For customers: how our chat works

On the Nicole Dance Shoes website, you will find an AI assistant active on every page, ready to respond immediately. You can ask it anything: which model to choose for your discipline, how to find the right size, which materials and heels are available, how shipping in Italy and abroad works, delivery times, return and refund policies, accepted payment methods, and much more.

For requests that require a personalized assessment — such as a Preziosa custom-made shoe, an order for a special event, a special customization, or a quote — the assistant will transfer the conversation directly to our staff. The Nicole team will respond during business days.

You can also contact us directly from the Contact Us page, request a personalized quote, or consult your quote history. Contact us or Request a quote.
