Timeless Beauty Studios Inc. 

5.0

  • Team of 5
  • Starts at $97
  • Serves McHenry, IL

Timeless Beauty Studios Inc. is a beauty & wellness studio that offers on-site beauty services and wellness programs that help brides shed unwanted pounds and build beauty from within. My signature Eat Pretty Lifestyle Programs consist of beauty detoxes, beauty meal plans, and workout routines.

The best part of the program is that Marci cares not just about how you look outwardly but, most importantly, about your mental health throughout the process. I received a few different guides that included recipes, questionnaires and educational information about the program. There’s a lot of information to retain but she was always available to guide me through the parts I was unsure about. She even grocery shopped with me on the phone to make sure I was getting the correct items. Having her close helped tremendously. But don’t be fooled, the hard work is on you. Get ready to change how you view food and dig into your relationship with it. In the end the lifestyle changes were necessary for me. I looked and felt amazing on my wedding day and have Timeless Beauty to thank for that!

I highly recommend Nina for your bridal and bridal party makeup! Nina is incredibly skilled and passionate about the work she does. She asks thoughtful questions to make sure she understands not just how you want to look on your wedding day, but how you want to feel as well. She has an unmatched ability to accentuate your natural features and make you feel like a completely polished and glowing version of yourself. Not to mention, her personality and spirit are contagious. I felt so comfortable throughout our trial, and Nina made it so easy to ask questions and collaborate on how I felt about each step. I personally wanted my makeup on the natural side, and Nina was able to give me the exact look I hoped for--glowy and radiant while still looking like myself. On the day of the wedding, my bridal party was raving about Nina as well. 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!

  • Serves McHenry, IL for additional fees

I loveee…LOVE ! I have been a big fan off sappy romance/rom-com movies ever since I was a little girl. I grew up watching all of the wedding TLC shows! And now I get to live that dream every weekend by helping you behind the scenes on your special day. It doesn’t even feel like a job to me, it just feels natural.

Alexis was amazing! She made my vision come to life, and she was so positive! My friend recommended her after Alexis did her hair for her wedding. I truly appreciate her work. One of my bridesmaids was anxious because curls never hold for very long and they stayed ALL NIGHT. I don’t know what magic she used but all I’m saying is book her!

Hi, I'm Danielle, I have been doing makeup for over 20 years! We are traveling, licensed and insured, professional makeup artists servicing Illinois and Indiana with prices starting at $80! Traveling Makeup Artists Specializing in Regular/Airbrushing, Bridal, and FX/Tattoo Coverage Makeup.

I loved how my girls and I looked on the day! Stunning work! However, I would just feel bad for future brides if I didn’t share that you need to be 100% on your timeline and # of people before you book. It is not an advantage to book early with them. Ended up paying about 6 services more than I used because of changes. I added a 4th artist and was totally fine with that fee her making a min of 5 services while keeping pay for all other artists as is, just bit the cost because that makes sense. However, my original contract with the owner had herself doing 5 people. When we added a second artist she was doing 4 but being paid for 5 to honor original contract. When going back to 5 she wanted me to pay again for that person, even though technically she was already being paid for 5 services and she was going to do 5 services…

I aim to maintain a standard of excellence with my clients when it comes to proper makeup application, customer service, communication and knowledge about makeup & skincare.

Charisse K was professional from beginning to end. It was easy to setup my makeup appointment for my wedding online. It was a two part appointment, one to test my wedding day makeup and the second was on the day of my wedding. At the first test appointment we discussed my look and colors and she was GREAT! I requested one change to my eye makeup and she delivered! On the day of my wedding she arrived early and set up with her chair, makeup and lights. She was efficient and pleasant to work with. She did my sisters makeup first and then mine all while working around my photographer who came to take photos. I have continued to use Charisse K for future events when I needed my makeup professionally done. I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so. If you want to ensure your makeup is done right, book with Charisse and you can relax knowing it will be done.
