I had such a wonderful experience working with Joanna for my wedding! She was so sweet, kind, and talented, and she made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. She did an amazing job with my hair and paid attention to all the little details to make sure everything looked beautiful. She was also so warm and personable, which made getting ready on my wedding day even more special. I’m so grateful to have had her be a part of my wedding celebrations and would absolutely recommend her to any bride looking for a talented and lovely hairstylist!

Joanna is nothing short of professional, friendly and extremely talented. I wanted a very specific elaborate hairstyle for my wedding day with super long and thick extensions and she brought the vision completely to fruition! My mother also wanted a soft glam look and a voluminous hairstyle that Joanna did a beautiful job on. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone’s special event as she is wonderful at what she does. 10/10!

I truly cannot recommend Joanna enough! From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, punctual, kind, sweet, and patient. Most importantly, she absolutely executes. I had ...

my heart set on classic Hollywood waves for my wedding day, and Joanna not only brought my vision to life, she exceeded every expectation I had. She also has an amazing program that allows you to rent hair extensions directly from her, which made the entire process so easy. My hair looked elegant, classic, and beautiful, but what impressed me just as much was how incredibly well it lasted. Joanna did my hair at 7am and I was out celebrating until 4:30 at my after-party. I put my hair through the ringer - dancing, jumping around, swinging my hair, and even wearing a bandana/headband - and somehow it STILL looked amazing at the end of the night! Joanna made me feel like the most beautiful bride on one of the most important days of my life. She is incredibly talented, dependable, and genuinely wonderful to work with. I could not have been happier with my hair, and I would recommend her to any bride without hesitation. Thank you, Joanna, for making me feel so beautiful!

wedding day—completely effortless and stress-free. Joanna was always in contact with me and responded so quickly to any questions or changes I wanted to make. She truly went above and beyond to make my day so special that I honestly wanted her to stay and celebrate with us! I had my trial hair and makeup done with her, and she showed up right on time and brought my inspiration to life. After my trial, I decided to go in a completely different direction with both my hair and makeup because of some changes to my dress. Joanna was so supportive and encouraging of all my new inspiration photos and never made me feel like I was being difficult or changing my mind too much. I have genuinely never felt more beautiful in my life. Beyond her incredible talent, Joanna is so easy to work with and such a wonderful person to have around on such an important and emotional day. She even stayed after she finished my hair and makeup to help me get into my wedding dress! It was such a thoughtful gesture and just another example of how she went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. I have several friends getting married this year, and I have already recommended Joanna to all of them! She is truly so special, and out of all the stressors that come with wedding planning, I can honestly say that my hair and makeup were never one of them. Thank you so much, Joanna! I can’t wait until I have another reason to book you. I’m so grateful for you and everything you did to make me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! 🤍

ure that out! On my wedding day, she made a few adjustments from the trial and absolutely nailed my vision. My hair and makeup were exactly what I had hoped for, and I felt so beautiful and confident all day. Beyond her talent, she brought such a positive, calming energy to the entire morning. She helped create a relaxed, fun atmosphere while we were getting ready, which made such a difference on what could’ve been a very anxious morning. She also brought a few assistants with her so our entire bridal party was able to get hair and makeup done efficiently without anyone feeling rushed. She crafted a timeline to ensure we could fit everyone in and it went so smoothly. A lot of the girls wanted makeup that was more natural and they nailed it! I truly can’t recommend her enough. Not only is she incredibly skilled, but she’s also kind, professional, organized, and someone you genuinely want by your side on your wedding day. I’m so thankful for Joanna and her team that made my bridal party and I feel amazing and helped make my wedding morning everything I hoped it would be!

reliable. I had a fairly large bridal party and even added a few services after our initial meeting and she was more than willing to help accommodate. Everyones hair and makeup looked flawless and lasted all night long, she truly is a master of her craft. Myself and all members of my wedding party were impressed by her attention to detail, her talent, and the efficiency of her and her team. The additional hair/makeup artists she brought with her were also exceptional and so talented. We all felt so pampered! It was one of the best decisions I made hiring her for her services and would recommend her to anyone who asks! And will continue to book with her in the future if I am in need of professional hair/makeup services.

rough the day of. We live in Chicago so didn’t get to do a trial, so she showed me along the way so I could provide feedback. While I had a decent amount of makeup on and she put my hair extensions in, I still looked like myself, which was super important to me. I loved how it looked in photographs too. She also did my mom’s makeup and it looked amazing! I’d highly recommend Joanna for your special day!
