I had my hair and makeup done by Nikki, and she was fantastic from enquiry, through to trial and then finally for my big day! Incredibly professional, and always helped to ease any concerns that I had. I would highly recommend Nikki Mullard Makeup and hair!

I can't choose where to start from all the good points about Nikki! Having my make up done as bridesmaid yesterday Nikki could not have been more attentive, understanding and professional. I had never had my make up professionally done before but Nikki went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. Her work made me feel so confident all day, she chose colours that perfectly suited me and did my hair so well it's still perfect now after nearly 24 hours! Cannot recommend you enough Nikki! Thank you!
