What a Wonderful Experience

My biggest fear with hiring artists for my wedding was that my friends and I wouldn't look like ourselves. The Total Image Bridal Team blew away my expectations in terms of how natural the makeup could look. I have never felt so beautiful as I did on my wedding day and my bridesmaids, mom and mother-in-law all looked stunning. Carla did my hair so perfectly; she was flexible and made me so comfortable as she tweaked it a few times until we got it exactly how I wanted. Lexi and Brittany did the most beautiful makeup on all of us. I didn't have to worry at all how I looked, because I knew I looked amazing! Well done, team!

Amazing!!!

Carla did hair and makeup for my mom and I for my brother’s wedding. She was so much fun to work with. She made us both feel beautiful and special. It was fun to hang out with her while she worked her magic on us! She was on time, professional, creative, and flexible! We received so many compliments too! Thank you so much!!

I loved everyone at Total Image Bridal!

Christa was so wonderful. I was a pretty picky bride and didn't quite know how to articulate what I was looking for, but Christa worked with me and helped me figure out what I was looking for. The entire team helped me feel so beautiful.

I have to mention how efficient they were too! We had 6 girls getting their makeup and hair done. I was a bit worried about the time, but we finished with time to spare! Everyone loved the way their hair and makeup turned out.

Thank you Total Image Bridal!

Awesome Experience! Highly recommend!

I had my wedding back in October of this year. I saw all the great reviews on weddingwire and reached out to TIB. I was responded to really quickly. I believe it was Christa who responded. I explained that I was late to booking hair and makeup and wanted to see if they had availability to come to my parent's home and do hair and makeup for 10 women. She quickly got back to me saying they had a big enough crew to accommodate my needs and were really excited to be a part of my special day. Whatta relief!
I went in for a trial and Brenda and Cathy were amazing and super sweet and fast and had a lot of great suggestions and helped me find a look that was perfect for me and my dress. They listened to what I want and nailed it! Not to mention that they were both super easy to talk to and super enthusiastic about hearing about my wedding and you could tell they loved what they do and are really talented at it too.
Since we had a big party getting ready on the wedding day, Total Image sent over 4 stylists (2 hair and 2 makeup- Brenda, Cathy, Maggie, and Carla) who all arrived on time/early and with great attitudes and really made me feel special on my day. Everyone felt so at ease because they had everything under control and it was like I was getting ready with 4 new girlfriends! My wedding party all felt the same and expressed at different times how unstressful of a wedding morning it was.
They even got done early and so my wedding party had time to relax, chat, eat and catch our breaths before the rest of the busy day.

I thought their prices were super fair especially in comparison to other places in my city (for reference, my wedding was just outside Chicago).
I had such a wonderful experience and I would HIGHLY recommend their services if you are looking for a no fuss, fun. and super professional experience on your wedding day.
Thanks so much Total Image Bridal!

Total image bridal was very friendly

We had a small bridal party with only five getting hair and 4 getting make up done. The 2 girls that came were very friendly, professional and listened to what everyone wanted. They were patient when pulling up pictures and showing examples. Everyone was very pleased with how their hair and makeup turned out, everyone looked great! They helped make my day very enjoyable and I would definitely recommend them!

Lucky Last Minute

Super happy with my experience working with Total Image Bridal! I booked them so last minute (luckily my wedding was on a Thursday in November) but still they did a great job and were so accommodating. Felt beautiful and cared for. Makeup lasted all day and was exactly what I asked for.

Loved them!!

Christa and her team were fantastic!
They traveled to us and even helped with the flower girls hair. My ring bearer fell and bumped his head and had a big bruise on his forehead. Christa made sure to cover the bruise for me, so I would have flawless wedding day pictures.

Fun, Professional and Attentive

Our hair artist Carla was the coolest ever and made all the ladies and myself feel like super stars. If I could have had her stay to party with us I would have. The hair and make up team were punctual and super professional and I would recommend them to everyone whether a wedding or just want to be dolled up.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
