Hello, congratulations on your upcoming wedding. My name is Hannah and I am an independent on site hairstylist with a passion for formal styling. I have been a licensed cosmetologist since 2013, working behind the chair in Peoria salons. In 2021 I moved back to my hometown of Streator, got married and started a family. With all of my life changes I am excited to focus my career solely on weddings. I can't wait to make you feel beautiful on your special day.

Hannah did an absolutely beautiful job on my wedding hair. She was communicative and utilized my reference images exactly as I’d hoped. She asked me for my input through the whole process to make sure my hair was exactly how I wanted it. She was a joy to chat with as we got ready and brought so much positive energy. She provides an excellent quality of work and her pricing is extremely reasonable. Absolutely recommend her for your wedding hair needs! Note: the photo with the veil doesn’t have the string removed yet intentionally ;)

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 :)

At Kiss This Makeup, we believe in the transformative power of beauty. Whether you’re preparing for your wedding day or a special occasion, our goal is to enhance your natural beauty and create a look that reflects your unique style and personality. From timeless classics to modern trends, our talented and passionate beauticians are here to bring your vision to life. We offer makeup artistry, hair styling, and beauty assistance with a specialized team for all special events covering South & Central Florida, Dallas, along with Chicago and surrounding suburbs.

Kiss This Makeup did a WONDERFUL job with my wedding hair and makeup, as well as hair and makeup for my wedding party. I have very fine, straight hair that has a difficult time holding a curl, but Jenna Marie was so open-minded and willing to work with me on finding solutions that would work well for me. My hair help up for the entire wedding (including through Hurricane Helene!!) and was so beautiful. I was unsure what I was looking for as my hairstyle, but Jenna helped me narrow down my options and advised based on my face shape, dress, and overall vibe of the wedding. My makeup was so beautiful, and didn't irritate my sensitive skin at all and left me with no breakouts! It lasted the entire day and looks beautiful in my photographs. Jenna and Nicole also did the hair and makeup of my wedding party, and everyone was in love with their looks, and looked great the whole day. KTM was very flexible when I last minute had a family member ask if they could get their makeup done, and the team was able to adjust the schedule to accommodate her. Additionally, we have many LGBTQ members of our wedding party, and KTM was nothing but lovely and welcoming to all. They really went above and beyond, and I have never felt so beautiful in my whole life. I will never forget how special and stunning KTM made me feel for the entire getting-ready process, and how well-organized they were, which left me feeling no stress about how the getting-ready part of the day would go, and also feeling confident that everyone would look great throughout the entire event. I would highly recommend Kiss This Makeup to anyone who is looking for the best service and stunning results for their wedding or any event. Much love!!

Erin and her girls were amazing from the moment I first reached out. Erin was always quick to respond and was super helpful with the entire planning process. Before my trial, Erin had looked up my social media so she already knew my vibe (simple and elegant). I showed her a few pictures and she had great ideas for the hairstyle. She helped me find the perfect hairpiece that made me confident I didn't want a veil. A few weeks before our wedding, we realized we were going to have a time crunch and within a few hours (late on a Monday evening), Erin added two girls to help so we wouldn't be stressed for time. Cassie did all of our hair and my make up. She was fast, efficient and very down to earth. Micaela helped with pre curls and she already seemed like she was a pro. Kylie did makeup for my bridesmaids and they all looked gorgeous. I cannot say enough great things about Erin & her crew. You won't regret booking with them.

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.
