traveling bridal makeup artist based in San Diego
About ALEXIS NICHOLAS
Working multiple jobs to support my passion, I built my expertise by helping friends and family for special occasions. In 2017, I moved to San Diego with my husband and gained invaluable experience with a bridal beauty team. A year and a half later, I launched my brand, Alexis Nicholas.
My career took me across the country, including stints in Virginia and extensive travel for clients in places like Dallas, New York, Napa, Miami, DC, Charlotte, and even Italy. Now back in San Diego, I continue to grow my business, deeply grateful for every client who has been part of my journey. Your support has shaped me into the artist I am today.
I'm Alexis! As a traveling bridal makeup artist based in San Diego, I bring a decade of experience to each client. My journey began in small-town Ohio, where I attended beauty school and earned my esthetician’s license. Realizing that true makeup artistry was self-taught, I honed my skills on anyone willing to let me practice.

Honestly, you can't compare Alexis because her skills are above and beyond. She listens to what your goals are and can replicate and elevate any inspo pic. She was my first contact to book during wedding planning because I based everything else off her availability. Alexis is professional, chic, intelligent, and all around such a fun artist to have on your big day. "
"Without a doubt the best artist available.
Cody S.
When she was on her way to the venue to make me beautiful, she asked me if I needed anything. If I wanted her to pick up anything, bring a Starbucks, gum, etc. Who does that? A genuinely nice person does, named Alexis.”
"…I was so blown away by not only her perfect makeup skills, but as a human being.
Maggie B.
She paid attention to every little detail and took time to listen. She is a professional in every sense of the word, calm, kind, prepared, and punctual. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to feel like a million bucks on a special day!”
