When I tell you this MAC Cosmetics store has thee best makeup artist, I like to called them The Glam Squad. I've had 3 artist here do my makeup and they all slayed me. Today Marcy did my makeup and went above and beyond with her application, that gave me the confidence I needed for a second date I have tonight. In between applying makeup she dropped some gems on your girl. Nothing but greatness here - real artist!! Thank you MAC :)

I love blanco she knew her stuff very kind and sweet she cares about the customers she multitask because it was beginning to get crowded she is truly the best she knew my skin it wasn't hard for her to find the correct shade I loved it thank u Mac for understanding women's and our features and helping us enhance our look without truly changing us completely I did the 24 hour oil control studio fix full coverage and I didn't need that much she took her time and she was very thorough with how to use the product I didn't want to leave the store it was so beautiful and comfortable and welcoming thank you Mac the first picture I was sweating like an hour or two later but it look very good I love it

I ended up at MAC pro for a special event exclusive to members but was extended to yelp elite! Lucky me! I just started getting into makeup a year or so ago so it was nice to learn new tips and tricks that I can utilize on myself. The class was taught by Keri and Sandy who were both great and knowledgeable MUA's. It was a nice event. A 15% discount was offered for the evening which I didn't use because I didn't know exactly what I wanted to buy. I only gave 4 stars because an "exclusive goodie bag" was suppose to be offered at the event and I didn't receive anything.

We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon on Memorial Day weekend. The space is small and it was very crowded. After waiting about 5 minutes, a nice MUA came over to help. She suggested a different product from what I normally use and found the best match for me. She demonstrated correct application on both myself and my mother. She was never pushy or made me feel like she was trying to get me to purchase a bunch of products or brushes. I purchased 10 items for us and quickly spent almost $250 (and that's with no brushes). I don't mind though because I like the quality of the products. The only unpleasant part about this shopping experience was constantly being asked to move so the MUA's could get into the drawers with all the products. They really do make these stores way too small for the amount of customers they get. They are located beside Nordstrom. I recommend going at a less busy time than the weekend.

A huge thank you to Jose at MAC for making me look amazing.

I was fortunate enough to have Jose apply my makeup for a special event this past Saturday. OMG!! What an amazing job he did!! I was stopped by friends and even strangers who wanted to know who did such an amazing job. I loved it!!!! Not only is incredibly talented but he is funny and a total sweetheart. I will definitely be going to him again next time I visit Chicago.

I used Pin Me Up for hair and makeup services on my wedding day (9/13/26), and overall, I had a…read morevery positive experience. Unfortunately, I can't recall the names of the two lovely artists who worked with us that day, but I personally was very happy with both my makeup and hair. They stayed very close to the inspiration images I shared, which was extremely important to me, and I felt confident and beautiful on such a special day. Our group had a mix of services, some bridesmaids booked makeup only, a couple booked hair only, and about three of us had both services done. To be completely honest, not everyone in the group loved their final look. A few of the girls weren't thrilled with their makeup, and a couple felt the same about their hair. That said, in the artists' defense, the bridesmaids didn't feel comfortable speaking up at the time, and instead made small adjustments themselves afterward. I don't believe this reflects a lack of skill, but rather the importance of clearly communicating preferences in the moment. Despite that, I would still recommend Pin Me Up. Their work is professional, polished, and their pricing can be considered on the higher side felt worth it to me for wedding-day services. One piece of advice: I would skip the $75 consultation call. It lasted under 15 minutes and mainly covered who would be present on the wedding day. I didn't find it particularly helpful and would suggest using that money toward something else instead. Overall, if you're clear about what you want and comfortable advocating for adjustments, Pin Me Up delivers quality wedding hair and makeup services and helped me feel great on one of the most important days of my life.

I had an appointment somewhere else but decided to go with Pin Me Up because they were able to come to the hotel and the cost was similar. I don't know much about hair and makeup and I wanted to look nice for a black tie wedding. I knew I couldn't pull it off on my own so I'm so glad I decided to spend the money on myself because Lily made me look stunning! She was very friendly, outgoing and helpful. I didn't have a vision or ideas for what I wanted and she asked the right questions to get to a great look. My updo was especially exciting since my hair is long, thin and straight.

I am obsessed with this place! I've been here 3 times for hair (twice) and makeup (3 times with two…read moredifferent artists) and the team nailed it each visit! I'm really impressed with their business model because it's damn hard to find great makeup artists and hair stylists that stick to a pretty solid routine so you know what to expect. I feel like Goldplaited is the like the Lettuce Entertain You of hair and beauty. Like... you can ask for completely different styles or even get different makeup artists (like when you walk into different LEY restaurants) but the level of service and outcome is consistently on point to your level of satisfaction. One time I asked for a stylish pony, another time vintage hair half up/half down, and both times I was obsessed! The makeup artists know how to make you look natural but elevated. Your skin looks like your skin, just better. For make up, I've requested twice (from two different artists) "a natural, me - just better, look," and also a soft glam warm smokey eye - all of which were PERFECT! I did not have to touch up through out the day. All I did was either add more moisturizing spray or UD's All Nighter Spray. Note: If you want airbrush, request it beforehand when you make your reservation. An added plus is that these artists have RANGE! I'm in my 30s but I've seen ladies with mature skin (50+), Gen Z, I mean the skin types ran the gamut and all of the ladies that walked out of there looked beautiful AF. Not to mention the different hair types and requests that they knocked out of the park. The girl that did my hair (twice) was confident and knew exactly what to do even with a brief description or photo. Her confidence gave me confidence knowing she knew her sh*t. And my hair came out perfect every time. The place is very clean and I've consistently seen the artists wash their brushes between each new client. Making appointments online is easy and metered parking is always easy to find. The makeup and beauty industry can be hit or miss but whoever is hiring/training at this place deserves a damn award. And of course, the artists there are just SO talented. If you've got an event, check this place out! You won't be disappointed.

Since I was working and didnt see the text sent at 3pm today, I just saw it now at 8pm, I cant make any changes to my appointment as the business is closed and my card has already been charged. Pretty much sounds like a stylist or receptionist just texted me trying to scam me out of $25 just to put in their pocket because why was this not on the website when I booked an "early bird"? When I checked out, I agreed to pay $60. First and last time customer.

I was visiting from out of town and made an appointment here for a blowout with soft curls for a…read moreblack tie wedding and loved the vibe, website, descriptors, etc so chose this salon. The experience when you walk into the Trump tower is refined and elevated so of course the salon vibes were the same. I really appreciated my hair stylist, how they give you a robe to wear over your clothes, offer refreshments, etc. I intentionally chose this salon because I have color treated hair and wanted a refined blowout. The experience itself was honestly 10/10. Where my frustrations come in is the longevity of the results. My hair looked so beautiful immediately after my appointment. What I did notice during the appointment was the stylist was using L'Oréal hairspray. And honestly I didn't think anything of it because they're the experts but as I was walking back to my hotel after the appointment and glanced at my reflection in the mirror, I was shocked to see the curls had almost completely fallen out! And also my hair was frizzing up quite a bit. This is my frustration: environment: trump tower + luxurious experience + great view + Anthony Cristiano name + $110 blowout cost (before tip) does not equal L'Oréal hairspray! This equation does not add up. They use R + Co Shampoo and Conditioner which is what I would expect for a salon of this caliber but I must admit I am quite disappointed with the longevity of my results. I really thought I was going to have this beautiful , unfrizzable, elegant soft curl look that lasted the whole night but by the time I returned to my hotel my curls were gone and by the end of the night I had frizzy straight hair. Again, I think my frustration is because of the caliber of this salon and the fact that they used drug store hairspray and I had to ask for my flyaways to be tamed prior to leaving. All that to say while the experience was lovely, my closing feeling is disappointment as my results were quite lackluster. Perhaps for hair services aside from a blowout they do an exceptional job but this was not it. If you have a lot of fine hair that frizzes easily , this may not be where you want to get your blowout. Also it wasn't raining or humid! Experience: 10/10 Immediate results: 9/10 Longevity of results: 1/10 Value for this specific service: 4/10 Trump chocolate from the concierge as I was leaving: 10/10

Kelly has truly become like family. One of my favorite parts of the entire wedding experience was…read moregetting to spend the morning of my wedding with her. 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
