Carla is the BEST!!! I had Carla to do my wedding makeup and hair for my wedding on August 7, 2011. I don't wear makeup and never use product in my hair, so I had no idea what to expect. Carla is so friendly and easy to work with. I told her that I wanted natural look and she did just that--my makeup was absolutely perfect and she did a fabulous job with my hair! I can't express how happy I am with what Carla had done. She's just wonderful. We will take some pictures in Chicago after the wedding, I am booking Carla again for hair and makeup for photo shoot. If you are looking for wedding hair and makeup, look no further--Carla is your answer. Best of all, Carla travels to where you are! I give my highest recommendations to Carla!!! read more

The convenience of having hair and make-up girls working for the same company is what makes this place so worthwhile. Plus, they arrange the schedule/timing for you, and they come to you, wherever you're getting ready. I used them for my wedding party (myself, 4 bridesmaids, my mom, and 1 flower girl) and it worked great having everyone come to my home. You pay for everything upfront before the event, including a 20% tip (not a huge fan of tipping before a service, but, it is what it is I guess). My girls arrived early and did an awesome job. Thank you! read more

Appease - Makeup Artists Near Me - Lombard, Illinois

I used Appease for my bridesmaids and mothers hair. Overall the hair styles were good and they were happy. The stylist arrived early and was eager to get started. The reason I am giving 3 stars instead of 4, is due the lack of communication prior to the wedding. I had a hard time reaching Appease to confirm that an artist was coming and knew the venue. As any bride knows, communication is everything and this added to the stress the week leading up to the wedding. read more

Amanda, from Appease, was incredible! She did my hair and make-up for my wedding along with my maid of honor's hair and make-up. She did a stunning job!! She also is super chill and takes into consideration your style desires. I would use their services in a heart beat for any event! Thank you again for creating a beautiful look on my wedding day!! read more

NIGHTMARE! I don't normally write reviews but being in the service industry, I can't let this experience go. We hired Appease hair salon for my sister's wedding because they had good ratings. They definitely don't deserve it. We paid $1300 for hair and makeup. What we got was sheer disappointment on my sister's most important day of her life. Our problem was primarily with one woman, named Sandy, who did 2 of the member of our party. They were so dissatisfied with Sandy's work that both of the ladies washed their faces and did their own make up for the wedding. After I saw Sandy's work on both of my friends, I decided NOT to have her do my make up at all. It was the attitude we got during the event and when we even called the owner to express our disappointments we were told the blame was somehow on us. We didn't ask for a refund on the ladies that weren't satisfied, we wanted to see what could be compensated for the one who didn't get the make up done at all. We never got any compensation which should be the gold standard in a customer-oriented business. Instead we were the blame. IF you're looking for a 5 star experience, search else where. They do not deserve your business. The owner doesn't care to fix the situation and left us feeling even worse. I understand if your employees make a mistake ... it is up to you as an owner to make things right. read more

If I could rate this salon and my entire experience based on the personalities of the people who worked with my wedding party and I, I would give them 5 stars hands down! Carrie, Stacey (nail tech), Vickie (airbrush tanning), and the woman doing pedicures (I can't remember her name) were all very accomodating and extremely nice and personable and we all had a great time. Unforntunately, we were all very disappointed with the overall quality of our services. Myself and three of my bridesmaids came in for pedicures, shellac manicures and airbrush tans. I get shellac manicures very freuqently so I know how they are supposed to turn out. Mine was lumpy and uneven. I was okay with the surface not being perfect because no one but me would notice and from a distance my nails looked great. My disappointment came when just three days later it starting chipping and peeling at the edges. This while I'm on my honeymoon! One of the great things about shellac (normally) is that it lasts for at least 10 days. One of my bridesmaids had one of her nails completely peel off THE VERY NEXT DAY! Something was obviously being done incorrectly as it should last much, much longer. The pedicures were also sub-par. The paint job itself was okay but we were disappointed with the pedicure itself (filing, cuticles, buffing of calluses, etc). The color of the tan was amazing. It was natural and gorgeous for all my girls. We were all thrilled and it looked like we just got back from vacation! However, we were told that after our second shower and no more than 48 hours later, the color would stop coming off on clothing, in the shower, etc. This was not the case for me. Unfortunately, my rehearsal dinner dress is ruined because the tan came off on the dress. I was petrified that my wedding dress would share the same fate. Although it wasn't nearly as bad as the rehearsal dinner dress, color DID come off under the armpit area. I understand that it's fake color but I just wish I had been given fair warning that this might happen...if that was the case I never would have done the airbrush thing. Sorry to give Appease a not-so-great review as they were all just so very nice and great to work with. read more

Appease did makeup for my wedding downtown Chicago and I highly recommend their services! They makeup artists was on time, very professional, super friendly and did an awesome job! They kept everything on time, but still spent enough time with each bridesmaid and made sure everyone was happy and beautiful! The prices were reasonable and competitive with others I checked. Very positive experience all around! read more

Appease - Beautiful makeup! - Makeup Artists Near Me - Lombard, Illinois

For our July 2017 wedding, Carrie did my hair and makeup and it turned out incredible!!! Met Carrie a month prior at the Lombard salon for my hair and makeup trials. She listened to my goal and preferences and the transformation was incredible and exactly what I envisioned!! We both took before and after pictures of my hair and makeup. On our wedding day Carrie came to our hotel room, prompt and punctual! Once again the results and before and after were incredible! Carrie did hair for my flower girls as well. We had an outdoor ceremony during which I was overcome with emotion. Neither my tears nor the sun/warm temperature affected my makeup!! Long lasting and flawless. I wanted a dramatic look and it was perfect!! I very much appreciate the salon sending a follow-up email after my trials and wedding and inquired to see if I had any comments or concerns. Highly recommend Carrie to all future brides!! Thank you, Roxana read more

I chose Appease for my makeup + hair services, which worked perfectly for my venue in Galena, IL & the houses that we rented out! I worked with Elizabeth to coordinate artists; she is so responsive and easy to work with! I could not have been happier with selecting Appease for my makeup + hair services! Tanya did our hair and she was so easy to work, listened to what you wanted, and made sure that you were completely happy with how your hair turned out. She was very patient, flexible, easy-going, kind, talented, + shared in our excitement for the day! I couldn't be happier with her being a part of my special day + she truly made an impact on our wedding day. Pierre did our makeup and I could not say enough about Pierre. WOW. My girls and I absolutely LOVED him!!!!! He was professional from the get go and provided such great energy for the day!!!! He was an absolute pleasure to have during the morning of us getting ready for my wedding!! He was exceptional in doing our makeup - everyone looked STUNNING. He was also super efficient with his time without making the morning feel rushed and he gave 110% to everyone!!! I wish Pierre could do my makeup everyday!! He also keeps all of his products clean, which I appreciated. He genuinely cares about making you happy and making sure you feel beautiful. I ended up running late the morning of my wedding, because I decided to open my gift from my fiance and the gift opening process ended up taking WAY longer than I had expected, so I ended up missing my time slot for my makeup, but Pierre came through under the pressure! He stayed calm, which kept me calm and he kept reassuring me and kept my spirits up, and made me feel beautiful in no time!! I seriously cannot say enough great things about him. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking for makeup services, and especially to brides, because he really helps enhance the excitement that you feel that morning and he is truly talented. THANK YOU!!! read more

I had such a great experience with Appease. Carrie was very responsive when coordinating pricing, my trial and the day of the wedding. She and Male arrived on time to get all 6 of us set in time for pictures and the ceremony and everyone loved their look! read more

I would like to thank Appease for their professional service. I found this company on-line when I was getting ready for my wedding. I read the reviews and most of them were good so I decided to give it a try. I had a trial hair and make up with Carla and Carrie and I was very happy with what they created so I ordered the bridal package and it was the right decision. My makeup and hair lasted all day and even after hours of waiting, ceremony and dancing I still looked fresh and not a single hair was out of place which was amazing. They were on time, professional and friendly - that's exactly what you expect from the service provider! Thank you once again for making me feel the most beautiful bride :) Sincerely, Daria read more

I had an amazing experience w/Appease and was extremely pleased with the professionalism and quality of service for the "Girls Night In" that I had for myself and a group of my gal pals! =) We had facials, no chip mani/pedis, and mini massages and the whole experience was delightful. The price was right and the girls that they sent for the party were a blast! My mani still looks good and we got so many compliments and feedback on Facebook from the pics we sent from our party of other girlfriends who want to do a party too!! I wish I could get a commission from all the requests I got from friends who never heard of Girls Night In parties!! A very fun and unique idea. Next time, we are going to have the girls come and do our nails, makeup and hair while we sip our wine and prepare together for the next Girls Night OUT!! Thank you Appease!!!!!!! read more

Long over due! (for more than one reason) Our wedding was back in the summer if 2010. The girls' hair that Carla did fix, she did a nice job with. And my wife's makeup looked great. However, the business end of Appease is terrible. We were charged for people that never got their hair done because Carla was almost 2 hours late. She did not have time. We made the choice to have a few of our girls get their hair done at their own home since there was not enough time. We were told that because we made that choice, we would still be charged (even though Carla could not finish everyone that was there on time!) We were promised some money back and a gift card, but as of today (over a year later) we have not seen or heard anything. With many phone calls and emails to Appease to resolve the issue, I was told many terrible excuses as to why we could not get a full refund for the people that did not get their hair done. Again, I am not asking for anything other than getting my money back for services not provided. We were willing to pay for all the services that they did provide. It is a shame because they did a nice job with my wife's hair and make-up, but I would never recommend them based on their business ethics. *Update* I understand what Carrie is saying in her comment back. This is exactly what she told us. However, not all of what she said is true. 1. Everyone else with our wedding made it on time. This includes our photographer (who was coming from the north side of Chicago), all of our wedding party (some of which were coming from the Loop), our florist, our Priest, and all of our guests. The rain started at 9:45 the previous night, everyone else planned accordingly starting then. 2. Two of the bridesmaids that did not "make it" to the house did not come because the Bride told them. This is because there was no time because of the tardiness of our stylist. One of the bridesmaids that was there on time only had her hair put up in a ponytail by the stylist. 3. The third girl did not make it to our wedding. We asked Appease for the money back for her hair and markup because this girl, the maid of honor and sister of the bride, was hospitalized the night before due to a medical emergency. However, Appease showed no empathy and we were forced to pay in full for her. 4. All the bridesmaids made it with plenty of time, despite the weather. 5. Yes, we were told that a credit was mailed to us. However, it never appeared and we never heard back from many of our calls about it. After trying for a few months, we give up due to the lack of interest and respect from the company. 6. Again, we were only asking for a refund for services not provided (due to their tardiness and a medical emergency). I understand the policy at Appease, but I do not see how their tardiness is our responsibility. Having been an out of the ordinary situation, I thought they would show compassion. read more

I found Appease through Wedding Wire (a Yelp-like site specifically for wedding vendors), and booked them based on their reasonable prices and good reviews. I'm satisfied with my experience, although I wish a few things had been different. Carrie (the owner) scheduled two stylists to do hair for nine people and hair and makeup for me. She was very responsive to email and answered all my questions thoroughly. The stylist that did my hair and makeup, Peggy, was wonderful as well. I had an allergic reaction to the foundation she used during my trial, but she was able to use another brand for the big day. Without sounding egotistical, I looked amazing. I would give Peggy five stars if I could. This other hair stylist, Laura, was another story. She called me the day before the wedding and asked if she could start working at 8 a.m. instead of 8:30 as she had to "be somewhere" later in the day. I said 8:30 really worked better for us, and she testily agreed to be there at our pre-scheduled time. When she arrived, she brought a really bad attitude with her. First, she asked that we play music in our hotel room while she did the bridesmaids' hair. We had wanted to play music, which was no problem, so we turned on some upbeat Motown stuff to get us in a happy mood. She then said she didn't like the music and wanted something else. First of all, she asked for the music to be turned on. Also, as it was my wedding and a day I wanted my friends and family to enjoy, I thought it was rude to ask us to change the music. She also made snide comments to every bridesmaid she worked on, "you're hair is too thin" or "you'll never be able to wear that style." I understand that not every person has the right hair texture/length for certain styles, but she just shot everyone down instead of suggesting alternatives. She also kept mentioning that she was scheduled to do seven people while Peggy was only doing three. Sorry Laura, but that's not my problem. Peggy also volunteered to do any hair that Laura didn't have time for, so I had little sympathy for her. Finally, toward the end of her scheduled time, Laura took one of the bagels that my friend had brought for the wedding party without asking first. Only after she had eaten half the bagel did she ask if she could have it. I would have had no problem giving her a bagel, but she didn't ask first. For someone who was hired as a hair stylist, she walked around our room as if she were the bride who needed to be pampered. In her defense, Laura did a good job on all the bridesmaids' hair. However, her bad attitude put everyone on edge. I would recommend Appease to other brides, but ask who your stylists will be before booking them. read more

I had the pleasure of using Appease for my wedding and it was nothing short of amazing! I gave NO direction (sorry ladies) and was probably less than helpful and somehow they still figured it out and did exactly what I couldn't express that I wanted. I have worked with Carrie before and seen her perform so naturally I was totally sad when I found out she was booked on our day (not her fault, I waited WAY too long). Carrie gave me recommendations of other team members and ensured I was able to specifically have a trial with them and that I was 100% confident before making anything final. She checked in on me multiple times and found little ways here and there to be present despite not being with me on the big day. Amanda and Myriam were my stylists. I was very worried about my hair bc it can be....difficult to work with but Amanda executed flawlessly. She was calm, patient, and friendly. She must have asked me 10 times if I was completely satisfied which I really appreciated. Amanda was put into a particularly stressful situation when some of my bridesmaids weren't ready to get their hair done at their assigned hour (by accident, no bad intentions) but she just figured out a game plan with the other stylists and made everything work (each of the other ladies totally stepping up to make it happen). I have been a pretty chill bride and the only time in literally a year and a half were I got a little testy was during that moment and the whole team (Amanda, Myriam, Laura, and Caroline) were so sweet. They let me have my moment and then they just picked up where they left off and never mentioned it again. Myriam is incredible! I loved my trial and I loved the day of. She was super friendly and is to date the only person in the world to apply fake lashes on me and have them stay all night! Laura and Caroline made my girls look INSANELY beautiful. I got just as emotional seeing them for the first time as I did my husband! A 15 person getting ready is by no means easy but they acted like it was just another day. They all arrived on time, ready to work, and once gone left literally no trace of ever having been there. They cleaned up after themselves, refused to take anything from me besides water, and were all around a joy to have. Carrie, Monica, and Elizabeth started the experience on the right foot and then the girls all followed. Thank you ladies! You made me feel like a princess on my big day! xoxo read more

Posting late because I thought I had posted but only posted to TheKnot. I feel as if I had a completely different experience from these reviews with 5 stars. I'm truly not one to complain but rather than confidence in my hair stylist, I felt very anxious and uneasy. When Carrie came over to my house for my hair trial, she seemed to rush through everything, which did not phase me because I understand she is busy, but when I asked that she let some curls out from being pinned and my sister suggested that she add a braid, Carrie sighed, seemed irritated, and said she would have to redo my hair then, as if it were an inconvenience for her. We were not sure why she would need to redo everything when the entire hairstyle took her maybe 25 minutes to do. After the trial, the more I looked at my hair, the less I liked the type of curl, but was very nervous to let Carrie know because of her reaction at my trial. I had a few girlfriends try out different curls on me to see if there was something I would like better. On the day of the wedding, Carrie arrived early and ready to go and was ahead on time. She came from a wedding earlier and had a wedding after mine. She didn't really make conversation with any of the girls but we understood because she must have been tired. Although, it did seem unprofessional. Almost everyone was happy with their hair but mentioned it felt rushed. My hair looked fine but ended up being re-curled by one of my bridesmaids who knew what I was looking for and knows my hair very well which is a shame. My sister showed a picture of a messy bun with a braid as her inspiration and Carrie not only told her she didn't want to do a braid on her, but then had a big attitude when my sister (very politely) mentioned that she would like to fix the bun, which looked like a bun that you had in your hair for a week and didn't brush, and to add a braid. It did not look like it was professionally done. It made myself, my sister, and a few other bridesmaids who were in the room feel very uncomfortable. I ended up having a few of my bridesmaids sit in the room with my sister because I didn't want her to feel bad. She paid in full plus tip (which Carrie added prior-to in the invoice) for her hair to be done and she deserved to have it done the way she wanted it. I believe Carrie could be a good hairstylist, I just believe that she is overly busy, which is not the fault of the customer, and she wasn't at her best for my trial or my wedding day. read more

I used Appease for my wedding. You get what you pay for at Appease. The company is very professional and easy to work with, but because they are a big company you interact with a lot of people that you never meet. I worked with one person paying my initial deposit, then another setting up the trials, and then the hair and makeup artists themselves. During the trial my hair was great but my eye makeup started running. My mom also wanted makeup, but her trial ended up with a lot of makeup caked on her face. I emailed the company about my concerns, and they stated that I could do a trial with a different makeup artist if I wanted, but also that the artist I worked with had been trying a new mascara, which she would not use on wedding day. I liked the personalities of both the hair and makeup artists, so I said I would stick with those that I had during my trial. On my wedding day, my eye makeup still ran (my sister was able to fix it), and partway through the day my hair and my bridesmaids' hair was all falling out and a bit flyaway. I have very fine hair, so whenever I do it myself this happens, but when I've been in other weddings and had other professionals do my hair this hasn't been a problem. Overall, everyone I worked with was very nice and open to hearing what I wanted, and then end-product was fine, but not fantastic. The price is right, however. (Posted on behalf of my wife) read more

They were half an hour late to getting there for my wedding so I was half an hour late getting to my wedding and it made everything horrible did my mother's hair horrible did her makeup horrible and it ruined my day and you don't get what you paid for . you could do it yourself 150 per person is ridiculous for the crap they do your hair and makeup read more

The girls yesterday were amazing! They did such a fantastic job! I have never felt more beautiful and the bridesmaids looked so pretty. They honestly did a great job all around and I don't have a single complaint. They were so friendly everything was timely and professional. I am so grateful!! read more

Our hair makeup was scheduled to begin at 6:30 in the morning. There was a distinct schedule written out for each girl with a time to start (created by appease!). The morning of my wedding, I went down to the "getting ready" room about 6:25 with my first girl scheduled at 6:30. It takes them about 15 minutes to set up so we thought for sure they would be there....no one was. We went up to the lobby. It was about 6:40, I hadn't heard anything from them so I shot an email. A few minutes later, I got a phone call saying they were getting off the highway and what room should they come to. When they arrived about 6:55 they say to me "Sorry we're late. I brought three girls, instead of the two we had talked about so we will still be fine. I thought about calling you to tell you we could start at 7, but didn't." Um....OK?? I get maybe you didn't want to call me on the morning of my wedding, or the day before, or a few days before. But really?? Instead, we got up earlier than we needed to and on the morning of my wedding, I was sitting in the hotel lobby not knowing where you were and starting to think of a back up plan. Well, naturally since they didn't get started until about 7:10, the schedule was completely shot. However, I was still thinking "well, this should be ok, there are three of them, we should end up on time." Not the case, I believe we ran about a half hour behind. My mom was scheduled for hair and makeup from 8:30-9:30. At 8:50 she said "well, I guess I better get myself started, you won't have time for me." They assured they would. Meanwhile I was scheduled from 8-9 and at 8:50 still did not have my hair started. I believe they started my hair updo about 9:15. I was finished at around 9:40. I think they started my mom about 9 or a little later. But I felt like they just powered through her and were just hurrying at this point. She felt awful about the way she looked and thought it was biggest waste of money. To their credit, my hair and makeup looked really good, my bridesmaid who had their hair/makeup done looked really nice as well! I really felt my mom got the short end of the stick in a big way. Beyond that, it seems to me the original schedule probably should have been at 6 with three girls, instead of 6:30 with 2, but certainly NOT 7:10!!! In addition, two of the women seemed like frenemies...they got along well enough and said they were friends but them kept snapping at eachother....it was pretty awkward. I guess, in the end all is well that ends well. We were late for pictures but on time to the ceremony and I felt great about how I looked, but I would not recommend..... read more

I just recently had my hair and makeup done for my NYE wedding from Carrie and Sunshine. They did a fantastic job and made me feel beautiful on my wedding day. They were so easy to work with, listened to my requests and ideas, and had a great time with me and my bridal party that morning. They were so nice and comfortable to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone! read more

Nightmare. (Chicago) I honestly can't believe they have so many positive review on here. Booking: I booked them because answered my initial questions quickly - once I put down the $100 deposit that all changed. I filled out their questionnaire and sent it back to them within a week (2 months before wedding) I emailed them 3 weeks later asking if they had received it. Nothing. Again emailed them - nothing. Third time their reply was "we can't open it" I resent it again but it was obvious that they didn't bother reading it because I had asked a few questions and none of them were answered. I then had to email them over and over asking the same questions to get a response - about 3 different people would email me telling me they were my "contact" then a new person would email me asking me to provide info that I had already provided several times! They told me they were busy with 14 weddings and thats why they didn't have time to answer my questions - its great that you're busy but if you're not doing a good job and your clients are suffering then maybe you have too many clients. Also you had 3 months to answer my questions so 14 weddings one weekend isn't really an excuse. Day of (Amanda & Kaiilez) they told me they had to show up at 7 am day of because they had another wedding right after - not ideal because my wedding wasn't until 1 pm and I am not a morning person but I because I had no other choice. They showed up at 7 am and told me they have 30 mins per person - they were done by 10 am and then were like "oh the other wedding isn't until way later" ...so why did you come so early then!? Hair - the hair person was nice-ish, she asked me for my inspiration picture (a picture I had sent over with my questionnaire that she obviously had not looked at) I showed it to her - down, big waves. She then started to curl my hair - about halfway through I was like...so how does this turn into waves? I showed her the picture again - she said " you should have told me you wanted waves earlier, because I would have done it differently" .... um WHAT? I showed you a picture! I was pretty upset. She tried to do some wavy/curly mixture on the top layers- I had fixed it all after she left. Makeup- this was the worst of it all. I had specifically talked to them and wrote in my questionnaire that I have really dry skin and can't wear foundation because it flakes off - but don't really need it anyway because my skin is really even. I just wanted concealer under my eyes and a creamy blush (I was planning on doing my own eye makeup anyway). I told this all again to the makeup girl - she said "you should do airbrush, its only 10$ more".....I said "well I really cannot wear ANY foundation" (I have tried it all, even airbrush, all flakes off) She said ok but was huffy about it. After my hair was done she asked me to take a towel to my face to make sure I didn't have hairspray on my skin so that the foundation wouldn't streak..... I kind of just stared at her again NO foundation was requested! She seemed annoyed with me and was so rude to my bridesmaids telling them that "beauty is pain" when she hurt one of their necks by pushing on their face too hard....Also her makeup/brushes looked GROSS. I just left the room and asked my mom to tell her I wouldn't be needing her services. I doubt they will refund me for the makeup session I didn't get. This is not a company I would EVER want to work with again, let alone on such a special (but nerve-wreking) day. read more

I have mixed reviews about this place. I LOVED Iris who was my makeup and hair artist. She did an amazing job! She also did all of the hair for my wedding party and all of my girls loved what she did. She was great. My negative review is for administrator/coordinators of Appease. The day BEFORE the wedding, I had all my family and my husband's (fiance at the time) family in town and they were meeting for the first time. I check my phone at 11pm to see that Carrie from Appease had called me at 8:30pm asking me if I had checked my email about the change in the schedule and that they needed to move everything up on hour on the wedding day. We were going to start at 10am but Appease wanted to start at 9am. I then checked my email and saw that they had EMAILED me at 5:30pm. Then I started freaking out since all of my wedding party had gone home and it was way too late to let everyone to come a hour early. I called Appease and told them that I wasn't sure if I could reach people in time to tell them about the change in schedule. I did not get a call back until 8:30am from Carrie and she let me know that she had tried to text Iris and the makeup artist to see if they come just come at 10am instead. This is after I frantically had called my bridesmaid at midnight seeing if they could come at 9am so by that time I had already had it figured out. So now I was annoyed that we could have had everything start at the originally planned time of 10am. I told Carrie that I didn't check my phone until 11pm so I didn't get her message. She put up an attitude and told me that they had an emergency and needed to change things around and I should be more understanding because if that had been me, I would want someone to understand too. Well first of all, if it had been an emergency, she should have called me at 5:30pm instead of send me an email. I am sorry but as a bride, who has time the day before to check their emails all of the time! If she had called at 5:30pm then perhaps I would have been able to check my voicemail before dinner time, but calling me at 8:30pm to check if I had gotten the email? Seriously what do they think brides are doing the night before...oh yea probably running around like crazy and trying to eat dinner with their wedding party and families! NOT checking their emails!! Also second of all, this is Appease's job to figure things out and try to APPEASE and calm down the bride, not cop an attitude simply because the bride was annoyed that she had to rearrange her entire day of schedule because of the makeup and hair company. Coordination aside, their makeup and hair artists are great! Like I said I thought my hair and makeup artist Iris was amazing and she did such an awesome job. My only complaint is for the coordinators of Appease. If they are working with brides and their bridal parties, they really need to step up on the appeasing part. For a company who named themselves APPEASE, the coordinators really need to learn the meaning of the name. read more

Excellent service! I used Appease's services for my wedding and was overall pleased with the service I received. My stylist arrived on time and was super friendly. My family and I loved our make up and hair. Our pictures came out great! ! read more

I used Appease for my wedding makeup and was not disappointed! Carla worked on me and one of my bridesmaids. She came to me for my wedding as well as for my trial. She was recommended to me by 2 of my friends who had used her for their wedding makeup. She also does hair, but she did not do mine (I didn't know that until after I had booked someone else). She was on time for both the trial and the day of the wedding. I thought the pricing was on the lower end of what I was quoted from other companies, and they did not require a minimum number of people, which was really nice. I had airbrushed makeup with fake lashes and my makeup looked awesome from 12:30pm when she did it, until 2am when I got home. Thanks Carla! read more

These girl made my life so easy!! Extremely reliable---Carrie did my hair and Kimmy did my make-up. Both were excellent! They arrived on time, made me look and feel beautiful and were so accommodating. Thanks for everything! read more

I was very happy with Appease. Carla did my hair and make-up and I looked and felt great. We also had Iris working on half the group, and she did great as well. She even snuck in an extra person that wasn't planning on having her hair and make-up done. Their prices were very reasonable compared to local salons and you can get ready in the comfort of your own home. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Let me start by saying that the 4 stylists that helped on my wedding day did a great job! They came early, were very flexible, and everyone was happy with the end results. The price was also very good and I appreciated that they came to my hotel room. However, I was very frustrated with how long it took to schedule the stylists and how many times I had to reach out because I was not getting any info. I kept being told that they were working with other brides and were waiting on them, but I feel like if I was the one repeatedly checking in, they should give me an answer. I might recommend for smaller groups though. read more

I used Appease Inc for my bridal party plus my mother and mother of the groom. It was different to me the way everything worked from paying in advance and having a schedule, but it actually worked to our advantage. The only confusion was I wasnt updated on a newer schedule and was expecting the hair and make-up girls earlier, plus I didnt know their names ahead of time. My stylist Laura did a great job with my wedding theme and was able to tweek little things to make my makeup perfect for the day of. My hair was even better than my trial. Our hair and make-up stylists, worked well with my 7 other girls Pricing was great and took advantage of some promos. And being able to book both hair and make-uo through on place made it that much easier for me as the bride. read more

I was so happy with the services provided by Appease2You and my stylists, Roxy, Tanya, and Sandy. I had nine women total who received hair and makeup services in my small two-bedroom Chicago condo. The stylists adapted to the small space and had all brought extension cords, all their appliances, etc. They were all so flexible with the parking I had arranged and with the space. All of my stylists did an AMAZING job. Roxy and Sandy's makeup made everyone look and feel so glamorous. And the hair styles from both Tanya and Sandy were fantastic. Everyone had brought Pinterest photos, and everyone was pleased with how the ladies matched their Pinterest photos but made the look tailored and personal. A highlight was that Tanya actually did a bridesmaid's hair who had a pixie cut--she did a "faux undo" that was gorgeous and completely looked like a real updo. I wanted to mention that working with Appease2You prior to the wedding day was also a pleasure. Elizabeth was my contact person for trial appointments and making the schedule. She was so flexible and helpful. A couple things that I requested and that she obliged for me quickly and graciously were: -I requested a second hair trial with a new stylist, and she obliged (Tanya was my second stylist, who was PERFECT) -I added on two women about a week before the event -I requested a third stylist about two weeks before the event. She got all of these things done for me and made me feel like I was normal in making these requests and not a bridezilla! Overall I couldn't be happier that Appease2You was there for me before and on the wedding day. They made things run smoothly, they made me relaxed, and they made everyone in the group look and feel so beautiful. THANK YOU AGAIN!! read more

We hired Appease to do our hair and makeup for two days in a row for my brother's wedding. First of all, the stylists that came for hair and makeup came ill prepared. They didn't bring enough colors for an 'Indian wedding'. Their color pallets were neutral and boring. Their makeup application was level 1 at best, which is to say very little makeup skills. They could not replicate pictures that were shown. Plus they were only allotted 1/2hr to do full wedding makeup which is nothing at all. The hair stylists came with minimum hair products and no hair accessories to make buns etc. My hair was done in 20 mins by the stylist and I kept on telling her that she didn't put enough pins. She snapped at me and told me it was fine. My hair came undone within half hour of an undo. I paid over $300 for two days of hair and makeup. The salon collects gratuity of 20% upfront which leaves you to the mercy of mediocre makeup and hair application. Some of the stylists were downright rude. Our party paid $2400 total for hair and makeup. I would NOT recommend this salon and their contracted stylists/MUA at all. You prepay and there is no recourse. read more

I had the pleasure of having Peggy come and do my consult and wedding day make-up/hair. She was remarkable, friendly, and a master of her art. I got a LOT of compliments!! read more

I am very very happy with how hair and makeup turned out for my entire wedding party! The stylists were prompt and very accommodating throughout the process- from trial to day-of. This was my first time getting makeup professionally done and I was very nervous about it prior to the trial but Julia (our primary make up artist) listened to how I normally do my makeup, considered my skin tone, eye color and facial features and went to work elevating my natural beauty and making me feel very comfortable. Our primary hairstylist, Kristy, was also stellar and made my hair look exactly like the picture I showed her. She was super accommodating during the trial and stayed late to help with extra requests! I had a great experience with Appease but do think think that Carrie, the manager/scheduler may be a little over booked so some confusion was caused over email- as sometimes happens when working with many clients with very specific questions or needs. Overall, I would recommend this vendor to others! read more

Carrie and her team were more than wonderful! Every aspect of the process was perfect, and Elizabeth kept everything on track and was extremely communicative. On our wedding day, she and her make-up artist were very timely, listened to what everyone wanted and did an amazing job! I ca't wait to see the pictures :) Thanks, Carrie-- you made me feel absolutely beautiful on my day!! read more

Make sure to ask for Marie! I hired Marie to do hair for my June 16, 2012 wedding. She was so nice and easy to work with. When I first met her, she came to now mother-in-law's house to do my hair trial. She was so easy to talk to and made the trial really fun. She was open to all the looks I wanted and I tried three different styles. On the day of the wedding, she came to my hotel - Palmer House - was super professional and ready to go. I had 5 bridesmaids, myself and my flower girl who needed our hair done. She made sure we each had enough time and everyone's hair look fabulous. I kept getting compliments about my hair and I have Marie to thank for it. If you are in the market for a hairstylist for your wedding at a reasonable rate, contact Appease and ask for Marie!! read more

We just had wedding hair and makeup with Laura - who came to our hotel room. She was so awesome and fun to work with. Very talented. Was on time! And open to suggestions. My makeup and hair lasted through the night. Thanks! read more

Appease was the best value for hair and makeup by far. They sent 3 stylists to our hotel where we were getting ready. As the bride I just had my makeup done it was airbrush with lashes. My makeup stayed all day even running all over the city taking pictures when it was drizzling out. I had 12 ladies get their makeup and hair done it was a mix of regular and airbrush makeup. All the ladies were pleased with their hair and makeup and I thought they looked gorgeous. The stylists were pretty accommodating as we added on a few last minute women that decided to get their makeup done or add on lashes. I also had little crystals to put in the ladies hair and they did that as well. I did not do a trial for my makeup because I trusted they would do a good job and they did! read more

They are a makeup artists. Carla was great at Makeup, no question about it, it stayed all the day and was fabulous. When it comes to hair, is another story... After my unfortunate trial, I had to change my hairstyle, and had to send them an instructional video on how to make the new hairstyle as well as instruct them that my hair is coarse in some places and needs to be flatironed beforehand. However, after all this work on my behalf as well as on theirs, my hair, did turn out fabulous. It is just I am a strong believer that when you pay $100 for a hair updo, you do not have to research the internet for instructional videos. My bridesmaids' hair was good. My mother's hair was ok, she kept putting the spray on it, so that it would stay. Thank you. read more

I hired Carla and her team for my New Years Eve wedding. Carla did an awesome job on both my hair and makeup. I normally don't wear makeup or do my hair and we were able to work together to create the exact look I wanted. The best part of the experience was having a trial a few months before the wedding. I was able to update my look for the wedding without the anxiety of not knowing what I would look like. Plus they came to my hotel room for the wedding which was super convenient. Carla is very sweet and easy to work with. I would recommend her a million times over. FANTASTIC! read more

I had Carla for make up and Carrie for hair at my wedding day. My bridesmaids and I all looked stunning! My make up lasted without budging for 12 hours of photography in high winds, sweating, hugging relatives and friends, and dancing the night away. Oh yeah, also a couple of wardrobe changes. Carla & Carrie were both punctual, professional, and did a great job altogether! I would highly recommend them to any bride looking for beauty services. read more
