Hi, I’m Nicola…

Originally I trained as a beauty therapist, working for a year before deciding make-up was my main interest. In 1997 I started working for MAC Cosmetics in Glasgow, training with great make-up artists who have gone on to become creative directors of MAC. I moved down to London with MAC where I gained invaluable experince in high fashion and high quality make up, then moving back to Edinburgh, once again working for MAC. Over the years, working for such an important company in the make up industry, I have picked up priceless training and experience. Along the way I have been involved in various different projects, hair shows, magazine shoots, music videos, tv programmes, and catwalk shows and pride myself on being able to adapt my skills to any situation.In 2007 I started my freelance make up business, which has grown fast and seen me extremely busy throughout the years with weddings! 2008 saw me expand my skills to hair where I trained at the London Academy of Freelance Make Up, here I trained in Bridal, Fashion and Period Hair Styling.

In 2013 I decided to move into another passion of mine.. eyebrows! Little did I know it would become so big. I started my journey with HD BROWS and loved having an add on service that gave me regular clients I could see every 4 or 5 weeks. This way I was able to sort out brides eyebrows for the big day well in advance. I was happy doing this for a long time, but kept getting asked for recommendations for eyebrow tattooing. I couldn’t see anyone’s style that I really loved, so when people kept suggesting I do it, I finally listened and in 2018 I started my journey in SEMI PERMANENT MAKE UP. This has fast become a passion of mine. Being able to create and give clients the ideal brow I always want to achieve with HD BROWS. I have spent the last years going back and forth to Edinburgh to train with one of the best semi permanent trainers in Scotland. My training with all my skills never stops and I will always be learning and developing new skills on top of existing ones. One thing about me… I am a perfectionist! I will not finish until I’ve done the best job possible. I always like to ask myself if I would be happy with service I have given. Your happiness and satisfaction is as important to me as mine.
