MAIA nicholas

My artistry is centred around beautiful skin, refined details and enhancing each clients natural features. I’m drawn to sculpted complexions, detailed eyes, fresh colour and finishes that feel polished and radiant. Rather than following one formula, I tailor every look to the person in my chair, creating finished looks that feel modern, elevated and distinctly them!

For me, makeup is about so much more than how you look when you leave my chair - it’s about how you feel when you’re in it. My goal for every client is to create an experience they remember. An experience where they feel comfortable, cared for, confident and beautiful. From the moment you sit in my chair to the final look, creating an exceptional experience is always my goal.

I studied Level 4 Makeup Artistry at Cut Above Academy in Auckland, where I developed a strong technical foundation in professional makeup. Alongside this, my experience working in beauty retail has given me an in-depth understanding of products, skin types, and the importance of creating a personalised experience for every client.
