She’s done my hair and makeup for various events and red carpets including the Grammys. She is knowledgeable, professional, passionate and TALENTED. Will have to hire her for my wedding.
Evoni Nichole
She is my family and my friend. I’ve split meals and scrapped change to feed us. We’ve laughed with nothing more than each other’s company. We’ve shared tears and laughed so hard we cried! She gave me courage and love. She always smiled through her pain and her smile lights a room. She is growing and to see her change and bloom is truly beautiful. She is magic and I’m so proud of her! My little Disney dreamer, reach for the stars Princess!

I have been on two projects utilizing Nichole Ray’s talents and she was exceptional on both, handling numerous women for makeup and hair and turning out every one quick and fabulous. I have been on MANY other projects and seen the difference that highlights how great Nichole is.

Nichole and I met through Facebook, she was someone I originally contracted for makeup for a shoot I was doing but the shoot cancelled before I could book her. I kept her in mind for my hair as I saw she did coloring as well. We met for a consult and discussed everything I was hoping for with my hair. I had light orange roots from a bad dye job previously. She talked me through everything she was going to do and we set a date. On the day of she explained again everything she was going to do and the results were incredible. No orange left over in my now ombre to blonde hair. I loved her blow dry job as well. I’ll always choose her over anyone when it comes to hair care. Thanks girl!

Richelle Halberstadt
Nichole is a longtime friend so having her a part of my wedding day was special. She did both my makeup & hair. Nichole did trials with me until my vision came to life! Her attention to detail and knowing what I wanted made the process so fun, quick, and easy, in two trials we had it! She is great energy, punctual, sanitary, professional, and does all she does from a place of love! I was SO happy with my makeup!! & she completed me early which was so nice it added to the calm stress free morning of the wedding day. Also, my makeup lasted till the next morning like it wasn’t even touched! Thank you, Nichole! You’re an incredible artist!! I’ll love my pictures forever because of my flawless makeup!

She worked on my make up for my wedding along with my daughters and was there with us and kept us completely ready for the big day. She’s so compassionate and friendly and made the environment amazing I can’t stop raving about how amazing she’s at what she does! Thank you Nicole for going above and beyond for your clients!! I will continue have you doing my make up and my daughters for special occasions
Sterling Baldwin
Best in the business! Made me look like Idris Elba, & i hate the thought of wearing makeup. She made me feel comfortable in a very uncomfortable situation for me but necessary as an music artist. When it comes to recommendations, Nichole Ray would be the 1st name on my list for any hair & makeup needs
Busi Yende
Nichole is an extremely talented make-up artist! She truly puts her heart into her work. Whenever she does my make-up I feel like a straight up celebrity, it’s both her skill and presence that do that. Feel assured that you will be working with someone who knows what she is doing, has experience and knowledge and on top of that a wonderful spirit that will make your day!
