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!

Unfortunately, I have had the worst of luck until I came across Romi. Romi will be the only person touching my eyebrows from here on out. For starters, she introduced me to eyebrow tinting, which completely changed the eyebrow game for me. My eyebrow shape is spectacular a month later. I am counting down the days to my next Friday appointment with her. Aside from her eyebrow talent, Romi was very kind and sweet and I am thankful and blessed to have been introduced to her. I will add a picture my next appointment. Definitely make that appointment with her, you will not regret it!

It was my first time at Bond Wax Studio and I can honestly say Sharren is just bloody awesome!…read more Let's face it ladies (and gentlemen) waxing is never fun but today it was a quick and pretty much painless experience during my Brazilian..

My appointment was at noon but I had a few errrands to run in the area, so I was thrilled when Sharren called saying that she could take me earlier if I was available. The studio is a mix of independent salons/artists, so it was a bit hard to find, but Sharren was looking for me. Clean and super cute space, Sharren was friendly and talkative which is always nice to keep your mind off the waxing. The experience was quick and pretty painless. I will definitely be back.

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!
