Nicole's Story

Essentials by Nicole was born out of a passion for creating beauty that is natural and effortless. In an industry where beauty trends can sometimes feel overdone, I wanted to provide results-driven treatments for women always wanting to look and feel their best - making everyday makeup optional.

Getting personal

After graduating from Westfield State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management and Economics, I went to Esthetics School with my best friend and this led me to discover my passion for permanent makeup.

As a woman, I know it's hard to put yourself out there when you don' feel confident in your skin.

As a beauty professional, I help shift your relationship with makeup by providing solutions for your individual concerns. So when you face the world, you feel your most confident and radiate that energy into everything you set your mind to.

Let's get deep

What is your favorite esthetic and permanent makeup service?

This is hard to choose. Any service that makes the most impact to a person's face. One client may only need a brow tint and wax to make a strong impact, while another may have a great impact with lip blushing. It really depends.

For myself, it is easy. Lash lift and tints and lip blushing.

What made you become a permanent makeup artist?

I graduated from Westfield State University double majoring in Business Management and Economics and didn't know what I wanted to do. I then went to Monarch School of Esthetics and graduated still not knowing what I wanted to do.

But, my friend had her eyebrows tattooed and the rest is history. I was able to fuse my love of skincare and results-driven beauty treatments through permanent makeup.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?

Working with so many women has shown me that although we may be different, many of us have the same hopes, fears and dreams.

Many of the women that come in for permanent makeup or esthetic services have finally invested in something for themselves. My goal is to make every woman leave happier and feel more confident than they did coming in.

That is my superpower and I have it.
