Nicole Appice-Davis
@nicoleappice-davis
Experienced hair and makeup artist delivering professional styling and client care.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated hair and makeup artist with extensive salon, freelance, and production experience across editorial, celebrity, and everyday client work. I bring strong technical skills in cutting, coloring, styling, barbering, makeup, and hair extensions, plus years managing salon operations and retail.
I have worked on high-profile clients and events, including managing appearance, styling, and travel for performances and red carpet appearances. I consistently recommend and use appropriate professional products while maintaining client satisfaction and sanitation standards.
My background includes supervisory roles: training and hiring assistants, coordinating products and inventory, and overseeing front-desk and retail functions. I am experienced with salon software (MINDBODY), upselling, and driving customer-focused service.
Despite a hearing impairment, I am an excellent communicator who reads lips and adapts quickly; I emphasize efficiency, reliability, and a strong work ethic and take pride in delivering polished results for clients and productions.
