Nicole is awesome. She was very fun, professional, and talented. She was timely, listened to the 'wants' and created exactly what the girls envisioned. Our trial made the wedding day a breeze. I highly recommend her.

After a bad experience with my first trial run with another hairdresser, I was nervous about finding someone to do my hair for my wedding, but WOW! Nicole far exceeded any of my expectations. She did not only my hair and makeup, but my mom’s, my mother in laws and 2 bridemaids too!! We all looked AMAZING!! She was able create the half up/ half down do I wanted and it stayed PERFECT all night.
In 4 hours she pulled off curling 3 full heads of hair (including mine that is almost ½ down my back), a gorgeous up-dos and a beautiful curly side pony in addition to our makeup! She even suggested some false eyelashes and WOW did they made my eyes pop! They make my close up wedding photos look AMAZING! My photographer must have thought so too since he’s now using about 8 of my wedding photographs on his website!
She was on time (which is great for me and my “type A” personality) and she is extremely creative and listens. She even had me take pictures of my hair in time intervals (after 2 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours) after my consultation, so she could see how my hair hold curls just to ensure that my hair would last through the entire event!
I would definitely recommend Nicole to any bride to be!

Nicole and Happily Forever After met my wedding needs on so many levels!
Nicole did my hair and make-up for my engagements pics. The engagement pics turned out to be stunning!
Wedding Day:
First of all, she arrived on location early (before 9 am) that is an hour and a half from Charlotte. Since I had a large wedding party (6 bridesmaid, 4 flower girls, 2 mothers, 2 grandmothers, and an attendant), she brought her sister along for help. They definitely have a system of getting everyone ready in time. All of my girls could not believe the beautiful look that Nicole and Brooke gave them. The bridesmaids’ and mothers’ comments included from a) my eye makeup was awesome and loved the colors she used; b) wish she could do my makeup everyday; c) what kind of make-up did she use because it lasted all day; d) just loved my hair style with curls and volume; and e) my hair as never looked so perfect and it stayed in place all day - just to state a few. Another point worth mentioning is I had 4 little flower girls. Nicole and Brooke did great with keeping them entertained while doing their hair and makeup. I loved my wedding makeup by Nicole. She made me feel like a princess while using natural colors. The makeup application lasted all day! For brides-to-be, please note that my aunt did my hair for the wedding for sentimental reasons. Nicole would have definitely done my hair for the wedding if my aunt was not able to do it.
The price is very reasonable for the service received! They both have such great personalities and are easy to be around. It was definitely a pleasure to have them to be a part of my special day.

Nicole did an amazing job of making everyone look beautiful and natural while keeping everyone at ease. I did not want to look made-up, and Nicole was able to give me the makeup I needed to look beautiful in pictures without looking over-the-top. I was confident going into the wedding because our trial-run was so great. My bridesmaids and I got ready at the salon, which was great because there were enough mirrors for the girls doing their own hair or makeup. We all got to hang out together and laugh and enjoy the day! And Nicole is so reasonably priced and so easy-going. A perfect way to get ready for a perfect wedding!

I had a great experience with Nicole and Happily Forever After. Nicole is very accomadating! She was on time the day of my wedding which to a bride is very important : ) Nicole was also very helpful towards other members in my bridal party. My sister in law and mother in law were able to come in to test out makeup for the wedding day.
Nicole was also flexible with days and times for my trial run, she was always quick with responses which is another huge plus for a bride. The bridal discount was great too :)
Nicole and Happily Forever After gets 5 stars from me.. I loved my hair and makeup.

I hired Nicole to do my hair and make-up for my wedding. She did a wonderful job at creating exactly what I wanted even thought I didn't really know what I wanted. She was extra helpful at the end when she had some extra time and really put forth a lot of effort.

Nicole and Stewart were unbelievable! They are so personable and friendly, patient and honest. They truly want you to feel beautiful and will not stop until you're satisfied. Nicole even brought us snacks in case we were hungry. The whole experience was so comfortable, I felt like my friends were there pampering us. I HIGHLY recommend them to any bride.
