Melbourne Hair & Makeup Artists

Hi Julie,

We received our photos earlier this week and it reminded me what an AMAZING job you did with our hair and make up!!!! 

Thank you SO much for your incredible handiwork once again, I absolutely loved my hair and make up - it was perfect!! You absolutely made me look my best!!

Thanks again,

Emma

Here is my glowing review…

Julie was a VERY last minute replacement after my original hair stylist fell ill (thank goodness I got married on a Friday in Winter, otherwise we would have been doing our hair ourselves!) – I was nervous – I had no idea of her skill set, but, wow, did we hit the JACKPOT! Julie was warm, confident and I instantly knew we were in the best hands! Her talent knows no bounds and her precise execution and years of experience are obvious in her polished work. Thank you Julie, I would recommend you to anyone!  Emily May

I felt amazing on my wedding day. The makeup felt so minimal and looked so natural that I didn’t feel as though I had a wall-paint on my face. The makeup lasted all night, I didn’t have to re-apply despite all the dancing I did. At the trial I trusted your 20+ years of expertise to create the look I wanted. And you did not disappoint. The top-quality, organic mineral makeup products, which were not tested on animals, you used worked perfectly. You managed to recreate the look I wanted for my hair from my description exactly how I imagined. Apart from the obvious experience in hair and makeup, you were just a lovely person to have around. You were very professional, arriving on time and having everyone done in the estimated time frame.

My bridesmaids loved your job too, saying they were amazed how I looked so natural yet glamorous. Some are already keeping you in mind for when they are planning their big day.

Thank you Nicole for helping me have an unforgettable wedding day! Kat ( Katia)

This is a sincere, honest thank you to Nicole for her amazing job on my wedding hair and make up. I tried a few artists but Nicole stood out because she knew how to work with both curly and straight hair and do flawless make up. After having about five trials with other artists, Nicole was the only one who used products that lasted on the face and didn't irritate my eyes which meant no need to touch up. She used mineral make up, which I have started using Weddings are stressful, and Nicole was calm, polite and attentive. She had the right energy and aura. When minor adjustments were needed, it was done with calmness, respect and a wonderful attitude. Thank you for being there. Yana

I would love every bride to know how wonderful you were! You were fantastic from the trial to the wedding day and answering all of my questions in between! I was extremely happy with my hair and makeup. So many people commented on my hair and makeup and how I looked really beautiful. I would highly, highly recommend your services to anyone who wanted to look at the absolute best and amaze everyone on their wedding day. Thank you so much again! Lauren Giles.

I just quickly wanted to say such a massive THANKS to you for making my bridesmaids and I look as beautiful as you did on our wedding day. We had so many comments on the hair and makeup and you are truly amazing at what you do. You took so much time and didn’t rush anyone to make sure each one of us looked as good as what we did and I appreciate that so much.  Carla

Hello Nicole, Just wanted to say a big thank you for my hair and make-up! It took Zak's breath away. Thanks again for being part of such a memorable day.

Nicole was fabulous. I booked her in for my wedding because I was looking for a makeup artist who specialised in natural and toxin-free products for sensitive skin. Her products are wonderful and lasted as well as any other mainstream make-up I have tried, without the irritation. She was also fabulous with our hair-do's and really listened to what we were after with our styles. Would definitely use her again!

Thank you Nicole for doing such a wonderful job of my hair and makeup, along with my two bridesmaids and my mum. We were all so happy with our individual styles and make-up to suit each of us, it was just perfect! I received so many comments on the day about how beautiful my hair and make-up looked, and even today I still receive comments from everyone who looks throughout photos. A brilliant job! And even in 36 degree heat, my make-up didn’t need any touching up and my hair remained absolutely perfect the whole day and night! I would recommend you to anyone looking for either a make-up artist or hair stylist (or both!!). Thank you again! Tracey.

I would like to thank you for the wonderful makeup you did for myself and my bridesmaids on Jan 6th. In particular, the hair style you did for me was a masterpiece and attracted compliments all day! It was wonderful to feel so glamorous! My husband thought it fantastic also!!!  Melinda  

Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job on my hair and make-up for my wedding. I was absolutely thrilled with the end result and you were right - my hair did not fall out of place once despite all of the dancing!! Plus, my make-up looked just as good at the end of the evening as it did at the beginning and I didn't have to touch it up once! I can't thank you enough for making me feel like such a princess on the best day of my life... i am still getting comments about the brilliant job you did on my hair! Thanks Nicole! -  Kerri

Kate Hair & Makeup by Nicole

Living interstate, I first came across Nicole’s website on the internet and was immediately taken by her strong portfolio of work – she was able to capture a special beauty and quality in all her clients in a sophisticated yet subtle way. During my one & only hair & makeup trial I knew right then and there that Nicole would definitely be a part of my special day – as an animal lover I was impressed with her “cruelty-free” products and the way she gave some great suggestions outside my original ideas ….the final results were truly stunning I could not have been happier!

Aside from the wedding mornings “beautifying”, Nicole and I had some great laughs and she helped put my mind at ease before the Big Day. – Kate Cadet

Nicole is a brilliant make-up artist and hair stylist. She has a vibrant and friendly personality and takes great pride in her work - the results are always stunning.

"Had hair and make up done by Nicole Groch, with Julie Dammery also doing doing some friends/family. Lovely natural look, didn't feel heavy and stayed put all day and night (a huge achievement as I have oily skin!). Loved it!"Yoko

Nicole’s worked for us , for not only my wedding but my sisters also, each time capturing the unique style and personality of the bride and the bridal party. Her creativity and professionalism was of the highest standard along with her ability to make everyone feel at ease, she was relaxed and became like part of the family.  Deb Parfitt

Thank you so much Nicole for the amazing job you did with my hair and make up for my wedding. I only needed 1 trial because you immediately knew how to bring my ideas to life and give me the exact look that I wanted.  You were a pleasure to deal with throughout the whole process and I especially love that your products are animal friendly!!! Cheers Julie

Nicole, I just wanted to say thank you so much for being such a special part of my big day. Its every girl's dream to look and feel beautiful on their wedding day and you truly made that happen for me, I still get comments to this day. I couldn't recommend you highly enough, thank you again.'

Hi Nicole, I just wanted to send you a quick note to say a big thank you for the hair and make up that you did for my wedding day. You really understood exactly what type of look I wanted for myself and my bridesmaids. The make up was so natural and beautiful and it lasted us the whole day and night. I loved my hair and was so happy that everything stayed in place even though it got a bit windy in the afternoon. We decided on a different hairstyle for the bridesmaids on the morning of the wedding and you made it look perfect even though they all had different hair lengths. . I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to any of my friends, I'm so happy with the job that you did. Thanks Marta

"I absolutely love what Nicole did with my hair and make-up.  After a brief chat she really seemed to know and understand the exact look I was hoping to achieve. My bridesmaids and I were wrapped with the final results.  Couldn't have been happier".  Skye  

Thank you for the incredible job you did on everyone's make up, we all received so many compliments on how natural and beautiful our makeup and hair looked. Despite the sweltering heat there was no need for any touch ups and both hair and makeup lasted all night. We had a ball getting ready with you in the morning, thank you for being so much fun on the day and making us all feel and look the best version of ourselves. 

I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job of my hair and makeup and that of my two bridesmaids on 2 August 2008. You are such a wonderful person- so warm and friendly and so incredibly professional. It was an absolute pleasure to have you there with us while we were getting ready for my wedding.

 I had so many comments on my hair and makeup- in particular my hair. In fact practically everyone I spoke to commented on how beautiful it was. It truly looked like a work of art! The makeup didn't wear off at all and my hair stayed in place for the entire day. Thank you for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! All the best for the future Nicole! I am already telling everyone how great you are. Regards,  Laura Simmons

I was really happy with my hair and makeup for my wedding day. It was just what I wanted and stayed in place all day. Nicole was lovely to deal with from the trial to the day, I couldn't have been happier! Zoe

Hi Nicole, 

It was a privilege to have you be a part of my wedding day. You have been cutting my hair since I was a kid and you always do such a great job. That's why when it came to picking someone to do my hair and make up I didn't even think twice before calling you. I had so much fun with you at my trial and on the morning of my wedding. Thanks for also making my Mum and bridesmaids look amazing! I was very happy with how natural my makeup looked and how it lasted throughout the day. Thank you again for the wonderful job you did!

"Prior to finding Nicole, I had gone through a number of hair and makeup trials without a satisfying result.  I found Nicole on the web and was impressed with her work.  She did a brilliant job with my hair, where other artists failed, and my makeup was light, natural and flawless.  She was able to enhance my own beauty but also create a look that still felt like me.  Thanks Nicole for helping create the perfect look I wanted" Belinda Wong

The day was amazing -. My hair and makeup were perfect and people commented on how lovely and natural the makeup was. So all in all I felt pretty special..... thanks again. Donna

Hi Nicole!! I hope you are well. I just wanted to send you an e-mail to thank you SO MUCH for the wonderful job you did on everyone's hair and makeup on our wedding day. In particular, I was so thrilled with how my hair looked, it was just PERFECT and exactly what I wanted, and having the 3 white roses placed perfectly in it made me feel very beautiful on my wedding day. I had so many comments from people about how fantastic my hair looked, so thank you so much for making my dreams come true on the day!!

Thank you so much for everything, you were wonderful to deal with from start to finish and I couldn't recommend you highly enough. Kind regards, Angela

Hi Nic, Hope you are well? I am finally getting around to thanking you properly for being so amazing on my wedding day! I understand mum contacted you? She was so thrilled with her make up as was I and all the other girls! Mine stayed on perfectly all day! I look forward to calling on your services again! Regards Laura

and... from her lovely mum Jan

Hi Nicole,  I suspect that in your busy lifestyle you won’t remember me but  I simply had to email and thank you for the amazing hair and make up that you did for my daughter Laura Sexton’s wedding. For the first time in my 63 years I felt absolutely amazing and all thanks to you!! My hair was exactly as I wanted it and the comments on my make up had me smiling from ear to ear all day! I have to admit that I left it all on that night and slept on my back since we had another wedding to attend the very next day!!  The only other make up session I have experienced left my eyes watering all day! Not so with your products. Thank you once again Nicole, we all had an amazing day. I hope your trip to the Yarra Valley went smoothly. Kindest regards Jan

I had several hair and makeup trials with Nicole to find the perfect look for my wedding day. We had a lot of fun experimenting different hair and makeup designs. It will all worth it in the end because she did such an amazing job on my wedding day. I received so many compliments about how beautiful I looked throughout the day. Nicole is very professional in her work and I highly recommend her to all brides-to-be who want to look stunning on their special day.- Cindy Tan

Dear Nicole,

Thank you for your time and effort in creating the perfect look for my wedding day. Thank you for allowing me to change my mind - the result was perfect and exactly what I was after. Best wishes, Jyoti

Dear Julie,

Thank you so much for doing a wonderful job with my hair and make-up. I absolutely loved it and a lot of friends and family watching on TV said my hair and make-up had never looked so good.

Thanks again and I'll see you soon.
