So happy we booked Blush Events to do hair/makeup for our wedding in July 2017! Prior to booking, I…read moretalked with Ben over email. He was very responsive, professional, and helpful. The booking process was very easy. In the beginning, I was unsure of some details - how many people, locations, etc - but Ben was very flexible with this. I was also pleased with how affordable Blush was compared to other hair/makeup services in Chicago. Raina did my hair/makeup trial a month or so before at Bleach and I was so impressed! On the day of, Raina and Jackie came to our hotel room to do hair/makeup for myself as well as my three bridesmaids. They did such an amazing job on all of us! Very talented and all of our hair/makeup stayed for the whole day/night. Would definitely recommend Blush Events to others!

I am so glad I booked Ben and his team for my wedding. All my bridesmaids loved their hair and…read moremakeup and everyone at the wedding commented on how impressed they were by how well the hair and makeup withstood the crazy wind and rain we experienced on my wedding day. My hair stayed up so well that I was able to wear it to our good-bye brunch the next morning! Finally, Ben's team was just enjoyable to be around. We loved spending the morning of the wedding with them, everyone was comfortable and able to relax. I cannot recommend Ben and Blush Events enough. I now go to Ben's salon, Bleach on Lincoln Ave., for my cut and color.

The color match is perfect, you would never guess I had extensions in unless you know me. Well maybe you would because I can't stop talking about how much I love them.

This is a small, woman-owned business and it's all business -- and a little fun. Linda and…read moreCharlotte are fantastic people. And while the banter is always great, what's really important here is the quality of the cuts and services. Linda has been my stylist for five years now. I'm very particular about my hair (it is, after all, my one beauty -- fading with the years thought it may be...) I haven't seen a stylist as talented as Linda in decades. Combine her London-proved, top-tier skills with that amazing heart of gold she runs around with and you're bound to love her as much as I do. As we used to say in the 80s, Linda can really bang some hair! More importantly, the quality of her work and her disposition are insanely consistent -- always the best.

Maria was my makeup artist for all my wedding-year events from June 2018-March 2019: from my…read moreearly-morning engagement photo shoot, my bridal shower, and my wedding and I was 100% happy with the process and results. I got so many compliments on my makeup at each event. Maria is so nice to talk to, too, and is flexible and always willing to make any changes to meet what you like. We did a number of makeup trials and as long as I spoke up, Maria was great at adjusting the makeup to get my desired look. It is very important to her to make you feel great and she doesn't take any adjustments personally. She also went the extra mile before my wedding and brought me amazing skin care samples to use-- face scrubs & masks-- to help me really glow on the big day. On the wedding day, she was fantastic, as was her talented assistant. She was on time and she and her assistant got through the 5 person bridal party (4 bridesmaids, 1 bridesman who got male grooming with Maria, and 2 moms, and of course me, the bride), smoothly. Everyone was thrilled with their looks and so happy, and we all looked like movie stars! Her pricing is extremely reasonable, too, and good value for the work. I wish I had more events and excuses to work with Maria again!

Let's start with the good: Maria was very nice and accommodating…read more Unfortunately, I was disappointed and frankly shocked at how bad the makeup itself was. For eyes, the eyeliner lines were incredibly shaky (and not even a true black!!!), the requested blending was either nonexistent or very shoddily done (with streaks), and the lashes were noticeably plasticky with no mascara to mask the artificial texture. The blush technique and shapes were ALL wrong, concentrated all on the apples, and not in a good way, with almost no blending. The lip color was for one of the models was very unflattering! NO eyebrow definition. Also, I paid for some hairstyling, but she didn't even bring a curling iron. To be fair, we were rushed with one of the models, but one had PLENTY of time to be worked on and turned out like a clown due to the very poor attention to detail. Maybe I caught her on a bad day. The makeup I did on myself in literally 4 minutes was better than the end result. While I enjoyed her company, I STRONGLY advise you to stay away if you're looking for more avant-garde looks.

I would steer clear of Martin unless you want to be disrespected when getting your hair done. He…read morewas unprofessional and rude. I asked for a simple ponytail updo for a wedding. He was polite in the beginning but when my hair looked more like a bun (not what I asked for?) I asked for just a regular ponytail. His attitude completely changed: he got angry, was aggressively combing / pulling at my hair, sticking pins in my hair painfully and making me feel like an inconvenience. Ultimately when it was done there were pieces of hair falling out of the updo and tons of little bumps on the top. It looked very messy when he fixed it, and he blamed me for not liking his first style. I have gotten several ponytail updos and never had issues until this time - very bizarre and unpleasant experience.

When you have curly hair, you understand that fear and the desire to find someone who "gets" it. I feel so lucky that I've had Lynzie in my life for all these years. Over the years I followed her through multiple salons, but unfortunately, I won't be able to follow her when she moves to Colorado (but if I ever visit, you know I will be hitting her up for a c&c!). My hair has changed and my style changed but Lynzie was my rock and always there to give me the best curly cut and hair color around.

How great! I wanted to try some extreme skincare, so boom! Microdermabrasion Groupon! Everything…read moreabout my visit was fantastic. The salon: Spotless, uncluttered. Everything was very neat and clean. Paulina has her own little empire inside the Sabe Salon, so this review is for her operation only. Microdermabrasion! I'm a convert! A couple days later now, I have no redness issues, and my skin feels gorgeous, soft n' smooth. Even a few hours after on that day, I went to a party and I felt like my skin looked great. Other stuff: music level was good, not too loud, relaxing. Not too much chatting, which is nice. Room temperature: perfect. The service itself - fantastic. Microdermabrasion feels a little weird, like a tiny lamprey raking your skin, but is not unpleasant. Also, a few pore extractions which is always a good thing. Spotless skin, for the win! Paulina was incredibly precise, and I feel like she covered every square centimeter of my skin. The little crystals did not get in my eyes, no discomfort whatsoever. On the contrary, I found it very relaxing. The microdermabrasion included face, neck and decollette as well - gotta keep all areas fresh and fine! After microdermabrasion, was a wonderful skin, neck and decollette massage with a blissful coconut/avocado oil. After THAT was a facial with a wonderful masque that smelled like apples and felt GREAT on my skin. While I was relaxing with that on - foot rub with the coconut/avocado massage oil! I was so glad my feet were clean! Prices - forget the Groupon - are really reasonable. Best recommendation, go see this friendly, knowledgeable girl in Logan Square and walk out with beautiful skin!
