Erin Smith Beauty Creations was a joy to work with for my wedding day glam. Erin's communication style is quick, efficient, and easy-going, which helped keep everything organized leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Erin was a calming presence who helped soothe my nerves. She is highly adaptable and made sure I felt comfortable and like myself in the makeup look she created. I wanted a natural glam that accentuated my features without going overboard, and that's exactly what Erin delivered. The end result was beautiful and had all my guests complimenting how radiant I looked. Plus, Erin's rates are very reasonable for the area considering the high quality of her work and attentive service. I couldn't recommend Erin highly enough for any bride's wedding day beauty needs!

I used One Salon & Bridal for my wedding day hair and make up for me and 15 others! Everybody at One Salon & Bridal was extremely helpful and communicative!! From day 1, I felt like I was in good hands for my wedding hair and make up. The team was willing to make things work - however I needed them to work! For example, we didn't know at first if we would get ready at the salon or my venue but I was able to talk things out with Michelle and we came up with an action plan to get everybody ready in time! I was able to have a few of our close family members get hair and make up done with us, because the salon had all hands on deck for my wedding day! It was great working with everybody and I am so thankful for how easy they made this process! My hair and make up held up ALL night long and I felt so beautiful!! Thank you all :)

We were able to treat our mothers to a hair and makeup moment and our bridal party loved the results and not having to worry about their looks for the day. Everyone felt beautiful and confident. While the final looks were still stunning, we felt they didn't fully understand our vision - the bridal hair trial didn't fully translate, and the bridal makeup ended up more neutral than the requested pinky/peach tones with less dramatic eye makeup than planned. Overall though, it was a great value and we were happy with how everything turned out.

Luna truly knows how to make a bride feel like a queen! I had 3 trials before her, and when I met her I showed her my Inso and she went above and beyond what expected. She is now doing 3 of my cousins weddings because they loved her so much!!!

I’ve been glamming for 11 years and am so in love with what I do! I graduated from beauty school in 2010 and have never stopped educating myself. I want to create a flawless face while also being able to educate my clients on what I’m doing so they are completely comfortable throughout the entire service!

Lauryn was recommended to me for my wedding and she was a huge asset to my day! Her attention to detail to make she runs on time with the makeup schedule and providing the best wedding makeup I have ever seen, is impressive. Her prices were very fair for the services she provided! Overall, she is a professional and thanks to her I never felt more pretty than I did on my wedding day!

  • Starts at $125
  • Serves Gurnee, IL

I am a professional freelance makeup artist, airbrush-trained, and have been serving the Chicagoland and Northwest suburbs since 2020. I specialize in bridal, commercial, and special event makeup to meet any of your beauty needs. My expertise lies in creating stunning neutral and full glam looks, and I have talented artists on my team who specialize in soft glam as well. Whether you're preparing for your big day or a special occasion, my team and I are here to help you look and feel your best.

I highly recommend XV GLAM by anahirealmua for bridal makeup services. Anahi was extremely prompt and thorough in her communication throughout the planning process, which I greatly appreciated during the hectic wedding season. Most importantly, the quality of work by her artists (Pierena-makeup & Lorena-hair) was just beautiful - long lasting yet natural looking, and brought my vision for a soft glam bridal look to life perfectly. The artists were also very flexible and willing to travel to my getting ready location. They helped make me feel calm, confident and truly glamorous on my wedding day. I couldn't have asked for better beauty professionals and would recommend XV Glam to any bride looking for exceptional services and gorgeous, timeless makeup application.

Audrey and her team were spot on for my wedding! I booked in advance, communicated for months about my look- changed my mind a million times- and everyone was always in my team and did anything I asked. A wedding is stressful, but having the confidence to know my look will be flawless was worth every penny! Thanks Chicago hair and makeup professionals for making not only my wedding day, but the entire process wonderful!

Hi I am a licensed cosmetologist and a certified makeup artist i am also certified in airbrush makeup I have work with several bridal companies but finally want to do something for myself I have also worked with Asian/Indian/Pakistani brides

I had a lovely experience with Beauty Professional for my wedding day hair and makeup. Their communication was easy over text. The quality of work from Beauty Professional was beautiful and seamless. My bridal makeup looked flawless and was exactly the vision I had described to them. My bridesmaids also looked stunning with their hair and makeup done by Beauty Professional. I received so many compliments from guests on how lovely my makeup looked in photos and in person. Overall I would highly recommend Beauty Professional for your wedding hair and makeup needs. Their artists do beautiful work though and contributed very positively to making me feel like a gorgeous bride on my special day.

Shannon O'Brien 

5.0

  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $1,000 per person
  • Serves Gurnee, IL

Shannon and her team explore the captivating world of shape and color from a place of openness and expertise, with the conviction that beauty isn’t meant to be covered up, it’s meant to be celebrated. Creating looks for you to transcend without transforming who you are on your big day.

One of the FIRST pieces of advice I had when I got engaged was to hire Shannon O'Brien. And easily, that was one of the BEST pieces of advice I had. I booked her before I had any other information about my wedding at my fingertips. I was too afraid that if I didn't get her locked down right away, that I'd always have wished I did that first and foremost. Shannon is truly delightful. She comes ready to work with a smile and a suitcase full of cosmetics more organized than some makeup stores. She is a true artist and works everyone's face like a canvas- she can make anyone look like a complete goddess. I hired her to do my makeup, as well as my bridal party, mother, and mother-in-law and EVERYONE left saying that they haven't looked that good EVER. I know you're supposed to wash your face every night before bed ESPECIALLY when you have makeup on, but I have to say that I was very hesitant to listen to that rule- both times she did my makeup (after the trial and after the wedding). I've truly never felt or looked better and it was all in part to her makeup magic. She is a makeup wizard and her wand is a brush. Another great thing is, she allows you to give input. She lets you tell her how you feel best, what you think looks best on you, to bring in pictures of inspiration looks- and then she also gives you suggestions. She told me to expect that things may shift a little on the wedding day, as things like a tan, etc can change some of the makeup that may not have been done exactly at the trial. The look she did for my wedding wasn't a far cry from the trial, but I loved it even more! After seeing my hair and the whole look for the day, she felt inspired to do something a little different and there's nobody I'd blindly trust more with their makeup work than Shannon. In fact, if she never said a thing about what she planned to do and just went to town on my face, I'd have been thrilled. She's just THAT good. Aside from her amazing talent and artistry is her attitude. A HUGE thing for me was having a positive feeling in the room as I was preparing for the day. Someone that would add radiance and she did just that. Her disposition is sunny and she made everyone feel like the most beautiful person (inside and out). She brings an air of fun to the room, which, of course, is always welcome. Trust me on this, you'll be looking for any excuse after your wedding to have her do your makeup again. Just book her- there is no way you'll regret it.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with JFA! The South Florida team did an amazing job for my bridal party and me. We all felt incredibly beautiful on my wedding day! From the start, Brooke was very attentive and made the scheduling and contract signing process easy and stress-free. Scheduling my bridal trial was simple, and having the artists come to my home for the trial was really convenient. On the day of the wedding, Rachel (hair), Valeria (makeup), and Nicole (hair/makeup) were amazing. They were all so kind and kept us on schedule. If you're looking for a soft-glam look for your wedding day, I highly recommend them!
