Hi there! I’m Jacquee. I am a licensed esthetician and freelance makeup artist. I was trained in makeup artistry and hair design at Make Up First in Chicago. My esthetics training was completed at the Universal Spa Training Academy in Downers Grove. So now that we’ve got that out of the way let’s talk about what I can help you with! I’m well versed in all areas of makeup from beauty and bridal to commercial, theatrical, and even special effects. I’m just as comfortable working on a film set as I am working with my brides. I enjoy making people feel good about themselves and I put my all into everything I do.

I had such an amazing experience with the bridal beauty team!! The team was responsive, professional, and easy to work with. I went in to their Chicago studio for my makeup trial. Jeanette was fantastic - she looked at my inspo pics and asked me some questions and ended up giving me the natural, soft glam look I was envisioning! The day of experience was also great. I had two artists doing make-up for ten total women. They stuck to our schedule perfectly and were very professional when one of my ladies had very specific requests for her makeup. Everyone looked gorgeous! I highly recommend!!

Girlies, I am here to tell you as a June bride that booked Karen, if you’re second guessing yourself whether to book her or not, do it, trust me! I went through about 2 other MUA’s and as much as I wanted to look more my heart was settled with Karen and soon as she started working. Her work was just absolutely amazing. From a year before when I did my trial, to the day of my wedding there was some things we changed obviously being a nervous bride, and like always Karen listened, understood, was sweet, knowledgeable and an amazing MUA. Any other event I would without a doubt book her again. Her prices/ packages were super reasonable. Overall, I was incredibly happy with everything Karen did with her job.

We used Jaide and Co. Bridal Artistry for my August 2025 wedding, and I couldn’t have been happier with the results! Emily was our makeup artist for the big day, and she did an incredible job. She took her time with each person, making sure everyone felt beautiful and confident in their makeup. Not only was the quality amazing, but their services were also very affordable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Jaide and her team were also so communicative and flexible throughout the whole process of booking to the wedding date. I absolutely loved my bridal look! When I had my makeup trial with Emily back in March, I wasn’t entirely sure what style I wanted. The trial look was beautiful, but I realized it didn’t quite feel like “me.” On my wedding day, I showed Emily a new inspiration photo, and I completely trusted her to bring it to life, even though we hadn’t tried it before. She absolutely nailed it and I can truly say that I have never felt more beautiful!

Meraki Salon Services was a pleasure to work with for our wedding day beauty needs. They were quick to reply to our inquiries and easy to get in touch with, which made the planning process much smoother. On the day of, the quality of their work was great and the looks lasted beautifully throughout the entire event. They were also flexible in meeting us at our hotel to provide the services, which was incredibly convenient. We were able to treat our mothers to a hair and makeup moment and our bridal party loved the results and not having to worry about their looks for the day. Everyone felt beautiful and confident. While the final looks were still stunning, we felt they didn't fully understand our vision - the bridal hair trial didn't fully translate, and the bridal makeup ended up more neutral than the requested pinky/peach tones with less dramatic eye makeup than planned. Overall though, it was a great value and we were happy with how everything turned out.

I can’t speak enough about Jenna and her staff. From the date I made the initial outreach, they were responsive, helpful, and answered every question I had. The hair and makeup trial were meticulous, and Jenna addressed every comment I had so that on the big day, it was absolutely perfect. As a 53-year old “bride” renewing our wedding vows, I did not expect to look like a supermodel, but Jenna made me look and feel more beautiful than I ever dreamt possible. I included my daughter, nieces and close friends for hair and make up services and found Jenna and her team amazing in how they managed multiple needs for multiple individuals and kept us on schedule. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful from ages ranging from 16 to 55. I also opted for the bridal valet service, which I can’t recommend highly enough. With that service, Jenna stayed with me through the beginning of the reception to help straightening the train, holding flowers during pictures, touching up my make up, and overall keeping me calm, cool and collected.

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.

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!
