Eliora & Brittany are a top notch Hair & Makeup team

I booked We Only Do Pretty for my wedding last weekend and was so happy with how my hair and makeup turned out. I knew I was in good hands when I went to the trial and everything turned out exactly as I envisioned. On the day of, Eliora and Brittany were so professional and flexible even though we were working in a small space to get 5 girls done. Myself and the rest of the girls looked amazing and I would highly recommend this team for your wedding!

We Only Do Pretty is the best!

We Only Do Pretty is the best! They were so efficient and helped to make the morning run so smoothly on my wedding day. They were so much fun to work with and really captured what my wedding party and I were wanting for our hair and makeup. Cannot recommend enough!

Awesome and would highly recommend!

I loved Eliora and Taylor’s work. They were so receptive to my preferences and incredibly talented. You can tell they have a ton of experience and I especially appreciated their experience with fusion weddings. They were incredibly flexible too and very understanding of family members chang minds. 100% recommend! It meant so much to love the way I looked for my wedding weekend!

Excellent Team

We loved the team at We Only Do Pretty! They were recommended from a friend of mine, for her wedding, and she was gorgeous on her wedding day. I wanted the same experience she had and I most certainly did! They took their time with each of us. They listened to our thoughts and created what we asked for our hair and makeup. There was not a second thought on working with We Only Do Pretty.

Great experience & easy to work with

Eliora and We Only Do Pretty were so great to work with on our wedding day! We scheduled We Only Do Pretty to do hair and makeup for the bride, and hair for the bridesmaids. Everything turned out lovely! I actually feel like most of my wedding photos are of my back, because I kept telling the photographer to make sure to get my hair :) (Also, we appreciated We Only Do Pretty's ability to be flexible with a venue that wasn't the most accommodating on timing/getting ready rooms.)

Made me look and feel beautiful!

Kristin and the We Only Do Pretty team was wonderful to work with and they made my bridesmaids and I look and feel beautiful on my big day. During my trial, Kristin made me feel so comfortable, incorporated my feedback along the way, and made suggestions for how to show off my favorite features and go with my dress, venue, and style all while still looking like myself. On the wedding day, Kristin and her team showed up to our suite armed and ready to make us look beautiful and they executed on that commitment - WODP made all of us feel comfortable as they did our hair and make-up and confident to look like our best, most beautiful selves. She also went above and beyond to help my sister-in-law schedule make-up services for my husband's family (sisters, sister-in-law, mom) at the hotel where they were staying. I am very picky when it comes to my hair and make-up, often preferring to do it myself vs. getting it done knowing I may be disappointed (which has happened with many events and weddings I've been in as a bridesmaid). I am SO glad I trusted Kristin and We Only Do Pretty to take care of my and my bridesmaids' hair and make-up for my wedding and would recommend them to anyone getting married or going to a big event.

Perfect for curly hair!

I cannot recommend them enough! The trial went great and she really listened to everything I had to say. I requested some adjustments on the actual wedding day, which she did perfectly! Every bit of makeup stayed in place the whole night (and if I'm being honest I didn't take it off before bed and I woke up with it still in place, not a single smudge). And my hair! I was really nervous since I have naturally curly hair and a long history of people not knowing hoe to properly handle it. I told her that I wanted to embrace my natural curls which she was super excited about. The final product was just amazing, I don't think my hair has ever looked that beautiful. But the thing that made me the happiest was how beautiful she made my mom feel. She did her makeup and my mom was nervous since she never wears it, but she was absolutely stunning! I cannot recommend their service enough! :)

Amazing! We Only Do Pretty saved the day!

Eliora from We Only Do Pretty completely saved my wedding day after we had to hire a hairstylist only 8 hours before our wedding day! After responding to a frantic late night email request to come style the hair of 8 women less than 10 hours later, she responded with extreme professionalism and put my nerves at ease. On the day of, she was incredibly friendly, talented, personable and respectful of everyone's safety in regard to COVID precautions. My hair turned out better than I could've imagined! I would wholeheartedly recommend We Only Do Pretty to any bride.

Easy, breezy, beautiful

When the bridal hair stylist I wanted to work with moved out of the area, she strongly recommended that I work with We Only Do Pretty for bridal party hair and makeup, and I'm so glad she did, because it was a breeze from start to finish! I had a hard time finding people who would come on site for a small bridal party (7 including moms and flower girl), and WODP was more than willing to do it at a very reasonable and transparent price. Ashley (makeup) and Jean (hair) were assigned to me based on their availability. They were a dream team - Ashley brought the sweetness and levity, Jean brought the efficiency and authority that my slowpoke crew needed. We had a range of skintones and Ashley was still able to give everyone a very natural, cohesive look. Even when I didn't have things running smoothly on my end (party members showing up late, forgot to have the check ready instead of Venmo), they were consummate professionals. Highly recommend!

Flawless, natural makeup

Lauren and Stacy were absolutely amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better experience, from my trial to the wedding day working with these two is like getting ready with your friends. My hair and makeup was perfect! This was my first time having airbrush makeup and it was the perfect natural wedding day look (with a little pop of lip color). If you live in Chicago or the surrounding suburbs I would 100% recommend We Only Do Pretty for your wedding!

The Absolute Best

If you are looking for absolute professionals for your wedding hair and makeup look no further. I am so happy I chose We Only Do Pretty for my wedding. Eliora and Lauren were beyond amazing. Through two hair trials due to a dress change and then traveling to my out of state wedding, it was a smooth and seamless process. I wanted a very complicated braided hairstyle I was not even sure was possible and a specific look for makeup and they both executed it perfectly with seeming ease. On the morning of my wedding they arrived promptly and got right to work – knocking out six bridesmaids, three moms, a flower girl, and me. Everyone looked so beautiful and all my bridesmaids were very happy with their looks – many pictures were taken. What’s more, they had a great blend of Lauren’s upbeat enthusiasm and excitement and Eliora’s calm focus, a fantastic duo that made me and my bridal party very comfortable and relaxed. I cannot recommend them highly enough, my hair and makeup was everything I had hoped for on my wedding day, and Eliora is also a pro at fixing veils! Thank you both so much!

Kristin truly made my bridal party, my mom, my mother in law, my flower girls and myself look and feel our best! Kristin is so talented and was able to get all of us done with time to spare! Everyone looked and felt so beautiful! Our hair and makeup lasted all night even with rain and wind!

Wonderful Wedding Experience!

Kristin and Lauren are the absolute best!! They are incredible with hair and makeup and they are super fun to be around. They are the perfect dynamic duo for an event. My wedding party had the best time with them. They perfectly executed the hair and makeup of each person in my wedding party. They were also extremely accommodating whenever someone was dissatisfied with something. They did not take the critique offensively whatsoever; they just wanted their clients to be happy. Krysten is also my regular hairstylist because of how great she is with hair. I love how laid back she is. I enjoy going to see her and have recommended her to my friends as well. She is the perfect blend of exquisite hair skills, and friendship that makes going to your hair appointment an event to look forward to! Needless to say, I highly recommend We Only Do Pretty for wedding events! They have a forever customer out of me. :)

HIGHLY recommend!!

I highly recommend We Only Do Pretty!! I had VERY high expectations for my makeup, and Lauren did a fantastic job, both at the trial and the day of the wedding. Lauren and Eloria are exactly who you would want by your side on your wedding day!! They bring great energy, are laid back and really listened to what I (the bride) and my bridesmaid (of various backgrounds) wanted. In addition, they were flexible with last minute add ons! I can't speak more highly of Lauren and her team, and would hire them again in a heartbeat!

Wonderful experience!

Lauren and her colleagues were absolutely wonderful to work with! I wasn’t really sure what style I was looking for and they helped me find the perfect combination. They all were so friendly, professional, and flexible. It was chaotic with 12 or so people to receive services and they ended up finishing early! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

We Only Do Pretty was the Dream Team I never knew I needed for my wedding!

As someone who does not do my own makeup very often, finding someone to do hair and makeup for our wedding felt nearly impossible. I originally booked We Only Do Pretty on a whim, after seeing they did a wedding for a Cubs wife, but I am SO grateful for that impulse decision. Lauren and Eliora immediately felt more like friends than people I had hired. They made my trial extremely relaxed and fun, and made sure that their expertise was made known when I needed help envisioning my look for the big day. They showed up promptly the morning of my wedding, and made all of my bridesmaids look absolutely stunning! When I asked Eliora to change up my hair from what we did in my trial, she had no problems switching gears and translated my vision perfectly. Both ladies kept me relaxed and laughing the morning of my wedding and set such a wonderful tone for the rest of the day. I can't thank them enough for making me truly feel like the most beautiful bride on my wedding day!

Amazing service

I can't say enough about this company. They were so helpful and responsive with my questions. I love the a la carte option they have because not a lot of places offer that and it was so flexible for me and my bridesmaids. Ashley was AMAZING. It was so fun having her there with us that morning. She did an amazing job with everyone's make up. My make up was flawless the whole day/night. My lashes stayed on. My face was not oily (that is a big problem I normally struggle with). She even gave me a little touch up bag that inlcuded extra glue for my lashes (wasn't even needed), extra lip gloss, finishing powder, and oil wipes. The price was perfect considering the excellent service you get. We did not have a hair stylist as my cousin did all of our hair, but I am sure that service would be equally amazing.

Literally the best.

I had a great experience working with Eliora and Lauren from We Only Do Pretty for my wedding day. My wedding coordinator recommended WODP and I reached out to Kristin for pricing and details. They offer really great prices in comparison to other bridal hair/ makeup services. I read their great reviews and saw some photos and decided to book them. I had a trial with Eliora and Lauren and they were amazing! They are so fun and easy going. They listened to exactly what I wanted and made it come to life. On the day of, they showed up on time and were ready to roll. From the beginning, my biggest request was that I wanted a later start time and they were very accommodating, bringing an extra person to curl hair to make things run faster. They fit right in with my group of bridesmaids and brought a calm energy to the group. It can be stressful to get a big group ready on time but they actually finished earlier than expected and I was never worried about timing! They also did lips and touch ups on everyone right before we got dressed and got out the door. My bridal party was so happy and everyone’s hair and makeup looked beautiful. Eliora really listened to my feedback from the trial and totally nailed what I wanted for my wedding hair. I have a hard time keeping my hair from falling out but it stayed secure all night long. My mom also had a trial with Eliora and she was thrilled with her wedding day hair. Lauren also did a phenomenal job with makeup! My makeup was perfect all night and photographed beautifully. One thing I really love is that the makeup is natural and you still look like you, just a glam version ☺ I got so many compliments on both my hair and makeup and I really loved the way I looked. I think it is special to look back on your wedding photos and be 100% happy with how you look; Lauren and Eliora made that possible. I cannot recommend them enough for your big day!

Oh my goodness...Kristin and Lauren are miracle workers! They made my girls and I look like movie stars in the most natural way! They set such a high standard that one of my engaged bridesmaids was unhappy with all other trials and rushed back to book We Only Do Pretty! Incomparable service - love these ladies!

So Amazing!!

I hired We Only Do Pretty for hair and makeup for my wedding and it was the best decision! They did such an amazing job with hair and makeup. Even after 8 hours, the whole bridal party still looked amazing. Eliora was so accommodating and flexible! She made it so easy to plan for the day and make any last minute changes. We had a blast hanging out with her and her team all morning. The hair and makeup was truly amazing, but the overall experience was even more amazing!

True HMU Magicians!

When I was first looking for a HMU vendor, I was drawn to the natural and beautiful makeup as well as the gorgeous braided hairstyles I saw posted on their Instagram. Meeting Eliora in person for my bride trial was an absolute dream. We easily clicked and she listened so well to all my requests and concerns down to the smallest detail regarding my desired hairstyle and makeup preferences. She was also able to point me in the right direction for hair extensions and was very quick to respond to an emails I sent after the trial with questions. I really appreciated both her artistic vision and how organized she and Ashley were on the day of with sticking to the schedule to ensure everyone was ready to go on time.
The magic both Eliora and Ashley worked on myself, my bridesmaids, and family members was incredible. Even with last minute style changes, Eliora was able to fully capture the exact look I had always dreamed of having on my wedding day, and boy, did those lashes and airbrushed makeup stay in place through all the happy tears (which are automatically included in their services for no extra fee)! All my ladies and I received so many compliments over our hair and makeup all night and we have Eliora and Ashley to thank for helping us feel absolutely beautiful all night long! Thank you both so much!

Highly recommend - Amazing to work with!

After having another makeup vendor back out on my trial appointment 1 hour before my engagement photos, I was extremely cautious to book another. I found We Only Do Pretty, and loved the natural, but beautiful styles and affordable prices. Makeup was one of the most important aspects of my big day, and I am so glad that I decided to work with We Only Do Pretty!

I had my makeup trial with Lauren - she was amazing to work with! Lauren is so sweet and easy to connect with. She listened to my vision for my wedding day, and brought it to life. I am extremely particular about my makeup, and Lauren was able to take all of my concerns into account and ensure I would get exactly what I was hoping for. Lauren is reliable and professional, and showed up on the big day with her bubbly personality and welcoming attitude - it was like we had all known her for years. She was able to adapt to everyones particular styles (even our moms), and we all felt so beautiful! I would highly recommend Lauren and We Only Do Pretty - you won't regret it! Thank you!!

Flawless Hair & Makeup Services

I used We Only Do Pretty for hair and makeup services for my wedding. Kristin was incredibly responsive and met with me for a trial and a haircut prior to the wedding. She is friendly and creative and came up with a beautiful style that was perfect for me. Kristin also created beautiful styles for my bridesmaids and was fun and charismatic to work with. Lauren provided makeup services on the day of the wedding and was similarly fun and creative. She did an amazing job with my bridesmaids and family, who all have very different skin tones and types. Lauren was totally accommodating and also provided additional assistance with applying fake lashes. The whole experience was fun and the end result was beautiful and authentic. I would absolutely recommend We Only Do Pretty!

Amazing work and price!

My bridal party was just me and my Maid I’d Honor, and we had a difficult time finding a hair stylist who would travel to our location because it was just the two of us. Stacy from We Only Do Pretty did an incredible job on my gorgeous updo! It stayed perfect all day and all night, my curls held well and didn’t frizz our despite some misty rain during our outdoor ceremony, and Stacy made sure the ornate hair comb I wanted in my updo was perfectly pinned in and secure.

Additionally, Stacy was just wonderfully nice and fun to chat with. It was like having a friend come to do your hair. She was excellent and I couldn’t recommend her more. She also did a half-up style for my sister that looked stunning.

Beautiful bridal make uo

I had my bridal makeup done by We Only do Pretty, and I am very happy with the service they provided. Eliora did my hair and make up and she is beyond amazing. She listened and was very patient with my requests. I received a lot of compliments from my friends and family during the wedding. She and her team also did the HMU for my mom, MIL, bridesmaid and sponsors, and all their HMU were amazing. I highly recommend her and her team if you want to look like a million bucks on your wedding day.

Eliora is the sweetest soul I have ever met! She was so wonderful to work with and made all of my bridesmaids and myself look so beautiful on my wedding day. Before I met Eliora, I set up a trial run prior to my wedding and cancelled last minute! She was very nice and understanding! Then during my trial run she took her time, making sure she created the hairstyle I had envisioned for my wedding day. Then, the day of my wedding, I wanted to change it up a bit from our trial run (I’m so indecisive) and she had no problem and made my hair look so gorgeous! Thank you Eliora for you time and patience! You are the best stylist I have ever been to and my bridesmaids and myself felt so beautiful!

I was a bit stressed when it came to hair & makeup because I live in Chicago and the wedding was going to be 3 hours away. I did a lot of research and stumbled across We Only Do Pretty and I'm so glad that I decided to reach out. Kristen responded super fast and before I knew it, I was meeting with Eliora for hair and Lauren for make up. I brought in Pinterest pictures and I've had it happen before where I don't get what I ask for but that didn't happen at all this time. I was so pleased with the results that I decided to book We Only Do Pretty without going to any more trials. Eliora and Lauren were super helpful before the wedding and answered any and all questions that I had. The day of, they were there bright and early with super fun and positive attitudes - they're so awesome! All of my bridesmaids were happy with their hair and makeup and obviously, I was too! Before we left, they did random touch ups for everyone and then we were on our way. My hair and makeup stayed put the entire time, even through all the super sweat (90+ July day), ugly crying, and dancing. My experience with We Only Do Pretty didn't end there though because I had a wedding part II in the city (short and sweet religious ceremony) and Lauren (and probably everybody) went above and beyond to make it work so that I could have my hair and makeup done on a Saturday morning (super busy day in the wedding world) - all done on short notice. This time, Kristen did my hair and Lauren W. did my makeup and I was super happy with the results...again! If you are searching for hair and makeup for your wedding, We Only Do Pretty will not disappoint!

We Only Do Pretty was our hair and makeup team for our wedding in June. They were amazing. I highly recommend booking them for your wedding. Everything went so smooth and I had full faith in them because they were so professional and responsive from the beginning. I actually hired them only a couple of weeks before my wedding, and they were able to make it work! They were so talented, nice and extremely organized. I really appreciated their willingness to help in a pinch since I had to find a new hair and makeup team on short notice. I loved my hair and makeup, and Eliora did an amazing job with my updo. I had a hard time picking which one I liked best after the trial! She and Kristen did an amazing job, and all my girls looked so beautiful. I truly loved how I looked and I have never felt more beautiful. I need to find excuses to get my hair and makeup done now! I'm really happy that they were part of my wedding.

I got married on May 27, 2018 and Kristin came to my venue and did my hair and makeup as well as my mom and my two bridesmaids. She did fabulous on all of us and my hair and makeup lasted all night. I couldn't have asked for anything more perfect. THANK YOU! - I will post a picture when I receive them!

I had a great experience with We Only Do Pretty from the very beginning. Before I came in for a trial they answered all of my questions and let me send in photos of the hair and makeup I wanted so they could give me opinions and recommendations. They tried a few different hair and makeup styles on me at my trial to see which one looked best which was really helpful. They traveled from the city to the suburbs for my wedding and they showed up on time and ready to work. They were very professional, friendly, and fun through the whole day and my whole bridal party looked amazing! My specific artist was Eliora and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a unique/non traditional look!

Working with Eli and Kristin was nothing short of perfect! From the beginning they were responsive and fun to work with. Everything from booking the hair/makeup for the day of the wedding, my hair/makeup trial, and the day of! First, they come to us the day of and were early! We were on-time throughout the day, everyone's looked amazing, and it was just about as perfect of a day. Eli did my hair and makeup and she knew how to make a bride feel beyond special. I have already recommended them to friends!

It was a last minute decision to hire We Only Do Pretty after my original hair/makeup girl fell through. And it was the perfect decision. Kristin and Lauren are so personable and they made everyone feel so comfortable. All of my bridesmaids had looks that suited them, the hairstyles were fresh and modern. Lauren did a great job listening to how each girl wanted to look and adjusted her makeup application accordingly. Kristin and Lauren actually finished early even after doing touch-ups for everyone. I’d recommend these two in a heartbeat!

From start to finish this was the easiest process ever. They were responsive, unbelievably reasonable, and flexible with the group I had at my wedding. Eliora and Kristin did hair and makeup for me, my Mom, my sister's, a few friends, Mother-in-law, and sister-in-law. They were early and kept to the schedule but took their time with everyone. We all looked amazing! I did an updo that stayed put all night. They truly made me and everyone feel gorgeous!!

I can't say enough good things about Kristin! She is super personable and made me feel taken care of from the first meeting. She has unrivaled passion and energy for her work and it shows. I only booked myself for hair and makeup, my maid of honor for makeup and my flower girls for hair and light makeup, but Kristin traveled to meet us. She made sure my extensions were flawless a few weeks before my wedding and was able to do my hair and makeup trial to coincide with a special occasion. I told her I didn't know a whole lot about makeup and she was able to create a look I loved after asking a few questions. She recreated a hairstyle I loved for my wedding and it looked amazing! I've continued to go to her to have my extensions maintained and I enjoy going in to see her each time. I will 100% continue to work with Kristin if there is another special occasion I need a HMUA for!

I had the best experience using We Only Do Pretty! Eliora was so nice and totally understood my vision and helped bring it to life. I absolutely loved my hair and makeup and all my girls looked gorgeous too. Plus, everything lasted all day and night. They were on time, stayed on schedule and so fun to hang out with all morning. I would absolutely recommend them in a heartbeat.

Thank you to Eliora at We Only Do Pretty for making me look the best I've ever looked for my wedding day on November 4! My hair and makeup were absolutely perfect, and I received so many compliments. I truly appreciated how Eliora listened to exactly what I wanted during my trial, and executed it beautifully on my big day. My hair and makeup lasted through the night (even a little rain and lots of happy tears!). Eliora also did hair and makeup for my mom, as well as makeup for my mother in law and one of my bridesmaids. Hair and makeup was one of the things I was most nervous about for my wedding, and I cannot tell you how happy I am that I found Eliora and We Only Do Pretty. Kristin made sure that the entire process was seamless, from answering my questions at the start, scheduling my trial, and arranging travel and day of details, and I can say with confidence that you won't be disappointed if you choose We Only Do Pretty.

Their beauty team is amazing. I am allergic to waterproof mascara and was worried about having a reaction on my wedding day. Lauren contacted other makeup specialties and dermatologists to find a product that would be waterproof and safe for me to use.
On my wedding day the team brought an extra person to the bridal suite to ensure we would not get behind schedule. My bridesmaids and I had a relaxing day getting ready and all looked amazing.

I had an outdoor wedding in 95 degree weather and everyone's makeup and hair stayed looking perfect! Simply Amazing!!!

Kristen is an absolute joy to work with. From the promptness of communication to the openness to try different styles for hair and makeup, this was honestly the best service I'd had in any wedding I've been in. All of us looked beautiful and it was so nice of her to offer to come to Chicago at 7am even though she lives in the suburbs. I would recommend her to anyone who asks!

We Only Do Pretty is a phenomenal team! They were so much fun to work with. They made me feel so beautiful and confident on my wedding day. The make-up looked natural and was gorgeous in-person as well as in all of our pictures. My wedding was in the middle of summer and the make-up still lasted all day/night! At my hair and make-up trial they listened to what I wanted and shared in my vision. They were patient and so helpful when I needed opinions on styles. They made sure I was completely satisfied before leaving and even followed-up with me a couple days later to see if there were any changes I wanted to make. They also did the hair and make-up on six bridesmaids, my mom, and the mother of the groom. Despite having to do hair and make-up on 9 people, we never had any issues with timing-in fact, they put us ahead of schedule! They took their time on each person and gave everyone exactly what they wanted. They were incredible and I would recommend them to anyone!

One of the best decisions I made for our wedding was booking We Only Do Pretty! Their name says it all, Kirstin & Lauren are amazingly talented in what they do. As a bride, one of my biggest fears was not looking beautiful or not myself on my wedding day but I was in GREAT hands. We Only Do Pretty made me look and feel absolutely beautiful!! They did my hair and makeup and also did my bridesmaids, my Mom and Aunt as well. Everyone looked amazing. They are also super fun to work with as well as very professional. I loved everything they did & would recommend them to anyone!

We worked with Lauren and Brittany, and they were wonderful! As someone who doesn't usually put in a lot of effort to hair and makeup, they did a great job of making it all feel natural but still look amazing both in person and in our photos! They were so pleasant to work with, and so professional. I would recommend them in a heartbeat! And the cost was great too! Having them come to us was the perfect way to reduce the stress of the day. Stellar work from stellar people. They provided the following services: bridal hair/makeup, MOH makeup, hair for 3 sisters, makeup for 1 sister, hair/lip gloss for flower girl, travel to our venue.

Kristen and team were amazing to work with throughout the whole process. They were able to guide us on timeline for the day and they showed up ready to go, with a smile on their face and eager to give the ladies exactly what they wanted. Even though they there were many girls, including myself, getting their hair makeup and lashes done, everything ran on time and everyone looked amazing. They do great work and they are very efficient which is so important on your wedding day for staying on schedule. My hair and makeup stayed in place and looked fabulous the entire day even through outfit changes.

I absolutely loved my experience with We Only Do Pretty! They were very easy to work with, extremely professional and fun to be around on my big day. Eliora was our on-site hair and makeup artist and she is beyond talented. She took her time with each bridesmaid to understand exactly what they wanted. There’s nothing better to work with a vendor on your big day that gets along with all of your bridal party, it made that morning so much more enjoyable. They’re pricing was great for an on location hair and makeup company.

Kristin is a goddess miracle worker. She did hair and make-up for me, my mom, and my bridesmaids. She took her time with each of us and we were done ahead of schedule. We were all so happy with how we looked and it lasted all night. Also, booking was a breeze and she was always available if I had questions or wanted her opinion on styles. We love you Kristin!!

Kristin and her team are amazing. They are very professional and caring. They helped create such a fun environment for the morning of my wedding. My bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law seemed to have such an amazing time. Her team does an amazing job while putting everyone at ease. For one of my bridesmaids, it was her first time ever having her hair or make up done. The team was so great at "breaking" her in and even convinced her to put on fake eye lashes! Their demeanor and attitude helped me to just enjoy my wedding morning without worry.

Kristin & Lauren were a dynamic duo and had all 10 or so of us looking amazing! They are so much fun, warm, and comfortable to work with. My wife & I liked them so much, we asked if they could do our hair & makeup for another wedding we were attending! Seriously top notch service and the best personalities you could ask for - we'd work with them over and over again.

I can't even put into words how amazing it was to work with Kristin and her team. Kristin was always so patient and responsive with me the last few months. During and after my trial, she asked for feedback so she could do exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. I also purchased extensions from her and she styled and colored them on multiple occasions, no questions asked. She put me at ease on my wedding day and felt more like a friend than a vendor. My mother, mother-in-law, bridesmaids and I all looked so beautiful with our hair and our makeup looked natural and not caked on. I am so pleased looking at my wedding pictures and it's all thanks to Kristin and Stacy. Thank you so much, ladies!!!!

I used We only Do Pretty for our wedding on August 11 - sorry so late in putting this review up - 5 stars? Can I put 10?

We had Kristin (and a colleague - I am so sorry I forgot her name) come do my wedding hair and make up (and a group of other ladies too). Honestly best value for money in Chicago.

If you are "natural" bride like myself who shy's away from heavy makeup then this is your team. Kristin listened and if I had a change she happily did it no drama. I had a trial run because I had this huge anxiety about my makeup looking (frankly) cheap and flaky. I have seen some makeup artists in Chicago where you can see the makeup and that wasn't for me at all. Kristin was happy to oblige and made me feel truly calm about it. Higher them. They are totally worth it. Thanks again ladies!! I have already recommended you to a friend who is getting married in October 2018. I will keep the recommendations coming!

Lauren, Kristin, and everyone else at We Only Do Pretty were the perfect team for my wedding day. On the big day they showed up early and left a little later than scheduled per our needs and with no complaints. They are a gracious and friendly team and were especially good at providing the emotional support I needed! They were organized, calm, and collected. They didn't even bat an eyelash when I told them I wanted my makeup done a little differently from the trial. The absolute best feeling is your husband telling everyone at the wedding "Doesn't she look like a movie star?!" So mission accomplished beauty team! Definitely recommend!

I had the pleasure of working with Eliora and Lauren for my wedding day hair and makeup, respectively. The two of them were so wonderful and fun to work with! I went to them with little to no direction of what I wanted and they did a great job. They also did hair and makeup for my mom and bridesmaids. They stayed very much on track time-wise and we even had time to spare to relax once everyone's was finished.

During my trial, Eliora did a fantastic job of creating a hairstyle that was gorgeous and easy to wear. On the day of, she effortlessly recreated the hairstyle identical to what she did during the trial. She also placed my hair accessory and veil perfectly... UNDER the bun, for the win! ;)

Lauren started out by asking me what my makeup consists of on a daily, and "going out" basis to get an idea for my style. I decided to change my look completely about a week before the wedding. Without a repeat trial, Lauren executed it more perfectly than I imagined on the day of.

With regard to the products used, the airbrush makeup was fantastic. When they say it is sweat proof and cry proof, they mean it! For a July wedding in Chicago, I was definitely sweating. The makeup did not budge one bit. I looked beautiful and got compliments all day long. We Only Do Pretty gives you a mini emergency kit of hairspray, pins, blotting papers, and lipstick which is a very nice touch.

I was so satisfied with their services, I saw Eliora a few weeks after my wedding for a haircut at their salon. I'm so glad I found them!

I cannot say enough good things about the women at We Only Do Pretty! Hair and makeup is not typically a huge priority for me, so I was a little bit stressed about that part of the wedding planning process. From the second I walked into the trial that stress melted away. Julia and Jean are so great at what they do and I immediately felt at ease with them. I absolutely loved my hair and makeup and my bridesmaids, mom & mother in law did too! Compared to other salons I inquired at the pricing was very reasonable and the services were worth every penny!

We used Eliora from We Only Do Pretty for our May 28, 2017 wedding in Chicago. I knew immediately after my trial with Eliora that she was the one for our wedding services! She took the examples I showed her and executed them beautifully on me. Eliora and the We Only Do Pretty team were so easy to work with for scheduling and nailing down details. The month or two leading up to a wedding can be very busy and stressful but working with Eliora was easy and stress free. On our wedding day, Eliora took care of hair and makeup for me, my mom & sister, and a handful of my BFFs and everyone looked flawless. I felt like the best version of myself which is what you want! Plus, Eliora is so cool, relaxed, friendly, and calm. On a day that is going one hundred miles an hour, that's exactly what you want! You won't regret using We Only Do Pretty!

Kristin & Lauren did such an AMAZING job with my hair and makeup for my wedding. I've never felt so beautiful in my entire life, and they really captured the look that I was going for. All of the ladies in my wedding who received their services looked gorgeous. The makeup (even the lipstick!!) stayed all day and throughout the night. My hair held so well and looked fresh the entire evening. I couldn't recommend them more to anyone who is looking for amazing hair and makeup services!!

Due to circumstances beyond our control, the wedding was moved from destination wedding in Caribbean to the bride's hometown of Chicago two weeks before the wedding. I contacted We Only Do Pretty 2 weeks-10 days before the wedding. Their prompt and responsive reply was much appreciated as the stress levels were extremely high. The wedding date and timing worked with their schedule.
On the wedding day, we were so very pleased with Lauren and Eliora services. Both are so talented, polite, fun and did amazing work with our hair and makeup. I'd highly recommend We Only Do Pretty!

I was SO happy I booked with this amazing team! Kristin was wonderful - super responsive and helpful leading up to the wedding to get all of my details in place. I worked with Eliora for my services and she was spot on for hair and makeup. I had a pretty large bridal party so I was a little worried about timing but Brittany and Eliora handled things with ease. I was so impressed and amazed at how kind, efficient, creative and talented they both were. We even had some additions the day of and they were great about it and had everyone done in time. All of our makeup and hair looked amazing - some of the girls showed pictures beforehand and others just had Eliora and Brittany come up with something. I would highly recommend them!!

The name is true! I felt so pretty after hair and makeup, which is important before a boudoir shoot ;)
They also gave accommodating pricing for my pixie cut. Great conversation and very talented, thanks ladies!

I was so happy with Lauren, Kristin, and Eliora's professionalism, creativity, and style. They made the whole getting-ready experience fun and calming in a way I never thought possible the morning of my wedding! We had a big group of people getting services done (15 in total!) and these ladies made easy work of making each person look their best. Everyone looked stunning and hairstyles done at 10am still looked amazing at 10pm. These ladies were the best and I can't wait to recommend them to my friends!

Kristin has been cutting my hair for 3 years and when I got engaged I immediately booked her for my wedding hair! She also did a co-workers hair for her wedding and it looked beautiful! Her partner is great as well! We did a trial which is highly recommended. I had 10 people get hair and make-up on my wedding day, everything when smoothly, and we were always on schedule with just Kristin and her partner! I can't say enough wonderful things about them :)

First I would like to apologize that this "review" is coming in SO late. Secondly, LAUREN IS THE BEST! She made me look FABULOUS! I could not stop looking at MYSELF and my now husband could not stop staring at me on the altar! My niece even said that she was sick of hearing how "great grandma looked" because everyone was blown away! Everything was wonderful and perfect. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Sincerely,
Kate (Lally) Toan

I was very impressed with both my hair and makeup for my wedding. I would definitely recommend Kristin with We Only Do Pretty. She traveled to my venue to do hair and makeup for myself, a couple of my bridesmaids and my flower girl. Well worth the money that was spent.

Kristen and her team were AMAZING and made my wedding party feel so at home getting our hair and makeup done. She took the time to get to know each of the girls and understand how they wanted to look for the day. The makeup was flawless and lasted all day as did each of their up-dos. My wedding look was everything I could have hoped for and more. She took my vision and brought it to life. It was great hanging out in the morning and I felt so comfortable that Kristin had everything under control. I highly recommend We Do Pretty for your wedding. They won't disappoint and everyone will be thrilled with their look.

Eliora was amazing! I told her my vision for my hair on my wedding day and she truly listened and brought my vision to life. She also did several of bridesmaids' hair and every single one of them loved their hair and received several compliments from other guests. Eliora's bubbly and outgoing personality truly contributed to one of the best days ever. I highly recommend her for any occasion.

Lauren was the best. She stood out among all of our wedding vendors. She showed up on time, and our wedding planner was MIA, so Lauren took it upon herself to get organized and to start beautifying the bridesmaids. She did the make up of about 15 people- all were over the moon with their results. I had so many comments from my wedding party and family that they Loved their makeup and adored Lauren's "bedside manner!". Not to mention, it was a 90 degree day- outdoor wedding-- and our make up held up beautifully. I can't recommend Lauren enough. You will be so pleased with her!

Kristin was one of the first vendors I booked for my wedding! (Ladies Hair & Makeup should be top priority here DO NOT WAIT to book!) I had a destination wedding and it was important to me to have here there with me. She did the hair, makeup, and lashes for myself, 5 bridesmaids, 2 Moms, and 3 flower girls. Everyone had a customized style and palate to suit their style and she made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. Bonus for me I also had two hair styles! (Down for the ceremony and up for the party!) I'd highly recommend her, and have already to my closest friends and family!

Kristin and team were fabulous on my big day. Kristin did my make up - which I loved. We did a trial run for my shower and recreated the same look on the day of my wedding. It was perfect and lasted the entire night. On the day of my wedding, the We Only Do Pretty team came to my hotel suite where my bridesmaids and I were getting ready. It was so convenient and everyone loved their hair and make up. I highly recommend them for your wedding day.

Eliora is an incredible stylist and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She did my bridal hair and makeup, in addition to the maid of honor and mother of the bride. I enjoyed the whole experience from beginning to end, she was very professional and shows a lot of passion and perfection in her work. Everyone loved their styled hair and makeup and I think a big part of this was the fact that she really took the time to ask each of us what we wanted and completely personalized our looks. What's more, everything looked flawless all day long!

Eliora did an amazing job on hair and make-up for myself and my three bridesmaids. I did a trial prior to the wedding so we were able to perfect the look that I wanted. I brought in pictures of styles I liked and she provided great feedback based on my hair thickness and what would work to keep the updo intact all day & night. On the morning of the wedding, she consulted with each of the bridesmaids on their desired looks and executed each flawlessly. She has the great ability to make you look naturally beautiful. We all received so many compliments. I would highly recommend her!

Kristin and her team were incredible for my wedding day! They serviced myself (bride), 3 moms and 6 bridesmaids. The 3 stylists were able to complete hair and makeup for all 10 of us in a timely manner and everything looked incredible. My bridesmaids are still talking about how much they LOVED their hair and makeup. All of their looks stayed the entire day and photographed extremely well. I highly recommend considering Kristin and her team for your wedding! Her prices are competitive and the care and quality of service are well worth it!

I love this vendor! Kristen does a great job of making sure her team provides the best service possible to all of the bridal party. They were fun and relaxed and made sure all of the women recieved the hair/makeup they wanted. She event went the extra mile to check hair a little after it had been sitting and did minor touch ups. She is flexible in any sitaution and totally fun to be around which made the morning of that much better. Her team is great!

The girsl at We Only Do Pretty were fantastic. They were very accomodating and handled our large group very well! They were so helpful with different allergies and skin types. Having hair and makeup come to me on my wedding day was such a relief and we were done in plenty of time for pictures/transportation/ect.

Kristin did 2 trials with me. I didnt love the 1st, but the 2nd was great!

The morning of she arrived at the hotel on time and cheery for a rainy day at 8am.

She did 4 of our hair and makeup in a quick and easy 4 hours. My one sister didnt like her hair, but kristin changed the style and she loved it!

Overall, I would definitely recommend We Only Do Pretty!

Everyone looked awesome

My makeup was amazing and my hair looked cute. The ladies were patient and so talented. Their attitudes were so positive and fun. We got ready in a hotel and I even got complimented by a stranger in the elevator. Both hair and makeup lasted all night. Everyone looked amazing.

Just know your trial will not be the same day of

I had a hard time from the beginning with this team. My initial trial was not with someone certified to do makeup which I did not know the first time. They were nice enough to comp the first trial and give me a second with a different artist. It was OK. I decided to do a second trial of make up and I loved it. The day of my wedding my makeup was completely different than both trials and it was so white the photographer said I had to fix it. The second trial with hair was like a half holding my hair up and telling me what it would look like and that I would not be happy unless I bought $320 extensions. I felt pressured so bought them. The day of, since my make up was not correct I was an hour late and missed photographs with my bridesmaids and rushed through photos with my parents. Very disappointed. A few bridesmaids liked their hair and makeup and a few did not. If you have high expectations I would not recommend this company unfortunately.
