Wedding Hair & Makeup in Illinois

Rachel is the absolute best! She takes her time to make sure you feel so beautiful on your special day. She is also very knowledgeable about makeup and also has a list of other makeup artists in case you have a bigger party. She made me and my bridesmaids feel so beautiful and confident. She truly is such a joy to be around and is so talented!

The hair and makeup team at Pin Me Up was absolutely amazing. Jessica, my makeup artist, made sure I loved every part of my look during my trial and was more than happy to adjust anything I wasn’t completely sold on. Dana even hopped on a call with me after my first trial to make sure everything was looking exactly the way I envisioned, which I appreciated so much. The responsiveness, communication, professionalism, and kindness from every team member were incredible throughout the entire process. They made me feel completely comfortable and confident, even going into my wedding day hair appointment without having done a trial beforehand. Despite not having a hair trial, my hair turned out absolutely phenomenal, and I could not have been happier with the final look. Pin Me Up also offered the best pricing for touch-ups during the wedding day, which was such a huge plus. Truly could not recommend a better hair and makeup team for your wedding day!

Julie is very professional, personable and makes sure you are comfortable with everything. Julie knows the ins and outs of all of her products and will make sure that it is the best look for you! My wedding makeup lasted all day with no touch ups! Her work is absolutely flawless! I received so many compliments. I cannot recommend her enough!

Elana and Monika were the dynamic duo! They worked together so seamlessly the day of our vow renewal. They are professional, experienced, and so pleasant to work with. On the day of my trial, I described my hair style to Monika, and she was able to visualize what I wanted and recreated it exactly like I imagined, if not better. Elana also created a beautiful look, which brought tears of joy when I first saw my finished makeup in the mirror. She color matched my airbrush make-up perfectly to my skin tone and matched the right lashes and makeup style to the look I was going for, as well. On the day of our event, both ladies finished in good time. Their positive energy filled the room, which helped create a very calm and peaceful morning before the big event. My hair and makeup stayed in place all day and all night, and even until the next morning! I woke up, feeling like a movie star! :) Thank you for everything. I could not imagine doing what you do. You both are true artists with a skill set I would not be able to attempt.

Review from my wife - Audrey did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and she was wonderful! I know absolutely nothing about hairstyling or makeup and she was so helpful and patient, both during the preview and the day of the wedding. She was very responsive to inquiries, and accommodating about my timeline and the fact that I was out of state. She is really knowledgeable, but also listened to find out what I was looking for and then was able to match that to what she thought would look good on me. The day of the wedding, she and Natasha were again really helpful and patient, which was great, as most of the party had little experience with formal hair and makeup. They also made getting ready more fun and less stressful. Everybody was ready on time and looked lovely! I would very much recommend Chicago Hair and Makeup Professionals, and I appreciated all their help!

Tamara’s team was truly exceptional in preparing the bridal party for the big day. They brought a perfect blend of calm, joy, and artistry—effortlessly transforming each of us into runway-ready beauties. Sabrina, our lead stylist, radiated warmth and incredible energy—always upbeat, flexible, and focused on keeping the atmosphere stress-free. Dana, the lead makeup artist, impressed us all with her expertise and thoughtful approach, tailoring each look to complement individual skin tones and styles. The advance consultation with my daughter and me proved invaluable. It gave the team a clear sense of our vision. With the support of their talented assistants, everything flowed seamlessly—and we stepped into the ceremony feeling confident, radiant, and relaxed.

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!!

Wow - I cannot put into words how amazing Antonette and her whole team are. I had a large bridal party (11 girls) and Antonette and her team were so flexible and efficient. Booking my Hair and Makeup vendor was what I was most concerned about. I wanted to make sure the price was within my budget without sacrificing the outcome of the glam. Antonette and her team could not have been better. I was lucky that I knew of quite a few girls that had used Antonette’s team for their weddings prior and was blown away at how good the HMU was every single time. At my trial, I fell even more in love with Antonette and Theresa with the magic they worked. Not only are they magicians at hair and makeup, they were also able to help me figure out a weird patch of skin issues I had on my back that I was able to get cleared up before the wedding day. Antonette, Theresa, Samm, Amanda, Keziah, and Melissa were the absolute dream team. They made each one of us from bride to bridesmaids, MOB/MOG, and flower girls feel so beautiful. It’s rare to find a glam team that is able to do 16 hair services and 14 makeup services and have every single one be perfect. Truly magicians. They are the exact type of hype girls that you want to get you excited for your day of as well. Could not recommend this team any more.

Carrie Novak of Appease is an excellent hair and makeup artist and has a team of talented professionals with her. They are reasonable, flexible and understood our needs. We were very happy with the services received from Appease!
