The Beauty Bar And Lounge

guidance. I read every review and made my decisions after speaking with owners and vendors. Also doing trials as well as my final decision factor. I wanted to pass on anything I can to the next bride trying to make sure her day is as perfect as she imagined. So here's my review, and if you read this I write this with the upmost respect and honesty. Nicole Patrick is an amazing person inside and out. She answered all of my questions. Put all my concerns and frustrations at ease. The makeup trial was fantastic and we had so much fun. She also reccomended other people to help me as well that I was looking for when she didn't have to. (spray tan, and hair stylist) Which all turned out to be great. Nicole is very respectful, and a pleasure to work with. So much so that I was sad when my wedding was over but she shocked me again when we continued to have a relationship and she is helping me now with my makeup for the everyday look. She created a website for me to go on and purchase all the exact makeup she used on me at my wedding, 3 days after asking. She listens during everything and if there is anything you want to change about your makeup she is willing to change it right away no questions asked. She has helped me so much with a skin care regiment as well and my skin is the best its ever been. Ladies if you are looking for someone to help you, make sure your day goes as planned, very talented in what she does, professional, reliable, and will give you the stress free experience on your special day Nicole Patrick is the women to call. I owe her so much for helping me become better with my self care and make me feel like my wedding day is everyday from here on out. Friends for life, and it is truly my pleasure to have shared my special day with her. If you choose her you will not regret it. I hope this helps, congratulations to all the future and new brides!!! -Sierra M

That is what she delivered and more! Nicole’s communication throughout the entire process was prompt, clear, and genuinely caring. When other vendors were slow with schedules or responses, Nicole was always there reassuring me and even offering to reach out on my behalf. Her pricing is exceptionally fair, and her contract is clear and easy to understand. She is an experienced bridal makeup artist in every sense of the word — she is incredibly down to earth and delivers an incredibly luxe experience.  Living in North Jersey, I can confidently say the two-hour drive for my makeup trial was worth it a thousand times over. From the moment I left, I had complete peace of mind knowing I had booked the right artist. Nicole is a true professional — she asked thorough questions about my skin, my daily makeup, my dress, the season, indoor vs. outdoors, etc. She honestly helped me make decisions about parts of my wedding I didn’t even realize I needed to think through. Her experience with bridal services is unparalleled.  At the trial we did two different looks and quickly found the perfect direction. There is absolutely no ego in Nicole’s work — she welcomes questions, explains what she’s using, and encourages you to speak up if you want to try something different. She even showed me how everything photographed, using lighting to mimic daylight and flash, which was such a game changer. I really felt like “Ohhhh… now I get it.” My only regret from the trial was that I had nowhere to go afterward!!!  In terms of the wedding day — I’ll admit, I had some (in hindsight, very unnecessary) worries about my bridal party. My mom had never had her makeup done professionally and was nervous about looking too “done.” My sister and sister-in-law wear very minimal makeup and originally weren’t even planning on having theirs done. My MOH, thankfully, was game for anything.  When I say Nicole is changing lives, I am not exaggerating. My sister, who had never worn eyeliner let alone lashes before, agreed to try them — they looked so natural and beautiful that my mom asked if she could have “another coat of mascara or something”… only to realize my sister was wearing lashes. Cut to my mom immediately asking for lashes too! My SIL, who was concerned about eyeshadow on her hooded eyes, was blown away by how bright, lifted, and stunning her eyes looked. As the bride, watching my closest family truly enjoy themselves — taking selfies, staring in the mirror, feeling confident and special was one of the sweetest, most unexpected gifts of the day. They are always beautiful, but seeing them feel extra special meant everything to me. Nicole absolutely transformed everyone in the best way.  I cannot recommend Nicole enough. She has the talent, the technical knowledge, and the most likable, and relaxed presence. There is something truly special about her — not only is she beautiful inside and out herself, she made me feel so beautiful and she created such beautiful moments for my closest family that I will forever cherish. 

e is also very clean and thoroughly sanitizes everything and makes you feel very comfortable! Definitely would recommend the beauty bar and lounge for any occasion!
