Dr. Nicole Martin is entering her 40s on an icy note.
Fresh off her lavish birthday celebration, The Real Housewives of Miami mom gifted herself with a gorgeous new hairdo. Nicole teased the change in a September 3 Instagram photo taken at Studio Raupo — an upscale Miami salon co-owned by Lhonette Bernard Charles and Wendy Mongiardo. The picture showed Nicole patiently sitting with foil in her hair as she sipped on a Pura Vida green smoothie.
“Trust the process,” she captioned the Story. “[Lhonette ] always works magic.”
Dr. Nicole Martin updates her look: "Nothing like a fresh cut and color"
Nicole returned to Instagram a few hours later to reveal the final results. The mother of two shared a close-up of her shortened locks and new platinum blond color.
“Icey baby,” she wrote. “Nothing like a fresh cut and color.”
Nicole made the update just several days after she rang in the big 4-0 with friends and family. The board-certified anesthesiologist celebrated her special day at Chateau ZZs Mexican restaurant in the Brickell neighborhood of Miami. Photos and videos showed Nicole rocking a sleek ivory Amanda Uprichard romper with gold buttons and a mini-skirt. The Florida native accessorized the garment with a gold watch, stud earrings, a pendant necklace, and a pair of metallic gold pumps.
Nicole also provided a look at an incredible three-tier birthday cake created by Ohh My Sweetness baker Vanessa Mateo. The dessert was decorated with white and gold frosting and an assortment of cascading bright flowers. The top tier featured a “Happy Birthday” plate and a gold “40” topper.
“The yummiest [cake],” Nicole captioned a photo.
Dr. Nicole shares an update on her baby daughter
About a week before her birthday shindig, Nicole celebrated another milestone for her young daughter, Genevieve Nicole Lopez, aka "Baby G." The Miami mom posted photos of her little girl next to a tiny sprinkle cake with a No. 5 candle.
“This is 5 months,” Nicole wrote in the August 26 carousel.
How Dr. Nicole and Anthony Lopez achieve a work-life balance
Nicole and her fiancé, Anthony Lopez, welcomed their daughter in late March, roughly five years after they had their first child, Greyson. Nicole spoke about her family addition in a recent interview with RealityTea, explaining how she and her longtime partner, Anthony, balance their busy work schedules and raising two kids.
“Life as a mom of two has been incredibly fulfilling, albeit a bit more chaotic,” she said. “Each day brings new challenges and joys, and I’m loving every minute of it. Balancing my career and family life is a constant juggling act, but seeing my children grow and thrive makes it all worthwhile.
“Anthony and I make a great team when it comes to balancing parenting duties,” Nicole continued. “We both have demanding careers, but we ensure that our schedules are coordinated so one of us is always available for Genevieve and Greyson. We split responsibilities and support each other, which makes things manageable and allows us to enjoy quality family time.”
