Since then, I haven't had to wear makeup to work at all this week and I feel more confident than I've felt in a long time.

I cannot say enough about Sarah and her team! I hired them for my wedding in September. I had Sarah…read morefor my hair and Ashlynn for my make up. They also did hair and make up for my bridesmaids, mother of the bride and flower girl. From start to finish, Sarah made it easy. Very customer service oriented and made sure to get back to any emails quickly. None of that confusing, messy pricing either. They have simple packages and honestly, that's what hooked me! I was done receiving complicated quotes. When I went in for my trial, I had a hair accessory that I wanted to use, but wasn't 100% sold on it. Sarah suggested something bigger that she had held onto as she hadn't found the right bride and look for it. After perfecting my hair, she surprised me with that hair accessory, and BAM it was the cherry on top! It was perfect! Gorgeous! I am so thankful as it put more oomph in my look! The day of my wedding, Sarah and Ashlynn were just great and put any nerves I had aside! They worked efficiently and made me look and feel so beautiful! Not only was I happy, but everyone else in my party was happy as well. I was obsessed with my hair and make up and so was every guest at my wedding. My husband could not say enough good things...especially with the makeup. I felt like a princess. They have really awesome and fresh ideas! I showed some inspiration of hair and make up, and like I said before, they put some oomph in it. If you're searching around for your bridal hair and make up, please search no further! They were absolutely the best!!!

I recommended her to a friend for her wedding this October so I am excited for her to do my hair and makeup then as well. Her work is beautiful. She really takes the time to make sure she gets everything just perfectly. During my trial I had one idea initially and as she was working on it she was asking for my thoughts and made changes and suggestions as needed. The trial was perfect, but somehow the day of it was even better. I will recommend her to anyone who asks and I have done so on many FB pages. She even did hair and makeup for my wedding on her twin boys birthday which I never would have asked or expected had I realized it was the same date. But she took care of us, everyone looked amazing and still had time for birthday celebrations. You couldn't ask for a nicer, more accommodating and talented person to work with for your event!

A no-hassle way to get pretty on your wedding day? Coming right up!…read more After getting several quotes from other makeup artists and companies...I was frustrated and feeling a bit like "screw this, I can do my own makeup and hair!" Inflexible, upcharges for everything, outrageously expensive, booked, etc etc. No thanks. Then, a light bulb flashed... I actually found Julia (the makeup artist at Pretty Windy City) through her other affiliated venture, Vavoom Pinups. She spends time there making gals into cute little sexpot kittens for the camera. We took a friend of mine there for a shoot a year or so back and I remember the makeup being fantastic, Julia being phenomenal (and fun, and low stress), etc, etc, etc. So, I was pretty thrilled when I emailed and Julia told me that they actually love doing weddings and she also had a hair girl (Sara). Bonus! And that they'd come to my hotel, no problem. AND that they'd come to my house to do my trial. Could they have made it any better? In a time that was actually a bit helter skelter, the gals at PWC made life sparkle. They materialized my "vision" (meaning, pinterest board with random photos) into something I loved. Super simple, but glam. Julia uses airbrush foundation, which gave me a glow that more than one person commented on. Of course, I told my husband it was surely because I was so happy...but really, the makeup job was bangin'. Loved my hair too. Also simple and fresh, upscale without being severe. Sara is a gem! Pretty Windy City was all that and a bagga'chips and thus they are at the top of my list in terms of "wedding vendors." They made the afternoon fun, they weren't frantic or stressed out, they were flexible, they made my mom and grandmother look beautiful, and were all around just really fun gals to have at the hotel that day. Down to earth. Not divas. My grandmother (who I adore) said it was actually her very favorite part of the day, which touched my heart. I know she felt really beautiful walking out of that hotel room, and I was so grateful to J&S for making her feel special. Sara even fluffed up her hair on the fly after she got caught in the rain! True service and heart in this company. I'll post photos once I have them from the photographer! *payable by cash or check. *email for quotes/pricing. *no minimums, they'll come do just the bride if that's what you'd like. *if they travel to hotel, you'll pay for their parking, of course. *tell them I said hello!

In April I followed up with her three days before my scheduled appointment to confirm she still had me on her schedule, which I felt the need to do after my January experience with her. She never contacted me back to confirm and my appointment time passed. I am very disappointed considering I live out of state, and I came into town this weekend just to have the trial done. I wish I could have had a chance to review her makeup ability but all I can review is her customer service which has been unreliable and unprofessional.

The cut and styling was super fast and I think she was done in like 45 minutes with everything. It was one of the quickest and comfiest cut and styles I had because I feel like she is decisive is her cuts. I asked for big blowout and realized that bring from the south still has a hold on me haha. I loved it and left feeling great about how it looked. I think I will be back for coloring services. It was very casual and relaxed. The pricing is also super fair for the area.

It was easy to book an appointment online with her. She was friendly, personable and made me feel comfortable. She took the time to explain to me a few options that I had and was very comfortable with helping me decide what service I needed based on what I was looking for. She took the time to map out my face and show me several options The shop was very clean and sterile - I only say sterile because Jazmin took all supplies out of new packaging and all tools and equipment was wrapped to avoid cross contamination. She took her time and checked in with me and my pain regularly. Overall it was a great experience and I am in love with my new brows.

My most recent experience with a lash lift was really positive but I am planning on going on a trip soon where I do not want to have to worry about putting on any makeup. With that in mind, I decided to try this spot out for some lash extensions with the idea that if I liked them, I would get a fill in a couple weeks prior to my trip. I decided to go here based on all the positive reviews. When I first arrived, I was super nauseated from my Uber ride and the woman that answered the door was very friendly, got me a chair out of the direct sunlight (overheated) and got me some cold water. It was such a friendly and welcoming way to enter my appointment after such a rough Uber ride. Jazmin was so lovely and friendly, making me feel comfortable and listening to what I said I wanted done to my lashes. She had just gotten her own done and I loved how they looked and kind of also showed her a few pictures of what I was looking for to get this kind of layered, wispy look that I was going for. The session was really relaxing and she was so patient, even when for some reason I kept having to cough throughout the appointment. She did not get frustrated or rush through anything and I absolutely loved the results. I cannot wait to go back in two weeks and get just a little more volume/length added before my trip :)
