    Stop The Search, THIS Is Your Wedding Beauty Team!!

    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!!!!!

    Nancy and her team were a dream to work with for my wedding day. They did such a great job with my bridal hair and makeup. I had five other people in our group also get hair and makeup done and every single person was so happy with how it turned out. I will definitely be recommending Fearless and Bella to anyone who needs wedding h&mu I could not have been more pleased!!!

    All 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.

    Highly recommend!

    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!

    AMAZING hair and makeup!

    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!

    Nancy 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!!!

    Nancy 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. ☺️

    Never 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.

    Beautiful, natural glam!

    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!

    Amazing 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!

    My Most Beautiful Self!

    I am SO happy I chose to go with Fearless and Bella for my wedding hair and makeup. After scrolling through a sea of Instagram photos trying to find someone who would make me look like the most glamorous version of myself (while still looking like ME), I chose Fearless and Bella. From the beginning, Nancy was the biggest sweetheart, and my hair/makeup trial felt like spending time with girlfriends before a big night out. They took my inspiration photos and ideas and customized them to my hair and skin type, and I knew I'd be in good hands.

    The day of, Nancy and her team showed up in good spirits ready to transform us! They were so kind and supportive, and I knew we were in the best of hands. By the end of the morning, we all looked like we were glowing - the most beautiful versions of ourselves! I really could not have asked for a better group of women to make us feel beautiful, and I can't wait for another fancy occasion to work with them again!

    Highly Recommend!

    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!

    Beauty For All!

    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!

    Make-up Dream Team

    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!

    Amazing Hair and Makeup!

    I cannot say enough good things about Nancy and team. Most importantly, she made me and my bridesmaids look and feel absolutely beautiful with flawless hair and makeup. I had wanted a bold lip for my fall wedding and she nailed it first try on the color during our trial, and the lipstick lasted ALL NIGHT of the wedding. Beyond the amazing hair and makeup talent, she was pretty affordable relative to other options and she is also super sweet and fun - just the type of person you want hanging out with your bridal party getting ready for the big day. Highly recommend!!

    Would absolutely recommend!

    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 is the best!

    Nancy in amazing! I had a trial with another MUA initially, but wasn't crazy about how things turned out. I'm so glad I found Nancy! I had my makeup trial on a very rainy day - my makeup actually got rained on and still stayed put! Highly recommend!! She did an excellent job on my wedding day makeup, as well as my mom and MIL's!

    So 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.

    INCREDIBLE 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!

    The time of my life experience!

    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!
