I found Windy City Glam through my wedding planner and am so glad I got to work with them! As an Asian bride with double eyelids, I had always been a little confused about how to achieve a glam look that still felt right for me. Working with Jean (JR) at Windy City Glam was such a reassuring and educational experience.
Jean made me feel completely comfortable sharing feedback and even changing my look significantly from my trial to my wedding day.

I hired Windy City Glam to do hair and makeup for myself, my mother, and my MIL for my wedding. I went with Windy City Glam specifically because I had seen that they had experience working with many diverse brides and I wanted a team that had experience doing makeup on South Asian and East Asian skintones/features.
Sam (Samantha) did all of our hair and makeup and she was amazing! So fun and easy to talk to and work with and understood all of our preferences and executed perfectly.

Working with Windy City Glam was such a great choice for our wedding day. The team showed up on time and ready to work, and they listened closely to what each of us wanted for our hair and makeup. When weather issues came up, they were flexible about changing locations without any fuss, and they were totally understanding when I wanted to adjust a few things. Every artist on their team was polite and sweet, and they paid real attention to the details that mattered to us. I honestly couldn't have asked for better professionals to have by my side on my special day.
