Styling By Nikoma

Nikoma is an exceptionally talented make up artist. I have had my make up done many times and she is by far the best, the most visionary make up artist I have had. She also happens to have a great personality which is a bonus. Her work is without a doubt amazing. She has an eye for beauty and she doesn’t fail to showcase it.

I have hired Nikoma for many a photo shoot and she is always on time, energetic and positive. Models and other talent love her personality and her skills.

I worked with Nikoma on my boudoir shoot. She did an amazing make up and hair. It was even better what I expected to be. She is a very nice person to work with, very personable and makes you feel beautiful. The pictures from my shoot were amazing and in the future I would not use anybody else, but her.

Ahhhhh-​mazing. Nikoma did my hair and makeup for a photo shoot and she was able to take my disjointed garbling about what I wanted and make me look beautiful. Beyond her fantastic talent, she’s just a cool chick and the hour and half flew by! I’m definitely booking her for my next big event. I highly recommend you do the same.

Nikoma came all the way to Vashon Island for my boudoir shoot with Dana Kae, really really early in the morning when it was still dark and a big storm had just knocked out all the power to the island. We sat in the dark for the first thirty minutes or so, just chatting because we couldn’t do makeup in the pitch black or curl my hair without electricity. I’m kind of a shy person, but Nikoma is so friendly and easygoing that I felt relaxed in her presence.
When the power came back on, she did lovely things with my hair and makeup. She was very receptive to feedback and happy to make any changes I requested. She stayed for half my shoot in case I needed any touch-​ups or a different hairstyle, and she was a fabulous cheerleader throughout! Funny, smart, and charming, and very very good at her job. Book her!

Made me look and feel fabulous before my photo shoot. I really enjoyed working with her and I’m sure you will too. I have difficult to work with eyes (small almond) and hair (extremely thick) and I had complete confidence in her chair and just felt beautiful when we were done!

Nikoma is one of my favorite artists working at my Belle Boudoir Photography studio. I would give her 10 stars if I could! She is the most cheerful and friendly person you’ll ever meet and has an amazing skill at relaxing nervous clients. On top of that she is incredibly professional and always arrives on time. All of this is enough of a reason to hire her, but she’s also among the best makeup artists I’ve ever worked with (and I’ve worked with many). Her talent with eye makeup is bar none. I recommend her highly to everyone!

I first had Nikoma do my hair and makeup for an engagement photo shoot. After that she and her assistant did hair and makeup for several people for my wedding (me, my mother and several bridesmaids). I was very impressed each time I saw her work! She does an amazing job!
After returning from my honeymoon, I booked an appointment with her for a makeup lesson. It was so helpful, and SO FUN! Aside from being amazing at what she does, she’s got an A+ personality! She is accommodating, easy to get along with and very professional!

Nikoma and I have worked together back in 2003 – 2004 when I was in Photography school. Even with her busy schedule, she would make it and completed my photos with well skilled, flawless make-​up and hair. Just recently, we worked on a photo shoot with girls, age 6, with a color theme. Nikoma again blew my mind of all the great ideas. She stylized the photos, brought props to complete the outfits and did an AMAZING job with the make up and hair. She can work on many levels and always has such a great attitude and makes things happen.

Nikoma is amazing! I always love to see her work and she always makes me smile! I so enjoy working with her and can’t wait to collaborate on some shoots! Nikoma is a rock star and always creates beauty!

I have worked with Nikoma a number of times and cannot rate her high enough. She is a joy to work with and always produces the best quality of work. She is extremely talented and versatile (although I’ve worked with her on fashion shoots, she does weddings too!), so if you have the chance to work with her, consider yourself lucky! Can’t wait to work with her again. :)

I’ve worked with Nikoma professionally for the last 8 months. She is an incredible stylist and make up artist! I always feel absolutely gorgeous when I leave her chair and she has a unique combination of an easy going personality with a kind professionalism. I can not wait until I can hire Nikoma to be my full time makeup artist and stylist!

Nikoma is one of the most talented artists I know in the Pacific Northwest. She is bright, talented, professional, and makes you feel special. She did the makeup for one of my fashion shows and killed it. All the girls felt so beautiful. She even did my makeup and till this day no one has done that great of a job. I also had the pleasure of working side by side with Nikoma for Smashbox and again, she is truly a master of her craft. She evaluates each client carefully making sure they are pleased with everything. She is versatile and can do any kind of makeup from conceptual, special occasion/​bridal, editorial, commercial, you name it. I love working with Nikoma whether its learning from her as a colleague or as a client.

Where to even begin. I’ve had my make up done by Nikoma more times than I can count. I met her when she worked at MAC and she was so personable and knowledgeable about the makeup world. That first time was all it took. She is truly talented. Her eye for color and to make everything she puts on look amazing is true art. One thing that was always fun was letting her have free reign. I trusted her enough to make me look and feel gorgeous that I sat in her chair and would tell her to go for it! And each and every time she delivered. If you need someone who has a true passion for the makeup/​beauty industry. Stop looking, you have found her!

Nikoma is easily one of the most talented makeup artists in the Seattle area. I’ve worked with her professionally on several occasions now. I can tell you that she does quality hair and makeup, has a great personality, can pull together a look very quickly, and keeps clean brushes (super important to me). I would definitely recommend Nikoma for any project — personal or commercial.
