Hi! My name is Nicole Jarzobski. It’s so nice to meet you! I’m a traveling makeup artist in Gretna, Nebraska, specializing in bridal and special event makeup. I have been in the beauty industry for over 8 years, and have been doing bridal makeup for 5 years. It is my passion to make everyone feel beautiful and confident!

“Nicole and I have been friends for over a decade. I've been supporting her from the beginning, following along every step of the way throughout her makeup journey and I can't even begin to tell you how many times she has left me speechless with her abilities. I wouldn't be here leaving this review if it wasn't well deserved, friend or not. If I had it my way, Nicole would be my personal MUA for the rest of my life. Every major life event that I have and need photos for, I'm only trusting Nicole with my face. Unfortunately for her, I hate doing my makeup and she's the sweetest friend ever and always touches me up on nights out together too :) She's a great person to work with because she puts her heart and soul into it. Most of the time I have no idea what I want and she comes up with something in a blink of an eye. Like a wizard. She has the vision for this and she's going a long way in this industry. Don't forget about me when you're famous Nicole!”

Hi, I’m Stacia I’ve been styling brides hair in Iowa since 2010 while I was still in school. I spent hours perfecting the bride’s look, and as I watched everything come together, I realized how much I loved the energy of weddings. The way hair can transform a person and complete their entire bridal look—there was something magical about it. Hair comes in all shapes, sizes, and textures, and I see it as a blank canvas to create a style that’s as unique as you are. Whether you want timeless elegance, romantic waves, or a soft boho vibe, I’ll bring your vision to life with care and attention to detail.

“Stacia is truly amazing at her craft. She brings incredible depth and attention to detail in everything she does, and most importantly, she really connects with her clients. Her work isn’t just beautiful—it reflects the care, communication, and effort she consistently puts in. Working alongside her is always a pleasure. Her kit is meticulously organized, clean, and extremely sanitary. She uses high-quality products made with natural ingredients, which I really appreciate. She even brings an air purifier with a fan to help clear the air from product fog—which I know my lungs are grateful for! Stacia is a true professional, and it shows in every aspect of her work.”
