I Had Rachel from Chicago Mobile Hair Stylist come to my house to highlight and cut my hair. I am very happy with my hair color it is exactly what I wanted and she cut my bangs perfect and I'm Dominican so I have very thick long curly hair she was in and out in about an hour. I can't say enough nice things about her she was great and she is a pro at what she does. The price was the best anywhere and I looked around a lot before I found them but I will not need to look any further I will be a lifetime client the price is way better then the salon and you get to sit at home comfortable in pajamas. I can go on and on about how great they are so I'll just say 5 STAR Service and a great price you can't go wrong give them a try and you'll be calling them again.

Maria was my makeup artist for all my wedding-year events from June 2018-March 2019: from my…read moreearly-morning engagement photo shoot, my bridal shower, and my wedding and I was 100% happy with the process and results. I got so many compliments on my makeup at each event. Maria is so nice to talk to, too, and is flexible and always willing to make any changes to meet what you like. We did a number of makeup trials and as long as I spoke up, Maria was great at adjusting the makeup to get my desired look. It is very important to her to make you feel great and she doesn't take any adjustments personally. She also went the extra mile before my wedding and brought me amazing skin care samples to use-- face scrubs & masks-- to help me really glow on the big day. On the wedding day, she was fantastic, as was her talented assistant. She was on time and she and her assistant got through the 5 person bridal party (4 bridesmaids, 1 bridesman who got male grooming with Maria, and 2 moms, and of course me, the bride), smoothly. Everyone was thrilled with their looks and so happy, and we all looked like movie stars! Her pricing is extremely reasonable, too, and good value for the work. I wish I had more events and excuses to work with Maria again!

Let's start with the good: Maria was very nice and accommodating…read more Unfortunately, I was disappointed and frankly shocked at how bad the makeup itself was. For eyes, the eyeliner lines were incredibly shaky (and not even a true black!!!), the requested blending was either nonexistent or very shoddily done (with streaks), and the lashes were noticeably plasticky with no mascara to mask the artificial texture. The blush technique and shapes were ALL wrong, concentrated all on the apples, and not in a good way, with almost no blending. The lip color was for one of the models was very unflattering! NO eyebrow definition. Also, I paid for some hairstyling, but she didn't even bring a curling iron. To be fair, we were rushed with one of the models, but one had PLENTY of time to be worked on and turned out like a clown due to the very poor attention to detail. Maybe I caught her on a bad day. The makeup I did on myself in literally 4 minutes was better than the end result. While I enjoyed her company, I STRONGLY advise you to stay away if you're looking for more avant-garde looks.

Today I travelled an 1 hr plus to get my hair done, I messaged my stylist and let her know; she…read moretold me that it would be fine because she wasn't done with her current client. I get there and ALL of a sudden she's following protocol ...state mandates...on the day that they (the city) released that we were in Level 5 (meaning open), but to be aware that businesses may still ask us to wear a mask. She takes my temperature , I show her my Vaccination Card and I was instantly met with ATTITUDE!!! Not "Hi Dionna - how are you? Thanks for coming BACK! Here's the deal..." She (TILLY) has to be one of the RUDEST people with a job in SERVICE! NO DECORUM. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE! The least she could have done was try to ease my pushback, given that SHE did not follow protocol the last time I ALLOWED her/PAID her to do my hair - when she was 30 MIN LATE for my 1st appointment, as a NEW CLIENT. Today was me giving her (TILLY) a 2nd chance! I will NOT allow anyone in SERVICE to talk to me, the way she did. --- I'm giving a 3rd star ONLY because ARI handled the situation properly, with GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE - listening & de-escalating the situation. I DO NOT RECOMMEND TILLY! Yes, she does decent hair, BUT she is in a job of SERVICE - she needs to learn how to be OF service, with her demeanor as well. Thank you Ari, I will be back only because of you and only to try ANOTHER stylist!

A no-hassle way to get pretty on your wedding day? Coming right up!…read more After getting several quotes from other makeup artists and companies...I was frustrated and feeling a bit like "screw this, I can do my own makeup and hair!" Inflexible, upcharges for everything, outrageously expensive, booked, etc etc. No thanks. Then, a light bulb flashed... I actually found Julia (the makeup artist at Pretty Windy City) through her other affiliated venture, Vavoom Pinups. She spends time there making gals into cute little sexpot kittens for the camera. We took a friend of mine there for a shoot a year or so back and I remember the makeup being fantastic, Julia being phenomenal (and fun, and low stress), etc, etc, etc. So, I was pretty thrilled when I emailed and Julia told me that they actually love doing weddings and she also had a hair girl (Sara). Bonus! And that they'd come to my hotel, no problem. AND that they'd come to my house to do my trial. Could they have made it any better? In a time that was actually a bit helter skelter, the gals at PWC made life sparkle. They materialized my "vision" (meaning, pinterest board with random photos) into something I loved. Super simple, but glam. Julia uses airbrush foundation, which gave me a glow that more than one person commented on. Of course, I told my husband it was surely because I was so happy...but really, the makeup job was bangin'. Loved my hair too. Also simple and fresh, upscale without being severe. Sara is a gem! Pretty Windy City was all that and a bagga'chips and thus they are at the top of my list in terms of "wedding vendors." They made the afternoon fun, they weren't frantic or stressed out, they were flexible, they made my mom and grandmother look beautiful, and were all around just really fun gals to have at the hotel that day. Down to earth. Not divas. My grandmother (who I adore) said it was actually her very favorite part of the day, which touched my heart. I know she felt really beautiful walking out of that hotel room, and I was so grateful to J&S for making her feel special. Sara even fluffed up her hair on the fly after she got caught in the rain! True service and heart in this company. I'll post photos once I have them from the photographer! *payable by cash or check. *email for quotes/pricing. *no minimums, they'll come do just the bride if that's what you'd like. *if they travel to hotel, you'll pay for their parking, of course. *tell them I said hello!

I've been getting my hair braided on & off for a long time. The one constant problem I've encounterd is finding someone who is reliable and/or dependable for repeat appointments. Mimi was more than reliable and convenient. I plan to continue returning to Mimi for all my hair braiding needs. Mimi is very sweet, patient, reasonable, and an all around down to earth person. Most importantly she understands that for working professionals it is essential for us to always be presentable. Therefore she is willing to make time when needed and create a well-groomed, presentable hairstyle. Mimi is meticolus about her work because after all it is a reflection of her. I really like Mimi and would highly recommend her.

I did a trial run for my hair and makeup and was immediately so impressed with both her talent and professionalism. Because I rarely wear makeup and I don't often style my hair, I was nervous about finding the right look for my wedding day. Chyla did such a wonderful job creating a look that made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself. My bridal party also had an amazing experience with Chyla, and we were all so happy with how everyone's hair and makeup turned out. We were also impressed on how well our hair and makeup held up throughout the entire wedding day, even through all of the crying (happy tears!) and dancing that we did. Chyla is incredibly talented, professional, kind, and all around wonderful to work with. She went above and beyond to make me and my bridal party feel our absolute best.
