Anomalie Beauty was a dream to work with!! Dani is incredible! She made the entire experience super easy and she was available whenever I had a question. She was quick to help me find artists for my scheduled events and kept track of any changes based on availability. Every artist I worked with was on time, professional, respectful and really listened to me when I explained what I wanted and worked with me to achieve the perfect look. You could tell by the way that they each talked about their work that they were really passionate about what they were doing and really cared about how you felt and wanted to look and made sure you were completely happy before packing up. I could not recommend Anomalie more for any event and I look forward to using them in the future.

The team at Kiss This Makeup was great to work with for my destination wedding. As an out-of-state bride, it was so important to find a professional and experienced team that could handle everything from setup to teardown, and they did just that. Jenna Maria, my lead artist, was incredibly knowledgeable and confident, which really helped ease my wedding-day nerves. She provided personalized recommendations after my trial that made a noticeable difference in how great my hair and makeup turned out on the big day. The entire team was friendly, open to feedback, and quick to make any adjustments to ensure everyone in my wedding party was happy with their look. I would recommend Kiss This Makeup to any future brides looking for a beauty team that can deliver both quality work and excellent customer service.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough wonderful things about WindyCityGlam!! From the moment I started working with them (weeks before from a continent away via emails), they were attentive, reliant, and so cooperative to relieve any stress in the process leading up to the wedding. On the day, they made my family, bridesmaids and I feel so comfortable and cared for. My mother and I both are people who don’t usually feel glamorous or confident in front of a mirror, but the team worked their magic in a way that felt natural, timeless, and absolutely stunning. Hearing my mom say she felt “beautiful” (because of them) was the best wedding present I could’ve asked for. They listened carefully to what we wanted, enhanced our features without ever making us feel overdone, and somehow captured exactly the look we didn’t even know we were hoping for. Cat listened to exactly what I wanted at the trial and on the day of, to make small tweaks to original looks that left me feeling even more confident and beautiful. Beyond the talent and artistry, what stood out most was how kind, calming, and encouraging the team was throughout the entire process. On such a meaningful day, that combination of skill and heart made all the difference. I had a lot of things I would’ve changed of my wedding day looking back, but Windy City Glam is NOT one of them!! I cannot recommend them enough! If you’re looking for hair and makeup artists who can make you feel beautiful inside and out—even if you’ve never felt that way before—look no further than Windy City Glam!

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 :)

Ann Krause was amazing — I truly can’t say enough good things! She listened so closely to my vision (even my slightly wild idea of adding glitter to my hair), and helped me create a look that felt completely “me.” She even helped me choose a hair piece that worked perfectly with my dress and served as a beautiful alternative to my veil for the reception. My makeup was absolute perfection — glamorous, but still natural. I felt stunning all day long. Between my trial and the wedding, Ann took all of my feedback to heart — adjusting the curl hold, adding more pins, and fine-tuning everything so it felt secure and photo-ready without being overdone. She was professional, warm, and completely tuned in to what I needed. I’d recommend Ann a thousand times over — she helped me feel like the best version of myself on such an important day.

I didn’t have a bridal party, but wanted to get ready with my mom and a couple friends. This was perfect as Blush & Braids was able to come out and do my wedding hair (only because I booked a friend of a friend for make-up before figuring out my hair) as well as hair and make-up for my mom and friends. Macy was our artist and she was incredible! I was blown away by her skills at my bridal trial and Macy did amazing on the day of the wedding! My Mom and friends loved their hair and makeup too! In addition, Macy was so fun to get ready with, she was calming, while also hyping us up for the big day.

When I first got in contact with Cristal for my October wedding, I instantly knew she was my makeup/hair artist! We instantly became friends, and took the time to get to know me and my wedding vision! She was so fast to respond to any questions I had, as well as being so accommodating. Cristal was willing to go between locations and work with our timeline. We did a trial run, and loved the results along with great recommendations to where I could get the products if I loved them. The hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and I turned out amazing and lasted the whole day! Her artistry and how much she loves her work really shows through. I couldn't have asked for a better hair and makeup stylist to complete my wedding day!

Rana was a dream to work with for my wedding day. Her communication was friendly and prompt, with sweet responses to all my questions and requests. Despite completely changing my hair and makeup from our trial, Rana made me feel beautiful on my big day. She was also incredibly flexible, accommodating last-minute requests for my mom's and sister's hair and makeup with no issue. Rana is so detail-oriented, listening carefully to exactly what I wanted and making sure I felt great on my wedding day. She customized everyone's look to their taste. I can't emphasize enough how accommodating Rana was throughout the whole process. She wants you to not just look good but feel amazing, and that radiance definitely shines through in her work. Rana is the best!
