I can’t say enough wonderful things about the glam team that made me, my bridesmaids, and my mom feel absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day. Selena has been with me through it all—my engagement shoot, courthouse wedding, trial, and finally the big day. She is truly phenomenal at what she does. Selena has such a great eye for what looks good, while also listening to suggestions and making sure her clients feel comfortable and confident. She doesn’t just “do makeup”—she creates a look that enhances natural beauty, lasts all day, and makes you feel your absolute best. Every time she worked with me, I felt like the most beautiful version of myself. Jeanette is a true hair artist. Her skills are top tier—she has the hands and vision to bring any hairstyle to life and somehow make it even better than the inspiration photo. She did my hair for the trial, and when I wasn’t sure if it was exactly what I wanted, she was so quick to suggest adjustments and work with me until I felt 100% confident. On my wedding day, my hair was everything I dreamed of and more—elegant, secure, and perfect from start to finish. Katie is so sweet. She actually did my wedding hair for my courthouse ceremony, and on the big day she took care of my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup as well as my mom’s. She made sure each one of them looked stunning while still feeling like themselves. The girls couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved their looks and how comfortable Katie made them feel during the process. And a special thank you to Colette, who handled all of the scheduling. She was so accommodating with my needs and always willing to adjust things when plans shifted. Having someone so organized and flexible made the whole process stress-free, which is invaluable when planning a wedding. This team went above and beyond to make us look and feel beautiful. Their professionalism, kindness, and talent made such a difference on my wedding day, and I am so grateful for each of them.

    We are not like the other beauty pros. It’s not about the latest trends or building our portfolio, but rather we approach every wedding with a simple focus: Allowing your true beauty to shine through, with a little extra oomph, on your big day. Let us help you feel like your most confident self as you celebrate the commitment between you and your partner.

    I cannot recommend Angelica highly enough! She was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day. From our initial consultation to the big day itself, her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were truly unmatched. Finding a great hair and makeup artist was extremely important to me since it can make or break your wedding photos. I don’t wear a lot of makeup in my everyday look so it was important for me to find an artist that would keep my makeup soft and glowy while also photographing well. Angelica took the time to understand my vision, perfectly blending it with her expertise to create a look that made me feel like the best version of myself. Angelica was also extremely flexible and understanding. During my trial, we planned big Hollywood waves and soft glam makeup. On my wedding day, I decided to change it up and go with an updo to better compliment my low back dress. She didn’t even question why I wanted to change it up. She truly made me feel so comfortable and confident. My hair and makeup stayed flawless throughout the day and night, despite it being an outdoor wedding in Florida along with all the dancing and happy tears! What stood out the most was her calming and friendly presence. On such an emotional day, having someone so kind and reassuring made all the difference. She even went above and beyond to make sure my mother, sister and mother in law looked stunning as well. She also brought along a content creator (with my permission) talk about having a full celebrity moment! If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel beautiful, confident, and stress-free on your special day, look no further than Angelica. She truly is exceptional at what she does!

They coordinated our pre-wedding trials in a way that aligned perfectly with other vendor meetings so we could fit everything into one trip.They also provided a curly hair specialist, which was extremely important to us, and the results were amazing. On the wedding day, they brought multiple stylists who were punctual, efficient, and allowed plenty of time for touch-ups so everyone looked their best before photos.

      Chicago, IL

        A love for the creative and performing arts, three years of collegiate studio art training, and a BA in Dance Performance lead to Joey’s obsession with makeup artistry. His approach to makeup application is similar to a painter and his canvas - working in layers, stroke by stroke, to find a beautiful end result. Beauty comes in all forms: a simple flick of eyeliner, an enhanced complexion, or full-on glam. It is Joey’s passion to identify the “perfect” look for the occasion and work with his clients to create a truly beautiful result that leaves them feeling their best.

        Joey was truly one of the highlights of my wedding day. From the moment we met for my trial, I knew I was in the best hands. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he is such a warm, calming, and easy presence to be around. I immediately felt how much care and intention he brings to his work. He listened closely and made sure my bridal look felt exactly like me, just elevated. On the wedding day, that care continued tenfold. Honestly, one of my favorite parts of getting ready was sitting in his chair, chatting, and soaking in the moment while he worked his magic. He made me feel like the most beautiful, glowy, confident, fully myself version of a bride. Elevated and radiant. Joey also brought an amazing team of artists who were just as lovely and professional. All of my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law were blown away by both the talent and the experience. The skill level is truly top tier. I cannot recommend Joey enough. If you want to feel stunning, confident, and completely taken care of on your wedding day, he is your person.

        Eliora, Kristin and Lauren come to you with too many years of experience to count (it would give away our ages!) in the hair and makeup industry. All professionals trained with various backgrounds (from theater to photography), they came together because they had the same idea for a bridal team: talent, professionalism, customer service, get the job done ON TIME and leave with everyone smiling.

        We had a great experience with We Only Do Pretty! We had them do hair and makeup for me (the bride), all the bridesmaids, MOB, MOG and the flower girl and everyone loved how their hair and makeup turned out. I prefer a more natural look and Eliora and Taylor did an amazing job with the very limited input I provided. I have been in several weddings and this was by far the most relaxed getting ready I've had and we were done early! Would definitely recommend We Only Do Pretty!

        Hello future brides and grooms! I’m Yaricza, but you can call me Yari. I’ve been a makeup artist for 11 years, and for the past five, I’ve poured my heart into my own small business. To me, makeup is so much more than just a transformation—it’s about the way you feel the moment you look in the mirror. I’m a firm believer that great makeup starts with great skincare, and I pride myself on connecting deeply with every client I serve to ensure you feel like the best version of yourself on your big day.

        Yari at YXO Beauty was an absolute dream to work with. From the very beginning, she completely calmed my nerves while I was searching for the right makeup artist for my wedding. Her work is truly amazing she is a real artist and a professional. Her standards are clearly high, and it shows in every detail of her work. On my big day, she made me feel absolutely beautiful and confident, which meant everything to me. She made sure i was satisfied. All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup as well. Yari has an incredible ability to tailor each look to the individual while still delivering exactly what each person envisions. Beyond her talent, her energy is so joyous and uplifting that it fills the room. On such a big and emotional day, she brought not only exceptional quality but also incredible vibes and that is truly priceless

          My name is Torie Conn. I work full-time as a Professional Makeup Artist in Chicago, and wherever my clients take me. With over a decade of experience working in commercial, editorial, and Film/TV, my passion is Bridal Makeup. I adore forming a relationship with my brides, focused on one of the most important days of their live. My one on one process allows my brides and I to create a timeless beauty look for their special day. My goal is to make my brides look and feel like the best version of themselves!

          From my trial, to rehearsal dinner, to wedding day, Torie made me feel like my most beautiful, best self. During my trial, she gave me some amazing recommendations that transformed my skin throughout the months before wedding day. Come rehearsal and wedding day, she listened very intently to some of the slight changes I wanted to make and executed flawlessly. I have never felt prettier, but also still myself, than I did on my wedding day. And that makeup LASTED ALL NIGHT. And to top it all off, she is such a joyful presence. I was very intentional about wanting to hire vendors who added a positive presence to the day and Torie did just that. I would recommend her a million times over!
