Hello, congratulations on your upcoming wedding. My name is Hannah and I am an independent on site hairstylist with a passion for formal styling. I have been a licensed cosmetologist since 2013, working behind the chair in Peoria salons. In 2021 I moved back to my hometown of Streator, got married and started a family. With all of my life changes I am excited to focus my career solely on weddings. I can't wait to make you feel beautiful on your special day.

“Hannah did an absolutely beautiful job on my wedding hair. She was communicative and utilized my reference images exactly as I’d hoped. She asked me for my input through the whole process to make sure my hair was exactly how I wanted it. She was a joy to chat with as we got ready and brought so much positive energy. She provides an excellent quality of work and her pricing is extremely reasonable. Absolutely recommend her for your wedding hair needs!

“I am so, so appreciative of Cat and the team she assigned to my wedding. Cat was so understanding and lovely throughout my process. I'm pretty natural - I'm not terribly into makeup and the girly things in life so getting dolled up for my wedding took some getting used to! Lenee was a total pro with my hair along with my mother, MIL, and three friends. She was so patient and listened to what each of us wanted, and executed perfectly. She was also so lovely during my trial and to have in my suite the morning of the wedding. Amanda was our makeup artist and did she rise to the occasion! She was my third makeup trial and she nailed it. She gave me great advice ahead of time on how my makeup would lay better on my face. I did as she suggested and it really made a difference. We had a few others on the day of who had challenging skin and she also nailed it. She was so much fun to chat with and have around.

Within 24 hours of first messaging Erica (the owner), she met with me in person to discuss my vision, and got a makeup/hair trial scheduled. She even ordered and expedited matching hair extensions so that I could wear my dream style in time for my wedding! Erica did my makeup and SJ styled my hair; both looks lasted all night long and I truly felt like a princess. I received compliments such as, "stunning" and "breathtaking". Rachelle also helped with hair/makeup for my bridesmaids and their appearances held up just as nicely.
