've worked with TONS of vendors and I can honestly say Nicole was top-notch and one of the best I've worked with! She's completely professional, sweet, and accommodating.

I had an excellent experience with Nicole for my March 2009 wedding. I found out about her work through various blogs and as an east Asian woman, I could tell from photos that this white woman knew how to work it! She was always prompt with emails and phone calls; professional and creative during my preview session; and made me feel like I was getting the best service and would look my best on my wedding day. She has a very sweet, friendly, and down to earth personality and loves to help people look their best. She was open to changes and kept my preferences in mind first while making insightful recommendations and giving honest feedback.

Nicole was on time on the wedding day and confirmed with me multiple times on location and time. I never felt like I would be left hanging and felt like I was in good hands.

On the day of the wedding, I felt incredibly beautiful and the makeup and hair stayed well into the night. She uses professional makeup products from a huge toolkit, brings her own stools and directors chair for makeup, and she clipped in extensions that I bought on my own. She also did my mom's makeup and my usually skeptical mom felt like she hadn't looked that good in a long time. She is a definite top pick in my opinion for any bride who is looking for an experienced bridal hair and makeup artist.

Nicole was awesome! During my trial I wasn't in love w/ my hair, so the day of she tweaked it and I LOVED IT. I also don't normally wear a lot of makeup and she definitely knows how to make you look natural, fresh and beautiful. She was also very responsive to her emails which is huge during the wedding planning process. I would definitely recommend Nicole to any bride... I already am passing her info to future brides!

I really enjoyed working with Nicole. She was very responsive to my emails, and even showed up to my wedding venue early to do my hair and makeup on site. She was extremely professional and you can tell through the quality of her work that she really enjoys what she does. Two weeks before my wedding day, we did a trial run and she listened to all that I had to say and was able to deliver the look I was going for. My makeup lasted all day (morning wedding) and she truly made me feel beautiful. I strongly recommend using Nicole DeAnne for your wedding day!

I contacted Nicole because a previous makeup artist flaked on me. Nicole was so sweet and professional. She made me feel so gorgeous on my wedding day. I emailed her after the wedding thanking her and telling her how sad I was to have to wash it all off. The makeup/hair/fake eyelashes stayed put so well I almost thought I didn't have to, but I did. It was so convenient being able to trust Nicole with BOTH hair and makeup, and she works incredibly FAST which is SO important on an already packed wedding day schedule. She is so sweet and she'll help you feel relaxed while she's working on you. And she'll make you look like you wish you looked every single day.

Nicole was so great! She had such a fun personality and cool style. I didn't have a regular stylist in the area so I had to pick from reviews and word of mouth. I picked her because her website was chic and not hokey like so many others and her prices were very reasonable. Actually, I would've chosen her her even if she was a bit more expensive because I couldn't imagine putting my hair and make-up in the hands of someone I wasn't sure about! Luckily she was very well priced. She even traveled to San Diego from Orange County, arriving at around 5:30 AM, and still was perky, and less expensive than other San Diego vendors. Also, I didn't have a solid idea of what I wanted for my hair, but at the preview she was able to put everything I wanted into one do and it was perfect! I never felt so beautiful! I highly recommend Nicole. She also did a lovely job with my mother!

Nicole is absolutely amazing!!! I am forever grateful that I found her. She is on of the sweetest girls I have ever met! I know that my review is premature since I have only seen her for my preview, but I cannot stop gushing about her. She is the first person to ever be able to make my hair and make up look absolutly mind blowing. Will update after wedding!

Nicole did my bridal hair and makeup on my wedding day. She also did my hair and makeup for my engagement photos. I will never go to anyone else! She is amazingly talented at what she does. She will bring out anyone's natural beauty. She knows what will look good on you, even if you are not sure what look you are going for. If you use her, you will look AMAZING and PERFECT in photos...my bridal photos made the cover of one magazine and in an article in another magazine. Not to mention she is so sweet and fun to chat with. So you can trust this woman with your special day for sure! Like I said, I will never go to anyone else! Her popularity has really taken off too because she is the best! So book her while you still have a chance!

Nicole did an awesome job and is so receptive to what you're looking for. She really listens to your glam goals for the wedding day and implements them flawlessly! Love her!

I love Nicole. She is the best makeup/hair gal ever! She made me stunning on the trial and made me more glamorous on my wedding day. She is so sweet and outgoing. She's really pretty too! She made me feel so comfortable. She's really good at what she does. She's quick but not too fast or hasty. I'd recommend her to any gal!

She was FAB! She was patient working with me through numerous trials and had great ideas. I ended up going with one of her signature asymmetrical dos. It was so pretty! I got a ton of compliments on it and it was classic yet sassy and swept off my shoulders the whole night. It held really really well - didn't budge at all - but didn't feel to stiff and pinned. I am forever in her debt! The make up was very pretty too. It was natural yet held all night - honestly - I didn't need to touch up all day or night except lipstick. She gives you a lipstick so you can touch up. :) Also - the fake lashes rocked! I'd had someone else do them during a trial before I chose Nicole and they didn't look great. Nicole has the magic touch. She's also VERY fast. It's amazing how she can do such a good job in such a short amount of time. She did hair for 4 bridesmaids, makeup for my mom, and my hair and makeup in like 2 hours. So fast! The only thing to note is that it can add up ... trials, travel, etc. but worth the investment. Thank you Nicole for making me a beautiful bride!!!!

Nicole is an absolute delight! She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and had a knack for keeping all of us relaxed and chatting. Her work was absolutely beautiful but also incredibly fast. We were done ahead of schedule and everyone was happy with their final look. I got so many compliments thank to Nicole and her amazing work, plus enjoyed getting to know her.

BEWARE BRIDES or anyone who books her!!! This lady totally flaked on me on my event. Although it wasn't for a wedding, I booked her a month prior to my event. She told me that she would touch base with me before my event. I didn't get an email from her during the week of my event, so I decided to email her myself. She wrote me back saying the she booked another person the same day and if I could come to her salon! I told her that I couldn't do that (especially notifying me the day before my event) and she said that she would cancel with her client. However,at 11pm, she emailed me asking me to pay extra for traveling fee!!!! Her reason was that she didn't check the driving distance until then!!! I refused to pay the extra fee since it was never disclosed beforehand and told her how disappointed I was with her. She wrote me back writing a lame excuse of how busy she was with her personal life, blah, blah, blah. All I can say is she is totally UNPROFESSIONAL. I hope no one experiences this on their actual wedding day, so please hire a PROFESSIONAL!

I am so thankful I found you Nicole. You are so talented & genuine. Thank you for transforming me & my bridesmaids into gorgeous beauties on my wedding day. You are awesome.

Thank you so much for all your hard work in helping me look and feel beautiful for my wedding. You have been so helpful throughout the planning process and I am so happy with all that you've done. I wish you the best of luck with your future & all the best!

Thank you so much Nicole For making me look & feel fabulous & beautiful every single time, whether for my engagement session, my bridal preview or my wedding day! I am so glad that you can be a part of my special day. I would definitely recommend you to all my friends! Thank you so much!

I wanted to thank you so much for the amazing job you did for me & my friends & family on the wedding day. Everyone looked gorgeous & LOVED their hair & make-up! I can't thank you enough! You are truly an artist!

I feel so lucky to have found you! Thank you so much for everything- from the engagement session to my trial to my bang trims, you have been so much fun to be around and get to know. You did a FABULOUS job with my hair and makeup. I loved, loved, loved it!!! My curls were perfect and my makeup stayed on so well. I am so happy I got the chance to work with you. THANK YOU so much for being part of my day

Thank you for adding so much beauty to our special day! Your amazing talent made me truly feel like a princess for the evening- I’ve never felt so glamorous!
My mom & cousin had such a great experience with you as well.

Thank again for everything, everyone was complimenting all of us on how beautiful we all looked and kyle was pretty speechless as well! :)
We had just an amazing, beautiful day & Thank you for your enormous contribution in making it so perfect. :)

Nicole is awesome! I have used her for my hair and makeup for my wedding day and my engagement photos. She is super talented at what she does. I will never use anyone else!

I LOVE Nicole and she is the first hair and makeup artist that I recommend to all of my brides, and they all usually end up booking her if they are lucky enough for her to be available on their date! She is professional, sweet and stylish. She is great at making you look like the best version of yourself, keeping things natural while making you feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. She is amazing and I wholly recommend her services.

Nicole DeAnne is my TOP recommendation for hair & makeup styling!
