Nicole's Story
Essentials by Nicole was born out of a passion for creating beauty that feels natural and effortless. In an industry where beauty trends can sometimes feel overdone, I recognized a gap for those who wanted subtle, lasting enhancements without sacrificing their natural features. My mission was to offer a space where clients can trust that their natural beauty will be accentuated, not overshadowed.
At Essentials by Nicole, the customer is our number one priority. Every treatment plan is thoughtfully developed with long-term results in mind, ensuring that you leave feeling confident in a way that grows with you. Our beauty ideal isn't about heavy makeup or dramatic changes, but about refining and elevating the features you already have.
Our approach is simple: beauty should be easy, natural, and tailored to each individual. With that in mind, my goal is to provide services that help you feel like the best version of yourself every day.

Getting personal
As a licensed esthetician, permanent makeup artist, and true beauty enthusiast, I've had a lifelong passion for all things related to beauty and makeup.
After graduating from Westfield State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management and Economics, I was still exploring my career path. Life had other plans, and a journey to Esthetics School with my best friend led me to discover my passion for permanent makeup.
This experience opened doors to the world of permanent makeup, where I have learned from several esteemed permanent makeup educators.
In this journey, I have found my calling, fusing my love for beauty with precision. As a beauty professional, I aspire to enhance your natural beauty. I welcome you to Essentials by Nicole, where beauty is more than just skin deep.
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?
Long story short:
I graduated from Westfield State University double majoring in Business Management and Economics and didn't know what I wanted to do. I went to Monarch School of Esthetics and graduated still not knowing what I wanted to do.
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.
