About Coco

cute pink planner, memo, note paper decoration

Greetings! I'm Nicole, but you can call me Coco. I come from the Chicago metro ​area but now reside near Kansas City. I'm thrilled to share that I hold ​cosmetology licenses in both Illinois and Kansas, and soon, Missouri!


My passion for makeup and fascination with bold hair colors led me down the ​path of cosmetology education. I completed my studies at Tricoci University of ​Beauty in the Chicago suburbs in May 2021 and received my cosmetology license ​just a month later. During my time in beauty school from June 2020 to May ​2021, I began to develop the concept for Coco's Kawaii Artistry. I aimed to ​bring something unique to the beauty scene in the West, though the specifics of ​what that would be took some time to clarify. This journey has been a creative ​exploration into the world of makeup, fueled by a passion for colorful ​expressions and artistic transformations. The launch of Coco's Kawaii Artistry ​was a highlight of my career, with my debut, practicing at the largest Midwest ​anime convention in May 2023. I'm excited to offer a variety of beauty services. ​While my focus is currently on makeup, I'm also looking forward to expanding ​into hair services soon. Keep an eye out for updates!


At Coco's Kawaii Artistry, my vision is to create a welcoming space for those ​who value their individuality and are ready to give back to alternative ​communities I have always cherished. Whether you're into goth, cosplay, or ​pastels, I'm here to enhance your natural beauty and help you shine in your own ​unique way. As a rising makeup artist, my specialty lies in creating kawaii looks ​and various alternative styles, perfect for conventions and other events. The ​idea of traveling for work, especially to bring anime characters to life with ​makeup and explore other subcultures, excites me.


My approach to beauty and the influences behind Coco's Kawaii Artistry blend ​elements from both Western and alternative subcultures, with a particular ​interest in East Asian styles like kawaii aesthetics, J-pop, J-fashion, and the ​makeup trends on Douyin. These sources of inspiration fuel my creativity. I ​strive to simplify things and highlight natural beauty with a touch of whimsy. ​The bold fashion styles of the alternative scene greatly influence my look. I ​deeply admire the art of character and cosplay makeup. I believe makeup is a ​powerful tool for self-expression. Moreover, I view my work as a tribute to J-​fashion, alternative fashion, and other East Asian subcultures. The bold fashion ​styles of the alternative scene continue to inspire me, and I firmly believe in the ​transformative power of makeup as a form of self-expression.


Through Coco's Kawaii Artistry, my goal is to encourage clients to embrace ​their uniqueness with vibrant colors and playful designs. Join me on this creative ​journey, where makeup becomes a means to unlock your personal style. Let's ​explore a world of kawaii charm, fantasy, and self-expression, turning faces ​into living masterpieces
