I had such an amazing experience with the bridal beauty team!! The team was responsive, professional, and easy to work with. I went in to their Chicago studio for my makeup trial. Jeanette was fantastic - she looked at my inspo pics and asked me some questions and ended up giving me the natural, soft glam look I was envisioning! The day of experience was also great. I had two artists doing make-up for ten total women. They stuck to our schedule perfectly and were very professional when one of my ladies had very specific requests for her makeup. Everyone looked gorgeous! I highly recommend!!

Mel was incredible! She reached out to me after reading what I was looking for, then helped me find a makeup artist, and was so flexible throughout the whole process. I shared my vision and she brought it to life and I received so, SO many compliments on my hair on my wedding day. When people see my pictures, they always comment on my hair immediately. My braid was stunning but she did great work on my whole bridal party; all with diverse hair styles and hair needs. I got married in August and all of our hair stayed the night even with heat and humidity. Mel is so laid back and easy to work with. I would book her all over again if I could!

I cannot remember how exactly I found Glow Bridal Co, but I remember loving how understanding Tricia was when I did not respond right away due to being so overwhelmed with wedding planning. I was happy how willing she was to do another trial if I felt was needed (although i did not end up doing another one and I was happy with how i looked on my wedding day). I had a total of 5 people for makeup & 7 people for hair, not including myself. I do not remember the exact pricing, but I felt like they were reasonably price. The most important thing is I felt beautiful with my hair and makeup. The only thing I did not like was that Tricia and Paola left the hotel the day of my wedding without checking to see if I needed anything touched up one last time. My mom and I had stepped away for a few minutes, and, when we came back, they were gone. Thankfully, I did not realize this until after my wedding day, and I think i was fine, but i do think they should have checked with me before leaving. Overall, I am happy with the service I received & would recommend them for hair & makeup

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.

Alexis was absolutely amazing!! She was our hair and makeup artist for my wedding this Saturday and when I say she KILLED it!! Aside from her AMAZING hair and makeup skills… We had a few bumps in the road so my mom and I weren’t able to make it to the venue until after my scheduled time for both hair and makeup. As you can imagine, I was definitely panicking about our ceremony starting in less than two hours from the time of my arrival. When I finally made it, I felt SO much better as I realized that Alexis made sure that all of my bridesmaids were on track as far as hair and makeup while I was gone. She completed my hair and makeup beautifully with time to spare for my mom’s hair and makeup. She even managed to squeeze in another makeup service for one of my guests. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone that I know who may be needing a hair or makeup service. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and she is so SO sweet!! I could not thank her enough for everything she helped with the morning of our wedding

Kim did absolutely incredible work, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose her for my wedding day. From the trial alone, I knew she was the one. Despite a heavy storm and me getting caught in the rain, my hair lasted flawlessly all day. On the actual day, she somehow made my hair look even better than my inspiration photos, something I honestly never thought possible. She worked so efficiently and gracefully, even in the tight space of a small hotel suite (sorry, Kim!), and had my hair finished by 11am. Before the big day we created a custom schedule for everyone, which was amazing and helped the rest of the day run smooth. The hair stayed picture perfect through the entire wedding, hours of dancing, endless hugs, and even through the after-party until 3am. The longevity and quality were beyond anything I could have hoped for. What meant the most to me, though, was how Kim cared for my maid of honor. In the months leading up to the wedding, my MOH began experiencing alopecia and was anxious about having a formal hairstyle. Kim not only reassured her with such professionalism and compassion, but also created pure magic. Her hairstyle was stunning, and you would never have known she had any hair loss at all. The confidence and beauty Kim gave her that day meant the world to both of us. She went above and beyond for everyone, exceeding every expectation. I am endlessly grateful and would recommend Kim to anyone looking for a stylist who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, thoughtful, and truly dedicated to making her clients feel beautiful.
