Amazing Glam Team!!

My experience with Rare Bird Beauties was perfect—enjoyable, stress-free, and made me feel beautiful. I inquired with many hair and makeup companies in Chicago and the first interactions I had with Rare Bird Beauties really made them stand out. They are bride-focused and will help you achieve exactly what you want on your wedding day. RBB created a detailed timeline, which was amazing considering we had a large wedding party to work with.
The trial experience with them was great and I had full trust in their skills and experience for the day of. I also got custom extensions from Rare Bird Beauties and it was a great decision! You couldn’t tell I had them in—they matched perfectly and really helped the style hold throughout the day.

Shout out to Courtney for my makeup and Anastasia for my Hollywood waves! Konstantin and Laura were incredible as well, and I was really impressed by the whole team for being so organized and doing hair & makeup for 13 people.
My hair and makeup both lasted all day and well into the evening as we danced the night away! Thank you to the entire team for making us all feel so beautiful!

Highly Recommend

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Rare Bird Beauties. We were lucky enough to be connected with Ioana and Jen and I highly recommend them both. They really listened at my original trial and were very flexible throughout the process. I wanted a natural makeup look and I felt like Ioana made that happen. For hair I was indecisive and Jen showed me two looks (similar but different) and gave me to time I needed to make up my mind.
They really helped make me, my mom, and my sisters look and feel beautiful! All 5 of us had only great things to say about our own hair and makeup and each others. If you are in search of a great team, I highly recommend going with Rare Bird Beauties.

Great and professional team

We used RBB for our downtown chicago, two-bride wedding. We had a unique situation with two brides & no bridal party, so our HMUAs were for us & for our family (moms, sisters & grandmas). We had our lead hair & makeup, and two secondary hair & makeup, which allowed our schedule to start later in the morning. Everyone loved their hair and makeup - all of our artists hit it out of the park! We also had one sister who went pretty “out there” with a dark blue sparkly 80s inspired hair & makeup, and the secondary HMUAs took the unusual prompt and delivered with an incredible look. They also did amazingly with our grandmas, really listening to what our grandmas were requesting so that they felt super special & beautiful for the day.
Specifically, we had Jules for makeup and she was AMAZING - we couldn’t recommend her more highly. The makeup was beautiful in person and in photos, and at the end of the night I got so many compliments about how the makeup hadn’t budged at all - and it truly hadn’t! We did a makeup trial with Jules which was great to make sure we loved our makeup. Both of us had very simple hair, so we opted against a hair trial, but it turned out perfectly on the day of. During our research, RBB was pretty on par with other HMUA teams in terms of cost, and they absolutely delivered in value. We’d recommend them to any couple, and especially if both people in the couple are wanting HMUA services!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
