Since we live out of town, I never had the chance to do a trial run. But after showing her a few inspiration photos the night before, she completely understood the vision and executed it flawlessly. Not only did everyone look incredible, she was so efficient and organized throughout the morning. She kept everything running perfectly on schedule without ever making anyone feel rushed. In fact, my mother-in-law was so impressed with everyone's makeup that Chyla was even able to squeeze her in for a service at the last minute, which she was thrilled about. Beyond her talent, Chyla was calm, warm, and such a positive presence to have around on the wedding morning. She made the entire experience feel easy and fun. I could not have been happier and would recommend her to anyone looking for a truly talented wedding hair and makeup artist.

Chyla is YOUR GO TO ARTIST for ANY special events make up and hair needs!…read more I reached out to Chyla 6 days before our wedding (very last minute!) to treat myself & the important women in my life to having our hair & make up done! From the very first phone call, to the many questions I had and the wonderful experience of having her style our hair and do our make up, I was impressed with Chyla's professionalism, warmth and her genuine bubbly personality. She is not only worth EVERY PENNY, Chyla is a joy to work with! I was immediately drawn to Chyla's understanding of our needs, her kindness, passion for what she does; & her clear expectations for the day! She is so proactive, genuine and very responsive with communication. Within hours of connecting, Chyla provided me with a contract, set expectations & a wedding day schedule! She was so very patient when addressing my questions, & some of our last minute changes! On our wedding day, Chyla showed up on time, was so sweet and friendly towards all of us & her highly skilled artistry spoke for itself! We all wanted a softer and more natural look and she executed our vision perfectly! I had never felt so beautiful- polished & put together! The products she used were so light and I felt like I was not wearing any make up at all and received so many compliments! My daughters, best friend, mother and sister in law all were very happy with their hair and make up too! We are all very thankful to have Chyla help us glow & radiate on our special day! Chyla is amazing and we loved how she SPARKLES & adds so much beauty, confidence, creativity, & positive energy to the world! Thank you Chyla for making us look and feel so elegant and beautiful!

I've hired josh quite a few times now. Once was for a bridal party (he also did the Brides makeup!)…read moreand once was for a photoshoot I needed to do for work. His skills are unparalleled - he knows exactly the type of makeup and colors to use based on your face/shape/needs. The way he applies makeup is so gentle yet with the right touch because it stayed put all day and night (through dancing and all) which is super rare for my face/past makeup experiences. He also has an extensive knowledge of the beauty space so if you need recommendations even beyond makeup - he's your guy. He's always so accommodating and is such a pleasure to be around. I could sit in the makeup chair all day with his energy!

I mean really I could not have asked for better. We had a lot of different people with different skin tones and unique skin needs and everyone was so happy with his work. My makeup not only was exactly what I was wanting but *did not budge* and this was traditional makeup (not airbrush). Beyond that he's just a pleasure to work with, super friendly but also very professional. Cannot recommend him enough!

I had a feeling my last visit was a fluke thing. I know the work these ladies do is great. It just sucks that sometimes, our hair can only take so much. After this most recent visit, my hair is looking healthy happy and vibrant. I've been getting so many compliments and I am confident enough to wear my hair down again. I will be back again soon for a touch up, but no bleaching this time...my hair can't take it. My tip? Be smart about what you do to your hair.

I asked for big blowout and realized that bring from the south still has a hold on me haha. I loved it and left feeling great about how it looked. I think I will be back for coloring services. It was very casual and relaxed. The pricing is also super fair for the area.

A mutual friend told me she knew this girl, Kim (Kiss n' Makeup) who does make up. At first, I was a little worried because we thought Kim might not want to travel so far (she is located in Chicago, the wedding was located out in Elburn) but she totally agreed. Kim was there on time, probably a few mins early, & had everything with her. She did a great job!!! My makeup stayed all afternoon, evening and into the night (through the crying, dancing and drinking). I loved the makeup she applied on my eyes the most. She didn't cake on the foundation or make it look heavy on any of us. And a BONUS***she was so easy to talk to!!! Sometimes getting your make up done can be awkward because you're just sitting there, not knowing what to say. But Kim lightened the mood and was hilarious. I definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their makeup professionally done & doesn't want to worry about what the outcome will look like. She does a fantastic job and asks your opinions throughout your session. Kudos Kim!!!
