First of all I am not a hair person at all where I barely bother to comb my hair and rarely cut it, and to the point where I just cut it straight and trim it myself. My hair is usually stick straight and very boring. Any curling I do it becomes straight again shortly after, and usually falls flat or apart in a few hours. Angelica was amazing, my hair survived the Chicago heat and humidity on our August wedding date. We had a trial and she was able to put together 3 different hairdos in 45 minutes. It was so impressive how she is able to make the hair move and do what she wants. She is truly an artist, sculpting and creating such an authentic look with your hair. She just transports you to a different time and era. Her personality is so reflective of this as she is so gentle, genuine, and gracious. She arrived on time and is easy to talk to, get along with, and flexible. I felt so happy after the trial do that I hugged her and couldn't wait for her to do my hair for the wedding! I actually looked forward to it instead of dreading it. She is a natural genius and makes such a unique and classic look. I had so many compliments and the overall look was absolutely fitting for me and I felt stunning. What was impressive was that she created a different look for 5 other family members. She did this all herself without an assistant. She just exceeded my expectations and totally got me and family on the right mood and start for the wedding day. I couldn't be happier and would certainly recommend her to others.

This place is awesome. Our wedding venue was a two floor loft space full of salvaged architectural materials, antiques, and vintage decor. So, naturally, we wanted our wedding to have a "vintage" feel. Enter Tigerlilie Salon, the only salon in Chicago that specializes in vintage styling. First, let me say the whole group was great - I had to cancel my trial appointment/cut & color TWICE! And they never got snippy with me. I was a wreck. Way behind on everything, unorganized, and my health was not so great (immediately after my wedding I got very sick for two weeks with bronchitis that was very close to being pneumonia). So, yeah, I was a mess.
Cortnie was awesome. She transformed me into an old-hollywood screen siren, and kept me entertained with great conversation the whole time! The magic she worked with my hair and makeup had everyone I knew doing double-takes. And she was so genuine and easy-going. It was nice to have someone so relaxed around me during such a hectic time. I look forward to going back to see her for all my future haircuts and to treat myself to fun vintage style and some gorgeous eye makeup once in a while! Oh, did I mention she is a wizard with the highlights? BEST. HIGHLIGHTS. EVER.

Love it! I wanted a vintage up do that would last (I have thick hair) and I found it at Tigerlilie. I now use Angelica Rivera as my permeant hair stylist. She was fantastic at many types of hair and had very competitive pricing! Angelica aways makes me feel fantastic and was even willing to travel to my location. She did my up-do and all the girls and she airbrushed my make up! So wonderful! My up-do was perfect... it lasted the whole night. Check out their website for their portfolios!
