Highly recommend!
Fearless and Bella did my makeup/hair for my wedding (and did makeup hair for my bridesmaids as well) and i truly cannot recommend them highly enough!!! I felt like my makeup was absolutely perfect and hair was literally a dream - they did such an incredible job with everyone truly. We got so many compliments and they were all SO wonderful to work with !!! I highly, highly recommend this team for beauty needs!!!! -

If I could give future brides any piece of advice, it would be to book Fearless and Bella RIGHT NOW. Nancy is an absolute dream to work with, and she and her team made me feel beyond beautiful on my wedding day.
I showed up to my trial completely unprepared (don't recommend this lol) with like one picture of me at a previous wedding and three random Pinterest makeup photos. Nancy and Jenny didn't even bat an eye, they just jumped in and started working. And somehow, without having anything to go off of, they completely nailed it. I was FLOORED. It was such a privilege to not have to worry at all about hair and makeup in those final, stressful weeks of wedding planning.
Fast forward to wedding day. We had 9 hair and 8 makeup services, so it was definitely a big morning and I was a little nervous when I walked in. Having the Fearless and Bella team in the room felt like having 4 more lifelong friends to get ready with. They made us laugh, jammed to our playlist with us, and made everyone feel at ease while literally working their butts off. I had everyone in my party decide their own HMU directions, so they truly tackled 9 unique, custom looks. Seeing everyone's personalities shine through was one of the most special parts of the day for me. And on top op that, Nancy and Jenny just absolutely crushed my bridal look and made all my glittery glam dreams come true. The single note I had from my trial was that my eyelids were proving to be oilier than I realized, so after hours of wear I noticed some melting. I have no idea what kind of magic expertise Nancy wields, but when I tell you that on my wedding day I sweat, cried, ran around, pet dogs, danced my face off, and took wedding portraits IN THE RAIN and that ish DID NOT MOVE... sorcery.
For me, booking with with Fearless and Bella meant feeling heard, celebrated, guided, confident, comfortable, gorgeous, and so so happy. I could not recommend them more!!!!!

Hyunji Sent on 12/16/2022Nancy is amazing; don't hesitate to book fearless&Bella now!
Nancy at Fearless & Bella was so amazing to work. During our very first phone consult, she was patient in answering all my questions and wonderful to contract with. During the make up trial, we experimented with a few things (individual and strip lash) and she took photos with her nice camera to see how it would look in photos. She's also a brow gal so I went into her studio to get my brows perfectly done before the wedding. And of course on the getting ready during the morning of the wedding was all smooth thanks to Nancy. First of all her skills are amazing she made me feel beautiful with the make up that lasted the whole wedding. And more importantly she is just a kind human! Choosing a make up artist is so important because it is the FIRST vendor you encounter with on your wedding day. She was such a calming and kind presence. 5/5 would definitely recommend Nancy!!! -

Laura Sent on 09/26/2022All the love for Fearless & Bella
I had a wonderful experience working with Nancy and Fearless and Bella for my July 2022 wedding. Nancy was very easy and pleasant to communicate with, and prompt with her email responses. Her google forms were helpful for me to organize and share inspiration photos and my ideas for my wedding day look. We did a trial 2 months before the wedding, which was so key to helping me understand how to describe what I was looking for. She was flexible and adaptable to makeup changes I wanted between the trial and wedding day.
When it came to the day, I could not have been happier with my hair and makeup. I had asked her to do a more natural, glowy look for my makeup - and she nailed it. It was also my first time using hair extensions, and I'm so glad I did. She blended the extensions into my half up/half down look, they held the entire day and night, and definitely made my hair hold a wavy curl for way longer than it usually would. I am still receiving compliments on my wedding day hair!
My bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law, were all very happy with their looks as well. Done up, but not overdone. They all looked stunning thanks to the Fearless and Bella team! And we had the best morning getting ready. I would recommend Fearless and Bella to anyone looking for their hair and makeup wedding day vendor.

Fearless and Bella did such an amazing job with hair and makeup for my wedding. They were able to give me exactly what I wanted and made me and my wedding party look amazing! Also they were on time and we ended up ready a little early which is so important on a wedding day. I will be sure to recommend them to all my family and friends! -

I used Fearless & Bella for my wedding make up and hair. Nancy and her team did a wonderful job - they were punctual, quick to set up and had everything needed. All my bridesmaids looked beautiful and my hairdo + make up was perfect. Highly recommend Nancy and her team! -

Nancy is such a pleasure to work with! I had a vague idea of what I wanted to do for my wedding, and she went above and beyond what I had in mind. She and her team did amazing work getting all of the women involved in my day ready (even ahead of schedule!) I highly recommend her to anyone that wants their hair and makeup done right! -

Nancy and her team made all of my wedding party GLOW with radiance and enhanced natural beauty. I have known Nancy for quite some time and have always wanted her to do makeup for my wedding. Mary did an excellent job on my hair, and Nancy made me look beautiful. My husband definitely cried when he saw me! Thank you, Fearless and Bella! -

Jessica Sent on 05/27/2021Never Felt So Beautiful!
I had the pleasure of working with Nancy, Madison & Kimberly for hair and makeup for my wedding. From the start, Nancy and her team were amazing to work with.
As someone who hasn't had the greatest experience with getting my hair and makeup done in the past, I went into my trial a bit nervous - especially since I am particular about my naturally curly hair. The trial was done at my house (super convenient) and I could not have been happier with the outcome. Madison did my hair, Nancy did my makeup and both exceeded my expectations. They were friendly, listened to any changes I wanted, and overall completely executed the look I was going for.
The day of the wedding, I had 8 girls get their hair and makeup done and the process was absolutely seamless. All 3 of them were efficient, easy to talk to, and did an amazing job on EVERYONE. It was an incredibly relaxing and enjoyable morning, and that is how every bride should feel on their wedding day. -

I booked Fearless & Bella for my wedding hair and makeup and couldn’t be more thrilled with how everything turned out! Nancy (makeup) and Mary (hair) were both lovely to work with and really professional. Both were extra careful with sanitation of all tools and diligent about mask-wearing and hand-washing. Both really took the time to listen to me and my bridal party/moms about what we wanted our looks to be and what level of comfort we have with makeup or hair styles. Everyone had a little bit different styles and requests and F&B went above and beyond making it happen for each of us. Even my mother-in-law, who hasn’t even worn mascara (!), was thrilled with the makeover! Fearless & Bella truly made me look the best I have ever looked and were really accommodating in scheduling both the trials and day-of services. Prices are super reasonable for the level of care and professionalism! I highly recommend Nancy & her team for any beauty needs you may find yourself wanting in the future! -

Nancy and her Team at Fearless and Bella are the exact people you want to hire for your wedding! Nancy the owner is who you book with. She is kind, professional and responsive, everything you want when planning a wedding. The planning portal she uses is easy to use, and her payment system is very convenient! My make-up artist was Madison. She came to my house for the trial and was so nice and easy to work with. I never felt intimidated to ask her to change something I didn't like. After that night I texted her a couple I things I wanted tweaked, and on my wedding day my make-up was everything I wanted it to be. I have never felt more beautiful than I did that day. On top of that all of my girls looked stunning! Madison was so nice and fun to be around too! I would recommend Fearless and Bella to anyone getting married! -

Sierrah Sent on 10/31/2019Amazing experience!
I reached out to Nancy regarding hair and make-up for my engagement pictures and I am so happy I did! Nancy worked with everything I needed/ wanted including multiple time changes for the session without question. Kim was my artist and she came directly to my hotel room. She was so knowledgable and personable. I am so happy with how everything turned out! If I was getting married in the area I would definatly book these ladies! Thank you Fearless and Bella! -

Nancy and her team were so accommodating! We added a few extra bridesmaids for makeup at the last minute and Nancy reworked the schedule so quickly for us. She also answered all of my questions and concerns! For my trial, the artists came to my house which was really convenient. I loved my final look, and my mom and bridesmaids were really happy too. I would absolutely recommend Fearless & Bella! -

Nancy from Fearless and Bella is amazing! Her team and herself have done the best makeup I’ve ever had. Not only is she talented but she is professional, punctual, and very sweet! They helped make the time of my life experience come to light. If you want great makeup and great service here in the Chicagoland area this is who to go to! -

Veronica Sent on 07/24/2019So easy and so wonderful
I didn't know where to begin for wedding hair and makeup, since all of my friends had their weddings outside of Chicago. Nancy and the Fearless and Bella team were amazing. Nancy is fantastic to work with. Super friendly and responsive. She set us up with one makeup artist and one hair stylist but explained to me what kind of changes in our lineup would merit adding more. The pricing is really fair and the quality of her team's work is amazing. I worked with Mary and Marjorie and they are INCREDIBLE! They both came to my house in Morton Grove (outside of the city) for a trial and they were really friendly and happy to try whatever I wanted. I'm indecisive so I really needed time to sit with my trial look to decide how I felt about it. Nancy checked in and passed my feedback along to Mary and Marjorie and both were more than happy to make adjustments on our wedding day. Marjorie even said she bought some new products to use with me after reading my feedback, which I thought was so sweet and ended up being SO worth it! They were flexible when I needed to rearrange my bridesmaid order and I can't recommend them enough. -

Stephanie Sent on 06/15/2019INCREDIBLE Hair and Makeup stylists
Nancy and her team at Fearless & Bella were absolutely incredible! Of EVERY wedding vendor that we were working with in advance (12+!) Nancy was the MOST accommodating, helpful, responsive and professional. She answered all of my questions, customized the services to my needs and reassured me when I was worried about things. On the day of, her staff was amazing - showed up on time with ALL of the items we could need, they were friendly, fun, and flexible - especially when we had some bridesmaid changes. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful, and Nancy made sure that I (the bride) had the PERFECT hair and makeup. I cannot recommend them more highly - they are amazing! -

Lauren Sent on 05/02/2019Simply gorgeous!
Fearless & Bella were fantastic from start to finish! I had a large bridal party and knew I wanted to keep things simple by doing hair and makeup with one vendor. Nancy was really accommodating and provided clear details, schedules, and information from booking to wedding day. All my bridesmaids and mom’s had rave reviews about their hair and makeup. They were extremely organized and came prepared with their own chairs and power strips, showed up on time, and were just a fun group to get ready with! Our makeup stylists were Laura and Nancy, hair stylists were Amanda and Kaedi. I personally had Nancy and Kaedi, both did an amazing job at both the trial and real deal. I would recommend Fearless & Bella to anyone looking for a reliable, talented, and well organized hair & makeup vendor! -

Maria Sent on 01/07/2019Amazing Artists, Lovely Ladies
I had the pleasure of working with Nancy and Mary for my wedding. I am SO happy to have found these amazing women!
Nancy, the owner, did my makeup. She is so dedicated to her craft and works hard to make sure her client is happy. I scheduled multiple trials with Nancy because at first I wasn't sure of my desired look. At both trials, Nancy did an amazing job! She listens to her clients and knows how to enhance their natural beauty.
Mary is a miracle worker - I have super long and thick hair and Mary beautifully completed my desired style (tight yet messy bun). The morning of my wedding, I decided I wanted my face framing layers to be shorter and she took out her shears without hesitation. -

Molly Sent on 11/07/2018Great Experience!
Hiring Fearless & Bella was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. Nancy was so easy to work with and completely understood my vision on how I wanted to look (which was not typical bridal). She was eager to make whatever little changes I wanted to perfect how I wanted to look for my hair and makeup. Nancy was also very responsive to any questions I had leading up to my big day and it was easy to schedule my trial! All of my friends who had their makeup done loved how they looked! My mother had never had professional makeup done before and was nervous but Nancy and her crew made her feel comfortable and her makeup was perfect! I would hire Fearless & Bella again to do my makeup and hair for any event I need in the future! -

Flawless hair and professional service
I loved working with Kim and Nancy! Kim did an amazing job on my hair for my henna and wedding. I enjoyed the hair trials too. Kim was patient and had ideas on how to achieve the look I wanted. She also did a great job at working with my various hair accessories. My henna veil was very heavy and I'm glad that Kim was able to secure it so that it stayed put without any issues. My henna hair stayed put throughout two complicated outfit changes and head pieces!
I was also in love with my wedding hair, which also stayed put all day. The morning of, I asked Kim to make sure my hair comb and veil sat lower than they did at the hair trial. I'm sure it was a bit difficult given that I have a lot of hair, but Kim was able to make my bun smaller so that my hair comb sat where I wanted it.
While I personally had a good friend do my makeup, all of my bridesmaids had Nancy do their makeup. They all looked fabulous!
Another great reason why I recommend Fearless and Bella: they are timely and professional. They sent me a day-of time line that had all of my ladies on a schedule to ensure everyone was ready on time. THAT WAS HUGE!!! The last thing you need the day of your wedding is everyone running late because hair and makeup is taking too long. This team works quickly and efficiently, without sacrificing the quality of service.
I would gladly hire this team again for beauty services. -

Thank you, Fearless and Bella!
I met Nancy at a wedding expo and immediately knew I wanted to use Fearless and Bella for my wedding hair & makeup. Nancy is incredibly sweet and responsive, and knows her stuff! I was incredibly happy with the work she (and Kim) did, not only myself, but my entire bridal party. Everyone looked absolutely stunning, and Nancy and Kim made us all feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. I felt like the value was spot on and I would recommend Fearless and Bella to anyone! -

Thanks for making my day so special Nancy and for truly making me feel like a princess!!

Samantha Sent on 08/09/2018I can not say enough good things and Nancy and her team. We had a large bridal party and I searched for a while before deciding on a company to suit all of us. I found Fearless & Bella on Instagram and after contacting Nancy, I knew instantly they were the one. She made it so easy to accommodate a large group and all of her girls handled it beautifully. I had 10 bridesmaids get their hair and make up done, and didn’t hear one complaint! We received so many compliments up and I happily send out the Fearless and Bella instagram to anyone who asks!
I highly recommend booking them for your next event, you will not be disappointed!

Samantha Sent on 03/28/2018The Fearless and Bella ladies did a great job. We had a large wedding party and Nancy was so accommodating with all the last minute changes and details. We all had so much fun the morning of the wedding and even their playlist for getting ready was on point! I literally changed my look a few days before the wedding and they were so patient and did an amazing job. These ladies can literally do any style you want and they accommodated each person's style and make-up preference.

Caitlin Sent on 11/05/2017Nancy and team did a great job getting my girls and I ready the morning of the wedding. They were attentive to our needs and met our style requests. I had one makeup artist and two hair stylists for 7 girls. It helped the morning move faster. Would definitely recommend! -
Nancy Sent on 10/02/2017This review is long overdue, but I hope it's better late than never. :)
Nancy and her team did an amazing job doing my bridesmaids, moms, and my hair and make-up for my June wedding. Everyone looked beautiful!
I did 3 hair trials and 2 make-up trials with Nancy, because of my indecisiveness :). Of course I couldn't decide if I wanted my hair up or down or half up. But Nancy made sure that I was satisfied with my look for my big day and even offered to do the third hair trial. That's how much she truly cares about making sure the bride is happy with her day-of look! I can't thank her enough for letting me try so many styles! :) I ended up going with an updo for my wedding and I'm glad I did because it was a bit windy that day. I also loved my make-up, I originally wanted a natural soft bridal look but ended up with to a smoky, but subtle, purple eye....but both trials I did with Nancy were great so it was hard to choose!
Hands down hair and make-up are two very important things for your wedding day, so I highly recommend hiring Nancy and her team! Her team is incredible, very nice, friendly, professional group of women. I also posted some pictures so you can see their awesome work :) -

Erin Sent on 09/16/2017Nancy and Ann were beyond wonderful on our wedding day. They were there for the whole morning while the bridesmaids and I were getting ready, answering our questions and working with each of my bridesmaids individually to make sure they had a look and style that they loved (and that I loved as well!). I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup that evening, and I really appreciated Nancy in particular taking the time to make sure that I thought everything was just right. You absolutely cannot find more kind, happy, and helpful people to be on your wedding team, and I would recommend them to anyone! -

Gigi Sent on 05/17/2015Nancy is amazing she did my makeup for prom and i honestly felt on top of the world. I love how sweet, she is and you can tell she really studies her work because she knows the material very well. The application was so simple yet vibrant and it caught the attention of so many eyes. I had an amazing prom with my amazing makeup done by the gorgeous Nancy can't wait to work with you more and more. ☺️ -

Elisa Sent on 08/26/2019Nancy and Ann are great
Nancy and Ann were great to work with. Nancy was very responsive and was super sweet in dealing with me changing my mind on make-up so many times. Ann did a phenomenal job on my hair and it held up until the very end. We had two or three other hair artists and the bridesmaids' whose hair wasn't in an up-do came uncurled pretty much immediately after pictures. I've been to a few other weddings since then where I've noticed this happen so not sure if that's just an expectation. I loved my make-up during the trial but my husband thought it was too dark so we switched up the look slightly for the wedding day. I'm not sure if Nancy used extra airbrush foundation on me or whether it was the sun but my make-up started peeling slightly right before pictures. We were able to fix the issue with some powder and lotion but I would suggest going with regular foundation or seeing how your make-up stays on in similar conditions, which I didn't do. -
