    best hair and makeup artist!

    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!

    Couldn't have been happier!

    Pin Me Up is a wonderful company and did such a good job with my hair and makeup for my wedding. I was recommended/remembered Pin Me Up from my sister-in-law who used them for her wedding where I was a bridesmaid. I remember loving my hair for their wedding and how everyone looked stunning and knew I needed them for my wedding. Pin Me Up does a great job of matching hair and makeup stylists with you and what you are looking for in terms of vibe. Liz and Frenchie were amazing to work with! They did so well with taking my vision and what I was thinking and making it come alive. Frenchie was super helpful and helped me problem-solve during my hair trial when I didn’t like certain parts but couldn’t figure out exactly how to word it or explain what I really wanted. With some pictures and retrying we figured out a solution during the trial and my wedding day look ended up perfect! My wedding party looked gorgeous and they did such a great job managing different skin types and hair textures as well as styles that people wanted. The price is also unbeatable! I highly recommend Pin Me Up to anyone looking for hair and makeup for a wedding or other event!

    November 2025 Chicago Wedding

    Kim (hair) and Lily (makeup) were the paragon of professionalism. They brought a sense of calm confidence from the minute they walked in on my wedding morning, and I could not have asked for better women to bring the best energy. Kim did an outstanding job on my low-bun updo, and easily made some changes that I requested from our hair trial to give me the bridal look of my dreams, but I was even more impressed with the updo she pulled off for my mom. My mom has 2-3 inch long, very fine hair and Kim created an elegant, regal updo that was absolutely stunning. Lily was equally impressive in her talent. She was extremely receptive to a few changes I requested from my bridal trial, and made everyone feel like brightened, enhanced versions of their beautiful selves. I could not recommend them more!!

    Felt beautiful and had so much fun

    Tanya and Val were incredible to work with. They listened to what I wanted and executed my vision perfectly. I'm not a big beauty gal- I rarely wear makeup and don't often do my hair fancier than simply down and curled and I felt like they executed natural beauty exactly as I had pictured it. And my gals and I had so much fun getting ready with them on the wedding day.

    Great choice

    We had a fantastic experience with Pin Me Up for hair and makeup at our wedding. They were professional, efficient, and made sure everyone was happy with their look. They got through all 10 people in just a few hours without feeling rushed. My wife was especially thrilled with how her hair and makeup turned out. Highly recommend for an stress-free experience.

    Beautiful work, great hair and makeup artists

    I could not be more happy with our PMU services for our wedding. We had a rather large group of attendees and with the expertise of the hair and makeup artists, we were always ahead of schedule! Nicole worked with me throughout the whole process on meeting my hair needs. She helped provide professional recommendations on how to make my hair hold curl-and with her advice, it worked! She worked wonders! Liz also provided beautiful makeup services for myself and my attendees. She listened to everyone's unique makeup needs and is a pro with fake eyelashes! Rene also provided hair services for my attendees and he created some beautiful hair styles! All in all my hair and makeup artists were incredibly professional, easy to work with, and made getting ready incredibly calming.

    Taylor and Michelle are the best!

    I can't say enough good things about our experience with Pin Me up (special shout out to Taylor and Michelle) for my wedding day! From the very first trial, I knew we were in great hands. Taylor's makeup artistry was incredible—she really listened to my vision and made it come to life, which eased all my pre-wedding nerves. We had so much fun during the trial, laughing and chatting, which made the whole process feel relaxed and enjoyable.
    On the big day, I felt absolutely stunning! The makeup artistry was incredible—everyone not only created a beautiful look but also ensured it lasted all day without a hitch. The hair styling was equally amazing; each bridesmaid, bridespeople and moms had a gorgeous look that perfectly complemented our outfits. Everyone felt fabulous and received so many compliments throughout the day!
    PMU created such a positive atmosphere, making the morning of the wedding feel like a celebration in itself. I can’t recommend them highly enough for any bride looking for talented professionals who are also a joy to be around! Thank you all for helping make my wedding day so special!

    Best Hair and Makeup Artists!

    Pin Me Up was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding day! The booking process was super easy with them, including booking my hair and makeup trials, and it was nice to have a one-stop shop for both hair and makeup. They made me feel so beautiful--just wish I could always have them along as my glam squad!

    Felt like a queen

    Pin Me Up Chicago is absolutely delightful to work with. I had two hair trials and one makeup trial, and felt so grateful throughout the entire experience. On the big day, my makeup by Mei was absolutely stunning, and my hair by Jojo was perfect. I felt like a queen, and everything looks outstanding in the photos. My bridesmaids, the MOB and MOG and flower girls looked absolutely incredible the entire day and night, and the PMU team was so fast and thorough! they got through 12 people in 3 hours. It was absolutely amazing! I could not be more grateful to Mei, Jojo, Caitlin and Sarah for all of their time, work and talent on our wedding day. We felt like movie stars! 10/10 experience.

    Great experience!

    I booked Pinmeup hair and makeup artists for my wedding and the whole experience was amazing! Their customer service is excellent with easy communication, quick feedback, and overall organization that makes you feel at ease. Both hair (Isabel Johnson) and makeup (Mei Moy)artists were professional, timely, and talented women. They provided great service for both my trial and my wedding day. I had the utmost confidence in them to make me feel extra special and beautiful on my day. They listened to what I wanted and exceeded my expectations on their delivery.

    Amazing from the beginning

    Pin Me Up Chicago was excellent to work with! With the many "to-do's" of wedding planning, booking my bridal and bridal party hair and makeup services honestly fell through the cracks. When I reached out, their response time was quick and they were able to fit me in for a trial in the next week.

    Jojo and Sandra were amazing! They took my natural style (long hair with glasses) and elevated it, making me feel beautiful and elegant, but also myself. They were sweet, funny, and made the whole process fun. On wedding day, they were even able to add in last minute additions.

    I would highly recommend!

    The perfect glam squad for our wedding

    - [ ] Working with Pin Me Up was seamless and they made me and my entire bridal party feel absolutely beautiful! They were so accommodating and flexible with each girl on the morning of the wedding and made doing 11 different hair and makeup styles look easy. Shoutout to the entire team at Pin Me Up that made asking questions through their online portal, scheduling trials, and making payments so simple. Thank you for making our day PERFECT!

    Five Stars!

    I loved working with Pin Me Up. I was planning my wedding from Europe, so communication and scheduling all had an extra layer of complication, and everyone at Pin Me Up was extremely responsive and helped things go smoothly.

    Sam, makeup, and Harley, hair, were absolute pros and translated requests from the wedding party for everything from "punk rock" to "slightly bohemian" to "space kitty" into truly stunning looks. They were a joy to work with and I've never felt more beautiful. Plus my hair and makeup were still fully intact after several hours of dancing! Miraculous!

    Amazing team for large groups!

    Pin Me Up was amazing to work with! Dana and her team did such an amazing job working through 12 bridesmaids (!!), 2 moms, 2 flower girls and me! Everyone loved their hair styles. They could show them any hairstyle and they pulled it off perfectly. My hair was beautiful and stayed up all night through the windy ceremony, reception, after party and after after party! I would highly recommend Pin Me Up to anyone looking for a hairstylist!

    Wedding Make-up and Hair

    Pin Me Up Chicago did my hair and make-up and one of my bridesmaids’ hair. My other bridesmaids had their hair and make-up done by someone else, and I really appreciated Pin Me Up Chicago being so cool about this. Pin Me Up Chicago was the easiest vendor I had to handle re-scheduling. Jessica was very compassionate to me through those ever-changing times. I originally had my hair and make-up done by two other stylists for my trial since my wedding was postponed due to COVID-19 I had two different stylists for my big day. All of them were very talented and did a fantastic job with my hair and make-up. I appreciated Pin Me Up Chicago not making me have to do another trial before my new wedding date. I changed the look of my hairstyle from what I originally had done and it turned out to be amazing. I wanted real flowers in my hair and my hairstyle was so awesome with getting that to look beautiful. My florist ran a little late getting my flowers to me and my hair stylists stayed a little late to make sure I got my flowers in my hair. I was so grateful she still stayed to get flowers in my hair. I believe I got a great value for the price. The stylists were timely, made great recommendations and did a great job. I would recommend Pin Me Up Chicago to other brides.

    Thank You Tanya and Pin Me Up

    Tanya and Kate from Pin Me Up took care of hair and makeup for our company photo shoot and headshots. It was so much fun and stress free. I was so sad when I had to wash my face at the end of the day.

    Company Photoshoot

    This was my first time working with Pin Me Up and I wasn't disappointed at all! Pin Me Up did hair and makeup for a company photoshoot and they made the entire experience so much fun. Tanya was our make up artist and Dana was our hairstylist. Both ladies did an outstanding job and produced exactly what I wanted for my look. Especially for someone like me who doesn't normally do hair or even know how to put on makeup, haha!

    Wedding Make Up/Hair

    Pin me up was amazing! I had them do my bridal party (11 hair and make up applications) and they did a great job. They listened carefully to what everyone wanted and did exactly that. They gave great advice on what color/style would look good on each girl. When I did my trial, I realized I picked the wrong style for my hair. The girls were so flexible and they helped change it to something I really loved. The whole process was easy, fun and overall amazing! I would recommend pin me up.

    Professional, punctual, and so much fun

    I really enjoyed my experience with Pin Me Up! Branden (makeup) and Laura (hair) were professional, punctual, and so much fun. My trial was great, and the wedding day was even better. We had hair and makeup done for myself, 6 bridesmaids, and 2 moms, and everyone was done on time and looked amazing. Jessica made things easy as well, quickly replying to any questions I had throughout the process.

    Loved Everything!

    I had Dana do my hair and she was fantastic! She listened to what I wanted and nailed it. She was also super cool and knowledgeable about the entire wedding industry. She even went the extra mile to make sure my headpiece stayed in all night (and it did!) My Step mother and bridesmaids also loved their makeup artist! It was a very effortless and amazing experience. I myself am in the beauty industry so I tend to be picky and I was beyond impressed. I definitely recommend!

    Pin Me Up was without a doubt THE ultimate hair and makeup glam squad. As the bride, Jules did my makeup, and Anastasia did my hair, and I was so happy with the outcome. We also had Noemi and Laura who also did a phenomenal job. All of the girls were on time (early in fact), organized, superrrrr friendly, and listened to what each girl wanted. They also got us done early which is somewhat unheard of in the wedding world! Their prices are not killer either, which is great. We could not have been happier with them - thanks Pin Me Up!!!!!

    I used Pin Me Up to do my bridal hair and makeup, and was very happy with how everything came out. I didn't do a bridal party, so it was just me who needed prettying up, but I was getting ready in the bridal suite of my venue, and was concerned their stylist wouldn't travel to work on just one person (plenty of other places wouldn't). Pin Me Up assured me right away that they had no minimum for traveling, so they would come to my venue to just work on me.

    I had Abbey for both my hair and makeup, and she was great. At my trial I showed her photos of some ideas, and she tried two different hairstyles on me to see which I liked better. Then of course I overthought things between the trial and the wedding day and asked if she could make some tweaks on the big day. She said no problem, and got to work. She was very accommodating and friendly with my friends and family who were in the suite with us (including my aunt who couldn't tell the difference between a tube of lipstick and a tube of mascara, and asked if airbrush makeup just blasts air onto my face....).

    The true testament to Abbey's good work was when at our first look, my now-husband, who doesn't general notice things like hair or makeup, declared, "You should wear your hair and makeup like this everyday!"

    Thank you, dear, but no one's go the time for that. But it must have looked good for him to call it out.

    Pin Me Up came as a recommendation from my cousin after I had a streak of bad luck scheduling with hair/make-up groups in Chicago. I had a large bridal party and many family members who wanted hair & makeup done at the hotel (Hilton Chicago) and other beauty vendors weren't willing to take on the group size in a reasonable amount of time - even when I offered to pay more for extra help. Jessica from Pin Me Up didn't even bat an eye at the request, allowed 2 hair & 2 makeup artists, and worked with me to figure out a morning get-ready schedule that worked for everyone involved. I really appreciated the high level of service and attention, because I didn't want my family members to not feel included the morning of the wedding.

    Jules and Amanda did my makeup and hair, and everything stayed perfect from 10am til the after-party ended at 3am! Also, I was very nervous and unsure about my wedding look, and they made sure I didn't leave the trial until I loved it. Other bridesmaids also commented on how well their hair and makeup stayed throughout the long day. Thank you Jessica, Amanda, Jules, and team for making us all look and feel lovely!

    We worked with Isabelle from Pin Me Up and she did a great job on everyone's hair! She was so friendly and very efficient and was able to do a variety of different hairstyles. Pin Me Up is very affordable - I highly recommend!

    So happy we used Pin Me Up. The team arrived on time and did an amazing job. My hair stayed all night and make up was perfect. Day of hair /make up was even better than the trial.

    I didn't do a trial with them since I'm now out of town and it was no problem at all. They showed up exactly on time to my hotel room and were true professionals. They were so fast with both hair and makeup for 5 people and we all got tons of compliments all night! Definitely book them if you get a chance. We were all very pleased.

    Sam & Kelly did the makeup for 10 people for my daughter's wedding and they were fantastic! We all looked very natural but we were the best versions of ourselves. All ten people were extremely pleased which is hard to do. A few people were nervous about having false lashes due to eye sensitivity and/or inexperience. The lashes were incredibly comfortable and natural looking and those who used them were so happy that they did. Sam & Kelly were on time, neat, friendly and truly skilled at applying makeup to many different skin types. I highly recommend them and we will call them again for the next wedding!

    Flawless hair and makeup for our wedding! I am a big makeup geek so it was extremely important to find a good match for hair/makeup for my wedding day. The moment I had my trial with Jessica (makeup) and Alex (hair), I knew I didn’t have to look any further. They were very professional, timely and I felt comfortable with their style and ideas. Even more importantly, with all the happy tears, my makeup still looked amazing throughout the whole evening. I definitely recommend Pin Me Up for bridal hair and makeup. (Married Oct 2016)

    I am sort of a no-fuss person when it comes to hair and makeup, so booking that was the final thing I did for my wedding (about 3 weeks out). Jessica, who manages the salon, was super friendly and accommodating, and the whole process was very easy and smooth. Jules did my makeup for both my trial and wedding and gave me a gorgeous glowy look, not to mention she was so friendly and a good relaxed energy to have around. Tiffany, who I only met the morning of my wedding, was easygoing and did a great job of putting in my extensions and giving me the loose beachy waves I was after! What sold me was that they are willing to come to your room and there is no minimum for services. At first I thought Pin Me Up was expensive... but then I researched pretty much everyone else and realized they're very reasonable! It's your big day after all, so treat yourself.

    Many kudos to Ms. Dana Louder and Pin Me Up! If you're looking for a wedding stylist for you and your bridal party, look no further. PMU is extremely reasonably priced given the quality of up-dos you receive. The day of my wedding Dana and her assistant came to our hotel to do 11 hairstyles (1 bride + 7 bridesmaids + 3 moms). They were professional but also fun and relaxed (definitely people you want to be around the morning of your wedding!). They were able create gorgeous up-dos quite quickly, and so I was not anxious about running behind or being late. Kelly did our make-up (3 traditional + 2 airbrush), and once again, the outcome was gorgeous! Finally, I felt absolutely beautiful that day. I was so impressed with their talents and overjoyed at the ease I was put at - not to mention the confidence I had because I looked like a beautiful bride. Thank you!

    I hired Pin Me Up Chicago to do hair and makeup for my June 11th wedding. Jessica, who does all the coordinating, was very pleasant to work with. She set me up with Danielle to do makeup and Anastasia to do hair. Both ladies did an absolute wonderful job. I couldn’t have been happier with both my hair and makeup the day of my wedding. I have never felt so confident as when I did after they were done with me. All the bridesmaids and the MOB and MOG looked absolutely stunning as well. Everything went great, but if I had to change one thing, I would have had them arrive a little earlier. We were doing hair for 6 people others and makeup for 4 people. They arrived at the time they suggested in order to be ready by 4pm, but by the time we were finished with the last makeup job it was about 4:45 and we were cutting it pretty close to the ceremony. Either way, I would highly recommend Pin Me Up to anyone needing professional hair and makeup done.

    Pin Me Up Chicago was such a great decision! I booked them for both hair and makeup. They came to our hotel (Godfrey) for no additional charge (some places charge), which made things SO much easier that morning! We were booked with Anastasia and Gaby and I'm very grateful for that! They were both FANTASTIC! They made my bridesmaids and I look and feel gorgeous!

    I needed a haircut and color prior to the hair trial so I asked about getting set up with Anastasia. It was so nice coming into the hair trial already knowing her! I wanted a hairstyle that was versatile--up for the ceremony and photos; half-up/half-down for the reception. She did just that and took the time to show my MOH how and where to unpin at the trial. She even provided a special spray for us to keep to help soften the curls! Anastasia is awesome!

    I didn't want a makeup trial so I didn't meet Gaby until the wedding day. She was a true professional and asked specific questions to make sure she understood the look I was going for. She nailed it 1,000x over! I absolutely loved it!!

    Thank you, Pin Me Up! You have a great team there.

    Pin Me Up does amazing work--my makeup and hair looked perfect for my wedding on November 1st, 2015.

    Danielle is a superb makeup artist. She uses just the right amount of color to give the bride a flawless appearance.

    Dana is a genius with hair. She styled mine so that it could be worn 'up'. It was so elegant and lovely. Over 4,000 pictures were taken of me at my wedding by various guests. From every angle I looked fantastic.

    I cannot thank Danielle and Dana enough--I highly recommend them for weddings!

    I was a little nervous going into my hair and makeup trial because other stylists in the past have pushed me into a look that wasn't "me." Pin Me Up quickly dispelled my apprehension. I normally do not wear a lot of makeup and have had several unpleasant experiences with makeup artists who hear "fresh and natural" and give me the complete opposite, but Danielle totally understood what I asked for and gave me exactly what I wanted. Afterwards, Dana worked on two beautiful hairstyles for me and assured me that I did not have to make a final decision until the actual day of the wedding.

    On the morning of the wedding, both Dana and Danielle were prompt. Although they say they are not morning persons, they were friendly and fun to work with. Danielle did beautiful makeup for me, my mom, and two bridesmaids in about two hours, and it took Dana probably under four hours to do one blow-out and half/full updos for me, my five bridesmaids, and my two flower girls. Everyone looked gorgeous!

    Pin Me Up was a life-saver when I decided 2 weeks before my wedding that I wanted professional hairdos for myself and 6 other ladies! Lauren did an amazing job, both on my bridal hair (that we had done a trial of) and of bridesmaids' hair (which they figured out together on the spot). She even stuck around for a while to fix any stray hairs and add final pins before our professional pictures!

    I was so completely impressed and taken back by how she made me feel like a movie star! She was phenomenal! From the moment you walk into their studio for a trial, they offer you wine and treat you like a princess. My hair has never looked so good. I'm going to find other reasons for an up-do. Amazing!

    My bridesmaids and I looked gorgeous thanks to Pin Me Up, and the logistics were easy. Jessica did awesome hairstyles for the bridesmaids and Jules did beautiful make-up. Jules particularly went beyond the call of duty, her enthusiasm for weddings was infectious and we all loved her help—I could not have gotten a better person for the job!

    Pin Me Up did hair and makeup for my wedding on July 18, 2015. I first met Noemi (makeup) and Katie (hair) at my trial. I didn't have a real idea as to what I wanted... a few pictures but nothing exact. Katie did my hair in one shot and it looked great. Noemi did my makeup in one shot and it was beautiful! The girls were really nice and made my feel comfortable.

    The day of they did 1 bride, 4 bridesmaids and 2 moms. 2 of the girls had pictures and 2 didn't. Katie did a great job following the pictures and tweaking anything that was requested. She also did a great job of coming up with something based on a conversation. The girls all looked beautiful! My hair looked just as good as it did the day of the trial and Katie was even available to help with my veil and making sure it looked perfect! Noemi did a great job with my makeup. It was even more beautiful than my trial!! All of my girls looked fabulous as well.

    I cant thank Katie and Noemi enough for all of their help!! They were very reasonable priced too!!

    Pin Me Up did my hair and makeup for me, my six bridesmaids, and my mother for my wedding on June 27, 2015.I had my hair and makeup trial few weeks before my wedding and Pin Me Up made me feel at ease that my bridal party would look great on my wedding day.

    Dana (hair) and Kelly (makeup) were the two artists that helped us get ready for the day. Both showed up to my hotel suite on time and ready to go. Both Dana and Kelly are AMAZING at what they do. Dana did an excellent job completing eight up dos on eight people and even had us ready early! Everyone's hair looked great and stayed put all day/night! Kelly is probably the best makeup artist that I have ever met. I have had my makeup done A LOT was really impressed with Kelly.

    I would HIGHLY recommend Pin Me Up for anyone looking for hair/makeup artists. Their prices are reasonable for the area and are worth it especially for your wedding!

    I loved Dana and her team! Everyone looked absolutely beautiful and I was very impressed. I had a large bridal party so I was worried about getting everyone in on time, but I was blown away by how quickly Dana and Tiffany. Normally anyone who can do hair that fast is probably doing a sloppy job, but Dana is just great at her craft. All of the girls brought in pictures and the accuracy of what their hair ended up looking like to their picture was spot on...all the girls were very happy, myself included! Aside from the finished product, they were very pleasant to work with. They respond very quickly, had great prices, and were very accomodating. I highly recommend them!

    Lesley, Dana, and Brittani of Pin Me Up Chicago beautified my bridesmaids and me for my June 2013 wedding. What an amazing job they did! We booked my trial a few months before and I immediately knew they were perfect for my wedding day. Super down-to-earth and fun to be around, the girls made me feel comfortable and truly listened to my input. I am so, so happy they were able to have a part of our special day. I highly recommend Pin Me Up for wedding services, and any beauty service for that matter!!

    They rocked, Jacqueline, Dana, and Paige were awesome. They were on time and even early, they made sure everything was in place, and catered to the bride's desires (that's me, Krishna!) and I received many compliments about my appearance. We used them for all four days of our Indian wedding event, and they provided exemplary service.

    Dana and Brittani made me feel beautiful for my wedding day! They are awesome.

    I went in for a trial run the day of my bridal shower and both Dana (hair) and Brittani (makeup) were super responsive to what I was looking for and totally delivered - I felt great at my shower.

    For my wedding, they came to my apartment for me and my bridesmaid. As it turns out both moms decided to get their hair and makeup done too and they were able to make that happen no problem. I was shocked that I loved my hair and makeup even more on my wedding day than I did for the initial trial run, I didn't think that would be possible - they really made me feel beautiful. I am pretty sure their services are addictive, since who doesn't want to feel gorgeous all the time!

    Both Dana and Brittani are super sweet and fun girls that are great to spend your getting ready time with. Dana was always very fast to respond to any emails and questions. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

    Inconvenient payment but great work

    They take feedback from your trial very seriously, and will take notes and photos to be sure they know exactly what you want. When I used them, they were always on time and prepared, and I would recommend them. It is inconvenient though that they have trouble taking checks as payment--I kept trying to pay them and they kept wanting to charge my credit card on file, but I hadn't given them one. Gratuity is included, which is very convenient.

    I used pin me up for my hair and makeup and it looked great. I did a trial beforehand at their studio, which was easy to arrange and they were very responsive to my requests. I had to change last minute where they were coming on the wedding day and they came without any issues and even arrived early. Everything looked perfect and my hair and makeup stayed intact throughout all than dancing. They were recommended to my by a friend, and I will now pass that recommendation on to other Chicago brides

    Great experience

    I had a wonderful experience working with Pin Me Up Chicago! They were very communicative and on top of planning my practice session and wedding day. Both my makeup artist and hair stylist were prompt and fun to spend time with the morning of my wedding. Each artist did a fantastic job of taking the inspiration photos I provided and making that look work for my hair and complexion. My makeup felt natural but beautiful, and my hair stayed up pretty well all night (just had to pin one curl back in, which isn’t bad for how thick my hair is). I would definitely recommend Pin Me Up!

    I used Pin Me Up for my wedding here last summer.

    Pros:
    -Pin me up was able to accommodate my wedding party with only 2 months notice after my regular hair stylist cancelled on me.
    -They were willing to do Black girl hair, which is hard to come by
    -The hairstyles Alexis did were beautiful and lasted through the July humidity
    -Alexis was right on time and got my entire wedding party (3 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and 1 bride) finished way before the deadline

    Cons:
    -Charged me for an updo because my groom's mother required 2 bobbi pins. Besides the extra cost, the worst part was that they didn't tell me beforehand. I found out when I saw the extra charge on my credit card after I returned from my honeymoon.

    All and all, the hair they did was gorgeous.

    Overall they did a decent job on our make-up. Easy to book and very responsive to our inquiries. Felt they worked around our schedules really well and were flexible with last minute changes.

    Pin Me Up is affordable but you get what you pay for. Both my hair and make up women were extremely sweet and nice but I was not satisfied with either. I had asked my hair stylist to do hot rollers instead of a curling iron because I know my curls stay longer and set better with that. She brought only large hot curlers in one size so she had to do smaller strands with a curling iron which of course lost the curl before the ceremony even started. She did a great job with the water fall braid I asked for though.

    I loved my make up artist's personality and she did my eyes wonderfully. But I had to ask her at the trial and day of multiple times to give my brows more of an arch. She said I had them waxed incorrectly but I can draw on my own arch just fine so I didn't understand what the problem was. Also I had asked her at the trial to shade in below my chin and neck (double chin shows itself sometimes when I'm laughing) and she didn't do it the day of (I completely forgot to remind her but I did ask for the *exact* make up I had at the trial). I will say her make up last ALL day and night though. Very impressed with that. I got the air brush which I think was worth the extra amount.

    Pin Me Up as a whole I think is a great company. They made the process very easy and were very attentive. I just had some minor complaints about the finished product.

    Great Artists but Not Great Owner

    Used for my hair and makeup for my wedding, 9/3. It's important to note that this review pertains to my experience dealing with the company itself, rather than the artists who provided the services.

    My primary frustration stemmed from the difficulty of getting in touch with Jessica, the company's representative. Communication with her was consistently challenging, and I found myself having to repeatedly reach out for updates and, quite surprisingly, to make payment arrangements. The latter, especially in the lead-up to my wedding, was an unnecessary source of stress.

    Another issue that arose was the logistical mix-up regarding the location. Despite our wedding coordinator diligently conveying all necessary details, such as contact information and hotel arrangements, the artists still ended up at the wrong hotel and calling me on the wedding day, rather than my coordinator. I do not fault the artists for this; rather, it appears to be a result of inadequate communication within the company.

    One significant drawback was the absence of a dedicated phone number for emergencies. This omission led to several hiccups during the planning process and on the wedding day itself. In a high-stakes event like a wedding, having a direct line for immediate assistance is crucial.

    On a positive note, I want to acknowledge that the artists themselves were super friendly, talented and professional. They did a lovely job, and I have no complaints about the quality of their work.

    Additionally, the pricing offered by this company is competitive when compared to other similar services in the Chicago area. However, I can't help but feel that the company's pricing structure reflects its communication issues and organizational challenges. While their rates may be attractive, the frustrations caused by these shortcomings did impact my overall satisfaction.
