As an accomplished beauty artist, I have the perspective to be able to find the natural beauty in every bride and take that natural beauty & transform it to create any look. I believe every bride has uniqueness to them that should be brought out to accentuate their total beauty. My goal is to garner from every bride what it is that makes their beauty shine. Once I find that inner luminescence my goal is to bring it forward through their hair & makeup for their big day.

Loved using Beaute Luxe! Maria (the coordinator), Angelo and Amanda were simply amazing! We had them come to the hotel for a 6am - 9am Saturday makeup/hair and the timing, professionalism, and results were perfect. There was lots of communication prior to the day with Maria, and the trial allowed me to really get a good feeling that I was in the right hands with Amanda. My bridesmaids (4) thought it was a great experience. Can't recommend them enough!

Stephanie and her team were absolutely incredible! From my trial to the wedding day, she was so easy and wonderful to talk to. Her kindness, expertise, and thoughtful recommendations really shined through every step of the way. She truly knows her craft and made the whole process seamless.
On the wedding day, we had a huge bridal party (17 people!) and her team had us all finished perfectly on time—starting at 6am and wrapping by 11am. Every single person looked gorgeous and felt so confident. My makeup lasted the entire day and night (including false lashes) and the hair extensions she color-matched were spot-on and blended perfectly.
One of the sweetest moments was seeing how she worked with my grandma. My grandma had the biggest smile after her hair and makeup were done, and it’s something I’ll never forget.
I couldn’t have asked for a better team to be part of our day. Everyone looked and felt amazing, and I’m so grateful to Stephanie for making it all happen!

I worked with Stephanie on the day of my wedding and she was absolutely amazing! She was able to do hair for 10 people, by herself, and still finished ahead of schedule! I was absolutely amazing at how quickly she worked, but it was absolutely beautiful and she made sure everyone was happy with her hair before she left. She was so easy to communicate with and responded to my questions quickly and honestly. I would definitely recommend to anyone!

When reaching out to vendors for hair and makeup for my wedding I knew I wanted a one stop shop where the stylists could do both for my wedding party and moms. Maria was prompt in responding to my inquiry to confirm she was available and providing very competitive and fair pricing. I booked her and arranged my trial. Her kind and compassionate personality made me feel instantly comfortable and she was open to any feedback or changes I wanted made. Her and Brianna showed up bright and early on my wedding day to get started and made everyone look flawless. They finished ahead of schedule for a calm wedding morning. I loved her so much I continue to see Maria for regular cut and highlights at her salon in Downers Grove!

Maria is absolutely AMAZING - she made me feel SO BEAUTIFUL and wonderful on my wedding day... so much so... that I now come back to her bi-monthly for color!!! Maria is so CREATIVE... she can do ANYTHING with your hair and make it beautiful. She is especially talented at extensions and updos... I NEVER thought I'd like myself in an updo... and sure enough... I ended up with one for my wedding because my trial was so perfect! THANK YOU for everything Maria. You are a beautiful human inside and out!!

Maria and her team were wonderful! She was kind, fun, and a calming presence to have on such a hectic wedding morning. I cannot emphasize enough that the hair and makeup stayed ALL DAY despite many happy cries and lots of dancing. The makeup felt so light I barely felt like I was wearing anything. Maria really made my dream come true, perfecting the look I was going for. Highly recommend!

I honestly don't like writing reviews unless I feel it to be absolutely necessary. Maria took my lifeless, dull, breaking hair & transformed it into the shiny, healthy hair I hadn't seen in years..& just in time for my wedding day. She is truly an artist & saw what needed to be done. I am just so incredibly grateful to have met her in time. An easy 5 stars & I would recommend her services to anyone & everyone. I'm never going anywhere else again. Thank you thank you for making me the beautiful bride I always dreamed of!!! :) 💝💖🩷

It is truly a one stop shop with Maria, you need your hair done? She’s got you, Eyelash extensions? She’s got you, spray tan? She’s got you! They offer so many things for whatever type of bride you are and make you look and feel beautiful for your special day!

Having already had a trial with another stylist I was timid to book another! I had spoken to Stephanie over the phone and she wasn’t a bit worried that she would be able to achieve my desired look (Hollywood waves). On the day of my trial I was beyond impressed at how talented she is, she made it look so easy !!! The trial took about an hour and half and she definitely took her time to make sure that everything looked perfect! On the day of we did some minor tweaking (changed lip shade and darkened my eyes).All my girls looked incredible and even my mother wore a pair of lashes lol ! I highly recommend booking Beaute Luxe! They are incredible at what they do and you won’t be disappointed!

I had the pleasure of collaborating with the Beaute luxe team for my sister’s wedding. We can be perfectionists and know how we like our makeup to look. These girls were professional, personable and patient! We all looked magical that day and I wouldn’t recommend another team than these girls. I’ve recommended them to family and friends who are getting married in 2024 and wouldn’t mind paying for their glam over and over! DONT HESITATE, BOOK WITH THESE GIRLS ASAP!

Maria and her team were so wonderful!! The trial was so fun, and Maria made sure to make all the changes to be sure that the look was exactly right. The morning of the wedding, everyone was on time, and it remained a low stress morning! The two moms were a little hesitant with getting "glammed" but the staff made them look STUNNING and my mother in law was having so much fun with the lashes! The looks stayed even through a full night of dancing in the summer. Thank you for sharing your talents and professionalism!

Maria has been the sweetest and most accommodating individual throughout this rough year we have had with planning due to COVID-19! She has made everything so much smoother than I could have imagined. We had to reschedule our wedding date from May 30 to September 26. Maria had made herself available to us and any additional services we requested. The end result was simply breath taking! I felt so beautiful on my special day! I couldn’t have asked for a better beauty squad on my wedding day! If you’re looking to book someone for your beauty services on any occasion, this is the team you’re looking for! Please contact Maria ASAP! Absolutely delighted!

ABOVE AND BEYOND! Maria and her team are WONDERFUL! She is so talented, kinda, professional and a hard ass worker. My two year engagement turned into a year two relationship with Maria and she stuck by my side through it all. I had to reschedule, change locations, change counts, change times and she always accommodated with a smile. Maria is so sweet and truly cares for her clients- she made my day beautiful as ever. I have to admit I was a pain in the butt at times but she never let me think that :) This chick and her team deserve awards- my hair and makeup were flawless and exactly as we trialed it. She is the best and if you don’t go with her- you’ll regret it! CHEERS MARIA !

If you are looking for an amazing team who will pamper and treat you like the queen you are, look no further! Maria and her team at Beaute Luxe are incredibly talented, caring, professional and passionate women whose #1 goal is to make sure you feel like the most beautiful and stunning bride. When I first reached out to Maria, she was so caring and genuinely was interested in learning more about myself and dream wedding. Because of COVID, we ended up having a smaller intimate wedding, and Maria was super flexible, understanding and accommodating. With extra precautions, she made sure I still had my wedding hair and makeup trial and also did hair and makeup for my mom, madrinas, and bridesmaids on the day of my wedding. Our wedding was outdoors, and despite the weather, our hair and makeup lasted all day. Maria is truly an amazing women, and I am so grateful to have worked with her and her team.

As someone who does not normally put on a lot of make-up, if any at all, I was a little hesitant to have my make-up done for my wedding because I really wanted to look natural and look like “myself.” However, I was so happy that I did because Maria was amazing. My make-up looked very natural, but enhanced, and it stayed all day long! My hair was exactly how I wanted it to be, and I still cannot believe how great both hair and make-up look in all my pictures.
Throughout the whole process, Maria was a pleasure to work with. Not only was she professional, but she was so friendly and caring as well. I always felt like it was her number one goal to do what she could to make my wedding day a perfect day. She was a blast to work with at the trial, and even more fun on the morning of my wedding. I felt so at ease and well-cared for as we were getting ready that morning. It was a great way to start off my wedding day!
My mother, mother-in-law, 3 bridesmaids, and I were all finished and looking gorgeous ahead of schedule, with plenty of time to get to the venue and relax. Maria says that it makes her happy to see brides happy, and I truly believe that is a genuine sentiment. She is professional, caring, and talented, and she will make sure that you feel beautiful and special on the day of your wedding.

Maria is an absolute saint and the best hair stylist that I've ever met. She did such a phenomenal job for my wedding and I'm so glad that I chose her. I knew from the first phone conversation that I had with her that she was the one that needed to hire. I'm so glad that I picked Maria to do our hair for my wedding. Maria is one of the sweetest people that I know- I such a fun time with her during both the trial and the wedding because she brings such a positive and outgoing energy into her work. For my wedding, Maria completed up-dos for myself, my 6 bridesmaids, my mom, and my MIL and every single one of us looked amazing! Both myself and my mom have very thin and fine hair but Maria was still able to work wonders for us. I can't thank her enough for making me feel and look so beautiful on my wedding day!

Maria and her team were amazing! We had 14 people to have hair and makeup done and I was extremely nervous about getting everyone done in time. Maria brought 3 other people with her and managed to get everyone done in 4.5 hours. It was amazing. Not only did everyone compliment how efficient Maria and her team were, but the quality of the hair and make up was outstanding. I'm so glad I picked Beaute Luxe for my wedding, I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Maria was a great pick for my wedding! She is an incredibly positive person and was a great energy to have around on the wedding day. She and her assistant listened to each of my bridesmaids to give them unique looks that fit each of them. My makeup looked good all day, even when we were wandering around in the heat to take photos. I was very happy with how everything turned out, and would recommend Beaute Luxe to anyone!

Maria did such an amazing job on my hair and makeup on my wedding day in Lake Forest (8/11/19) that I was blown away and my husband couldn't stop smiling at me all day! Maria is one of the NICEST vendors I have ever worked with and she definitely made me feel like a princess that day. Not only did she do a hair and makeup trial for me a couple months before the big day, but she also did a 2nd hair trial when my hair extensions came in so that she could help me see what I envisioned for my half-up, half-down look. Also, her hair and makeup team did an amazing job on my bridesmaids as well, and they all came on-site to our bridal suite. I would highly recommend Maria and her team!
