I hired Nika Vaughan Bridal Artists for my wedding for me and my 3 bridesmaids and was so satisfied with the work. Pricey, sure, but even at the trials, I was blown away with the quality of makeup that they used and how great we all looked. My bridal party went out and bought a lot of the make up that they used on us - THAT is how much they liked their products.We had Jen as our hair artist and Leanna as our makeup artist and their professionalism and overall great vibes were exactly what I was looking for on my wedding day. They had us laughing, were super kind to everyone who came in, and also were so diligent in knowing exactly what they needed to set up their little glam studio in our hotel room.Highly recommend using them for your wedding day - weve received a small portion of our photos and we look flawless. There are even pictures of me out at 3am after dancing and bar hopping - and there is not a blemish in sight. Hire them.

Christina (makeup artist) and Crystal (hair stylist) from Nika Vaughan completed my bridal look for my wedding day and also completed hair and make up for my mother and sister. Both are so prompt with time, professional, and truly kind / flexible individuals. They are great at reading people and understanding what you really want your look to be even if you aren’t the best at articulating it! My mother, sister, and I enjoyed spending time with them for our wedding day and all loved the finished outcome! Thank you!!

Nika Vaughan set me up with Jen Kaye who did listened to what I wanted and perfectly executed it. My hair and makeup were absolutely beautiful. It was also a total pleasure to spend time with her, as you end up hanging out quite a bit doing all the services. I would highly recommend using Nika.

I used Nika Vaughan Bridal Artists for my wedding and the experience was great. I had three bridesmaids with different complexions and very different hairstyles and they were able to make all of them look gorgeous and keep them looking similar without having exactly the same hairstyle without me having to give detailed instructions. I was also very happy with my hair and makeup that looked gorgeous and stayed on throughout the night. The team was also very responsive and very accommodating of changes -- particularly important as my wedding was delayed by COVID. I would recommend this team to anyone getting married.

Nika Vaughan was a great choice for my wedding make-up! They were able to execute a natural and elegant look for myself and bridesmaids. I wasnt able to do a trial before my wedding due to covid and the team was still able to execute flawlessly on the day of. Highly recommend!

Jen was amazing and love the job she did. Might be a bit more expensive than usual but totally worth it.

I had Nika Vaughan artists do my hair and makeup for my wedding last weekend. I had my hair and makeup trial 1.5 years prior to the wedding (it was postponed due to COVID) and was worried that my hair and style had changed significantly in the past 1.5 years.Francely did my makeup and it was incredible. Not only did she remember exactly what she had done for me during my trial, she also remembered what details I wanted changed. The makeup looked fantastic and did not budge even with the crying and dancing.Sam did my and a few other girls hair and did such a great job. Same as Francely, she remembered exactly how she did my hair during the trial and reproduced it flawlessly. She knew how to help pin my dupatta (Indian veil) and even taught my sister how to remove it carefully during my outfit change as to not disrupt my updo. The updo she gave me stayed flawless the entire night through all the dancing.Christina did the makeup for a few other girls. I had never met her prior to my wedding day, but she did such an incredible job and all the other girls were thrilled with their makeup.I am very satisfied with Nika Vaughan services. They allowed me to postpone my contract without hesitation or difficulties during COVID. Their artists were professional and very talented.

My experience working with Nika Vaughan Bridal Artists was overall very good! I loved the artists that I worked with (Dani, Christina, and Nora). They were so easy to work with and did an amazing job making everyones vision for hair and makeup come to life. Ive never felt more beautiful! They all arrived early the day of the wedding and were very professional.My issues stem from the lack of flexibility in the contract and the difficulty I had contacting the company during covid. When some of my bridesmaids were no longer able to come because of travel restrictions, I was not able to be refunded for their services, even though I knew at least a month in advance. Instead of a partial refund, a third artist was added to the contract to shorten the appointment time, which ended up working out in the end, but the lack of flexibility during an already stressful time was a little frustrating. Also, the responsiveness May-August was lacking quite a bit. My emails would go unanswered for a week or more, and the window of time that they were available was very small. Again, wedding planning during covid was already stressful enough, so the lack of a timely response only added to that stress.Despite the two issues I had, I would still recommend Nika Vaughan Bridal Artists because they do AMAZING work, and I loved working with all of the artists. I seriously felt like a princess, which is what every bride wants on her wedding day!

The Nika Vaughan Bridal Artists company was great to work with! I used their wedding makeup services for myself and my 3 bridesmaids for my recent wedding and we all LOVED the makeup. The makeup was very natural and lasted the entire night with little to no touch ups. My makeup artist, Kristina, was very professional and on-time. Molly, the office coordinator, was great at communicating with my planner through email and was flexible with working with my day-of timeline. As the bride, they also gifted me a small makeup emergency kit which I thought was very thoughtful. Overall great.

I cannot recommend this team highly enough - every single person I met and interacted with was not only very professional and skilled - but so friendly and easy to work with. Ive definitely had experiences in the past with hair and makeup artists for other weddings Ive been in to where I feel like they werent actually individualizing what they were doing - absolutely not the case with Nika Vaughan Bridal Artists. Samantha (hair) and Jen (makeup) were so amazing! I have honestly never felt more beautiful in my life - they are so, so talented and so much fun. Alex also helped with doing hair + makeup for my bridal party, and was also so great. Everyone looked incredible and most importantly, loved how they looked. 5+ stars across the board!

I dont know what Im doing in terms of hair or makeup, so Alex and Jen Kaye stepped up and helped me figure out exactly what I wanted for my big day. They also worked seamlessly to help set up the room so they could work efficiently, and in addition, were able to provide services for 7 other women in addition to myself. They were fun to hang out with but also extremely professional. Molly, the office manager, helped organize a schedule so everyone was able to get everything done in a short time frame. Im extremely happy I chose them to work with on the big day and highly recommend them for anyone else looking for bridal hair and make-up. All eight of us looked beautiful the day of, and its all due to them :).

They were professional and did a great job with me and my female family and bridesmaids. We reserved a separate room in our hotel where they were all set up ready to go when we arrived in the morning. They took input and made any changes that we requested. I especially loved my makeup. Thank you!

HUGE kudos to our makeup artist Jen! She did such an amazing job on my makeup, the bride’s makeup, and the maid of honor’s hair and makeup. In addition to doing beautiful work, she was easygoing, fun to chat with, and made everyone comfortable. Thank you so much, Jen!!

For my wedding day, I had Christina do makeup and Julia do hair for myself and for my bridal party. They were absolutely amazing! They traveled to be onsite with us and were so relaxed but also made sure to keep us on schedule. They were so much fun to be around and made our morning of getting ready great.I had changed my mind last minute for my hair style. I went from wanting an up-do to wanting to wear it down with curls. Julia didnt even bat an eye, she was so accommodating to my request even though it was not expected. I cant thank her enough!I showed Christina a picture of what I was wanting for my makeup style and it was turned perfect! Each person in the bridal party had a different style and she was able to accommodate everyone, and everyone looked so beautiful.Both were amazing to work with and I would highly recommend booking them for any event you have!

Saw Kary for a 3 hour one-on-one makeup session. I have limited experience with makeup and she was extremely patient in sharing her makeup techniques and tips. Professional, friendly and kind, Kary was a joy to work with!

I was so thrilled with my bridal hair and makeup for my wedding day!! Jen did my makeup and it was absolutely perfect. I have oily skin and was worried I would become oily through the day like I always have in the past even with professional makeup. My makeup was still flawless at 10pm... I didnt even end up touching up! Thank you!!

For my wedding in May, my hair was done by Xochilt and makeup by Elianna...both were wonderful. The company was flexible, worked in my budget and was very professional. Both artists were sweet, accommodating and on time. I was overwhelmingly happy with all the services for me and my bridal party.
