I had an amazing experience with The Stylist Abroad! Ashley, the owner, was absolutely fantastic and was incredibly communicative for the entire process. She answered every single question right away, and gave so much insight! For the trial and on the day of my wedding, my girls and I worked with Kim (hair) and Jenna (makeup), and they were both amazing. So kind, so friendly, and clearly knowledgeable! I was deciding between two hairstyles, and Kim was happy to try both in my trial. I had a couple things I wanted to change with my makeup, and Jenna was more than happy to accommodate! I was incredibly pleased with both looks on my wedding day, and everyone looked incredible!! I was definitely very blessed with the weather on wedding day, so that also helps, but hair and makeup stayed in place fabulously! The cherry on top is that everyone was just so sweet and easy to talk to!! Made the start of the day so pleasant and relaxed, and it seems like all my girls had a great time, too! Would absolutely recommend!!

On the day of the wedding, Cristal's dedication truly shone through. She was not only professional and skilled but also incredibly warm and personable, making everyone feel at ease. She even provided thoughtful touch-up kits, which were a lifesaver and kept us looking flawless throughout the event. Cristal quickly became more than just our makeup artist; she became a friend. Her passion and talent are evident in every stroke of her brush, and I would highly recommend her to anyone considering a makeup artist for their special day.

  • Serves Elk Grove, IL for additional fees

My beauty journey started when I was about 4 years old.That’s when I helped myself to my mother’s lipsticks—which weren’t easy to come by in those days! I decided that day -and all days- should be Halloween, and I painted my face accordingly. As I grew, my love affair with makeup intensified. When I was a teenager, I would wear heavy, smoky eye makeup. I’ve grown out of that stage, having come to appreciate natural beauty. It’s natural beauty that I focus on now. But don’t get me wrong! I still love a wide palate of colors and working on creative photoshoots, pictorial projects, and editorial pieces.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience with Elena and her team! We did the silver package and my best friends, mom, and I were all thrilled with the end product and experience overall. We were not a make up and hair savvy group and she easily took us through the process and went with the vibe each girl asked for. She really listened to us when we asked for a more natural look and I couldn’t have felt more beautiful on my wedding day.

My name is Ronda, a professionally trained hairdresser that has recently relocated to Michigan. I’m a wife, mom and dog-mama. When I’m not in the Midwest, my husband and I spend a few months out of the year in the Caribbean on the beautiful island of Antigua (“wink wink” to all my destination brides!). In my free time, I love traveling, going to the beach with our Frenchie named “Tigua” and sipping a spicy margarita. My mission is to continue to create beautiful looks for my Brides, share my knowledge with other aspiring hairdressers, and hopefully inspire others to manifest their biggest dreams.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so grateful for Ronda. She was so wonderful on my wedding day, and the whole party enjoyed chatting with her and it was a fun and relaxed morning with my best friends. I could not get over how stunning everyone hair turned out in the whole bridal party. She took the time with every girl to look at pictures and talk through what they wanted and even what they didn't want. She made sure I got exactly what I hoped for and looking back at the pictures - everyone's hair stayed perfectly together all night! I am so so happy I booked with her.

Hi and welcome to Natalie Rose Beauty! My name is Natalie and I am the owner and founder of Natalie Rose Beauty! My passion is to make my clients feel like their most beautiful self. I want them to know and trust, I am here to make their day easy, relaxed and special. Honesty is the best policy in my book and I will never steer my clients in the wrong directly. I vow to always collaborate with them on their Wedding Day look so they feel perfect. At the end of the day when you're working with Natalie Rose Beauty, you are working with someone who truly cares about you and how you feel on your Wedding Day.

I worked with Natalie for my wedding in October 2023. I instantly loved Natalie’s portfolio because it gave ma a very natural vibe. I am someone who really doesn’t wear make-up, so it was very important to me to have that “wedding day beautiful” look but also stay true to myself and look natural. Natalie is very easy to work with when it comes to her communication and professionalism. She is very detail oriented and gave me advice on timelines and other things I hadn’t thought of. I had a fun time at our initial trial for hair and make-up. She is a great listener while also bringing her own thoughts and ideas to the table. On wedding day, her and her team showed up and we had a great time. Myself, the bridesmaids, and even the mothers all expressed to each other how impressed we were with their work and how we all felt naturally beautiful. As the bride, i felt a lot of emotions that day and Natalie also was a great support in calming me down and supporting me. Natalie made me feel so beautiful and comfortable with flaunting it!! I had never felt that way before in my life. I cannot recommend her enough. I hope there is another time in my life where i can work with her again.

I loveee…LOVE ! I have been a big fan off sappy romance/rom-com movies ever since I was a little girl. I grew up watching all of the wedding TLC shows! And now I get to live that dream every weekend by helping you behind the scenes on your special day. It doesn’t even feel like a job to me, it just feels natural.

Alexis was amazing! She made my vision come to life, and she was so positive! My friend recommended her after Alexis did her hair for her wedding. I truly appreciate her work. One of my bridesmaids was anxious because curls never hold for very long and they stayed ALL NIGHT. I don’t know what magic she used but all I’m saying is book her!

Hi! I'm Cathy, A Chicagoland native, although I've spent the last 13 years as a wedding hair specialist in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Recently, I've traded in the majestic mountains for the lake life and am excited to transition my office setting to include luxury barns, dreamy vineyards and serene water views. Hairstyling is my passion and weddings are my primary focus meaning I keep my calendar flexible to accommodate a vast travel range, evening & weekend trial runs, early start times, weekday & Sunday ceremonies.

BOOK HER NOW! I have worked along side so many hair stylists, and she has been the most memorable. I am a Michigan photographer, and my my bride (Mykala) had Cathy. The style Mykala had is a trickier to create. She had a classic wave style. I've seen a lot of stylists attempt this, but not quite get it but Cathy is the QUEEN of the classic waves, among MANY other styles. I will always always recommend her to my couples! She is so personable and professional. I love seeing her instagram posts! She really is so talented.

I love creating beautiful, custom wedding henna! From intricate, elaborate bridal mehndi designs to speedy, satisfying designs for guests, I love it all. I have studied Indian, North African, and Middle Eastern henna design in depth, and am happy to create designs in a broad range of strictly traditional styles, or to combine traditional patterns with more individualized, unique elements for a customized henna experience.

I'd first met Heather at a Rhode Island PrideFest, and instantly saw how much talent she had. Every piece she did looked amazing, her precision was immaculate. I went to her several times over the years, and when my now wife and I began planning our wedding, I brought up the idea of having wedding henna done. My wife agreed, and I knew immediately that I needed to contact Heather. We met up with her at a nearby farm where she was holding a henna event, and she sat with us discussing what we would like done for the wedding for probably a half-hour or so. She sketched design ideas out, which we loved, and made a contract right then and there. Our wedding henna was stunning. We received so many compliments on it that night, and repeatedly after as it lasted beautifully for quite some time. We still get comments if someone sees wedding photos. Throughout the entire process, Heather was a dream to work with. Very kind and professional, she is exactly the caring presence a stressed bride-to-be needs.

Hi, I'm Danielle, I have been doing makeup for over 20 years! We are traveling, licensed and insured, professional makeup artists servicing Illinois and Indiana with prices starting at $80! Traveling Makeup Artists Specializing in Regular/Airbrushing, Bridal, and FX/Tattoo Coverage Makeup.

I loved how my girls and I looked on the day! Stunning work! However, I would just feel bad for future brides if I didn’t share that you need to be 100% on your timeline and # of people before you book. It is not an advantage to book early with them. Ended up paying about 6 services more than I used because of changes. I added a 4th artist and was totally fine with that fee her making a min of 5 services while keeping pay for all other artists as is, just bit the cost because that makes sense. However, my original contract with the owner had herself doing 5 people. When we added a second artist she was doing 4 but being paid for 5 to honor original contract. When going back to 5 she wanted me to pay again for that person, even though technically she was already being paid for 5 services and she was going to do 5 services…

My philosophy is that makeup should appear flawless without a beginning or an end to any line. My meticulous makeup aesthetic will compliment your features with an attention to detail that enhances your natural beauty. I always want my clients to feel like they still look like themselves, regardless of how much or how little makeup is applied. I use top of the line cosmetics and clinical grade skin care to cater to your skin health needs. Whether you are looking for a soft or extreme glam, classic, fun, sophisticated, or a natural look, I will deliver the perfect finish to make you feel your absolute best for your special night.

I literally started to tear up writing this review because of the amazing person Viktoria is. Choosing beautoria for my wedding day was the best decision I’ve ever made. Not only does Viktoria cater her makeup to suit each and every person that sits in her chair, but her kind and bubbly personality makes it such a fun experience - something that really helped to ease my wedding day jitters. Viktoria did my wedding day and engagement photo makeup, as well as my mom, sister, grandmother in-law on our wedding (see attached photos). Everyone was beyond happy with their makeup and we were receiving compliments all evening! She makes sure to prep your skin and the makeup does not feel heavy, but provides insane coverage and lasts all evening. I am so thankful to have met Viktoria and will be booking her for all my future events. Book her for your wedding! I promise you will not be disappointed.

She did my sisters makeup first and then mine all while working around my photographer who came to take photos.
