We could not have asked for a better hair and makeup team!! I hired Kelly and her team for my wedding in August 2026, and was so thankful that I did. Kelly and her team arrived promptly, kept things moving so smoothly, and all of my bridesmaids and the moms felt so insanely beautiful all day long. I really appreciated Kelly's input and honesty for details on the timeline to ensure that things were running smoothly from the very beginning of the day. Her team is professional and efficient. I would highly recommend Bridesbykelly!

We had an incredible experience with Brides by Kelly for our wedding day hair and makeup! Kelly did hair, while Suzana and Agnes handled makeup for our group of seven. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. The trial was smooth and made me feel completely confident going into the wedding day. On the morning of the wedding, the team arrived early at our home, got set up quickly, and stayed perfectly on schedule throughout the entire morning. They worked efficiently while still leaving us plenty of time for touch-ups before getting dressed and taking photos. Most importantly, everyone looked and felt like themselves. For our easygoing group, that was exactly what we wanted. Each person's hair and makeup enhanced their natural features and personal style, and everyone was so happy with how they looked. Beyond their talent, the energy that Kelly, Suzana, and Agnes brought to the morning was amazing. They were upbeat, positive, and so much fun to be around, which was exactly what we needed on such an exciting and emotional day. They helped create a calm, happy atmosphere and made getting ready one of our favorite parts of the wedding day. We would recommend Brides by Kelly 100% to any bride looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely enjoyable beauty team. They made us all feel beautiful, confident, and completely ourselves, and we are so grateful for their part in our wedding day.

Throughout the booking and trial process, it was easy to get in touch with them, and they were super flexible when I added three more clients!

d day-of hair and makeup, and she did an incredible job listening to my ideas, suggesting styles, and helping me to manage my stress day-of. I was really impressed with how strongly both my hair and makeup held up, even after hours of dancing. Gina and her assistant Breeauna also did makeup and hair (respectively) for our moms and bridal party, and multiple people said this was the first time they loved their makeup and hair after having it professionally done. Book Brides by Kelly - seriously, you won't regret it!

Working with Kelly and her team was a dream from start to finish! From the first time I spoke with Kelly about my hair, I had an idea of what I wanted for my wedding, I just wasn't...

sure if it was possible with my fine, thin hair. I was so appreciative of Kelly's expertise. She was honest with me about what styles would and would not work with my hair. My final hairstyle would not have been possible without her extensive knowledge and extraordinary talent! As for makeup, I am not someone who wears makeup very frequently. Breeauna explained what she was doing every step of the way. I made a lot of changes between my trial and my actual wedding day, and Breeauna accommodated every single one and left me with a look I adored. Kelly and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with. My entire bridal party felt so confident and beautiful on my wedding day. Kelly is transparent about her costs and services, flexible with the craziness of a wedding morning, and an extremely talented artist.

eup ideas, and were prompt from the makeup and hair trial to wedding day. My stylist was Gina. She was so personable and didn’t make me feel silly asking any sort of question or when I wanted to tweak my makeup or hair. I had a very intricate updo that I wanted and Gina put in HOURS at home in between my trial and wedding day to prepare a hair extension with most of the intricate details complete which made wedding morning a breeze. The compliments on my hair and makeup at my wedding were endless, even from all of the straight men LOL. Could not have been happier with how it all came out and my friends and family who got their makeup and hair done were obsessed as well. One of my friends who has had many wedding hair and makeup stylist experiences said this was the best wedding makeup she ever received! Would recommend them 10 times over!!!

Finally, on the big day, Kelly, Agnes, and Gina all arrived on time and started the glam. The team stayed on schedule and made sure that everyone was happy with their hair and make up. They turned a rainy morning into a room of sunshine with their friendliness and professionalism. You can’t go wrong with Brides by Kelly! They deliver nothing but a wonderful experience to make your wedding day as special as can be!

Kelly was our hair artist for our wedding. We had a preview day, and we didn’t totally settle on a hair do because I’m very specific and I couldn’t figure out what was right. I put...

my trust in Kelly. The day of, she said she had a great idea she had been excited to try. She nailed it. My hair exceeded my expectations. It was perfect for my vibes. It was classy, yet one of a kind. Our group was about 9 people. Kelly had Gina come to do the makeup. At the preview day, Gina followed my request of neutral makeup. Once I looked at it, I told her I didn’t want to see my skin, and I want to see my eyelashes from a mile away. She looked at me and said ‘Girl, you mean you want full Glam!’ I’m glad she understood what I wanted, even though I didn’t know myself. I looked amazing on the day, and the makeup made my eyes POP. I’ve had my makeup done by pros in the past, and they were never able to match me well. I usually looked worse. I was in heaven with Gina, I never expected to look that good! It was not good for my ego! She also wore pearls in her hair that day, and brought extras with. She knew I was a boujee bride. I of course told her I loved it and would’ve loved that, TG she came prepared with extras for me! The way Kelly and Gina understood me, and came prepared the day of for who I am, was amazing. They exceeded every expectation I had. I’m so thankful that they were my team!!!!

I loved working with Brides by Kelly! I had a large wedding party (8 bridesmaids) and wanted to get hair/ makeup done for myself, my mother, my MIL, and all of my bridesmaids for a...

reasonable price. That can be SO hard to find in Chicago. Brides by Kelly was awesome to work with-- super responsive and did an amazing job. All of my bridesmaids had different personalities and wanted different things for their hair/ makeup and Kelly and crew made everyone feel so beautiful. I also really appreciated that I did my run through/ trial run with Kelly and ended up wanting my makeup a bit different on the day of, and they totally understood and were not offended at all and made me feel so so beautiful, but still like myself. Our hair and makeup turned out awesome in photos. Brides by Kelly is so reasonably priced compared to other hair/ makeup artists, also. Would HIGHLY recommend!!

i first booked Kelly in 2019; i had a small wedding party (me and 1 bridesmaid!) and it was a challenge to find someone willing to take me. I was so happy to have found Kelly, and ...

from the outset she was wonderful to work with and absolutely stayed within my budget. Then I had to reschedule 2 times due to the pandemic and still she was so easygoing. I didn't get a chance to do any trials, so on my wedding day is the first time we met and OMG WOW, she killed it! i absolutely fell in love with my hair (and so did everyone else!) and my makeup was on point too. i took a gamble and i was just overjoyed on how it all turned out. better yet, Kelly is also just a great human so having her there for a few hours was so fun. Thank you Kelly!

Kelly and Natalia were fantastic! I needed to find a replacement hair and makeup artist just a few weeks before my wedding and I was so grateful to find Kelly. She is so talented (...

Definitely would choose Brides by Kelly again (thought I don’t plan on having another wedding any time soon...)

Kate A

4/03/2019

I had two hair and makeup trials before contacting Brides by Kelly, and I was disappointed in them both. Kelly asked me right away to send her specifics about what I was disappoint...

ed in, what I wanted, how I usually wore my hair and makeup and asked for pictures for inspiration. I really appreciated her eagerness to make sure a third trial with her girls went better. I did a hair trial with Ryan and makeup with Natalia. Both of them knocked it out of the park, and I felt a huge weight lift from my shoulders, and booked them right away. Hair and makeup was not something I had expected to be stressful, but Kelly, Ryan and Natalia wanted to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. On the day of the wedding, Ryan and Natalia were AMAZING. They were right on time, were fun and chatty with my mom and my bridesmaids and of course, their work was beautiful. All my girls loved their hair and makeup. Some girls knew what they wanted for hair, some girls let Ryan do her thing, but all of them turned out absolutely gorgeous. Natalia has such a knack for enhancing people’s natural beauty, and paying attention to their skin and preferences instead of just painting a face on. My hair and makeup turned out even better than the trials (and both girls made changes based on a few notes I gave them) and they both held up all night even after dancing the night away! I would absolutely recommend them. They did a beautiful job, and I’m so appreciative!

I was a little late to the process of booking hair and makeup. At 3 months out before my wedding I got in touch with Kelly and let her know we had a large group (15). She responded...

immediately with pricing and walked me through the options. I also needed my hair cut and colored with very little notice before my bachelorette weekend, and she fit me in at the last minute. On the day of, my girls and I were extremely satisfied with our hair and makeup. Kelly and Agnes did my hair and makeup and I felt stunning. Kelly did exactly what I wanted to match the hair trial and Agnes made a few changes I requested from the trial. Overall, Kelly's team is great - professional, prompt, and able to deliver! I would highly recommend.

Several years later when it was my time to get married I couldn't imagine hiring anyone else for my own big day so I didn't hesitate to book. I had the same wonderful experience my friend did with the trial and again on my wedding day. I highly recommend Brides By Kelly!!

t did during the trial and she listened to what I had to say and re-did my hair! I was so thankful she was ok with re-doing it and it ended up looking exactly how I envisioned! She was also very flexible with my bridesmaids requests and many changes we had to make from the original estimate. Also, I was concerned about how my hair and make up would stay throughout the day. Through hours of dancing my hair and make up stayed put! Overall, she was great to work with and we had such an amazing experience!

Catherine V

10/20/2018

Kelly and Agnes were both amazing to work with for both hair and makeup on my wedding day. They both have a real talent for what they do and I hope in the future I get to use them...

again for another event so I am recommending them to all my friends and family. From the trial run to the day of the wedding they were both on time, professional, and efficent. They listened to what I asked for and made changes if I requested them as well. They both did hair and make up for my large bridal party of 8 which was not an easy task and did it flawelessy and they made everyone happy. I couldn't believe they could work that quickly and give everyone their own look. Again, they are the best and if you have the choice to book them I strongly suggest you do...best decision I made and if I could do it again I would. Thanks again Agnes & Kelly for making me stunning on my wedding day. Cheers!
