She made me feel so beautiful and confident all day - exactly how you want to feel on your wedding day. She also did a great job with my mom and mother-in-law's makeup and hair. My lips were unfortunately a bit dry and peeling the morning of, but Pati used some sort of lip scrub and smoothed it right out. I was also worried about ruining my makeup since I knew I'd be crying during our private vows, but it stayed completely intact through all the tears. I was so impressed! If you're looking for someone talented who really listens to what you want and whose work actually lasts, I highly recommend Pati at Diem Angie!

I didn't even do a trial due to circumstance (I was arriving in town two days before the wedding), but everything turned out perfect. I was paired with Heather who was SO sweet. She was quick, kind, on time, and just genuinely a joy to work with. Everyone looked amazing; she pulled my vision for my wedding look right out of my head. I'm so grateful for her being a part of my special day and I would love the opportunity to get glammed by her again.

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. I am so grateful I found her and would highly recommend her to any bride looking for someone who will make them feel beautiful, confident, and well taken care of on their wedding day or for any event/occasion!

From the start, Chyla was super responsive and put me at ease - I don't normally get my hair or…read moremakeup done. We did two trials and then she came on the morning of my wedding for me, 2 moms, and 1 sister.

I was overdue to update my headshots, and a colleague recommended I get some professional grooming…read moredone beforehand so I'd actually like the photos. A quick search led me to goldplaited and their male grooming package, which seemed exactly like what I needed. I was looking for something really subtle and natural--just a more polished version of myself--and they nailed it. They took the time to understand the look I was going for and didn't rush the process at all. They also checked in along the way to make sure everything felt right, which I appreciated. Nothing felt overdone, but it made a noticeable difference once I got in front of the camera. I felt a lot more confident going into the shoot, and the photos turned out better than I expected. Super professional, easy to work with, and you can tell they care about getting it right. Really glad I found them.

Over the past four years, I've spent well over $20,000 at Goldplaited and have consistently…read moreappreciated the talented and kind stylists who work there. Unfortunately, my experiences with one of the owners have been very different. I've since moved away from Chicago but have returned 6-8 times over the past year and a half, and it has become increasingly clear that my loyalty as a longtime client is taken for granted. When this particular owner is involved in my appointments, I often feel rushed through my service rather than treated like a returning client. I've also repeatedly been placed with less experienced stylists, even after years of consistently supporting the business and spending a significant amount of money here. What is most disappointing is the overall attitude. My interactions with this owner have consistently felt cold, dismissive, and unaccommodating. After four years of loyalty, I don't expect special treatment, but I do expect the same level of care and customer service that any client should receive. The rest of the staff has always been kind, hardworking, and welcoming, which is why I continued coming back for so long. Unfortunately, the way one of the owners treats a longtime client, and the feeling that my continued business is simply assumed rather than valued, has really changed how I feel about a salon I once loved.

Both the hair and makeup artists cared so much about what they did and made sure I was happy with my look after my trial and if there was anything I wanted to change. They both killed it on my wedding day and I never felt more beautiful! Both artists arrived on time at the correct location so that was seamless. The only thing that worried me a bit was that I did not have contact information for the hair or makeup artists directly, only the Pin Me Up team who acts as a middleman, so I was worried that if they did run into issues it would be more difficult to resolve. But everything turned out perfect!

I don't know much about hair & makeup, but with the little descriptions I gave on what I did and didn't like in a look, they were able to transform into exactly what I was looking for. I came prepared to my trial with lots of inspo pictures and both my hair and makeup artists executed the looks nearly perfectly! The final touch call after my trial but before my wedding day left me feeling very confident the HMU part of my day would run smoothly. On my wedding day, we discussed my feedback from my trial and it was clear they came prepared knowing what changes to make. My final looks were better than I ever could have imagined! They also worked very efficiently and kept us on schedule all morning. I wasn't worried about timing at all. I'm SO glad I used Pin Me Up, I can't recommend them enough! They're incredibly professional, responsive to any questions you have, and prepared to make you look and feel incredible on your wedding day!

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

Our wedding was almost 1 month ago, and I've been trying for weeks to find the appropriate words…read morethat convey the gratitude I have for Joanna (Joanna B. Artistry). Joanna is one of a kind, extremely personable and a true professional in the industry. Our original wedding date was set for 8/15/20 and getting engaged less than a year before, I was in a rush to lock in my team of vendors. I reached out to a friend who sent me multiple MUA suggestions, one being Joanna, as my friend was a bridesmaid in a recent wedding of hers. Joanna was available for my date and after chatting on the phone I quickly locked her in for myself plus 8 bridesmaids, my mom and future mother in law. We did my initial makeup trial in December 2020 and I was the bride that brought a few inspiration photos but didn't really give much direction to the look I was going for. Joanna was patient, confident and so skilled that she knew what look would complement my features/skin tone and went to work. She delivered A+ bridal glam while still having me look like my natural self, false lashes and all. She even updated my look right then after the trial by adding a red lip for my engagement shoot that afternoon, which was such a sweet and unexpected gesture. Fast forward to spring 2020, pandemic in full swing and a new wedding date of 6/26/21. Joanna stuck with me through all the many changes, didn't take advantage of the situation by adding contract addendum fees and even offered a Black Friday deal for rehearsal dinner glam for her brides. She stayed in touch, checked in and made me feel confident and excited for our new wedding date. Joanna also stayed on top of beauty and makeup trends while events were all cancelled or postponed during the spring. Her Instagram is my favorite as she shares honest opinions/reviews about both skin and makeup products. I also booked another make up session for round 2 engagement photos with Joanna that October and it's true talent when you can create multiple looks on the same person for different occasions. On the wedding day, Joanna brought an assistant with her (as planned) for our wedding day as we had 11 people total and her assistant was top of the line talent as well. My whole bridal party felt beautiful and our makeup lasted the entire night without even needing to touch up (although Joanna provides her brides with a generous touch up kit, just in case). It's also important to note that it was raining sideways and extremely humid, but looking at the bridal party, you'd never know judging by our long lasting glam. I highly recommend getting your makeup done for the rehearsal as well as I wish there was a recording of my reaction when Joanna showed me the "finished product" in the mirror. I was SO excited and after already having 2 trials, having one the day before the wedding made me confident that I would feel like my best self on the biggest day of my life and let me tell you, I did. I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life. I have also never seen my mom look so gorgeous and it made me happy that she was so happy! I call Joanna a wizard because she's casually chatting with you, so calm, focused and voila! hands you the mirror and it's truly a natural work of art. I'm already trying to think of reasons why I need my makeup professionally done to utilize Joanna again. I could not recommend anyone better and trust you are in GREAT hands with the loveliest of professionals, Joanna B. Artistry. Photos by @annkamphoto
