Makeup By Jacquee

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Great Lakes, IL

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.

Picking a makeup artist was one of the things I was most worried about but Jacquee and her team did a phenomenal job working with my entire party! The girls all looked beautiful, my mom was stunning, and I felt like a more beautiful, polished version of myself (which was exactly what I wanted). I couldn't be happier with the results! Thanks Jacquee!!

5 Stars isn't enough for One Salon and Bridal Co. Michelle (make-up) and Rochelle (hair) were my artists and they are incredible. They take the time to get to know you, are genuinely interested in your personal color scheme, and then work their magic. Both my hair and make-up withstood the day and night. Their prices are also very reasonable. If you're recently engaged and shopping around for hair/make-up for you and your party (or even for engagement photos), book these ladies immediately. You will be thrilled.

Danielle was super thorough from inquiry to the last moments of getting ready on wedding day. She took her time during our trial to fully understand what I was looking for and made sure that the end result was satisfactory. She also went above and beyond past trial to make sure that I was still happy with the results and fully prepared for the big day. I also appreciated the extra steps to make sure that every single person was taken care of and not just the bride! i.elle made sure they understood what my bridesmaids/mothers expected ahead of time and this made for a very smooth process for everyone! I had in total 11 people that used their services and every single person was happy with their result. The i.elle crew was fun, easy to work with, and brought the best vibes to our morning. If you're looking for a talented group and an overall non-stressful process, they are the perfect fit!

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. Amy (makeup), Milian (hair) and Brenda (hair/makeup) were so kind and professional while doing hair/makeup for myself, my mother, my two grandmothers, my mother-in-law, and my two maids-of-honor. They kept us on schedule, but were flexible when someone was running behind or needed to take a break. Their energy was fun, warm, and relaxing, which helped to really set the tone for the day. Everyone was saying how the morning of the wedding felt almost like a spa experience – it was that relaxing! We all looked beautiful, seriously. And we all felt like *ourselves*, which was a top priority for us. I remarked to my husband that I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life on my wedding day – and I don't know if I'll ever feel more gorgeous! So much of that is attributed to the hair and makeup services I received from BBBB. I felt so confident heading into our wedding day. Not once did I feel preoccupied about my appearance, because the artists crushed it. Thank you BBBB crew for making such a special, cherished day all the more magical.

She always responded back to me pretty much right away (even if I sent her a message or inquiry at random hours of the day or on the weekend).
