I was planning my wedding from about 3 hours from the venue and Air B&B which meant that doing a trial was trickier than it usually would have been, but instead we went with a phone call. During the call she explained her process and her tools clearly, making sure to include why she opted for the makeup and techniques she uses. I described myself and what I was looking for on my big day and she assured me that she understood and that it would be great. And it was! I got the makeup look I was looking for and my girls looked beautiful as well. Everyone had a style that suited them well and was what they requested. I am very pleased that I went with her and would use her again if I needed professional makeup!

It was so awful that I am convinced this person is not a real makeup artist.

She is a scam artist!!!

Consistently had to correct her and fills took no less than two hours. Which normal fills are an hour to an hour and a half. Then, after coming back from vacation, I receive a message from her stating that maybe I should look for a different lash artist because she gets too stressed doing my lashes. I gave her four chances to do my lashes correctly, however, she did not like being corrected, when my lashes were uneven, not the mapping that I asked for or not filled in properly. Not to mention, I asked her to take off the old Lashes and do a complete new set and she did not want to. She stated she did not like doing full sets if she didn't need to. Then she would use the excuse that I didn't have enough Lashes, but other lash artist were able to get my lashes, completely full exactly how I wanted them.

Living in Shorewood, I walk by The Establishment often and always feel it gives off this trendy,…read morecasual, cool vibe. I recently decided to check out their services, and booked a highlight and cut with Kenzie It was almost a packed house (all chairs full) when I was getting my hair done. Kenzie is a sweetie and fantastic! I usually give pretty vague descriptions, show a photo or two. I'm not one to get overly upset about results (as long as I walk out with hair below my shoulders, I'm good lol), and prefer to have the artist work their magic. She definitely has the magic!! The highlights are amazing and perfectly placed. The cut is awesome - I love that she still did long layers but in a way that I can still put my hair up or braid it and there are not pieces sticking out every-which-way. I will definitely book again with her and highly recommend :)

I found The Establishment after searching for a Green Circle salon in the area (if you're not…read morefamiliar but care about sustainability, it is worth a google search- they go above and beyond to decrease the environmental impact of hair services) and reached out to set up a somewhat last-minute appointment (especially considering a holiday rush) for some color and a cut. I saw Kenzie and showed her a couple inspo pics and explained a couple hair issues I have, and she got to work. She was friendly, and we had a few nice conversations, but also some non-awkward silence, which was relaxing. I didn't feel pressure to make small talk. Even though I arrived a couple minutes late, she was able to complete some foils, a toner, a cut, and a blow dry with time to spare before I had to leave to cross town to teach a yoga class, which was also greatly appreciated! I absolutely love the results - it was just what I was looking for. I'd had an emotionally draining appointment just before going in, so it was a relief in so many ways to be so pleased with the outcome and leave with more confidence and pep in my step. On top of that, I found the rate to be very reasonable! I will absolutely be back!

Everything was perfect and I was glowing the entire day. Jillian deserves more than 5 stars and I would recommend her to everyone. I wish I could have her do my glam every day!

She is absolutely phenomenal!!!…read more I've used Jillian for several events. Each time she has been prompt, courteous, listened to exactly what each of us wanted - and most importantly - left us all feeling stunning. I appreciate that she comes to you and uses a variety of products, meaning whatever works best for your skin and coloring. After going to a few professional makeup artists, she will always be my first call, regardless of the event. Weddings, black tie, formal night out, or just want to look hot. But make sure you call early, as she books up fast. Worth every penny.......and a total joy to be around.

I struggled with the prospect of writing a negative review. I have a lot of empathy for small…read morebusiness, especially during covid, and understand that negative reviews significantly affect them. My SIL posted a negative review on The Knot, and I agree with the content of her review. Unfortunately, Brittany responded with mistruths, which has motivated me to reply with my own review. DO NOT HIRE Brittany for your wedding. When my wedding was postponed because of covid, all of our vendors were extremely accommodating except Brittany. She did not want to allow me to use my $330 deposit toward a new date in 2021. To retain her services I would have to pay another $330 deposit for the new date and forfeit the previous deposit. I clearly postponed the date 2 months in advance, and she responded "OK I will cancel out your contract." She apparently held that date, then blamed me for lost business because of this. I did not ask her to retain my original date. Ultimately, after asking her to reconsider the transfer of my deposit, she relented. She was available for the new date, and sent a new contract to hold it. Before signing the contract, I told her about a revised number of applications - more people now wanted makeup, surpassing her maximum. I had discussed this scenario before signing the first contract. I asked "what is your policy about adding or subtracting people? Does it matter as long as there are 5 people minimum?" and she said "just a 5 person minimum, not going over 10." I was just being transparent, and she was going to do 5 people instead of 8. I hired a second makeup artist, making Brittany very upset. I explained the situation, but that did not assuage her. She demanded another $200 deposit or that I pay for 8 makeup applications (even though she was doing 5). Brittany felt disrespected and no longer wanted to provide her services, escaping with my deposit. I agreed to terminate our relationship. I didn't want her bad juju on my wedding day. I must respond to the review from my SIL. Brittany misrepresented our conversation. Her quoted text "proving" her flexibility was sent to me after we agreed to go separate ways. I did hire her 3 days after my trial; the time allotted before you lose the hold on your date. It wasn't because I "loved" her work. The brows were too dark. The foundation was heavy and settled into the fine lines on my forehead and on the lines around my mouth from smiling. Brittany told me it was because I had dry skin. A peel and better moisturizer would make it look normal. After talking to an aesthetician and a dermatologist she was wrong. Brittany quoted me "word for word" that "I loved my makeup, it lasted all day and I would love to book you," which is false. The text actually is "I would like you to do my makeup...it lasted very well. I'm wondering if we could go a little lighter on the brows and use a lighter face makeup? I felt a little too made up in terms of foundation." Misquoting our conversation proves lack of integrity and disregard for the truth. I would NOT recommend Brittany to anyone. What I got was thick, caked on makeup that settled awkwardly on my face and was then blamed on my "poor skin." Brittany's responses were unsympathetic and untruthful. Brittany, I would expect you to want to learn from a situation like this so you can better your business and yourself. Brides, I hope you choose someone who cares about you as a person, not just as a business transaction. That person is not Brittany.

Hi, I had a trial…read moretraditional makeup service done December 10, 2011 for $50 from Blush by Brittany. My skin tone is dark. I spoke with her in-depth about her experience working with darker skin tones and she assured me she had foundation for every skin tone. I requested a very natural look with nude matte lips, matte foundation, and angelic eyes. Her first attempted she put black eyeliner on me, gold eye shadow, and bright ruby cheeks. I advised her it was too dramatic and looked like I had a ton of makeup on and that I wanted more of a subtle look. She didn't take the black off but instead added plum eye shadow. She did not blend my eye makeup very well. I showed her pictures of me with more natural makeup and she said "If you like that look you should do it yourself." She didn't say it in an offensive way but if I could do it why couldn't she?? Didn't seem like she cared whether or not she gained my business. I had my photographer take pictures of me after she completed my makeup and it was not stunning as any bride would want to look. I decided not to go with her because she didn't have foundation to match my skin, didn't blend my eye shadow, did not use or have natural colors, her makeup techniques are basic (not at all as displayed on her website. She didn't contour my foundation, use primer, curl my lashes, etc.) I tipped her an extra $5 out of courtesy but her skill level is not worth her prices. For her work she should charge $10 for a trial not $50 and $30 for onsite bridal service and not $200. Her work is amateur at best.
