    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.

    What an amazing experience and result. Passing through Chicago on business this week, I found this…read morebeautiful salon after a deep dive Internet search. Heinz cut my hair and the results are what I'd hoped for. Beautiful salon inside. Friendly people. Amazing views from their floor to ceiling windows. I hope to come back again someday.

    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
