I reached out to Joanna on a whim to do my hair and makeup for my bridal shower. She got back to me very quickly and was able to squeeze me in. I’m SO glad she was available becaus...
e her work was flawless and I received compliments all day long. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. I’m so bummed she’s not available for my actual wedding day but whoever has her for their wedding that date is extremely lucky :)

Highly recommend Joanna for wedding hair and makeup!!!!!
We did a trial beforehand, which ended up being super helpful. I was unsure exactly what I wanted and Joanna helped me fig...
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!
Any questions?

I booked Joanna for hair and makeup for my wedding and I am beyond impressed with her work! Not only is she quick to respond and professional, she is incredibly kind, flexible, and...
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!

how well my makeup is staying on! I went to eat some ramen immediately after the trial, and the makeup didn’t budge, even when I had constant steam in my face. I highly recommend Joanna and hope that I have the privilege of her service again!
