They create beautiful hair and makeup styling, offer facials, and do manicures and pedicures for a complete experience. With multiple licensed stylists available, Hairs 2 the Bride will work with groups of up to 50+ people.

“We are so grateful to have had "Hairs 2 the Bride" for our wedding on September 21, 2024! From start to finish, they were fantastic. I went to a hair and makeup trial before the wedding, and both Eva and Maria were incredibly warm, friendly, and professional. They took the time to really listen to what I was looking for and made sure everything was perfect. I felt so comfortable with them, and they made the trial fun and relaxing. On the wedding day, we decided to add Natalia to the team after discussing with the owner, and it turned out to be the best decision. Having an additional stylist really helped speed up the process, and everything ran so smoothly as a result. They brought everything they needed, including lighting, and set up in no time. They were punctual, organized, and ready to get started as soon as we arrived at the venue. Throughout the morning, Eva, Maria, and Natalia were a joy to be around. They kept the whole group on time without making it feel rushed, which was such a relief with all the wedding-day chaos. They were also fun to talk to and kept the mood light, which made the getting-ready process so enjoyable. I had a bit of a rash on my shoulder that day, and I was really concerned about it. But the team worked their magic and expertly covered it – I couldn’t even tell it was there! They also added on makeup services for my mother-in-law at the last minute, which was so thoughtful. My mother-in-law was absolutely thrilled with how she looked and felt so special. In the end, I felt absolutely stunning on my wedding day, and I have "Hairs 2 the Bride" to thank for that. They made me, my bridal party, and my family look and feel beautiful. I can’t recommend them enough – they’re not just talented professionals, but they genuinely care about making your day perfect!”

“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”

“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.”

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.

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.

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!

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.”

The makeup and hair they provided was not only beautiful, but also long-lasting throughout our entire wedding day. Their affordable services were worth every penny, as I felt confident and stunning. I'm so grateful to ielle Beauty for helping make our special day even more wonderful!”

“Gianna is absolutely amazing! Everyone needs a Gianna to do their makeup on their wedding day! She was so professional, kept everyone on schedule, and made sure we all had fun while she did it! I was feeling all the feelings the morning of my wedding, but getting to sit and have Gianna do my makeup, she kept me so calm and reminded me everything will go smoothly. All the other girls and my mom were also incredibly happy with how their makeup turned out! We all felt so beautiful, comfortable, and looked out best thanks to her! She is my (and now all of bridesmaids) go to girl for makeup! She is so talented, and it was such a pleasure having her! She is the sweetest and such personable girl, you can't go wrong with booking Gianna!”

Serves Des Plaines, IL

Erin Graham is a freelance hairstylist, educator, and consultant based in Chicago and working everywhere. The daughter of two 9-5 weekend warriors, no one really knows where Erin gets all of her creativity from. She got her start at a young age taking art classes, continuing to take classes in high school, moving on to college for a BFA in painting when after a few years she (funny story) discovered cosmetology school in 2007. Erin specializes in luxury en-suite + on-location hair services.

“Erin immediately made me feel comfortable from the first email to the final touches on my hair. She was receptive of initial ideas and feedback along the way, explained why some styles would or wouldn't work with my hair, and then talked me through her decisions during my trial. She made everyone smile, laugh, and love their hair. I recommend her though and through!”
