About Nuance By Nan

Hello! Welcome to Nuance by Nan! My name is Nan Whitehead, and I created Nuance by Nan as a place for women to discover their own personal style with cosmetics and skin care products.
Courage has a lot to do with style and wearing make-up…a woman needs to make the commitment to experiment with color. Make-up is for every woman (young and mature). It's knowing how much or how to little to wear that's important.

When you apply your make-up properly it will enhance the best of what you have. The greatest changes are to those of us who have the plainest faces. It is here we can create extraordinary improvements.

I created Nuance by Nan in 1984 after a career as a professional actress and model. Having been a featured actress in numerous soap operas, commercials and feature films with such stars as Sylvester Stallone, John Travolta and Frank Sinatra, it gave me the opportunity to learn the utmost about make-up application and how to coordinate it with your personality.

I started by guest speaking and demonstrating make-up applications to groups of women. Due to customer demand for quality products and personalized service, I researched and developed cosmetics and a full line of skin care products, packaged them under Nuance by Nan and opened my salon in Bayonne, New Jersey.

Personal service is the key to my successful business growth. Unlike major department stores, I devote as much time as needed to my clients…it's the only way to succeed in business and I learn from my clients as well!

Thank you for visiting Nuance by Nan Cosmetics Online Salon!

Sincerely,
Nan Whitehead
