Hi Everyone!

My name is Nicole Griese (well now Walters as I got married July of 2024 Woot woot!) but for now, Nicole Griese is the way I will keep it professionally.

First off, thank you for finding me! I want to use this about section to tell you my story, show you my personality, so you can get to know me on a more personal level…

My passion for makeup started when I was young, around the age of 7 truly, but more so around 12 when my mom started selling avon and mary kay cosmetics. I always loved watching my mom put on makeup and getting to try all the samples and play. I knew I alway wanted to do something in the beauty industry. Fast forward to when I became an adult… The last 10+ years, I have worked in sales and marketing and just decided one day that I want to be my own boss. I have been doing makeup for a little over five years at this point, not for money but for fun. Social media had really shown me that I could do this, I could become a makeup artist as a profession! So how did I start?? I looked for some schools. And I discovered Evergreen Beauty College and decided to join their Esthetics program. I did not realize how much I LOVED skin care.

I learned in school that skin care and makeup truly go hand and hand. If you do not have good skin care, your makeup application won’t be as flawless as someone who does. So I took my knowledge of skin care ingredients, skin type, and products to enhance my makeup skills and be able to coach my clients on both and thus….

Satine Beauty Studio was created! A place where I could reform beauty both skin deep and on the surface. A safe place where clients can be themselves, find a friend in me, have fun and silly conversations without being judged. I love the connection I get with meeting every new client and being able to make you feel conident in your own skin. Everybody deserves to feel good in their own skin and be pampered, and I strive to make that happen with each and every client. And without you, I wouldn’t love my job as much as I do. So thank you to everyone who finds my page and supports my small business.

Some fun facts about me:

  • I have an amazing family that is ever growing, that includes my husband, daughter, and 2 dog children (named Princess Leia and chewbacca for all you star wards nerds like me)

  • My passion for special effects makeup started REALLY early. I started watching horror movies at the age of 7 (thanks mom) and scary movies are my favorite! I love all things creepy and spooky, and was always mesmorized by character makeups growing up.

  • If I am not doing makeup or skin services, you will catch me at the gym. I’ve been power lifting for over five years and love being strong.
