Fresh Beauty Studio

Nikol is amazing. She showed up on time, nailed the looked I wanted and was really a calming force during some truly chaotic moments. She made my mom look the best I have ever seen her and I felt like a princess. I was glowing and my make up stayed on ALL night. I had zero oiliness, no shine and no re-touching (except lip gloss after I ate dinner). My false lashes are STILL on today after 4 days. My friends and family at the wedding kept raving about my make up and hair. I was 100% pleased. She was worth every penny. It took longer than I expected so I did feel a tad rushed but we had a floral crises happen in the middle of me getting my make up done, so it wasn’t 100% her fault that I felt rushed. Nikol rocks and I never felt so pretty in my whole life.

Words can't describe how thankful I am that I had Nikol with me on my wedding day to do my hair and make-up. She is such a great and fun person to be around and is the absolute best at what she does. Thanks to Nikol, I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life.... a feeling I won't soon forget! It was exactly the way I had hoped I would feel and look on my wedding day. Now I just can't wait for the next time I have an event that I need hair and make-up for. Without a doubt, I will be heading back to Fresh Beauty Studio to see Nikol!

I was extremely happy with my make-up and hair style. Nikol Johnson did an amazing job. She is very artistic and talented. I highly recommend her. Johanna LThe breakers 01/03/2009

I highly recommend Fresh Beauty Studio. They were so organized, professional and very talented. Fresh Beauty Studio was able to do a large number of people for my wedding with absolutely no problem. Everyones hair and make-up looked fabulous. It was truly a treat being pampered by Fresh Beauty Studio. Thank you for everything!

Fresh Beauty Studio was very accomodating with my schedule from the trial to the big event. I am so grateful to have had a team that worked so nicely with my entire wedding party. The artist bent over backwards to make this a day to remember for me. My bridesmaids looked flawless and I felt like a princess--pampered and special. I was impressed with the professionalism of the team, attention to detail and a willingness to meet every need. They went above and beyond of their job. I am very pleased to have

Nikol was recommended to me by my sister in law and she was absolutely FANTASTIC! She was punctual, professional, and incredibly pleasant! She did the makeup for my bridesmaids, my mom and for me and everyone looked stunning! She's a makeup artist and stylist for modeling and photo shoots and she is incredibly professional. And the makeup she used was amazing! She did the airbrush makeup and it stayed on allllll day. All of us loved it!! It looked so natural and smooth. I cried all day, and at the end of the night, you couldn't tell. It was perfect! I can't say enough good things about her and her service.

The best memory of my wedding! there is nothing more to write, they did their job at a super price and the pics looks amazing! they even prepared a small clip to show in the middle of the reception! A+ to recommend

Probably the best I have ever looked! Artists were on time, very keyed into the latest looks and techniques. Absolutely the best time getting ready ever! Thanks Fresh Beauty.

My makeup was flawless, my hair was a huge disappointment. Prompt and professional. Bridesmaids looked very nice.

Thank god for trials....this one was pretty much a disaster. Nikol had an assistant working on me who was very young and inexperienced. It wasn't that Nikol was unavailable, she was there checking her email and planning a vacation. The make-up was totally overdone. My hair was a disaster. They both agreed and couldn't even fix it for me to walk out looking decent. Then she tells me she has another wedding on my date and was planning to have this assistant do the whole thing. She charged me $150 for the trial even though nothing came out right and then to top it all off, I never heard from her again even though she promised me a proposal and contract the following week. I work in TV and hire make-up artists periodically for shoots and I have never had a bad experience. If the assistant was the problem here, I would expect a professional to attempt to right the situation. This experience was the only one in planning my wedding that made me feel I had been cheated out of money - but I'm so glad it was a trial and not the wedding day.

NEVER EVER book with Fresh Beauty Studio (Nikol Johnson) = filled with hot air. Short Version:She backed out of the contract. I was DOOPED last minute and she will obviously have no problem dropping you last minute before your wedding! No joke, 4 DAYS before my wedding she had to refund me my money because she wasn’t confidant with her hair-do skills! Longer Version: As a very excited bride I couldnt wait to have Nikol show me my bridal look! I booked her over the phone after a very lengthy and girly conversation. We hit it off, got along, we were on the same page, I of course, absolutely wanted to know about her experience and she expressed her level of skill and fashion-show background, and definitely assured me that she could get the job done. I had been planning my Palm Beach wedding for a year and had everything intact except for my look! I had very typical high standards as a bride to look the best I could on my special day and simply wanted to make sure she could transform me into a stunning tailored 'look' around my features: along with being reliable! Well, after our thorough chat, her confidence won me over and she was contracted to do my hair & makeup for my wedding. I was charged for my deposit and thrilled about all of it! Couldn't wait! 5 days before my actual wedding we finally performed both trials at her tiny studio:THE MAKE-UP: nothing "fresh" about it but nothing worth being disgusted about yet... I looked less than simple: kind of untouched but with eyebrows enhanced. I didn't look polished, I didn't have that 'twinkle' that all brides want and I didn't find her skill-set to be intuitive with customizing the look around my features. I am very light-skinned, dark hair, light eyes, etc, (ironically very similar to her colors and features). Although I wasn’t totally feeling it, I decided to let the artist do her thing and to wait for the final product to reveal itself... that means, with the hair done. THE HAIR: after an hour of messing with my hair and unable to perform an 'updo" (no joke, she would try to make every attempt to do my hair up but kept on having to undo whatever she started, and would begin again, over and over again, up and down, where an hour went by, nothing had been trial'd, I hadnt seen ONE OPTION and she was finally tired and wanted to go home.) SO, she said to me that she wanted to extend the trial to tomorrow, when she would be well-rested and have had some time to think about some ways to do my hair. (Just FYI, I have longish hair [to my chest] and stylists use my hair all the time to do expos...so I was shocked that she couldn't do anything with my hair.) MEANWHILE, I had a HUGE agenda for the week of my wedding and seriously had no room for error or add anymore plans to my schedule. But I was so disappointed that I didn’t get to see my look, and was obviously desperate and anguished for her to show me that she could get the job done with her "Fresh" solution that I was willing to compromise and shift commitments in order to get my hair and makeup finalized! So, per her advice, we planned on meeting first thing the next day (now 4 days before my wedding). Boy was I ready to cry. Low and behold, I wake up first thing to an email from Nikol breaking the commitment and refunding me my money! All because she actually couldnt come up with a solution and essentially, she underperformed & coulnt deliver! Total NIGHTMARE! THE AFTERMATH: because of NIKOL's unreliable performance & leaving me till the last minute to find the impossible, I got charged EXTRA for last minute RUSHED trials by other salons. Let alone I had to compromise family events to take the time out to find the hair and makeup solutions, as well as had to experience the only ANGER I never wanted to feel on the week of my wedding. CONCLUSION: You perfectly well know you want your vendors to be reliable + talented. FORGET IT with Fresh Beauty Studio. I encourage you to learn about your vendors through word of mouth or find hi hi ratings. Nikol was the only downfall to my wedding experience. Boo!
