Hair and makeup is such a stressful process for a bride because there are so many different visions! Working with Alisa was great.

I cannot recommend this team highly enough. They stepped in on very short notice when our original plans fell through and delivered exceptional service from start to finish. Communication was prompt, professional, and responsive throughout the entire process. Most importantly, they arrived exactly on time and ensured our CEO was completely ready on schedule. Their professionalism immediately gave us confidence that everything would go smoothly, and they exceeded expectations. The quality of the products used and the final hair and makeup results were truly high-end and flawless. A wonderful experience all around. We'll be using Chicago Bridal Artists again on our next visit to Chicago!

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Chicago Bridal Artists, especially Romelia P. for makeup and Nina for hair! From the very first inquiry to the morning of my wedding, the entire experience was absolutely phenomenal. I originally reached out about 10 months before my wedding, and throughout the planning process, my vision for both hair and makeup changed quite a bit. The entire team was so patient, understanding, communicative, and accommodating every step of the way. They made everything feel so easy, which is exactly what you want as a bride! Romelia P and Nina are not only incredibly talented at what they do, but they both have the most wonderful, calming energy. I cannot emphasize this enough! I've been in weddings where getting ready feels rushed, stressful, or chaotic, and this was the complete opposite. They were so calm, kind, organized, and professional, and their energy genuinely helped me feel relaxed on such an emotional and exciting day. There was never a moment where I felt rushed or pressured. They simply made the entire morning such a positive, peaceful experience. Romelia P was an absolute dream to work with. I'm naturally a shy, especially when it comes to expressing what I want, and she made me feel so comfortable from the very beginning. She was incredibly patient, understanding, and genuinely encouraged my feedback. I also have acne scarring and skin texture that I'm self-conscious about, and she worked so beautifully with my skin without emphasizing any of those areas. She made me feel truly beautiful, and that meant more to me than I can explain. Nina was equally incredible! Watching her work was like watching an artist create a masterpiece. She is so talented, thoughtful, and receptive to feedback, and I absolutely loved how my hair turned out. Both my trial and wedding-day experience were everything I could have hoped for. We also had a group with a variety of hair types, textures, and makeup preferences, and both artists did such a beautiful job making everyone look and feel their best. Their versatility and attention to detail were so impressive. Everything ran perfectly on time, communication was excellent, and both artists were genuinely such a pleasure to be around. They are true professionals and absolutely phenomenal at their craft, but what really sets them apart is the energy they bring into the room. They made the getting-ready portion of my wedding day feel just as special as the rest of the celebration. I genuinely wish I could have Romelia P and Nina do my hair and makeup every single day! LOL I cannot recommend Chicago Bridal Artists enough. If you're a bride looking for incredibly talented artists who are also kind, patient, professional, and bring the most calming, positive energy to your wedding morning, look no further. Thank you, Romelia P and Nina, for making me feel so beautiful and for being such a wonderful part of my wedding day! I would choose you both a thousand times over! 🤍

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review! It was such a joy to be part of your wedding morning at Viceroy Chicago. Knowing you felt heard, comfortable, and truly beautiful means the world to us. Romelia and Nina loved bringing your bridal hair and makeup vision to life and helping everyone in your party feel their best. We care just as much about creating a calm, relaxed getting-ready experience as we do about the finished looks, so your words are especially meaningful. We would choose you a thousand times over, too! Thank you for trusting Chicago Bridal Artists with your wedding-day hair and makeup. Wishing you both so much love and happiness!

Hair and makeup is such a stressful process for a bride because there are so many different visions! Working with Alisa was great. She listened to what I wanted, offered to use products I was comfortable with, consulted me each step so I could adjust and see how it was going, and was extremely positive and responsive. My group of 11 was a huge ask for my wedding in Michigan, with my ceremony starting at 1pm EST. She made it there promptly at the crack of dawn with her team and got everyone ready and looking beautiful. I appreciate the hard work and reliable, flexible efforts put into my wedding. Would recommend!!

Response from the owner · 3 weeks ago

Thank you so much for your kind review! We know how personal bridal hair and makeup can be, so it means so much to hear that Alisa helped you feel comfortable, listened to your vision, and kept you involved every step of the way. It was a pleasure getting you and your group of 11 ready for your Michigan wedding! We’re so glad our team’s early start and coordination helped everyone feel beautiful and ready for your ceremony. Thank you for trusting us with such a special day and for recommending us. Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness!

I was SO picky about my wedding hair and makeup and probably changed my mind 100 times. Chicago Bridal Artists were so patient with me and somehow knew exactly what I wanted even when I couldn't explain it. I wanted soft glam that still felt like me and my makeup was honestly perfect. My hair lasted all night, even after hours of dancing, and my bridesmaids were obsessed with theirs too. We had a pretty big bridal party and I was worried about everyone being ready on time, but the whole morning was so easy. The Artists came to the Peninsula Chicago, everyone was finished on schedule and there was zero stress. I'm so happy I booked them.

Response from the owner · a month ago

Thank you so much for the glowing review! We completely understand how important it is to get every detail right for your wedding day, so we’re thrilled our team could bring your soft glam makeup and bridal hair vision to life. Providing a stress-free morning for large bridal parties is always our goal, and we were so happy to deliver on-location bridal hair and makeup services for you and your bridesmaids at The Peninsula Chicago. Wishing you and your husband a lifetime of love and happiness!

A great hair and makeup team is crucial for our clients on their wedding day. Not only to look amazing, but to stay on time, to feel confident in front of the camera and to have the best possible start to their day! I have worked with Chicago Bridal Artists quite a bit over the years and recommend them to all my brides. Their work always photographs beautifully and holds up through a very long wedding day. They are reliable, run on time and are genuinely easy to work with, which matters more than people realize on wedding mornings. Exceptional, hand picked team of artists that truly care about their clients, their reputation and being the best team players. I use them personally as well and no one makes me look prettier!

Chicago Bridal Artists was incredible from start to finish. I booked them for my wedding hair and makeup in Chicago and could not have been happier. The entire process was so easy, organized and professional, and the artists were amazing. My hair and makeup looked exactly like me, just elevated, and it lasted perfectly through the entire wedding day. They also did hair and makeup for my bridal party and everyone looked beautiful without looking overdone or all the same. If you’re looking for bridal hair and makeup artists in Chicago, especially a team that can handle a larger wedding party, I cannot recommend Chicago Bridal Artists enough. Beautiful work, incredibly talented artists and such a calm, seamless experience on the wedding morning.

Response from the owner · a month ago

Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review! We're so glad Chicago Bridal Artists could be part of your wedding day. Making sure your hair and makeup looked like an elevated version of you, and that it lasted beautifully from morning to last dance, is exactly what we aim for with every bride. It also means a lot to hear that your bridal party felt beautiful and camera ready without looking overdone or cookie cutter. Giving each member of a larger wedding party a polished, personalized look while keeping the morning calm and on schedule is a big part of what we love doing as bridal hair and makeup artists in Chicago. Congratulations again on your wedding, and thank you for trusting our team with such an important day. We'd be honored to work with you or anyone in your circle for future events!

I had such a great experience with this bridal makeup team! They were professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process, which made everything leading up to the wedding feel seamless. On the wedding day, all of the makeup artists were organized, friendly, and incredibly talented. Everyone’s makeup turned out beautiful and lasted throughout the day. I couldn’t have been happier with both the planning experience and their work on the wedding day!

I had such a wonderful experience with my bridal makeup artist, Romelia! She was punctual, professional, and so much fun to have around on such an important day. She did an absolutely beautiful job on my makeup as well as each of my girls, and everyone felt so confident and beautiful. She helped make getting ready such a fun and stress-free part of the wedding day. I would highly recommend her to any bride!
