I love Morgan! She did my hair and makeup and hair for my three bridesmaids last month and she rocked it. I highly recommend her if you are looking for something less "bridaly" and more modern. Feel free to convo me if you want more info or pics! UPDATE: I added some pics to my profile, she is good, book her NOW! read more

Words can not describe how great I think Morgan is. She did my hair and makeup for my September wedding along with about 10 of my friends. I did a bit of a non-traditional wedding in that I didn't have any bridesmaids, rather, my friends and I just wanted to "look fabulous". Although I put on the white dress, I found hot pink shoes and a great blue beaded clutch (for my something blue) and just wanted to have great makeup and hair to complete the look. Morgan accomplished it as well as making all my friends look amazing! When I first met with Morgan I had a hard time putting into words what I wanted, in fact, she did my hair and makeup at the trial and it wasn't exactly what I was looking for (I wasn't communicating well at all), but Morgan was so patient and she came back to my house later in the week and just sat in front of the computer with me and we looked through pictures until she got a feel of exactly what I wanted. She was so kind to spend so much time with me. On the day of the wedding, she and her assistants were fun, nice and so easy going. I would hire Morgan again (in fact I already have, 2 of my friends and I had her do our makeup for NYE), I would recommend her to anyone, whether you want the "classic" wedding look or you want something a bit different -- Morgan can and will do it! She listens to the client and truly wants to make sure that she has succeeded in giving you what you want. I can not say enough great things about Morgan...if you don't have a makeup artist or hair stylist for your wedding or next big event....hire Morgan you will not be disappointed!! read more

Morgan and one of her assistants (Nora) beautified me, my bridesmaids and my mom on my wedding day. Morgan totally captured what I was looking for - something glamorous, but not overworked. Both hair and makeup were on point! She nailed what I was going for at my hair trial appointment and recreated it perfectly on my wedding day. She was also very helpful in guiding me towards what type of hair accessory would work with the style I wanted. Morgan and Nora also did phenomenal work on my bridesmaids (ranging in age from 21 to 32) and my mom. I would highly recommend Morgan and team to anyone looking for a wedding day style that is more Vogue magazine cover than typical curled bridal hair. Her commercial experience / style definitely shows through her style and you end up looking more like a model than a bride. Also a plus, I received countless compliments on how beautiful my hair and makeup was. My makeup definitely lasted all day and night, but my hair did start to loosen up / fall down a bit, but only after several hours of dancing (to be expected)! In terms of pricing, her services were on-par with most other "city" hair and makeup artists. Morgan was also reliable (showed up on time, stuck to schedule, etc.). In some instances, it took her a few days to respond to emails from me, but I understand she has other clients and jobs (and it was never over something that had to be addressed ASAP). read more

Morgan is like a cool, calm, and helpful sister that you'd want to have around you before the wedding. Morgan did my make up and hair for both wedding ceremony (Friday) and wedding reception (Sunday) in September 2009. My husband and I had a small ceremony just with our immediate families and then invited more people for the reception (outdoor in a garden). We combined the American style with our Javanese (Indonesian) tradition, Contemporer Javanese wedding we'd call it. Anyway, lots of family members came from Indonesia, my husband and I were SO busy, a little nervous, but having Morgan around totally calmed me down. I knew I had nothing to worry about because she really understood what I wanted: glamorous, sexy, but still me. Book her for your wedding. Don't stress. Know what you want, do the research, then ask Morgan what she thinks during the trial. Relax. She is real and she's a true professional. You will be in good hands. Thanks Morgan. read more

I hired Morgan for my September 2009 wedding - she did my hair and makeup, hair for my 5 bridesmaids, and hair and makeup for my mother. Morgan's work can be summed up as both phenomenal and flawless. My hair and makeup trial with Morgan was amazing - I probably could have gotten married that day because everything felt perfectly done and exactly what I had asked for. On the day of the wedding, Morgan was super chill and laid back to work with and helped keep me calm, but at the same time was very intense on getting everything done and having it done perfectly. She brought along another stylist, Heather, to help because our group was larger, and Heather was just as great to work with. I would recommend Morgan hands down to anyone looking for wedding hair and makeup. For the quality of her work, she is absolutely worth every penny. In looking back at my wedding pictures, from morning until late in the evening my hair and makeup still look flawless - I'm pretty sure I have never looked so good! read more

I chose to use Morgan for my June 2011 wedding based off of quite a few amazing reviews of her hair and makeup services on Yelp. I can honestly say that she absolutely lived up to and exceeded my expectations! I'm a super pale person who really wanted a natural, yet beautiful look. I went in for my first trial with Morgan and found her to be incredibly professional, and friendly. A few days after my first trial run, I had decided that I wanted to change a few things about my look, after which she graciously allowed me to come in for a second trial run. I looked great after the first trial run, but ended up deciding to change my hairstyle and the colors of some of the eye makeup. She was able to follow the look I wanted while adding subtle elements that made me look incredible. On the day of the wedding, it was 95 degrees and humid (it ended up raining). Morgan showed up on time prepared for the weather. I had planned to leave my hair down and curly, but we both knew that this style would leave me sweaty and uncomfortable. She guided me and gave me a hairstyle that we had never before tried, but that looked more incredible than anything else I could have imagined. She was able to arrive at the scene and put together all the details of what my wedding would look like, and what the weather would be like to give me a stunning look that lasted throughout the night. I looked even better than I thought possible on the day of my wedding, and I have her to thank! Before booking Morgan, I had strongly considered using an artist that did airbrush makeup. Now I see that a great hair and makeup artist like Morgan can use non-airbrush products that stay throughout a humid, rainy day and feel completely natural. Morgan is worth every penny! She truly has a great talent and an amazing amount of experience behind her. read more

Highly recommended artist, Morgan did an outstanding job at a wedding I recently photographed and I have been recommending her to my clients ever since. Many artists can do work for a magazine and touch up the models every two minutes, but Morgan knows how to create a look for brides that will last through the entire day, even on a humid Chicago summer day. of course, her model work is top notch as well :) hope to work with her again! read more

Morgan did my hair for my August 2009 wedding. She did a fantastic job! It is one of the things I have received the most compliments on. I was indecisive on how I wanted to wear my hair (up or down) and worried because a lot of curly updos can look like very bad prom hair. Well, my hair looked phenomenal after Morgan was done. It looked modern and elegant. It was exactly the type of look I wanted (though couldn't really describe) and it stayed in place all day - even though it was the most humid day all freakin summer. read more

I could not recommend Morgan enough. She did my hair and makeup for my November 2009 wedding and I couldn't have asked for a stylist more chill yet fun and not to mention uber-professional and dedicated to her craft. In particular, Morgan gets the balance between what is too much and what makes you glow. She is absolutely perfect for brides who want a glamorous and sexy yet natural look. Morgan is also super supportive and patient: She stuck with me as I lacked the vocabulary to explain the lip color i was going for and I probably drove her crazy unconvinced that my finished look would last through pictures and the ceremony.... But trust her on this...I didn't re-apply ANYTHING and really didn't have to - everything was perfect. Day of, she kept me calm and was super accommodating for our schedule. Hopefully I won't get married again :) but I would definitely call on Morgan for any other occasion where I want to glow. Thanks, Morgan! read more

Unfortunately, Morgan Blaul cannot be counted on. Morgan CANCELLED on me just TWO WEEKS BEFORE MY WEDDING in October 2010. She told me she had to go out of town and would put me in touch with her friend, who I had never met before. Morgan had not mentioned having a team of people in place previously, so I was very concerned. I asked several questions about her friend's hair/makeup products, references, salon experience, etc, but Morgan did not answer any of my questions. Meanwhile, in the time it took for Morgan to respond to me, I made an appointment with the highly responsive, professional and skilled Sonia Roselli team. (side note: they were amazing!) Morgan was the most unprofessional of any of the wedding vendors I worked with, and I would never recommend someone who cancelled without explanation, two weeks before a wedding. Brides have plenty of other things to worry about than the reliability of Morgan. read more

Like another review, Morgan also cancelled on me two weeks before my wedding. She didn't give an explanation, just said she would be out of town. What's the point of paying a deposit if she just can cancel at any time? She offered her assistant as a replacement but why would I give her or any of her friends my business now?! I was planning my wedding from California so it wasn't easy to find a replacement at such short notice but luckily I did. She turned out to be better than Morgan. Her name is Sana. read more

Morgan is a true artist -- and an incredible person to have on any set. She's also extraordinary as a personal makeup artist. I have been in Morgan's chair upwards of 100 times for both work and personal needs and she always make me feel beautiful and ready to take on the world. read more

I hired Morgan to do my hair and makeup for my upcoming August wedding. At my trial a couple of months ago, we had so much fun. I couldn't believe it when I looked at my watch and realized how much time had flown by. Besides doing an amazing job on my hair and makeup we just had fun! She's very laid back and easy to talk too but at the same time I have all faith in her that she's going to make me and my bridesmaids look amazing on my wedding day. I also am still deciding on some hair/makeup details and I'm sure that Morgan will get it right. read more

Morgan is great to work with - really appreciate her attention to detail for hair and makeup. If it doesn't look right, she'll do it over again (with hair) until it's what you want. Morgan did my hair and makeup for my June 2011 wedding but even before that she dolled me up for a best friend's wedding - back then I knew I wanted her to do it all again for the big day. She also did my hair/makeup for the bachelorette party. Each time she can tweak the look to make it fit the day. She's very creative and it's obvious she has a lot of experience. Go Morgan! read more

"Woohoo! As good as it gets!"? (according to the star rating description) I would say even better :). Morgan is so easy going and helpful. She was definitely a positive on the day of my wedding. I liked her as soon as I met her the day of my hair and makeup trial. I was a bit undecided on how I wanted my hair, but she was so good and recommending what would fit my face and style of dress. My makeup looked very natural and my hair looked so pretty. My pictures look fabulous due partly to her good work. I will recommend her every opporutnity I get!!!! read more

I booked Morgan for my June 2009 wedding. I absolutely loved my hair and makeup. After Morgan was done with me I felt so beautiful and not at all "done-up." Both my hair and makeup lasted all night (even after some serious dancing outdoors in the heat and humidity) and they looked great in photos. Morgan also did my mom's hair and makeup and I'm so glad she did because my mom is usually very self-conscious, but she ended up feeling and looking great. Morgan is just fantastic! I highly recommend her. read more

I booked Morgan Blaul for my August 2008 wedding. What an amazing artist! Morgan is a professional hair & makeup artist, represented at the top agency here in Chicago. She works with a lot of models and thankfully, brides! I'll admit that I was skeptical about justifying the expense at first -- I've had my hair and makeup done before, and had never been 'wowed.' I booked her the moment I looked in the mirror at my trial. She completely nailed the look I was going for, and made some great style recommendations for complementary jewelry. Day of, she traveled to my location, which was incredibly convenient. As an fyi, she does not do airbrush. My makeup lasted flawlessly all day, though, from noon until 4 am! And she's just as good with hair. I really felt like I looked my best on my wedding day. She also did my mom's makeup and Maid of Honor's hair. They were just as happy as I was with their results. In addition to being incredibly talented, she's also really sweet, totally professional, and made me much more relaxed and comfortable on the big day. I highly recommend her for both hair and makeup! read more
