An amazing artist and stylist!

Nora is an absolute gem and a true artist when it comes to makeup and hair styling. I had the pleasure of having her as my makeup and hair stylist on my wedding day, and I couldn’t have been happier with the results.

From the moment I met Nora for a trial, I knew I was in expert hands. She took the time to understand my vision and made thoughtful suggestions to enhance it. On the big day, she transformed me into the most beautiful version of myself. I felt like a queen!

Nora’s attention to detail is unmatched. She worked tirelessly to ensure every strand of hair and every brush of makeup was perfect. Not only did she make me look stunning, but she was so wonderful to get to know.

I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup, and I owe it all to Nora. She is not only incredibly talented but also a joy to be around. She made me feel like I was getting ready with a close friend.

I can’t recommend Nora enough to any bride-to-be. If you want to feel and look your best on your special day, Nora is the one to trust. Thank you, Nora, for making me feel like a princess on my wedding day! You’re a true artist and a wonderful person.

Nora was wonderful and everyone looked beautiful

Nora was so easy to work with and very flexible. She and her team did a beautiful job with everyone's hair and makeup, arrived early and were a lot of fun the morning of the wedding. She was easily able to make small changes from my trial (which she travelled all the way to me for) and the final look was better than I could have imagined. Everyone was happy with their final looks and the makeup in particular did a great job with lasting in the heat all day as did my hair which was an updo. I would highly recommend Nora!
