Did you sync your contact information using iCloud?

If yes, did you make sure, that the option "Contacts" has been enabled in the settings for iCloud on your device?

You might also be able to restore the info:

In case you are not using iCloud contacts, do you have a recent backup, that you can restore from? This backup will also contain the contacts, if iCloud has not been used to sync this information.
