Awarded Best of Zola
We are so grateful to have had "Hairs 2 the Bride" for our wedding on September 21, 2024! From start to finish, they were fantastic. I went to a hair and makeup trial before the wedding, and both Eva and Maria were incredibly warm, friendly, and professional. They took the time to really listen to what I was looking for and made sure everything was perfect. I felt so comfortable with them, and they made the trial fun and relaxing. On the wedding day, we decided to add Natalia to the team after discussing with the owner, and it turned out to be the best decision. Having an additional stylist really helped speed up the process, and everything ran so smoothly as a result. They brought everything they needed, including lighting, and set up in no time. They were punctual, organized, and ready to get started as soon as we arrived at the venue. Throughout the morning, Eva, Maria, and Natalia were a joy to be around. They kept the whole group on time without making it feel rushed, which was such a relief with all the wedding-day chaos. They were also fun to talk to and kept the mood light, which made the getting-ready process so enjoyable. I had a bit of a rash on my shoulder that day, and I was really concerned about it. But the team worked their magic and expertly covered it – I couldn’t even tell it was there! They also added on makeup services for my mother-in-law at the last minute, which was so thoughtful. My mother-in-law was absolutely thrilled with how she looked and felt so special. In the end, I felt absolutely stunning on my wedding day, and I have "Hairs 2 the Bride" to thank for that. They made me, my bridal party, and my family look and feel beautiful. I can’t recommend them enough – they’re not just talented professionals, but they genuinely care about making your day perfect!

From the first time meeting her at the trial, she put me at ease, listened to my wants and don’t wants , and completely nailed the vision I had with little inspo pictures to go from in terms of my makeup. I was very particular about my eyebrows and she worked her magic and they never looked better ! Hazel was such a good sport during a hectic wedding morning. I was told by other hairstylist the look I wanted for my hair couldn’t be done due to the heaviness and surplus of hair I have , but she KILLED IT !!!! She is kind, funny and so very talented! 20/10!

I can’t say enough good things about Mandie and her airbrush tanning! Every single time I get sprayed, my tan lasts over a week, and sometimes it even stretches to two weeks, which is amazing. Not only is Mandie incredibly talented and on top of her game, but she also goes the extra mile to make sure you’re comfortable throughout the entire process. She provides foot stickies, a hair net, lotion, and even finishes with baby powder so you feel fresh and not sticky. Attached is a picture of me and Mandie after a fresh spray! I’m on the left. After every tan, I get tons of compliments on my skin and skin tone—people always ask if I’ve been on vacation! I feel so confident and beautiful when I’m bronzed. Plus, the convenience is unbeatable—whether I go to her or she comes to me, it’s always such a smooth and easy experience. Mandie is hands down the best airbrush artist I’ve ever been to!

The trial session was a wonderful experience where I could see her and Heather's skills firsthand. They were patient, attentive, and open to feedback, ensuring that every detail was perfect. I really appreciated the fact I could get both my makeup and hair done with the same company, and that my trial was included in the overall price! On the wedding day, Rachel and Heather worked their magic. Their attention to detail were evident. The makeup was flawless without feeling heavy or overdone, my bridesmaids and my mom and now husband's mom all decided to try lashes for the first time :). The hairstyles were elegant and held up beautifully throughout the day, despite hours of dancing and celebrating. Each look was personalized and perfectly suited to each member of the bridal party. The team arrived on time and prepared, which made the morning of our wedding stress-free and enjoyable. They managed their time efficiently, ensuring everyone was ready well before the ceremony. Their calm and friendly demeanor helped ease any pre-wedding jitters, creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere. We couldn’t have asked for a better hair and makeup team for our wedding.

Hi there! I’m Jacquee. I am a licensed esthetician and freelance makeup artist. I was trained in makeup artistry and hair design at Make Up First in Chicago. My esthetics training was completed at the Universal Spa Training Academy in Downers Grove. So now that we’ve got that out of the way let’s talk about what I can help you with! I’m well versed in all areas of makeup from beauty and bridal to commercial, theatrical, and even special effects. I’m just as comfortable working on a film set as I am working with my brides. I enjoy making people feel good about themselves and I put my all into everything I do.

Jacquee did a remarkable job on my wedding hair and makeup, as well as the hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and mother. Starting with the consultation/run-through, it was clear that Jacquee was a professional. Even though I didn’t have a solid sense of what I wanted, she listened to what I liked and executed to perfection. In fact, the morning of my wedding I felt very sick to my stomach and had only gotten two hours of sleep the night before. I had some VERY dark circles under my eyes and was worried that I had ruined my chances of looking beautiful on my wedding day. Jacquee was unfazed and was able to make me look just as fantastic as I hoped. She gave all of us little touch-up kits which were super handy throughout the day and my hair and makeup looked great all night. I find myself trying to come up with reasons to get my makeup done by Jacquee again just so I can feel that gorgeous! I highly recommend Jacquee for your hair and makeup needs!

    About wedding beauty professionals

    How much does hair and makeup cost for a wedding?

    According to Thumbtack, wedding makeup artists cost $90–$475 per person on average in 2022. Here at Zola, we recommend putting aside around $300 for your own wedding hair and makeup. Services for wedding party members are generally less expensive, as the artist or stylist will spend less time perfecting the look. Be sure to have a transparent conversation with your wedding party if you expect them to cover their own costs.

    How long does wedding hair and makeup take to do?

    The more involved the look, the more time it will take. In general, allocate 60–90 minutes for your own looks and 30–45 minutes for each member of the wedding party. Extensions, extra thick hair, and intricate makeup all take longer. Communicating who (with pictures and descriptions) is getting what (again, with photos) to your stylists will help them plan an accurate timeline.

    Who usually pays for hair and makeup for the wedding party?

    Traditionally, whoever is asking for the services should pay. However, this may not be in the budget for every couple. If you’re planning on having your wedding party pay, be transparent when you first ask them to be in the wedding party itself. Then, they can choose whether it’s possible for them to participate.

    How much should we tip for our wedding hair and makeup artists?

    A good rule of thumb is to tip 15–20%.
