LOVELY WORDS

Nicola was a fantastic person to have for hair and make-up. She did hair for 7 people and make-up for 3 people (including myself) on my wedding day. By the end of the night, there wasn’t a single hair out of place and the make-up was still flawless. She listened to what I, and my bridesmaids, wanted and made us all feel beautiful.

Not only that but she is one of the friendliest people that I have ever met. Our group officially adopted her as an honorary bridesmaid! Thank you for everything Nicola, you made me incredibly beautiful on my wedding day. :-)

Nicola is truly the most talented makeup artist I have ever met twinned with her wonderful hair styling skills.
Nicola is a very responsive and kind lady, she was open to making recommendations as I wasn’t sure quite what would suit me for my wedding reception makeup and hair.
We spent time experimenting in my trial with different looks and she made me feel beautiful.
Nicola went above and beyond to achieve the perfect look and honestly I was astounded by the end result!
I never knew I could look as amazing as I did.
It’s safe to say my friends and family also agreed and I really did shine like a diamond
I would happily recommend anyone to Nicola who is in need of a makeup or hair superstar!
Also on a side note Nicola saved me really! My makeup artist I had booked let me down 2 weeks before my wedding reception was booked and I was devastated, I looked through Nicolas work and put an email together thinking it was far too short notice... Nicola managed to fit me in bless her soul and I spent my wedding reception looking for wonderful than I could have ever imagined
Thank you Nicola

Absolute 5 star service from Nicola Honey. She made us feel comfortable from start to finish and really went above and beyond to ensure our mornings ran smoothly and to make sure we both looked amazing. My wife doesn’t usually wear make up and Nicola Honey made sure that she felt comfortable wearing it on our wedding day. She made me feel and look like a queen. I genuinely cannot recommend her highly enough. Thanks Nicola Honey - you (and your name) were AMAZING! Xx

Nicola recently did my wedding makeup and hair and my bridesmaids makeup. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. She really understood what I wanted and did an amazing job with my hair and makeup. She was so friendly and really helped me feel more relaxed on the morning of the wedding. She did a great job with the bridesmaids hair too and it definitely stood the test of time and lasted the full day and night. 100% reccomend to anyone thinking of booking!

As soon as I met Nicola at a Wedding Fair I knew she was the one to do my make up & Hair for my wedding. She understood exactly what I visioned for the Bridal party and listened (rare in the wedding industry lol). She keeps in touch through the run up to the big day, for timings on the day, arranging a trial for Brides Hair and Make up and turns up well on time to get ready on the morning (essential). Nicola settled my nerves (& slight hangover) with her laid back calm attitude which is exactly what I needed. All timings were bang on time for all 5 bridesmaids, Mother of the Bride & Me (Bride) to get on our way. Nicola was so helpful whilst getting dressed, putting my veil on my hair and making sure I looked the part, she was wonderful to have around and apart of the morning.
All makeup used was top quality and knew exactly how to get the hairstyles I wanted perfect on the day. Endless compliments were given to me and my bridal party throughout the day, now looking at photos loved my makeup and hair so much and wouldn’t change a thing. Your a fantastic Hair & Make up artist & to have the personality to match 👌🏻 perfect! Lots of love to you xxx

I can’t recommend Nicky highly enough. She spent time listening to what I wanted in terms of hair and make up and she really went the extra mile to make it happen. Nicky is highly skilled and created exactly what I wanted. She was amazing on the day, confirming before and arriving early - so no stress! She did hair for each of my bridesmaids and they loved what she did. Nicky is absolutely brilliant!

Thanks again Nicky, you were brilliant!

I booked Nicky to make me, my sister and my mum look the bee’s knees for my wedding last weekend. I also booked a trial the month before, which I would definitely recommend. Even though I decided last-minute to have a different hair style to what we’d discussed, it wasn’t an issue; Nicky just made it happen.

My mum and sister were happy with their hair and makeup, and I received endless compliments on how I looked. My makeup even survived me bawling my way through the ceremony, which is quite something considering how tearful I was!

Nicky is a wonderful artist; she listened carefully to what we wanted, and is fun and easygoing to chat to. I’d highly recommend her to anyone getting hitched.

What can i say that hasn’t already been said in other reviews, Nicola from the make up trial to the actual day was truly amazing, friendly and professional
On the day of the wedding Nicola arrived early which put me at ease. She went above and beyond to ensure that myself and my Bridesmaids hair and makeup was perfect.
I can’t thank Nicola enough for making me feel so wonderful and beautiful on my wedding day.
I would definitely recommend and would use her services again in the future.

Nicola you are a wonderful talented lady x

MY STORY

ME.png

MY NAME IS NICOLA

Welcome to Nicola Honey Artistry, thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I would like to share a bit about my interests and experience to help you decide if I am the right person to be part of your special day!

I am naturally an artistic person and realised at a very young age that I felt completely happy and content whilst drawing and painting.  I love to start with a blank page and watch it grow into something beautiful that I am really proud of. 

In my teenage years I took a performing arts class and part of the course was theatrical makeup. I quickly concluded that I had a passion for makeup application and thoroughly enjoyed creating beautiful makeup looks.  I knew that if I could have a career using brushes and being creative then that was the job for me! 

What I really love about make up is how it can change how you feel about yourself, how it can empower you and improve your self confidence. I absolutely love that I can make someone feel beautiful and confident just by doing what I love to do!!
