Makeup By Jacquee

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Gurnee, 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.

Jacquee was AMAZING to work with! She completely understood the vibe I was going for with my look and my mom's and bridesmaids' looks. She really listens and takes into account what her clients are asking for and their inspiration points. The morning of the wedding she and her assistant artist arrived exactly on time and they were both relaxed and friendly as they worked their magic. They made the morning run so smoothly. We all felt absolutely beautiful, and our hair and makeup LASTED through the entire evening. Could not have been more pleased!!

ielle Beauty

  • Team of 5
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Gurnee, IL

The i·elle beauty team has 10+ years of experience in the bridal industry. It was founded in 2016 by AJ and Danielle as a duo. They now have a partnership with Macy, who is officially a co-owner. Specializing in bridal events, i·elle travels all around the Chicagoland and Nashville area to provide hair and makeup services.

I would absolutely recommend i.elle Beauty for your wedding day needs! They are extremely professional and amazing to work with. 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 used One Salon & Bridal for my wedding day hair and make up for me and 15 others! Everybody at One Salon & Bridal was extremely helpful and communicative!! From day 1, I felt like I was in good hands for my wedding hair and make up. The team was willing to make things work - however I needed them to work! For example, we didn't know at first if we would get ready at the salon or my venue but I was able to talk things out with Michelle and we came up with an action plan to get everybody ready in time! I was able to have a few of our close family members get hair and make up done with us, because the salon had all hands on deck for my wedding day! It was great working with everybody and I am so thankful for how easy they made this process! My hair and make up held up ALL night long and I felt so beautiful!! Thank you all :)

Kiss This Makeup

  • Team of 85
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Gurnee, IL

At Kiss This Makeup, we believe in the transformative power of beauty. Whether you’re preparing for your wedding day or a special occasion, our goal is to enhance your natural beauty and create a look that reflects your unique style and personality. From timeless classics to modern trends, our talented and passionate beauticians are here to bring your vision to life. We offer makeup artistry, hair styling, and beauty assistance with a specialized team for all special events covering South & Central Florida, Dallas, along with Chicago and surrounding suburbs.

Kiss This Makeup did a WONDERFUL job with my wedding hair and makeup, as well as hair and makeup for my wedding party. I have very fine, straight hair that has a difficult time holding a curl, but Jenna Marie was so open-minded and willing to work with me on finding solutions that would work well for me. My hair help up for the entire wedding (including through Hurricane Helene!!) and was so beautiful. I was unsure what I was looking for as my hairstyle, but Jenna helped me narrow down my options and advised based on my face shape, dress, and overall vibe of the wedding. My makeup was so beautiful, and didn't irritate my sensitive skin at all and left me with no breakouts! It lasted the entire day and looks beautiful in my photographs. Jenna and Nicole also did the hair and makeup of my wedding party, and everyone was in love with their looks, and looked great the whole day. KTM was very flexible when I last minute had a family member ask if they could get their makeup done, and the team was able to adjust the schedule to accommodate her. Additionally, we have many LGBTQ members of our wedding party, and KTM was nothing but lovely and welcoming to all. They really went above and beyond, and I have never felt so beautiful in my whole life. I will never forget how special and stunning KTM made me feel for the entire getting-ready process, and how well-organized they were, which left me feeling no stress about how the getting-ready part of the day would go, and also feeling confident that everyone would look great throughout the entire event. I would highly recommend Kiss This Makeup to anyone who is looking for the best service and stunning results for their wedding or any event. Much love!!

Hi! I’m Alyssa, and I started my company out of my love for makeup. Cliché, I know. I grew up dancing and always had to have a full face of makeup.

It is such an honor to be a part of someone’s special day. It truly fills my heart, and I look forward to building ongoing relationships with every one of my clients.

Erin and her girls were amazing from the moment I first reached out. Erin was always quick to respond and was super helpful with the entire planning process. Before my trial, Erin had looked up my social media so she already knew my vibe (simple and elegant). I showed her a few pictures and she had great ideas for the hairstyle. She helped me find the perfect hairpiece that made me confident I didn't want a veil. A few weeks before our wedding, we realized we were going to have a time crunch and within a few hours (late on a Monday evening), Erin added two girls to help so we wouldn't be stressed for time. Cassie did all of our hair and my make up. She was fast, efficient and very down to earth. Micaela helped with pre curls and she already seemed like she was a pro. Kylie did makeup for my bridesmaids and they all looked gorgeous. I cannot say enough great things about Erin & her crew. You won't regret booking with them.

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). I was indecisive about how I wanted my hair so on the day of my wedding I completely changed it compared to how we did it at my trial.

Awarded Best of Zola
Initially I was going to do my own hair. A crazy stupid idea I now realize. At the last minute I decided to browse through Zola to find a vendor and Kaedi popped up. She was responsive and uber-easy to work with. My hair trial at her salon was probably the least stressful part of wedding planning. I didn’t have any particular idea in mind but she put me at ease and we tried an all over curl before deciding on a stunning updo. Even with “not-quite” shoulder length hair she pulled it together and it came out STUNNING. It stayed in place all day and I would definitely work with Kaedi again! Also, doing separate vendors for hair and makeup gave me such a custom and unique look and I’m really happy I did it this way.

My wife and I hired Kimberly for our wedding day, and we were so happy with the way it turned out! Within the first message with her we knew we liked her, she is personable, punctual, and funny. We enjoyed every conversation we had with her and even felt like we had made a new friend from her! We had a vague idea of the hair styles we wanted for the wedding and sent her 2 pictures and she immediately had a vision for us. We did a trial with her and absolutely loved what she came up with! On our wedding day we loved our hair even more than the first time! Both of our hair had tremendous hold and never gave out all night! Kimberly is a joy to talk to and get to know and you’d be lucky to work with her!!
