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!!

I cannot remember how exactly I found Glow Bridal Co, but I remember loving how understanding Tricia was when I did not respond right away due to being so overwhelmed with wedding planning. I was happy how willing she was to do another trial if I felt was needed (although i did not end up doing another one and I was happy with how i looked on my wedding day). I had a total of 5 people for makeup & 7 people for hair, not including myself. I do not remember the exact pricing, but I felt like they were reasonably price. The most important thing is I felt beautiful with my hair and makeup. The only thing I did not like was that Tricia and Paola left the hotel the day of my wedding without checking to see if I needed anything touched up one last time. My mom and I had stepped away for a few minutes, and, when we came back, they were gone. Thankfully, I did not realize this until after my wedding day, and I think i was fine, but i do think they should have checked with me before leaving. Overall, I am happy with the service I received & would recommend them for hair & makeup

Hi there! I’m Jacquee. I am a licensed esthetician and freelance makeup artist. I was trained in makeup artistry and hair design at Make Up First in Chicago. My esthetics training was completed at the Universal Spa Training Academy in Downers Grove. So now that we’ve got that out of the way let’s talk about what I can help you with! I’m well versed in all areas of makeup from beauty and bridal to commercial, theatrical, and even special effects. I’m just as comfortable working on a film set as I am working with my brides. I enjoy making people feel good about themselves and I put my all into everything I do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jacquee did a remarkable job on my wedding hair and makeup, as well as the hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and mother. Starting with the consultation/run-through, it was clear that Jacquee was a professional. Even though I didn’t have a solid sense of what I wanted, she listened to what I liked and executed to perfection. In fact, the morning of my wedding I felt very sick to my stomach and had only gotten two hours of sleep the night before. I had some VERY dark circles under my eyes and was worried that I had ruined my chances of looking beautiful on my wedding day. Jacquee was unfazed and was able to make me look just as fantastic as I hoped. She gave all of us little touch-up kits which were super handy throughout the day and my hair and makeup looked great all night. I find myself trying to come up with reasons to get my makeup done by Jacquee again just so I can feel that gorgeous! I highly recommend Jacquee for your hair and makeup needs!

Kim did absolutely incredible work, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose her for my wedding day. From the trial alone, I knew she was the one. Despite a heavy storm and me getting caught in the rain, my hair lasted flawlessly all day. On the actual day, she somehow made my hair look even better than my inspiration photos, something I honestly never thought possible. She worked so efficiently and gracefully, even in the tight space of a small hotel suite (sorry, Kim!), and had my hair finished by 11am. Before the big day we created a custom schedule for everyone, which was amazing and helped the rest of the day run smooth. The hair stayed picture perfect through the entire wedding, hours of dancing, endless hugs, and even through the after-party until 3am. The longevity and quality were beyond anything I could have hoped for. What meant the most to me, though, was how Kim cared for my maid of honor. In the months leading up to the wedding, my MOH began experiencing alopecia and was anxious about having a formal hairstyle. Kim not only reassured her with such professionalism and compassion, but also created pure magic. Her hairstyle was stunning, and you would never have known she had any hair loss at all. The confidence and beauty Kim gave her that day meant the world to both of us. She went above and beyond for everyone, exceeding every expectation. I am endlessly grateful and would recommend Kim to anyone looking for a stylist who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, thoughtful, and truly dedicated to making her clients feel beautiful.
