Beauty Collective

t everything running smoothly from start to finish, and when she was done, she packed up like a total professional. The results? Flawless. I received so many compliments on my hair, and my bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning as well. Melissa nailed every single style, making sure each one suited the person wearing it. She’s not just talented — she’s reliable and clearly loves what she does. If you want someone who will show up, get it done beautifully, and make you feel amazing on your wedding day, Melissa is it.

ommunicate with them about timeline and trials. I loved how Ashley did my makeup and my bridal party too, our makeup & lashes lasted the whole night. Ashley especially did a great job with my mom’s makeup as she is not someone who usually wears more than mascara - it was just enough for her to feel special but still comfortable. It also helped that we were able to have my mom do both a hair and makeup trial herself. I would recommend that whoever is getting makeup done to bring whatever lip color you’d like - Ashley has a ton of lip colors in her kit but for touch up purposes I think it was easier to have my own lipstick. Brianna did a great job with a variety of hair styles and lengths and listened to what everyone wanted and was able to provide exactly that. I would recommend The Beauty Collective, and specifically Ashley & Brianna for anyone’s wedding!

e transparent pricing packages and flexible options. Melissa was extremely attentive and responsive. Bri made me feel like such a princess for my trial and on the day of. She was so fun and easy to be around. I felt like a friend was doing my hair! My hair held the entire day and even the next day. I highly recommend.

easy to work with. My makeup artist Chelsea did such an incredible job on myself and all my girls. I am not a makeup girlie at all but she made me look natural and glam all at the same time. Brianna perfected every look that my bridesmaids had requested and our hair stayed all day even in the wind! They were also such a pleasure to have in the bridal suite the morning of the wedding. I highly recommend them.

o well and stayed on all night! Melissa the owner was really easy to work with and she scheduled my appointments just how I needed them. They are very organized and professional, I felt confident trusting them with my beauty needs!

eauty Collective was the easiest of my vendors to communicate/work with. I wanted something a bit different than typical bridal hair for my day and Melissa was more than game to make it work. She was also really great with all of my bridesmaids/my mom on the day of the wedding. Everyone was really happy with their hair and it lasted the entire night!! Highly, highly recommend Beauty Collective's hair services!!

t so calm and seamless for everyone and they were all so professional. We never felt rushed by them and they were able to do exactly what everyone asked for. It is rare when you have 15 girls all love their hair and makeup when it is done professionally for a wedding but everyone truly did. We all got so many compliments. Rachel did my makeup and Taylor did my hair. Both came out better than I ever imagined. Thank you Beauty Collective team!

tly as I was picturing. Melissa was so easy to work with to schedule the trial and last minute changes to the getting ready schedule. I also got a spray tan at the salon, which I had never gotten before and it turned out so natural. Highly recommend the beauty collective!!!

keep away the frizz for my wedding day. Melissa beyond delivered and was so patient and helpful throughout my ma t hair trials and helping me decide on a style. Her and her team were so quick and effect day of and we finished ahead of schedule. Thank you!!!

ompliments and she made me feel so confident on my wedding day! She is efficient, professional and knowledgable about both updos and down styles and everyone was happy with their styles.

fell in love with! On the day of the wedding, she was so efficient we actually got done early! Leaving me and my bridesmaids with time to relax and enjoy our lunch before getting into our dresses. Everyone's hair was stunning, and lasted through the entire (very windy) day! I cannot recommend Melissa and Beauty Collective enough!

. They each listened to our requests and followed through with a beautiful job. I would love to highlight a few ways they each went above and beyond. Sam R applied false eyelashes using adhesive I brought for sensitive eyes. She was also willing to learn and try other products I bought to our trial and was very reassuring to me that we would figure out a solution for the false lashes with sensitive eyes- I had no issues with my sensitive eyes all night! Sammy D was able to make an adjustment from my trial hair on the wedding day, and nailed it on the first shot! She also beautifully placed baby's breath within my hair. Melissa was great to work with and very professional, I highly recommend the Beauty Collective!

work with. She was responsive, flexible, answered any questions I had with such care and was so insightful and knowledgeable when it came to timelines and making everything run smoothly leading up to the day of. She was also so helpful when it came to working around my schedule for setting up my makeup and hair trials since I live in Chicago and had to travel into town to make things work. Not only was she a treat to work with leading up to our wedding but on the day of she made everyone feel so beautiful! Her demeanor and approach to not only organizing the day but also her actual work when it came to makeup was so effortlessly calming! I can't say enough about both her and her entire team! Thank you for everything!!! <3

id great attention to detail, and I could not have been happier with how my hair came out.

to photograph well all night long. All my bridesmaids plus my mom and MIL also looked incredible. People continue to see my wedding photos and ask me how it held so well and I just say “Melissa”.

xtremely helpful throughout the planning process and created a detailed timeline for all the girls getting their hair done that morning. She was so fun to have with us all morning getting ready, and I cannot recommend booking her enough.

as really easy and great to work with. I had Jami as my hair stylist and Ashley as my make up artist. Between the trial and my wedding I changed my mind about my look and both were great about the day of change. Jami did not only my hair but my five bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law. Everyone looked great and their hair lasted all night. Ashley did an amazing job on my makeup - I went for a very natural look and it was perfect! She also did one of my bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law - everyone looked amazing. I would highly recommend working with this team. It was one of the easiest parts of wedding planning because everyone was so great to work with.

ging my look and knew exactly what I wanted, even though I had a hard time explaining it! All of my bridesmaids hair came out beautiful as well. Leading up to the wedding, Melissa was very responsive with all of my questions and made sure that everyone would be ready based off of my timeline.

e. I worked with Samantha for both my hair and make up on my wedding day. I'd never had professional make up done before and was nervous, but she exceeded my expectations for both my trial and wedding day. It was a pleasure working with Melissa and Samantha both and will definitely recommend to others!

each one! From an edgy chic pony tail to a French ballerina look... The team is beyond professional, personal and I enjoyed my 6am coffee chatting with the girls. My bridesmaids were obsessed. One who has difficult hair said she never has felt so beautiful or looked more confident.... in her... LIFE. Bravo!!! If you don't hire them you are making a mistake.

d calm and it was exactly what I needed the morning of such an emotion filled day. My hair looked flawless throughout my wedding and made it through two after parties! Jami helped me with my veil and provided touch ups as needed until the moment I left for the church. Thank you so much, Jami! Melissa helped coordinate everything from start to finish and it couldn’t have been a more seamless process. Melissa was very reliable and responsive. Thank you, Beauty Collective!

wears a lot of make-up or does anything with my hair other than a messy bun. When I first connected with Melissa and Kristen for my hair and make-up trial, they made me feel at ease that my make-up and hair will just be an extension of ME. I left the hair/make-up trial feeling great and excited for my wedding day. In the morning, Melissa and her team showed up to my parent's house with everything and set up shop- it felt like we were in the Beauty Collective Studio. They had such a rhythm and schedule that any stress I had about our short time-line went out the window. They did hair and makeup on 9 girls in about 3 hours! The personalized touch and attention to detail made everyone get up from the chairs feeling their absolute best! That morning, I asked Melissa if she could change my hair slightly from the wedding trial, and she was able to make those changes no problem. I was so calm all morning, and it truly was because of the amazing Beauty Collective Team! Again, I cannot recommend the Beauty Collective Team more! Not only are they so professional and talented, they are kind and just great people! I cannot think of anyone else I’d want with me on the wedding morning. Thank you Melissa Scott and the whole Beauty Collective Team!! xoxox, Jenni Freehling

ive bridesmaids, two moms, and the bride - after they were done with us, everybody looked and felt gorgeous! The planning process was very easy. Melissa answered all of my questions over phone and email and we were able to figure out a plan that worked with the timing of the day. When I visited the salon for my trial, I worked with Melissa and Kristen to identify a couple of options based on my vision, dress, and the accessories I wanted to wear. On the day of the wedding, the team stuck to the schedule and got everybody’s hair and makeup done very efficiently. They arrived at the venue with all their supplies on time, and I was never stressed that we weren’t going to be done in time for photos - it was all a very relaxed and fun atmosphere! Melissa, Kristen, and Lauren worked with each person to figure out what they wanted for their hair and makeup and executed exactly what each person wanted. The looks photographed super well and lasted through a day and night of drinking and dancing in the late summer heat. My naturally curly hair did not frizz, even though it was quite humid outside! All in all, we had an awesome experience with the Beauty Collective team and would highly, highly recommend them to anybody planning their wedding!

I met with Melissa the first time. She was so open to all of my ideas, never pushy- informative and gave me all of my options before letting me choose. We added extensions- something I've never done before- and she never made me feel like any question was silly. On wedding day - every single one of my bridesmaids LOVED their hair - a rarity - and they all looked unique and like themselves. I changed the style I wanted a few times & only finalized the week before the wedding- Melissa was flexible, kind and made sure I didn't have a hair out of place. Could not recommend more. She was lovely in every way.

deal for a wedding morning. Highly recommend Crystal and the Beauty Collective!

versus reality. However, I can’t stress enough how she took my hair to the next level. In addition, Rachel did my bridal makeup. I’m not someone who wears a lot of makeup on a daily basis and Rachel did a great job of giving me the perfect level of glam. Both team members did a great job of talking with me during the trial and made sure the vision I wanted was achieved (hair/makeup trial is a must). And even checked in with me after the trial for any notes or feedback on what to change for the day of the wedding. I highly recommend the Beauty Collective team for your next wedding or any occasion. Bottom line, Melissa and Rachel made me feel beautiful and confident for my wedding day.
