I could not recommend Tamara Makeup and Hair Artistry enough! I truly felt the most beautiful I…read morehave ever looked on my wedding day thanks to their incredible team. Tamara did my spray tan, and it looked so natural. I felt confident and glowing without it looking overdone. My hair was done by Jody and my makeup by Alina, and I honestly cannot say enough good things about them. They are unbelievably talented at what they do, and I absolutely loved how everything turned out. I received so many compliments on my hair, makeup, and spray tan throughout and after my wedding day, and it was all thanks to Tamara, Jody, and Alina. My entire bridal party also had their hair and makeup done, and everyone looked absolutely beautiful. Everyone on the team was so welcoming, friendly, and wonderful to work with, which made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I truly felt taken care of from start to finish. If you're looking for a team that is professional, talented, and genuinely kind, Tamara Makeup and Hair Artistry is the absolute best choice!

I had read many reviews great of Elana Darrus company and seeing wonderful photos to show the great…read morework as well which I assumed I would get as well, however I was extremely disappointed when I did not get the same level of work as I had expected. When I went in for my trial with Dana, I had a half up look with 2 twists back, the end result was messy and had Bobby pins sticking out a lot, I had assumed this was because it was the trial and we had moved the hair quite a bit and she didn't need to take the time to clean it up as it was the trial. I was wrong as this was the same result on wedding day. I had decided to simplify my half up look that I did at the trial just a little and one twist per side instead of two, but my stylist questioned me for wanting to change and was resistant of going with a small variation. I showed her a photo for reference and was very clear in explaining and showing her what I wanted. My hair was nothing close to what I asked for, when she first showed me in the mirror what the back looked like I was left speechless and honestly horrified because it was nothing what I asked for and looked like a mess. I had to bring my mom and sister over to help see what she was doing with the back of my hair because she wasnt understanding how to clean up the style and to style it the way i asked. She didn't listen to what I wanted, did the opposite of what I asked and I was in tears sitting in her chair because I knew that my hair was not going to look how I wanted on my wedding day and had little faith that she could make it look like what I even remotely wanted. Eventually I gave up trying to tell her and show her exactly what I wanted and accepted that my hair wasn't going to be what I wanted because I was then running out of time and had to continue getting ready. I look back at the photos and am sad and embarrassed about how my hair looked that day. My bridesmaids and mom also had issues with both Dana and her partner Monika of them not listening to what they wanted and the styles looking much different than the inspiration photos given. My hair also did not stay secure and pinned up, it fell out completely during the reception and I resorted to putting my hair up myself. I am really disappointed and honestly wish I had done my hair myself, it would have saved me stress and tears on my wedding day and I know I would have actually liked my hair. I am not one to typically write about my negative experiences, but as many are looking for a hairstylist for your wedding day, I want the brides to have the best experience on their wedding day and to be happy, so to proceed with caution when booking.

Working with Dori was a rare and rewarding experience. My bucket list included finding an…read moreexceptional make up artist so that I can finally apply make up correctly and in the best way for me. I found these skills with Dori. Dori is an artist who brought a refined creative vision and a strong sense of professionalism to our appointment. She described clearly how to apply make up and complimented and supported me along the way. Her work blended imagination with precision. What sets Dori apart, along with her artistic expertise, is her down-to-earth presence. She's approachable, easy to collaborate with, and genuinely listens--qualities that make her not only a gifted creative, but also a true partner in the artistic process. Dori brings authenticity, warmth, and a quiet confidence that elevates everything around her. I wholeheartedly recommend Dori for any make up endeavor as she is the kind of artist who makes ideas come to life and people feel lucky to be part of the journey. Thank you Dori!

I cannot express how happy we were with Angela Makeup Chicago! From start to finish, Angela was…read moregreat to work with. Joey, her hair stylist, was fantastic as well. Angela was professional, responsive, and very friendly! My bridal trial was great, and she was quick to make any adjustments if we wanted to go darker/lighter on any makeup. I have rosacea and Angela helped to ensure I was covered on my big day! There were 6 of us total for hair and makeup and Angela and Joey were able to get us all done in the allotted time. On the day of the wedding, Angela and Joey made everyone feel at ease, which was so important through the stress of the day! My bridesmaids all made comments about how nice and funny they were. Angela Makeup Chicago was by far my favorite vendor and I highly recommend to anyone looking for hair and makeup!

She was helpful in finding a time that worked with both her artist (Ashley) and my schedule to arrange a trial. On the day of my wedding, Ashley arrived on time. She is really nice and my girls were raving about their makeup that she had already done before mine. My makeup looked even more stunning on the big day than it did at the trial! Most importantly, I have very sensitive skin and none of the products that were used bothered my skin at all. All three of us had airbrush makeup that held up throughout the day and into the night. We have already given these ladies info out to two of our friends that are getting married next year...they are that good!

Rosemary was super responsive over e-mail from the first inquiry, throughout the entire process. She came to my hotel room and did such a great job. In addition, Rosemary was professional, on time, very friendly and made me feel at ease as well as like a movie star. I did the makeup trial for my engagement photos. My makeup in the engagement photos and wedding photos looked amazing and lasted through my very long wedding day -- 16 hours. Rosemary is based downtown. She'll come to you - city or suburbs.

Probably fine for a bride who wants the social media celebrity bridal look. reasonably priced. No so good - late for both consult calls, does not seem to know how to do a bridal look other than glam. Bridal consult took 6 hours to come up with a look the bride did not want to go with. Communication was a challenge. Nicole gave up (my perception) when the bride asked for a different look. It was a relief when she advised us that she could not accommodate the look the bride wanted. The experience soured me on this entire "bridal make- up" thing. But again, for those really into make up or you want that "look", Nicole's style can work for you.
