I truly had the absolute best experience working with Anomalie Beauty for my wedding this past weekend. Dani and Colette were so helpful throughout the entire process and were always quick to answer my (many!) questions. I knew after my bridal trial that I was in great hands with Kayla (hair) and Amanda (makeup). I also ended up scheduling Amanda to do my makeup for my rehearsal dinner, and I loved the look she gave me! On the wedding day, Kayla and Amanda were professional and also so fun to get ready with. The entire bridal party looked so stunning. I would 100% use their services again in the future!

Hi! I’m Alyssa, and I started my company out of my love for makeup. Cliché, I know. I grew up dancing and always had to have a full face of makeup. I quickly learned how much I enjoyed the entire process of getting glam. But to be honest, the best part of my job is making someone feel their absolute best. It is such an honor to be a part of someone’s special day. It truly fills my heart, and I look forward to building ongoing relationships with every one of my clients.

I HIGHLY recommend using BBBB for your beauty services. As a bride who doesn't typically wear makeup and has naturally curly/wavy hair, my priority for hair/makeup services was finding a place who would make me look and feel beautiful and confident, but still like myself. The BBBB team KNOCKED it out of the park. Amy (makeup), Milian (hair) and Brenda (hair/makeup) were so kind and professional while doing hair/makeup for myself, my mother, my two grandmothers, my mother-in-law, and my two maids-of-honor. They kept us on schedule, but were flexible when someone was running behind or needed to take a break. Their energy was fun, warm, and relaxing, which helped to really set the tone for the day. Everyone was saying how the morning of the wedding felt almost like a spa experience – it was that relaxing! We all looked beautiful, seriously. And we all felt like *ourselves*, which was a top priority for us. I remarked to my husband that I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life on my wedding day – and I don't know if I'll ever feel more gorgeous! So much of that is attributed to the hair and makeup services I received from BBBB. I felt so confident heading into our wedding day. Not once did I feel preoccupied about my appearance, because the artists crushed it. Thank you BBBB crew for making such a special, cherished day all the more magical.

Windy City Glam - Best Bridal Hair & Makeup Team 

5.0

  • Team of 17
  • Starts at $700
  • Serves Des Plaines, IL

We are a team of mobile professional hairstylists and makeup artists who help brides feeling and looking their best self! Weddings, engagement shoots, bridal showers, bachelorette parties. Soft glam makeup with glowing skin and chic hairdos are what we're best known for!

I recently had the pleasure of having Windy City Glam do my bridal parties makeup for my wedding and I couldn't be happier with the results. Upon booking Windy City Glam, I also had the pleasure of being in contact with Catherine the founder who was always so accessible, kind, and professional. She set me up with a trial with Celeste prior to my wedding and she and Celeste took detailed notes about my vision for my wedding day look. I appreciate that they were both very receptive to feedback which made me feel heard, felt, and seen as a bride. You can tell Catherine/Windy City glam care deeply about their brides and desired wedding day looks. Beyond the trial Catherine and Celeste even gave me recs on lashes to play around with wearing since I was so new to them! I thought I had a lash allergy and Catherine suggested we do a little test on my skin. It was at that point that I learned it was lash glue I was allergic to and not lashes! They made sure to have special non-adhesive glue for me on my wedding day and I was so happy to wear lashes which heightened my look! It is the care and attention such as that, which made Windy City Glam such a joy to work with. Our makeup artist Celeste, did an incredible job on my bridesmaids, mother, and my make up. Celeste perfectly enhanced our natural diverse beauty while ensuring each look was timeless and elegant. She was so kind and patient and I could not have asked for a better artist to work with on a wedding day which can feel a bit nerve wracking. I felt myself and my party were in really good hands the entire time which was such a gift. Celeste really made sure to check in with all of us as she was doing our makeup to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. Windy City Glam go above and beyond to share skin care tips to look your best, kindly remind brides and bridesmaids the reality of choosing inspiration pics that looks like us, and made sure the day of the Wedding that we all looked exactly as we wanted. And we truly did! The professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. This truly made my Wedding day even more memorable and I will forever adore and remember how beautiful we felt and looked on this day as I look back on pictures. I highly recommend Windy City Glam for anyone seeking exceptional bridal makeup services.

Pin Me Up Chicago 

4.9

  • Starts at $75 per person
  • Serves Des Plaines, IL

Pin Me Up Chicago is a one-stop picturesque hair and makeup agency. Since 2009 we’ve been captivating the beauty industry with the most elite artists in the city. With over 2500+ happy brides and counting, Pin Me Up strives to provide exceptional services regardless of the occasion. From weddings to showers to everything in between, we have you covered!

I chose Pin Me up Chicago basically because when I started reaching out to individual artists, I realized the price of them was getting way outside my budget. I didn't realize how expensive Hair & make Up would cost in the city of Chicago. I found PinMeUp from a friend referral and she had all positive things to say. I appreciated the lower cost and ability to pick specific services. They were very accommodating when I had to change my trials last minute due to a family emergency which I very much appreciated, and Jennifer, the primary contact, would respond in an efficient amount of time and would update the contract as I added and removed certain services which was nice to not be fully locked in as things changed. I ultimately chose them because of that more affordable cost. However, with a cheaper cost does create drawbacks. You don't get a say in who does your hair and makeup, and you can't see their work in advance, and they don't allow you to speak to them directly post the trial. At my trial, my make up artist, Mimi, was certainly skilled and you can tell as been doing this awhile. I do appreciate that she took my feedback and would adjust. Between the trial and the wedding, she really did take that feedback and knocked it out of the park at the wedding. My make up lasted all day, and she was even able to cover a vitiligo spot on my chest so it is barely noticeable. If given a choice, I would say you should ask for Mimi! She did a great job with my bridesmaids as well and could add glam when needed and also very light make up when requested. For my hair, I actually only had small feedback post trial, but she really struggled day of the wedding. I'm not sure what happened but it took an hour longer than it should have, my extension didn't stay hooked in so I had to fix them, and all the curl completely fell out in one hour and I had to recurl it prior to the ceremony. I don't love my hair from the wedding and I'm hoping over the years it won't bother me so much. She did however so great with my bridesmaids so I am not sure what happened with my bridal hair. Ultimately, you get a little of what you pay for, so if I could go back in time, I might have gone with a hair stylist that I knew could do the style that I wanted and just accepted the cost. Overall, it is a good budget friendly option for hair and make up.

Everyone's hair, from the moms to the bridesmaids, looked absolutely beautiful. Kim was incredibly responsive and adjusted anything I requested. I couldn't have asked for a better stylist to help make our special day feel even more perfect.

Shannon O'Brien 

5.0

  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $1,000 per person
  • Serves Des Plaines, 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.

Everyone felt exactly like I did about their makeup--they looked and felt beautiful and confident and felt that Nina was incredible to work with. Even my friends who do not usually wear any makeup loved working with Nina and felt that she really heard what they were asking for, and they all felt so beautiful! I am eternally grateful I was connected to Nina for my bridal makeup. If you have a chance to work with her, run don't walk! I will be using her for any event I need makeup for in the future!
