Makeup in Chicago

“My artists, Jenna and Milian, at Blush and Braids were simply incredible. I truly have no feedback beyond a glowing review. They made all four of us getting hair and makeup services feel confident and beautiful. Moreover, Jenna went above the call of duty to cover some scarring on my upper arm from a recent shingles outbreak I had leading up to the wedding. Milian’s bridal updo was sleek and elegant, and exactly what I wanted for my look. It also stayed PERFECTLY snatched into place for almost 48 hours!

Jenna and Milian are true artists and I cannot thank them both enough. I know any bride would feel so beautiful, safe, and cared for in their chairs!“

“Not only was Isabel so kind and attentive! They made sure my haircut was what I envisioned! As a new first time mom I am going through the hair loss phase & really wanted a fresh start and to feel less stress about finding my strands & clumps everywhere I went! They walked me through the steps and made me feel comfortable going through change.. a great start to my weekend and great start to a new milestone! I’ll be coming back to do color next!“

“Charles gave me a haircut. Fantastic! It takes a French man to make a woman feel sexy again:) thank you.“

“Called yesterday for a last minute appointment for this morning and Shanae was so kind to schedule for today. I hadn’t washed my hair in months and she scrubbed it clean. My service also came with a blow dry and my roots were so straight. I will be coming back.“

“Angela is amazing! I've seen her twice now for hair color and cut and I am so appreciative and relieved at how the appointments have gone. She's a very detailed and deliberate worker while also still working within the timeframe of our appointments. She's been careful to not push the boundaries of my hair health while still delivering exactly what I was looking for from my inspo pics. Her product recommendations have worked very well with my hair too. I look forward to my future appointments with her and continuing to feel confident with how my hair turns out. Thank you Angela!“

“The salon is gorgeous and everyone is so warm and friendly! It was my first time here and the owner spent time showing me around before my appointment to make sure I felt welcome. Alex gave me an incredible haircut and went above and beyond in making sure it was exactly what I wanted, highly recommend!“

“I am beyond happy that I chose Diem Angie and her team for both my engagement photoshoot and wedding day! After such an amazing experience during my engagement session, I knew I would be in the best hands for my wedding. Diem Angie and her team are incredibly professional, responsive, and attentive to every detail.

They are also so kind and bubbly, which made the getting-ready process even more fun and relaxing. Diem Angie truly listened to my vision while offering expert advice that elevated my overall look with her amazing artistry! I felt absolutely confident and beautiful on my wedding day thanks to her and her team.
I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup, and I truly felt like I was living out my dream fairytale wedding. I cannot recommend Diem Angie and her team enough. They are talented, thoughtful, and an absolute joy to work with! :)“

“perfect place to get a good haircut for a decent price. I will definitely be going back!“

“Wedding planner here! I recently worked with Ioana & Jen for a wedding in Colorado and my only complaint is that they aren't closer, as I would recommend them for every wedding!!! Not only did they do an absolutely gorgeous job with the bride and her bridesmaids, but they stayed all the way until after the ceremony for any touch ups, which I have literally never seen before! They are so talented and kind, AND although this has nothing to do with HMU, when the wind picked up and literally blew the tablescape away, they were right there helping me getting everything put back together and I can't say how much I appreciated working with both of them. 10/10“

“I’m honestly so happy with my ombré brows. They look super natural, the shape is perfect, and the color came out exactly how I wanted. The whole experience was smooth and comfortable, and you can tell a lot of care went into the work. I love waking up and not having to worry about my brows anymore. I would 100% recommend this service.“

“Hello.
Everything was great, from the entrance to checkout. Hamilton is very professional and loved my haircut.
Thank you everyone one.“

“Even though my wedding was a destination wedding in Miami, this Chicago bridal artist team exceeded every expectation. They were incredibly professional, well-prepared, and attentive to everyone throughout the day. Everything ran smoothly, and they truly made us feel taken care of. Highly recommend!“

“Rana is truly a gem! I could not have been happier with how everything turned out on my wedding day. From start to finish, Rana and her team were incredibly organized, professional, and made the entire getting-ready process feel completely stress-free. On such an emotional day, they made everyone feel relaxed, comfortable, and cared for. Rana fit right in with the group and brought such a calming presence to the morning.

Most importantly, everyone looked absolutely stunning. Rana is a true master of her craft. Every member of my bridal party was thrilled with their hair and makeup, and everything lasted beautifully throughout the entire day and night.

Thank you, Rana, for bringing my vision to life and helping me and my girls look and feel our absolute best on such a special day. I would recommend Rana over and over again to any bride looking for exceptional talent, professionalism, and a wonderful experience.“

“We hired The Bridal Beauty Team for our wedding hair and makeup for two brides and our moms/sister. Kate was responsive throughout the process, even helping us navigate a second trial after concerns during the first one. My wife and I loved our hair and makeup on the day of and it held up great throughout the day. We got ready at their salon, which was a great decision for us - the decor is a little funky which may or may not go with your aesthetic if you are having photography taken! But the space is big and was great for people to hang out. We especially loved Jasmine who did amazing work and went above and beyond to help our morning run smoothly!“

“Alyssa is the best! Friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help you try something new. The whole staff is amazing.“

“JPN Nails is the best in the city, hands down. The services (e-file pedicures, hard gel manicures are my regulars) are flawless every time and last forever. The salon is beautiful and absolutely spotless, everything is sterilized. I see Julia, but all the girls are so friendly and welcoming, not to mention careful and talented. They can do simple, and they can do creative and beautiful nail art. If you want the best, you've found it.“

“I had Tetiana and it was the best haircut I’ve gotten in Chicago!! Highly recommend“

“Absolutely loved my lash lift with Daria! She was so sweet, professional, and made me feel really comfortable throughout the appointment. My lashes turned out amazing!! Lifted, natural, and exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend Daria if you’re looking for beautiful results!“

“I got a full head foil and cut with Megan L, and she was fantastic! The blonde color came out great, and I loved my cut. Book with Megan while you can!“

“I absolutely adore Lincoln Park Hair salon and would recommend to anyone looking to go on their hair journey. Tanya provides customized advice for your hair needs and provides you with the knowledge and guidance to help you meet your hair goals. When I first started coming here I expressed frustration from previous salons giving my hair a reddish tone and over cutting it. From there she developed a 6 month personalized hair plan for me with instructions on how to best take care of my hair and meet my goals. I’ve already learned so much and I appreciate that I no longer feel alone on this hair growth journey. The service is exceptional and is such a relaxing self care experience. Highly highly recommend.“

“Moe's make up skills are excellent, and I really appreciated that he took the time to answer all of my questions and consider my input.
I was initially concerned about having a heavy makeup look, but he worked with me to come up with a better plan that I was comfortable with. Highly recommend!!“

“I have gotten two spray tans here and I came back after the first bc I loved it so much. Gabi was my spray tan artist both times I came in. The tan looks natural, easy to maintain, and I don’t even notice when it fades.“

“After endless research for bridal makeup artists, Windy City Glam was the discovery that brought my wedding vision together. From our first conversation, Cat was open and comforting when it came to working with my sensitive skin, favorite makeup looks, and overall, elevating my Asian features. I didn't think it was possible to love my bridal look more than I did after my trial, but Cat truly outdid herself on the wedding day. I’m still in awe of how my makeup felt like a perfect reflection of my true self. The intentionality behind every detail made me feel so seen and speaks volumes to Cat’s expertise. Through all the tears, hugs, laughter, and dancing, my makeup not only continued to glow but also highlighted all the happiness and joy I felt. My sisters’ hair/makeup was also gorgeous and lasted all day.

I cannot recommend Cat and Windy City Glam enough. They were a pleasure to work with and ensured that everything was well-organized, which made getting ready fun and seamless. I’m so grateful for how beautiful and confident they made me feel on such a meaningful day.“

“Incredibly talented artist. Was able to help my girlfriend at the last minute and she LOVED it. Would give 6 stars if I could.“

“Deb did hair and make up for my wedding and I am so so glad that she did! My main goal was to look as natural as I can while still having a beautiful glow, and she accomplished that perfectly. I still felt like myself on my wedding day which is exactly what I wanted. I have naturally very curly hair that a lot of people don’t know how to work with so when Deb was recommended for someone who knew how to handle curls and could keep my hair natural for my wedding day, I was so excited. Deb did exactly that! She used my natural curls and once again made me look like me in a stunning way! On top of her talent, she is organized, professional, a great communicator, and she is so fun to talk to and has a wonderful personality, which made the whole process so much easier!

On my wedding day, the earring back of my wedding earrings broke, I was scrambling to find an earring back. Sweet Deb offered me the back to her own earring that she currently had in her ear! Get a hair and make up artist like Deb who will make you look beautiful, have a great time with, and will make sure that you’re set up for success on your wedding day!“
