Goddess Effect Artistry immediately caught my interest and, after a quick email exchange with Tracy, we had a trial set up. She was so sweet and accommodating, going so far as to send me a list of things to do in her area since my fiance and I had to rent a car to get out to her. That level of personal service extended all throughout her work with us. On the day of the wedding, she got the hair and makeup of two mothers, two bridesmaids, and two brides done in no time flat. Everyone looked beautiful and, most importantly to me, looked like themselves! I hate when makeup overshadows someone's natural beauty but Tracy and her assistant did a great job of highlighting how gorgeous all of our ladies already are. They were kind, funny, and set everyone at ease. Only two of the six ladies present had ever had their makeup done professionally and all six were thrilled with the end results. Everyone's makeup stayed fresh and there wasn't a hair out of place throughout the entire night. The airbrush makeup left us all feeling as if we weren't covered in caked on pounds but instead, as if we had fresh faces! The best part was that it was easy to take off at the end of the night (we were exhausted and, had it been a difficult clean up process, we both might have just slept with bobby pins and lashes!) If you are looking for someone to listen to your needs and make you look your best, look no further. Tracy is the best!

The…read moretrial beforehand was so helpful, and when I said I liked a style I wasn't sure the state of my hair could pull off, they made it happen for me anyway! On the day of the wedding there was an unexpected family emergency that left them down a person, but they were easily able to send us an alternate stylist without any change in the timeline. Everyone (8 ladies for hair and 6 for makeup) was happy with their hair and makeup, and Lexi, Georgia, and Terri were kind and professional throughout. The fact that it was one of the most affordable options I saw for hair and makeup made it all the better! Highly recommend.

Dani and Colette were so helpful throughout the entire process and were always quick to answer my (many!) questions.

The entire bridal party looked so stunning. I would 100% use their services again in the future!

I could not be more thrilled with the results! Not only were they kind and professional, but myself and my bridesmaids all said we have never had better hair or makeup services!

I was especially grateful that she had availability for my wedding as I contacted her in May about a September wedding! Overall I am just blown away by every moment of my experience with Chicago Makeup & Hair Professionals and I can't wait to recommend them to my friends!

I know absolutely nothing about hairstyling or makeup and she was so helpful and patient, both during the preview and the day of the wedding. She was very responsive to inquiries, and accommodating about my timeline and the fact that I was out of state. She is really knowledgeable, but also listened to find out what I was looking for and then was able to match that to what she thought would look good on me. The day of the wedding, she and Natasha were again really helpful and patient, which was great, as most of the party had little experience with formal hair and makeup. They also made getting ready more fun and less stressful. Everybody was ready on time and looked lovely! I would very much recommend Chicago Hair and Makeup Professionals, and I appreciated all their help!

Working with Tina and her team at Magnificent Brides was fabulous. Not only did Tina bring my…read morebridal hair vision to life, she also had me come in for a haircut prior to the big day to ensure my hair was perfect for the style we were going for. Arte did an amazing job with my bridal makeup and both my hair and makeup held up the entire day. We had four of the MB team members at our Vrbo prior to the reception to get 19 girls ready and not only did they get everyone done in a timely manner, but all of the girls loved their hair and makeup, as well. I've been in many weddings where members of the bridal party are running off to the bathroom after their services to fix their hair and makeup because they didn't like what the stylists did, so it was refreshing to see that all of my friends and family were so happy with the services they had done. Highly recommend!

Her advice on items like extensions was incredibly helpful and I felt I was in great hands through the whole process. Almost as important as the day itself, Tina is prompt in returning email communication and made me feel confident in her abilities for the day-of. On the day-of, Tina arrived promptly and handled all 8 in my bridal party with time to spare. She was sensitive to our schedule for the wedding and stayed ahead of it. Additionally, she even stayed late to ensure my veil was attached correctly. Overall, my hair kept its curl through outdoor photos in November and was exactly what I had hoped for. She really works to make your vision come to life!

She has such a calming, joyful presence--and she not only made me feel so beautiful, but also so comfortable and confident. She even recommended products that I still use daily, a testament to how much she cares about her clients beyond just the wedding day. Kelly and her wonderful assistant, Nikki, took the time to talk with each of my eight bridesmaids, my mom, my mother-in-law, and my grandma to understand their preferences and styles. The result was makeup that felt true to each person while still looking cohesive and elegant. Best of all, everyone's makeup lasted perfectly--through laughter, tears, dancing, and everything in between--from the very first application at 9am until the last song at 12:30am. Kelly is not only a talented artist but also a gem of a person. Her warmth, kindness, and skill made her such an important part of our wedding day. I am so grateful we had her with us
