Iliana from the South Florida Team, was very sweet, professional, and attentive to detail. She took her time to make sure everything was perfect. It took a little time to get the hair the way I wanted it, but once she got it, it looked great and held up beautifully all night! I recommend doing a trial prior to the wedding and ensure the timeline has enough wiggle room for unforeseen events.

Jean absolutely crushed it with my hair and makeup!! She took the notes from my trial and completely elevated my look for my wedding day. I asked for a messy low bun with face framing pieces and pieces coming out of the bun and it held for the entire day. My hair is naturally very frizzy and she took extra care to make sure things stayed as smooth as possible throughout the day. My bridesmaids also had their hair done, and even though a lot of them had very smooth Asian hair, their curls kept for the entire night. I also LOVED make up - it made my skin look so glowy and didnt feel cakey at all. I would 100% Windy City Glam, especially if your wedding party has many different types of hair types and skin colors!!

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.

I am very glad I chose to work with Mari & Ash for my wedding hair and makeup! They were very organized and responsive when I needed to schedule my trial and plan for the wedding day itself. We had 10 women that needed hair and makeup done, and we stayed ahead of schedule all morning. Not only did they achieve the look I wanted, but they were very kind and fun people to have around while getting ready for the big day. I wanted to have my natural curls in my half-up/half-down look, and the final style incorporated that perfectly. Both Mari and Ash were also able to make minor changes from the trial to the wedding day to match my vision/adjust to a longer hair length than I originally anticipated. My look lasted through dinner and LOTS of dancing. Thank you MXA!

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!
