My Services and promise to you.

A one time booking fee of $40 will hold your date, book your date, and book your makeup trial to get the ball rolling in preparing for your big day! I will send you all of the Bridal packages and pricing once you write me! NicoleLiv3@aol.com
2. Flower girls are always complimentery! I love children and they love makeup! The look will be soft, a touch of pastel shadow on their little eyes. Shimmer on their arms, and pale pink lipgloss!
3. Lashes are a gift as well, and are included in all of the packages. Just write me for packages and pricing. www.nicoleliv3@aol.com If you are looking to give any of your bridesmaids something really special.. I have my very own Spa Skin-care and Body-care line, and I custom scent my spa products! The Sugar body scrub and moisturizer in one is the BEST SELLER and if you buy any Spa products and custom scent them for yourself or your girls, I will give you a bridal discount! Just check out my Skin-care Shop under the Welcome page, and my CUSTOM Scents page! I have 100+ scents. You can pre-order before your big day...
4. Each of you will receive a flawless look, that represents who you are, whether that be soft and classic, or pure elegance! I also include your neck, back, chest, and arms. Any skin that I can see, I will make sure it is perfect and nothing will rub off for the entire day! I have a silver glow product or gold shimmer that will make your skin glisten.
5. I will cover tattoos, this can be very time consuming, and will cost additional fees depending on the size of the tattoo and the time we need to cover it up. $10+
6. I will send you an email as soon as you contact me, with all of the details, pricing, payment, contract If requested and system for the day. Basically any question you may have will be answered. I will also have my contract attached in the Bridal Packet. Just write me and I will send it to you immediately. www.nicolepalermo.com
Once you book with me, and send me your booking fee I start to say no to other brides trying to book the same date..if for any reason you have to cancel your booking, I just keep the $40 fee. If you call me, and it is an unforseen situation, there are times I have reimbursed the fee. However, I turn so much business away when I book the date, so you really need to call me months in advance. For last minute cancellations, I do feel the small fee, at least pays for some of my time.. This is so rare, but just something to discuss.
7. I use MAC products, all waterproof products and setting products. MAC was designed for photography, it will last all day and all night. I can use anything you like, however MAC does get the best reviews from all of my brides. I also have my very own line of natural skincare products, called Porcelain Beauties, and I have my very own touch up line for makeup and Mineral powders too! Please check out my online Skin-care SHOP under the Welcome page.. My brides LOVE my products in preparing their skin for the big day!
8. I also teach makeup lessons as well, this is a great opportunity for you to learn how to do beautiful makeup in 10-15 min. for your morning look, and learn which products will add the touch of glamour for the evening! Lessons cost $100, and usually take about an 1 1/2 hours . I then write down all of your products with instruction, and send you to the MAC counter to shop!
9. My promise to you is simple, No matter what the event , I will devote my time and energy into it, communicate, and call you promptly when you need something. I will listen and also teach you the truth about makeup. Your vision will come true, and you will be 100% happy, and If you are happy and having fun, so am I!
10. When you come to my home for your trial here is what you can expect. FUN FUN FUN! My house is super girlie and my bridal studio, is a Spa retreat! You are more than welcome to bring one friend or your mom with you. I say one because the room is not big enough to fit too many people. This is the time when you can relax! I will look at your skin, and give you a skin-care facial massage, create a look that will wow you, and suggest the touch up products and skin-care you should get for your big day. Beautiful Skin=Beautiful makeup, and sometimes you may need just a bit of exfoliation or hydration to get your skin ready and primed!
11. After your trial, I let you take ALL of your touchup products and Skin-care/Body-care with you! At that time you do not have to pay..I just send you an invoice before your big day, and then you pay after I do everyone's makeup. I want you to enjoy yourself at your trial and just relax! We have the best time ever!
12. What you will need to bring! JUST your pretty face..and you can bring pictures of makeup that you love! I will do everything else, and with 23 years experience you are in the best hands!
13. If you are looking to wow your fiance' and have him blushing for the first year of your marriage. I also run a full-time Wedding Bridal Boudoir business! www.boudoirphotographysite.com I hire the team for photography, I work with my partner Jill Gately and she is amazingly talented and one of the best photographers and a dear friend of mine, I also work many others..such as Evan Bishop, Borrowed Blue Photography and Maria Linz. Such great talents! That day I do the set design, makeup, lash application, wardrobe styling, hair touch ups and posing guidance.
