I used One Salon & Bridal for my wedding day hair and make up for me and 15 others! Everybody at One Salon & Bridal was extremely helpful and communicative!! From day 1, I felt like I was in good hands for my wedding hair and make up. The team was willing to make things work - however I needed them to work! For example, we didn't know at first if we would get ready at the salon or my venue but I was able to talk things out with Michelle and we came up with an action plan to get everybody ready in time! I was able to have a few of our close family members get hair and make up done with us, because the salon had all hands on deck for my wedding day! It was great working with everybody and I am so thankful for how easy they made this process! My hair and make up held up ALL night long and I felt so beautiful!! Thank you all :)

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alyssa Lynn was always super quick to respond and super nice throughout the entire process from start to end. Her artist, Natalie from Alyssa Lynn Makeup did my make up for my wedding day (Aug 31, 2024) and the work she did was phenomenal! She was able to hide my stress acne and I got soooo many compliments and my entire bridal party loved their looks too! Natalie was super relaxed which is just what I needed as the wedding day nerves kicked in. From the moment I sat in the makeup chair I was able to relax. She was great at making any adjustments we wanted as well. Everyone said my makeup held up nicely throughout the entire day and I am in love with every picture I've took. I seriously wish she could do my makeup everyday as she really helped make me feel stunning. Highly recommend!

With over 19 years in the beauty industry I am blessed to still love what I do! My specialty is classic, romantic bridal hairstyling and it brings me enthusiasm to be a part of a couples special day! I hope you can become one of my future beautiful, and “Joyful Brides”!

Joyful Brides was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day! From the moment I reached out, her communication was fast, helpful and responsive. She was always respectful and went above and beyond to make sure my hair and makeup look was absolutely perfect. My hair stayed in place all night, even after the wedding! They also took on an extra bridesmaid at the last minute with no issues or questions - they were just so amazing to work with. The quality of their work and value was truly amazing. I cannot recommend Joyful Brides enough to any couple planning their wedding!

Stefanie did an amazing job with my bridal hair and makeup, as well as the makeup for my mom and two of my bridesmaids!

  • Team of 8
  • Starts at $125
  • Serves McHenry, IL

I am a professional freelance makeup artist, airbrush-trained, and have been serving the Chicagoland and Northwest suburbs since 2020. I specialize in bridal, commercial, and special event makeup to meet any of your beauty needs. My expertise lies in creating stunning neutral and full glam looks, and I have talented artists on my team who specialize in soft glam as well. Whether you're preparing for your big day or a special occasion, my team and I are here to help you look and feel your best.

I highly recommend XV GLAM by anahirealmua for bridal makeup services. Anahi was extremely prompt and thorough in her communication throughout the planning process, which I greatly appreciated during the hectic wedding season. Most importantly, the quality of work by her artists (Pierena-makeup & Lorena-hair) was just beautiful - long lasting yet natural looking, and brought my vision for a soft glam bridal look to life perfectly. The artists were also very flexible and willing to travel to my getting ready location. They helped make me feel calm, confident and truly glamorous on my wedding day. I couldn't have asked for better beauty professionals and would recommend XV Glam to any bride looking for exceptional services and gorgeous, timeless makeup application.

Hi I am a licensed cosmetologist and a certified makeup artist i am also certified in airbrush makeup I have work with several bridal companies but finally want to do something for myself I have also worked with Asian/Indian/Pakistani brides

I had a lovely experience with Beauty Professional for my wedding day hair and makeup. Their communication was easy over text. The quality of work from Beauty Professional was beautiful and seamless. My bridal makeup looked flawless and was exactly the vision I had described to them. My bridesmaids also looked stunning with their hair and makeup done by Beauty Professional. I received so many compliments from guests on how lovely my makeup looked in photos and in person. Overall I would highly recommend Beauty Professional for your wedding hair and makeup needs. Their artists do beautiful work though and contributed very positively to making me feel like a gorgeous bride on my special day.

Shannon O'Brien 

5.0

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

Shannon O’Brien is a Godsend. I say this literally and figuratively. I was never a bride’s “Bride,” in that I didn’t have any thoughts about my wedding before I became engaged. Once the process started, my biggest concern was makeup. After having many bad experiences as a bridesmaid (all 200 times), I was very nervous about my "bridal look." Who doesn’t want to feel comfortable on their wedding day? I stumbled across Shannon’s Instagram page (shoutout to @Shannicat), and aside from her being the most fashionable and upbeat person, her brides all looked fantastic and most importantly, NATURAL. I knew I had to reach out. Sadly, I received the email that every bride dreads-- she was booked. Of course she was. Her talent is a known fact in the Chicago area. I was crushed, but I started the process of make-up trials with other makeup artists. While they were all very nice, I left each time feeling like a typical bride. No one was able to capture who I was without changing my features. I didn’t feel “special” or beautiful and something just didn’t sit right. Months passed, panic ensued, and the heavens opened: Shannon O’Brien was now available for my wedding. Instantly, I went to contract—no trial runs, no questions asked. I was so confident in this decision that I didn’t even schedule my first trial until 2 months before my wedding—me, the most type A individual, went on blind faith up until the finish line. Once I met Shannon, I knew I made the right decision. She opened the door with a huge smile on her face, assuring me that I would look exactly how I had envisioned. I showed her 3 photos, at most, and left the rest up to her. By time she had finished, I felt amazing. She enhanced my features, made me feel beautiful, and most importantly, I still looked like me! On the morning of the wedding, there was a common theme in the room: Everyone loved Shannon O’Brien. Bridesmaids were raving about her. No one asked for changes (how unheard of is that with 12 bridesmaids and two mothers?) Everyone gravitated to her station to watch her work, myself included. She made the entire group feel at ease between her relaxed demeanor and her uncanny ability to listen and capture everyone’s beauty. For the girls who wanted a natural look, she achieved it. For those that wanted a more done up look, she made it happen while still making them look classic and elegant. She was and IS an absolute dream come true. To give more weight to my confidence in Shannon, I ended up paying extra so that she would stick around for almost the entire evening. I knew there would be a lot of happy tears shed and touch ups would be a must, and I was right. Every time I went back to the room for Shannon to re-glamorize me, she celebrated with me, told me to take in the evening, and sent me back out reminding me of just how perfect this evening was. And she was right. Hiring Shannon was easily the best decision that I made throughout this wedding planning process. Although I didn’t know it then, she was truly the glue that helped keep it all together. She allowed me to look and feel my best self, and because of this, I was able to not let anything else get in the way of what was certainly the start to a lifetime of memories. I cannot recommend Shannon enough. She is one of the most talented and delightful individuals, and I look forward to hiring her for every big life event I, hopefully, have coming my way. Thank you, Shannon!
