I simply cannot recommend them more highly or thank them enough. They made me (honestly all of us in the party, but this review is specifically from me/my point of view) feel like an absolute PRINCESS! I generally don’t like getting my hair and makeup done; it rarely feels like ME. That day she both made the experience and made me feel completely differently. I cannot thank them enough for the magical look and accompanying magical confidence that came with it. To be clear though, my gratitude doesn't stop there. I researched and received quotes from numerous vendors. Kiss This was not only the least expensive, but they went above and beyond to get to know me, my preferred styles and ideas, and everythinggggg else you could dream of ahead of time (I was coming from out of town so couldn't do a trial run). Even more, our stylist was LOVELY! We had so much fun with her! Not only can I not ask for more, but I couldn't even dream of a better experience. Genuinely, with all my heart and with all my gratitude, thank you.

After endless research for bridal makeup artists, Windy City Glam was the discovery that brought my wedding vision together. From our first conversation, Cat was open and comforting when it came to working with my sensitive skin, favorite makeup looks, and overall, elevating my Asian features. I didn't think it was possible to love my bridal look more than I did after my trial, but Cat truly outdid herself on the wedding day. I’m still in awe of how my makeup felt like a perfect reflection of my true self. The intentionality behind every detail made me feel so seen and speaks volumes to Cat’s expertise. Through all the tears, hugs, laughter, and dancing, my makeup not only continued to glow but also highlighted all the happiness and joy I felt. My sisters’ hair/makeup was also gorgeous and lasted all day. I cannot recommend Cat and Windy City Glam enough. They were a pleasure to work with and ensured that everything was well-organized, which made getting ready fun and seamless. I’m so grateful for how beautiful and confident they made me feel on such a meaningful day.

Eva and Maria from Hairs 2 the Bride, LTD truly saved the day for us! The night before our wedding, when our original makeup/hair artist had to cancel last minute, Eva and Maria stepped in and worked their magic. Despite their busy schedule, they managed to fit us in and did an exceptional job, making us look absolutely perfect on our special day. Their professionalism and skill were evident throughout the entire process. We were impressed by their attention to detail and how they listened to our preferences, ensuring that we felt comfortable and confident with the final look. Eva and Maria's ability to adapt to unexpected situations like ours is truly commendable. Although the last-minute change was a bit stressful, the seamless way in which Eva and Maria handled everything provided us with a sense of relief and confidence. The only neutral aspect we would mention is that due to the short notice, there wasn't much time for a trial session before the wedding. However, Eva and Maria's expertise and quick grasp of our style preferences made this a minor concern in the end. In the end, we couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Eva and Maria's professionalism, talent, and calm demeanor turned what could have been a crisis into a blessing in disguise. We are incredibly grateful for their amazing work and would highly recommend Hairs 2 the Bride, LTD to any couple looking for top-notch hair and makeup services for their big day.

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.

Nancy made me feel so comfortable, and listed and explained everything during my trial.

I was so worried because she was one of those “only a little of this and that” but Nancy did such an amazing job, my MOH was so happy!

I am a makeup artist located in Central IL specializing in bridal parties. I offer customized, beautiful, timeless and long-lasting makeup. I started doing wedding makeup in 2021. I truly love spending the morning of the big day hanging with the bride and all her special people and enhancing their natural beauty! There’s usually never a dull moment in the bridal suite!

Rachel was absolutely all around amazing. I personally am really picky when it comes to make up given that I and others in my bridal party can do really good make up. When hiring I wanted someone who would do better than what I could do. Rachel did not disappoint I felt like a queen on my wedding. One of my bridesmaid hasn’t let someone else do her make up in 10 years let Rachel. She was efficient I had 6 bridesmaids and 3 mothers and me to do. Not an easy task. She’s easy to work with and talk to. I would highly recommend Rachel for your special occasion. Pricing was more than reasonable as well.

Katie and the Ellvia Beauty team were an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day. From our first meeting, Katie was kind, thoughtful, and truly listened to understand my vision. Her communication style throughout the planning process was helpful, prompt, and put me at ease that everything would go smoothly. On the wedding day, Katie and her team made sure every detail was perfect - they even noticed and fixed small things I would never have thought of! The quality of their work shows in how they made me and my bridal party look and feel our absolute best. Katie and her team were better than I could have asked for - they made the day easy and stress-free for me and my family. I cannot recommend Ellvia Beauty highly enough for helping make our wedding day everything we dreamed of!

When I first got in contact with Cristal for my October wedding, I instantly knew she was my makeup/hair artist! We instantly became friends, and took the time to get to know me and my wedding vision! She was so fast to respond to any questions I had, as well as being so accommodating. Cristal was willing to go between locations and work with our timeline. We did a trial run, and loved the results along with great recommendations to where I could get the products if I loved them. The hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and I turned out amazing and lasted the whole day! Her artistry and how much she loves her work really shows through. I couldn't have asked for a better hair and makeup stylist to complete my wedding day!
