About Traveling Hair - Makeup Warriors

Traveling Hair - Makeup Warriors

Owner

I'm Holly Hair, owner of Traveling Hair - Makeup Warriors. For 40 years I have done hair and makeup, and I specialize in weddings. I come to you, wherever your party is getting ready. Hair and makeup each start at $175. I serve the Chicago area, from the Northwest suburbs and the Gold Coast to Naperville, and all the way up to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and the towns in between. Message me here to check your date. Let's help you shine your light on your big day?

Forty years of experience, from high-end salons to weddings all across the Chicago area, taught me exactly what each client needs to look and feel her best. Every look is personal: elegant updos, flawless makeup, and a calm, one-of-a-kind experience on your wedding morning. This isn't just my job, it's my passion, and it shows in every bride.

1 ) As soon as your date and venue are confirmed is the ideal time start your selection process and book your stylist. Think of this: the sooner you book, the better chance you have a securing your dream team! 2) I recommend booking 6 to 12 months in advance. 3) If your wedding is during peak season (like spring and summer, or early fall, especially Saturdays) you want to book even earlier, up to 12 to 18 months out. 4) Your trial session should typically be scheduled 1 to 3 months before the wedding.
I want to help you understand your comfort level and personal style, which is crucial for creating a look you love and makes you feel like yourself! It also gives the stylist an idea of how much glam you are used to, and how much you are willing to experiment for your big day.
This helps the artist understand the aesthetic of the entire event, ensuring the hair and makeup perfectly complements the dress, venue , and overall atmosphere.
This question is super practical. It immediately helps the artist determine the timeline and requirements for the day. It will help determine if you need additional artists, and whether the schedule is realistic. It's key for planning the actual day-of services.
Knowing your budget up front helps us recommend suitable packages, artist, or look that fit your financial comfort zone. It's a practical question and helps avoid any awkward surprises down the line.
This helps the artist understand personal boundaries and preferences.
Keep your stylist updated and everything will work out for the best. You and our artist don't want any surprises, plus it helps us understand the current state of your hair, anticipate any timing for touch-ups or new styles, and advise on the best schedule for the appointments to ensure the color and cut are fresh and settled for the wedding day. It's about timing everything perfectly!

    Holly is a true credit to her profession.

    Holly is a truly amazing stylist! A friend recommended her to me after he heard me constantly complain about the bad cuts I was getting from the countless other barbers, salons, stylists, I had visited over the course of over 15 years. No one could ever seem to get it right! I always seemed to walk away frustrated and disappointed with my cut. That all changed when Holly started cutting my hair. She figured out exactly how to work with what I had, which isn’t much, and over time my hair started looking great! I highly recommend her services to anyone. She is a talented stylist and a true credit to her profession.

    Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It truly makes my day to know you're so happy with your hair, and I'm thrilled that one of my clients sent you my way. I loved working with you and can't wait to see you again soon.
