“My experience with Nicky was brilliant.”

“Nicky is fun, practical, kind, supportive, and encouraging. I was in a slump after putting on heaps of weight and felt uninspired by my clothes. I kept buying things that didn’t suit me and was in desperate need of help. “

Kim, Wellington

"I highly recommend her and her style services!"

"My daughter and I recently had a mother-daughter colour consultation with Nicky and highly recommend her and her style services! We weren't quite sure what to expect but Nicky took us through it step by step, so we felt very informed throughout the whole process."

Kristen, Lower Hutt

“It’s such a fun process to see what colours really suit me”

"Having my colour analysis with Nicky was so great. It’s such a fun process to see what colours really suit me and what doesn’t. Nicky is so welcoming and made the whole process really enjoyable. I'm excited about using new-found colour understanding to help guide my future wardrobe purchases."

Christa, Lower Hutt

"As a 48-year-old woman, It feels pretty spectacular to have left that life-long baggage in Nicky’s studio"

"It’s difficult to capture in just a few words how much my session with Nicky meant to me. It was about so much more than colours. I’ve always harshly judged my appearance, dressed to hide my body, and felt ashamed of my wardrobe. As a 48-year-old woman, it feels pretty spectacular to have left that life-long baggage in Nicky’s studio. I loved every minute, Nicky."

Joany, Melbourne

"Step back and let Nicky work her magic or really get involved and build your knowledge of what works for your skin tone."

"I enjoyed the 90-minute experience of identifying my colours with Nicky. You can get as involved in the process as you wish, step back and let Nicky work her magic or really get involved and build your knowledge of what works for your skin tone. I've looked at colours differently since then and have been working through my wardrobe understanding why I like certain things but not others."
