Jenna
"Hiring and working with Nicole and her team at Samara Beauty was one of the best decisions I made for our 60-person rehearsal dinner and wedding in Santa Barbara, CA. From the very first emails and trial to the final moments of touch ups, Nicole and her team were A+."

"Hiring Nicole and her team was arguably the best decision I made for my wedding weekend. Nicole managed the hair and makeup for three full days of events, not just for me, but also for my nine bridesmaids. The coordination and execution were flawless."
Allie Mae
"I cannot recommend Nicole and her team enough! They were everything I could have hoped for on my wedding day. Their communication was exceptional and prompt, between booking and day-before details. They arrived on time and blended seamlessly into our morning with amazing energy that made me as a bride feel calm and confident."
Meredith
"Hands down the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life. I'm probably a tricky customer because I love feeling good but I only wear makeup once or twice a week and very little. I wanted to look done up but still feel myself. The trial was absolutely stunning and I was sold. I felt so confident and comfortable and I could not have been happier with the way it looked in person and in photos. Can't recommend enough!"

"The elevated natural glam style she is known for translated beautifully for South Asian bridal looks. I wanted a bolder look than her typical Instagram clientele to complement heavy Indian jewelry and clothing, and she executed it perfectly — striking without feeling overdone. Nicole is also extremely talented with hair. I requested a modern Indian braid accented with hair jewelry and jasmine, and she brought it to life flawlessly."
