Bella Bridal Beauty

em for your wedding or special events!

. The team was communicative, kind and talented and I would recommend them to any of my engaged friends getting married in the Chicagoland area.

for her wedding next year! Great job Bella Bridal

made excellent adjustments when I mentioned that I had some pain due to tightness later in the day after my trial. Alexis did great in the trial and I was happy with my makeup then but then on my wedding day the makeup was EVEN BETTER. I was soooo pleased with everything and my bridal party who had services done were happy too! My two minor complaints were that their communication can be a bit wonky because the email auto replies for every single email you send which gets a little annoying but I understand why they do that they probably get a lot of messages. And secondly they changed my makeup artist a week and half before the wedding which brought on some serious stress. Luckily Alexis was incredible and my makeup literally could not have been better but the last minute change was not ideal but they certainly delivered!

(makeup) did an AMAZING job with all of our glam- we're not girls who typically get all made up so Marie and Stephanie did a great job explaining every step, answering our questions, and being patient with us. They arrived right on time and even finished ahead of schedule- giving us a much needed break before the "I do's"! I have already recommended Bella Bridal Beauty to so many of my friends and I can't recommend this team enough- they made me feel my most beautiful and confident self! Book with Bella Bridal Beauty!!

stylist made us all look so beautiful and my make up stayed all day and night!

as about 20 minutes late, throwing things off from the start. I reminded the hair and makeup artist that we needed to leave at a specific time, and they should have been aware because their admin is the one that sent me the schedule. They recommend not putting specific girls in time slots, but I fully think that would have made the process more smooth. Hair and makeup went over time. Makeup went an extra HOUR AND A HALF longer than it should have. None of my girls received touch ups, as promised. My own mother and bridesmaids were late to the venue due to the makeup artist being so behind. My mom missed helping me put on my dress, I missed photo opportunities with my girls before we got dressed, etc. My plan was to get all of our family and bridal party photos out of the way before the ceremony so that we all could enjoy our cocktail hour. This couldn’t happen. I didn’t even receive an apology from the artist. During the makeup artist doing my makeup, she told me she actually no longer works for Bella bridal, but still wanted to do my wedding. I was notified that she was actually fired that week. Why would they send an artist that did not meet bell bridal beauty standards? After a few days of trying to get ahold of someone, I was finally able to reach the admin assistant, Allie, and explain to her what happened. I asked her to pass this information to the owner, because this is a serious issue that needed to be addressed. I still have not received a phone call or text or email from the owner. It was a disappointing experience all around.

e shop is always very fun! Bella bridal is very transparent with their pricing and organized with their planning, which is a huge relief for an overthinker like me. Definitely consider them for any big event!!

- EXACTLY the glam I was hoping for, and all my bridesmaids looked absolutely beautiful. My wedding was my second time working with Bella- they also did my matron of honor’s wedding a few years ago, and after having worked with them twice now, I can wholeheartedly say that I recommend their services! Thank you so much Renee and Danielle! ❤️ warm regards, the new Mrs. Wallace

ough the day and night, and they were perfectly on time!

y hair + makeup vision to life and cannot recommend them enough! I love that there is a trial before your actual wedding date, it really helps to see everything in person before the actual day. Thank you SO MUCH Renee!!!!!

made me look beautiful, but they made me feel beautiful. Which is something I wanted all my bridesmaids to experience and feel as well. I also have to mention how grateful I am for the level of professionalism they hold themselves to. We didn’t feel rushed, or overwhelmed in the least because of their thorough timeline, and dedication to keeping to perfect time. The communication from beginning to end was seamless and made me feel confident in their services and I knew they were going to provide a wonderful experience for my wedding day. A bonus-Renee and Jazmin are your ultimate hype women, they are both so fun, and full of positive energy, which is great to have on your wedding day while getting ready. I highly recommend Bella Bridal Beauty for your wedding!

a delight to hang out with. I'm very glad they were part of our special day!

their services again for future events!

so looked and felt beautiful

s mom and grandma. My hair and make up turned out even better than I imagined! Highly recommend!

of your hair and makeup needs.

irls needed minor changes to their hair & makeup after they were done, and they made the changes with no problem! From the first inquiry until the wedding day, Bella Bridal Beauty was great at communication and made all of us feel comfortable and confident!

and two moms that needed services done, the girls finished on time and everyone looked beautiful and not rushed. They are also so much fun, we were singing along to the playlist and chatting all morning. They felt like part of the gang not like typical snotty makeup artists. Everyone looked beautiful for the whole night not one eyelash or curl out of place even after tearing it up on the dance floor. I love these girls!

amazingly responsive with incorporating changes into our hair and make-up as we ‘wore’ the styles throughout the day and determined what we wanted to tweak. On the wedding day, we had two separate teams at two locations working on hair and makeup simultaneously to create the most relaxed and efficient getting ready flow possible. Our artists arrived on time, prepared and helped everyone create the perfect look for them. The make-up and hair lasted the entire evening and everyone absolutely looked fantastic. A Big thank you too Bella Bridal, especially Melissa, Shelby, Sienna, and Stephanie.

nd they were so sweet. Admin was also very responsive via email and responded back right away. Highly recommend them and very happy with my experience!!

they communicated with me and provided me with all the answers to my hundreds of questions. At my trial I got to meet the amazing women who would be there on my big day and they listened to everything I wanted and made me feel so beautiful and glamorous while still feeling like myself. On wedding day they took the few things I wanted to be different and made me feel my absolute best on such a big day in my life. They also made all of my girls feel their best as well. Jenn was our hairstylist and she took everyone's photos and thoughts and made all of our hair look so great and it stayed great all day! Lucy was our makeup artist and she took all of our "natural" style desires and took it to a new level while making sure it'd last all night long. I cannot say enough how kind and wonderful these two were especially starting at 5am! They did an incredible job while also hyping us all up and making us all feel so amazing. I loved working with Bella and having them on my wedding day team. If you need (or just want) beauty done for yourself on wedding day or any other day for that matter I highly recommend Bella. They were also really affordable compared to a lot of other beauty vendors I spoke with because they did do both hair and makeup for my whole bridal party. Definitely contact Bella NOW!

hotos, wedding shower, rehearsal dinner, and of course our wedding day! Renee and her team are the absolute best and are so great at what they do! To anyone getting married in Arizona or Illinois, I HIGHLY recommend this team for all of your hair and makeup needs! I even have one of my bridesmaids now using them for her wedding after how impressed she was! :)

for my wedding day hair & makeup (along with my bridesmaids). I would be shocked if someone found a cheaper price for the same quality that Bella provides. In my search prior to the wedding, I found that other artists/stylists charged double for only one service (hair or makeup). You can have stunning hair and makeup without paying a completely ridiculous price! Not only did our hair & makeup last ALL DAY, but Carly & Jen were so nice and easy to talk to! They added to the fun of getting ready. Don't wait - book now!

med in the least because of this teams thorough timeline, and dedication to keeping to perfect time. These girls bring a lot to the table when it comes to passion, ingenuity, and style. I had to bring a lot of confidence to my friends and family who haven’t gotten their hair/makeup done professionally before, but it was easy. Thank you for everything Renee & Gabby. You guys are fabulous, and I will always recommend Bella Bridal from here on out.

iful!! I received so many compliments! Gabiee did amazing with my make-up as well as 8 bridesmaids. And Aliza did the hair for all of the bridesmaids plus a couple of girls for make-up. It was a lot of girls to get ready but they all stayed on time and everyone looked flawless. I appreciate the great communication from their admin Allie as well. We had to reschedule a trial in and she was very helpful with that! Highly recommend!

had Renee doing hair and Gabiee doing makeup for me and 5 bridesmaids. They did such a fantastic job and everyone was so happy and impressed with their looks! My makeup was exactly what I was looking for, and Gabiee did a great job getting my opinion on styles and color palettes throughout the trial, and took my post-trial notes for the wedding day to make sure it turned out perfect. The airbrushed foundation looked incredible and natural all day, and everything from lips, to contour, to eyeshadow and lashes held up until the very end of the night! Renee is absolutely amazing at hair! I have a TON of hair, and it’s long, so it’s always a pain to try and keep it managed for a long day, but Renee had no issues making sure it stayed in place and looked beautiful until the end of the night. I honestly don’t know how she does it (lots of bobby pins probably haha), but I couldn’t have been happier with how it stayed up in my low bun and didn’t get messed up even when we put my veil in and out of the hairdo. I can’t recommend Bella Bridal Beauty enough! On top of their talent, these girls show up with the most amazing energy and friendly vibes. They are such a fun presence to have with you as you get ready for your big day!

asy to access (and affordable) pricing. It was so easy to get my bridal make-up trial and 2 spray tans scheduled before the big day. I had the wonderful Liz to do my spray tans (1 trial and 1 for wedding day). She was so friendly and genuine and gave me all the tips for my spray first tan. For makeup, Amber did such a stunning job. She did such a amazing work at taking my inspiration and opinions and mixing it with her expertise to give me a great trial, and a makeup look of perfection for my wedding day, along with my 6 bridesmaids. We were all so surprised at how beautiful we looked, even after hours and hours of dancing. Can't recommend this team enough, they were so sweet and are all such talented people!

erred to have completely out of my hands with someone I trust. Unfortunately, despite warning that my hair doesn’t hold curl easily, my hair had already straightened by the time of the ceremony (so maybe an hour, hour and a half wear time?). I didn’t realize it at the time, but my hair wasn’t nearly as curly as I wanted it to be or fluffy even immediately after it was done. I really think it would have been wise to do my hair a little early and put them in rollers so the curls could really set before styling my hair. Because my hair was straight, the braid in it had a hard time holding up. After a little bit of dancing, the braid of my half up look had mostly fallen apart and my hair accessories could barely hold on - I think I actually lost a couple because they just fell out of my hair at some point. It kinda makes me sad looking at all the photos that my hair looks pretty normal as opposed to something that should be exceptionally gorgeous for my wedding day. As for the makeup, while it’s assured that airbrush makeup is waterproof and sweat proof - it’s not. About the time dancing started, so maybe 5 hours into wear time, I was sweating pretty badly from my forehead and went to go check and fix my makeup. My foundation completely melted off my forehead, and when I tried to blend out or fix with powder, you could see patches and streaks. When I saw the portraits taken before the wedding, I have splotchy foundation around my nose, almost like I’d put glasses on and taken them off and they’d left an imprint (except I hadn’t). Overall while the people are nice and the company seems well managed, and I liked that they gave me schedule for the day of, I didn’t feel as pretty as I thought I would on my wedding day. I felt pretty…average. I feel like I could have done my own makeup with normal products (like no special airbrush stuff) and it would’ve looked the same and possibly held up longer. I just feel really disappointed looking at my wedding photos and feeling like I was nothing special.

ht and after crying during vows I expected to look in the mirror and see makeup running down my face and there was nothing it was all still just as perfect! Hands down the best company to work with stress free!

September 2021, but when both my stylists left the company in December, Bella reached out to me immediately to let me know and booked me new trials ASAP. Gabiee and Jessica made my bridal party and I feel absolutely beautiful on the day of. Our hair and makeup stayed on flawlessly all day. Thank you, Bella!!

easiest and most accommodating to work with! I had five bridesmaids plus two sister in laws, my mom and my mother in law all getting hair and makeup. Not only did the Bella team show up early they brought the best energy with them! They were so fun to work with and kept me so calm throughout the morning. And best of all my girls all looked amazing and everyone LOVED their hair and makeup. Another great thing is Bella Bridal offers spray tans and it was the most natural spray tan I’ve ever gotten. Since my wedding, I’ve used Renee and her team for other events for both hair and makeup and have always been blown away with their talent. I cannot recommend them enough and look forward to having another excuse to have them glam me for the day!
