Blush and Braids was super easy to book and work with. Sarah and Janessa did an amazing job for my wedding! I felt beautiful, and everyone in my bridal party did as well. Book them for your wedding!
Sarah & Team (Jessica, Lorraina, Brenda, and Mercedes) were absolutely wonderful to work with for my wedding.

Macy did my bridal hair and makeup and she was SO lovely and fun! She understood my vision and delivered. Hair and makeup lasted all night.
I recently used Blush and Braids Beauty Bar for my wedding and I can't say enough good things! Not only were the artists extremely efficient, professional, and kind, but they did a wonderful job!

I had the most INCREDIBLE experience with Blush and Braids for my wedding! They are so kind, professional, and a dream to work with. They were so wonderful with any adjustments I wanted to my wedding makeup, and they stuck to our wedding timeline like organized clockwork. They made everyone feel so beautiful…
Blush & Braids Beauty Bar are true professionals! Katie and Kat helped us feel absolutely fabulous, even in a rustic setting surrounded by trees and ferns. We actually put their work to the test with a sunset portrait session in Mount Rainier NP the evening before our wedding. We hiked about 3 miles for our photos,…
Used BBBB for my wedding, and they were amazing! Our artists were all super kind and very efficient! The entire party got compliments all day for hair and makeup, and they were very reasonably priced as well! As the bride I did rental extensions as well, and they matched PERFECTLY
I had Symone from Blush & Braids Beauty Bar do makeup for my wedding, and she did a fantastic job! Everyone who had makeup done looked amazing, and it lasted really well throughout the day. Blush & Braids Beauty Bar was also great about reaching out ahead of time to help put together the day-of schedule. I…
The team at Blush and Braids was so great to work with for my wedding! Everyone looked stunning! I was very nervous about hair and makeup as someone who rarely does either, and they all made me so comfortable throughout the whole process. I’ll be recommending their services to all the brides in my life 💞
Katie H did my makeup for my engagement shoot. She was great to work with! She was professional, timely and listened to what I wanted and also gave great recommendations. I was very happy with my experience.
Where to even begin... My best friend hired Blush & Braids two years ago for her wedding and did the bridal party's hair and makeup. I was blown away by how perfect, natural, and long lasting both services were! Obviously when I got engaged and secured a wedding date, they were the first people I reached out to!…
I used blush and braids beauty bar (Washington location) for my wedding and was more than thrilled with not only the wedding day looks, but their customer service is top notch! My first trial did not go well for a few reasons which I won’t get into, what mattered is how they handled the situation and responded. I…
Beyond thrilled that I worked with Blush and Braids Beauty Bar for my wedding. Sarah and team had been MU & Hair for my best friend's wedding and I had the pleasure of working with them as a wedding coordinator as well. From my trial through the wedding day Sarah did the best job with my makeup and Rafaela made my…

Mercedes was the star of the show in our hair and make-up pre-wedding. She was able to deal with all different types of hair textures and skin tones and really made everyone feel beautiful. The whole team was on time, lovely to be around, and made our wedding party look gorgeous. The team flawlessly dealt with last…
Sarah W. is not only a sweetheart, but a magician!!! I was lucky enough to not only book makeup services for my wedding day, but Sarah was also available to do my bridal trial for my bridal shower. She asked great questions and really got to see my vision on how I wanted to look on my big day, was able to make any…
I am super grateful to Sarah, who did my bridal wedding makeup. I have an extremely sensitive skin allergy that dozens of other makeup artists in the area refused to accommodate, but Sarah was able to provide me a trial before fully paying for services to make sure I wouldn't have an allergic reaction. My husband…
I originally worked with Blush and Braids at a wedding that I was in Oct 2022 and then loved them so much I booked them for my own wedding! They were wonderful to work with and very accommodating. All the hair and makeup artists were professional, talented, friendly and arrived on time and finished ahead of…
Eva was our stylist for my wedding day and she did an amazing job!! She did two of my bridesmaids hair and makeup and my mom and my makeup. My bridesmaids hair looked phenomenal!! So full of volume and exactly the styles they asked for! All of our makeup stayed pristine ALL day. By the end of the night, I was…
Brenda and Zoe were absolutely incredible! From the moment they arrived, they brought such a calm, fun, and positive energy to the day. Brenda absolutely nailed the makeup—I felt like the most elevated version of myself, and the look lasted all night long. Zoe completely got my vision for the hair and made it come…
Blush & Braids was amazing!!! Dana, Alex, and Jenna were all so wonderful and kind to my whole wedding party on the morning of my wedding. We had a lovely morning with them and everyone was so pleased with their services. My hair and makeup were really everything I could’ve hoped for - I felt so amazing! I also did…
Highly recommend Blush and braids! Lorraina did an amazing job with the makeup for me and my wedding party and was wonderful to work with.
Catherine and Emely did my hair and makeup for my wedding and my moms and bridesmaids. They were so friendly, so talented, and so efficient. We got all done early so it made for a very chilled morning. I loved my hair and makeup and it stayed all night! Any selfies I took, I kept thinking to myself that I looked sooooo good!
We had a wonderful experience with Blush & Braids Beauty Company for our Chicago area wedding! They provided full-service hair and makeup and sent three amazing artists, Janessa, Lorraina, and Delilah, who arrived on time and kept us on schedule at our venue in the suburbs. The team made planning easy, from quickly…
Ren was wonderful and brought such a great energy to our wedding day! Our hair came out beautifully. It was really difficult to find a wedding hair stylist with natural curls in their portfolio, so really appreciated being able to see so much curly work from Blush and Braids. I wanted to have a perfect hair day…
Yari and Savannah did such an amazing job on my hair and makeup for my wedding, I got so many compliments!! I would highly recommend them!
Thank you to the Blush and Braids team in Chicago for a flawless experience getting ready for my wedding this past weekend! Eva, Zoe, Amy, Janessa, and Sarah were great to work with.

I was an out-of-town wedding guest and contacted Blush and Braids Beauty Bar for hair and makeup services for two separate days during my stay. They were quick to respond and able to accommodate my requests of coming to the hotel for the services. Macy was PHENOMENAL! She listened to all of my wants and needs and…
I cannot thank Anahi enough for the incredible job she did on my wedding day! From the trial to the actual day itself, she was professional, helpful and so talented. She truly listened to what I wanted and created a look that was both natural and glamorous! Mine & my entire party's makeup lasted all day and night…
I had a wonderful experience for bridal hair and makeup with my stylist Kelsey! She travelled to Port Townsend, WA and did makeup for me and my bridesmaids, and hair for me and my MOH. Kelsey kept the vibes positive, you could tell she was very experienced. She knew just how to work with people who aren't everyday…
I highly recommend working with Blush and Braids!!! I used them for my wedding, and they were so talented, delightful to work with, ran ahead of schedule, and very professional. Everyone in my wedding party was so happy, and they were great at both hair and make up, which I feel like isn't a given. I'm so glad…
I HIGHLY recommend using BBBB for your beauty services. As a bride who doesn't typically wear makeup and has naturally curly/wavy hair, my priority for hair/makeup services was finding a place who would make me look and feel beautiful and confident, but still like myself. The BBBB team KNOCKED it out of the park.…
My team from Blush and Braids Beauty Bar had both me and my bridesmaids looking/feeling amazing for my wedding day!!
I could not recommend Blush and Braids more highly! They were on time, very kind to work with, and did INCREDIBLE work with my bridal services and for all my bridesmaids. My curls and extensions lasted all night throughout dancing and warm temps, and I got tons of compliments on my makeup. I highly recommend them!
I couldn't have had a better experience. My artist Macy, captured my vision for my wedding hair and makeup so well! I don't know a lot about makeup or hair, and even with lacking the exact language to describe what I wanted, Macy took my inspo photos and ran with it. Everyone was on time, friendly, and honestly, the…
From my trial to my wedding day, Mercedes delivered exactly the look I wanted. She gave great advice on how to make my inspiration pictures a reality and I felt so fabulous on the day. Not to mention, my hair and makeup stayed all day and all night - even through hours on the dance floor! On top of that, Mercedes is…
I was very pleased with BBBB professionalism. Katie was prompt at responding to emails, it was so relieving to have a vendor that was always on top of it. Both my hair stylist and MUA were very nice and good at their craft (I had Giselle a Fatemah). They interacted well with my bridal party and made everyone look so…
Blush and Braids was incredible to work with for my wedding! Hung did hair and Heather did makeup for me and my bridesmaids. Both of them are warm, friendly, professional, and TALENTED. I told Heather that I wanted to look like myself, just dialed up. I didn’t want to go too glam or look too different. She made me…
I used Blush and Braids for my wedding in Lake Forest and they did an amazing job!! The girls were all very friendly and they made the getting ready portion of our wedding day so much fun. They showed up on time, and left earlier than we thought which was perfect because everyone got their hair and makeup done in…
