At my bridal trial, she spent 2 hours perfecting my look and seeking approval each step of the way. Even after we completed my makeup, she sat me back in the chair to find a better lip color. As a minimal daily makeup connoisseur, I found this attention to detail amazing. Her team was funny and social the entire trial, as well. The day of my wedding started off with a text from Patty the night before! So sweet to know your makeup team is thinking about you. All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup, especially the airbrush foundation. Patty and her team held to the outlined schedule. We added on a touch up service, which was so helpful after being rained on in the afternoon. Patty herself stayed for the services and helped me fix my veil and hair for the evening, too. I cannot recommend Patty and her team enough!

I can't be happier with Jen's work on my wedding day. The makeup and hair were flawless!…read more I've tried one or two makeup/hair artists before I found Patty McGuire Hair and Makeup Artists, but neither of them were nearly as good. I am Asian and doing makeups for Asian can be hard - e.g. hooded eyes. I tried several Asian makeup artists but for some reason, the results just look awkward to me. But thanks to them, I found Jen. Her previous work looked amazing and she had experience doing makeups for Asian brides, so I decided to give it a shot. The trial went great! She was very patient and listened to my suggestions. During our communication, she was also very responsive and professional. On the wedding day, Jen arrived on time and kept everything on schedule!

I wish I could give ZERO stars…read more I booked hair and makeup services with them for three women for a Black Tie wedding. Services were booked over 6 months in advance with a 50% deposit paid at the time of booking. I reconfirmed the appointments the three weeks before the wedding, and again the day before. Each time, we were confirmed. The morning of the wedding arrives, we were expecting the artist at our hotel at 8am. It's 8am, no one arrives or calls, I thought maybe traffic, or trouble finding parking--9am rolls around, still nothing. At that time I tried to reach out to the makeup artist. The artist was a no show. After an unsuccessful attempt to reach the artist, I texted the owner, Paula, who in short, was quite unprofessional in handling the matter and didn't have a back up plan or solution for the issue. No one ever ended up coming. We were devastated. Fast forward several weeks. I expected a refund immediately. However, I had to continuously text Paula and ask for my money back. Each time was a different excuse. She also promised a gift for all of the inconveniences. Well, I got the money back after nearly a month. And I'm still waiting on the gift we were promised--it's been 2 months now. Absolutely horrified. Do not waste your time or money.

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.

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 lips were unfortunately a bit dry and peeling the morning of, but Pati used some sort of lip scrub and smoothed it right out. I was also worried about ruining my makeup since I knew I'd be crying during our private vows, but it stayed completely intact through all the tears. I was so impressed!

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.

Beth is amazing and I am so happy to have booked her for doing my wedding make-up. Her make-up was…read morevery natural looking - yet was perfect in the photos as well. I had a pretty bad experience with one of the "larger" bridal firms in Chicago who charged an exorbitant amount of money for a trial - which was awful. I then went in for a much more appropriately priced trial with Beth and was "wowed". On the day of the wedding, she did the make-up for most of my bridesmaids as well as my mother and mother-in-law. She made everyone look wonderful and my mother-in-law said "this is the most beautiful I've ever felt". My make-up lasted the entire day and never got that "cakey" look which I hate (as someone who doesn't typically wear a ton of make-up/foundation). Beth has a wonderful talent for enhancing people's natural beauty, which is perfect for weddings. I would absolutely recommend Beth for any bride's wedding day! I'm also thinking of taking some make-up lessons from her to get some tips on how to glam up my current routine.
