Nancy and her team did a phenomenal job of making me and my bridal party look our best!! She nailed my look at my trial and recreated it perfectly for the wedding day. Her team was wonderful to work with as well--the stylist who did my hair trial ended up getting Covid the week of my wedding but Nancy had another stylist ready to go and the issue was resolved before I even know it was a problem.
We had a variety of different skin tones and hair types and Nancy and her team were able to navigate all of that easily so everyone felt beautiful on the wedding day. She also did a great job with the moms and grandmas!
I didn't want to take my makeup off after the wedding was over because it still looked good, even after all the dancing! Highly recommend!!
Nancy and her team did a phenomenal job doing my hair and makeup for a my wedding day as well as hair and makeup for eight bridesmaids, MOB, and MOG! Every looked incredible. With a rage of ethnicities in my wedding party, it was important for me to have someone who understood how to do makeup for different facial features and structures and Nancy was just that! She is a true master of her craft and really understood what I was looking for, an elevated, slightly more glam version of me. Each bridesmaid chose her own hair and make up look and it was amazing to see Nancy's talent and versatility! I truly believe Nancy can execute on any look you are envisioning for your wedding day. Mary did my hair and she did a phenomenal job as well, really making sure the curls were exactly how I wanted. She made sure they held up all night!
On top of her talent, Nancy is a dream to work with. She is responsive and organized. She is there to give you her professional opinion, but ultimately empowers you to make the right choice for you! She will absolutely make you feel stunning and confident on your wedding day! Highly recommend!
Nancy and her team made us feel so beautiful on my wedding day! They were so professional and stayed on time the whole morning. I absolutely love how my hair and makeup looked!
“I cannot say enough good things about fearless and Bella! Nancy and Mary made my wedding day so special with their incredible talent and attention to detail. From the trial session to the big day, they listened to my vision and brought it to life perfectly. My makeup was flawless and lasted all day, and my hair stayed picture-perfect through all the dancing and celebration. They were was also such a calming presence, making the whole getting-ready process a breeze. I felt so beautiful and confident on my wedding day, all thanks to them!!!!! I highly recommend them to any bride-to-be.” Loved my look so much!
Fearless and Bella did my makeup/hair for my wedding (and did makeup hair for my bridesmaids as well) and i truly cannot recommend them highly enough!!! I felt like my makeup was absolutely perfect and hair was literally a dream - they did such an incredible job with everyone truly. We got so many compliments and they were all SO wonderful to work with !!! I highly, highly recommend this team for beauty needs!!!!
Nancy and her team were truly fantastic! My hair and makeup turned out more than perfect and I felt stunning on my wedding day. My bridesmaids kept raving about their hair and makeup too and couldn’t believe how great everything looked. Highly recommend Fearless & Bella for any of your hair and makeup needs!
Nancy and her team were a dream to work with for my wedding day. They did such a great job with my bridal hair and makeup. I had five other people in our group also get hair and makeup done and every single person was so happy with how it turned out. I will definitely be recommending Fearless and Bella to anyone who needs wedding h&mu I could not have been more pleased.
If I could give future brides any piece of advice, it would be to book Fearless and Bella RIGHT NOW. Nancy is an absolute dream to work with, and she and her team made me feel beyond beautiful on my wedding day.
I showed up to my trial completely unprepared (don't recommend this lol) with like one picture of me at a previous wedding and three random Pinterest makeup photos. Nancy and Jenny didn't even bat an eye, they just jumped in and started working. And somehow, without having anything to go off of, they completely nailed it. I was FLOORED. It was such a privilege to not have to worry at all about hair and makeup in those final, stressful weeks of wedding planning.
Fast forward to wedding day. We had 9 hair and 8 makeup services, so it was definitely a big morning and I was a little nervous when I walked in. Having the Fearless and Bella team in the room felt like having 4 more lifelong friends to get ready with. They made us laugh, jammed to our playlist with us, and made everyone feel at ease while literally working their butts off. I had everyone in my party decide their own HMU directions, so they truly tackled 9 unique, custom looks. Seeing everyone's personalities shine through was one of the most special parts of the day for me. And on top op that, Nancy and Jenny just absolutely crushed my bridal look and made all my glittery glam dreams come true. The single note I had from my trial was that my eyelids were proving to be oilier than I realized, so after hours of wear I noticed some melting. I have no idea what kind of magic expertise Nancy wields, but when I tell you that on my wedding day I sweat, cried, ran around, pet dogs, danced my face off, and took wedding portraits IN THE RAIN and that ish DID NOT MOVE... sorcery.
For me, booking with with Fearless and Bella meant feeling heard, celebrated, guided, confident, comfortable, gorgeous, and so so happy. I could not recommend them more!!!!!

Nancy and her team were wonderful to work with! Nancy took the time to answer all of my questions from the very beginning. During my hair and makeup trial, I was nervous as I am not someone who typically wears a lot of makeup . My hair and makeup artists made me feel so comfortable as soon as I sat in their chairs. The day of the wedding my mom, MIL, and bridesmaids all loved their hair and makeup. I am so happy Nancy and her team were there to help make my wedding day amazing!
Nancy at Fearless & Bella was so amazing to work. During our very first phone consult, she was patient in answering all my questions and wonderful to contract with. During the make up trial, we experimented with a few things (individual and strip lash) and she took photos with her nice camera to see how it would look in photos. She's also a brow gal so I went into her studio to get my brows perfectly done before the wedding. And of course on the getting ready during the morning of the wedding was all smooth thanks to Nancy. First of all her skills are amazing she made me feel beautiful with the make up that lasted the whole wedding. And more importantly she is just a kind human! Choosing a make up artist is so important because it is the FIRST vendor you encounter with on your wedding day. She was such a calming and kind presence. 5/5 would definitely recommend Nancy!!!
Nancy and her team were such a joy to work with. I loved how my hair and makeup looked on my wedding day, and my bridal party looked stunning. I appreciated her teams' willingness to work with everyone’s individual hair and makeup looks. We were kept on schedule and I couldn’t recommend her and her team enough!
I had a wonderful experience working with Nancy and Fearless and Bella for my July 2022 wedding. Nancy was very easy and pleasant to communicate with, and prompt with her email responses. Her google forms were helpful for me to organize and share inspiration photos and my ideas for my wedding day look. We did a trial 2 months before the wedding, which was so key to helping me understand how to describe what I was looking for. She was flexible and adaptable to makeup changes I wanted between the trial and wedding day.
When it came to the day, I could not have been happier with my hair and makeup. I had asked her to do a more natural, glowy look for my makeup - and she nailed it. It was also my first time using hair extensions, and I'm so glad I did. She blended the extensions into my half up/half down look, they held the entire day and night, and definitely made my hair hold a wavy curl for way longer than it usually would. I am still receiving compliments on my wedding day hair!
My bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law, were all very happy with their looks as well. Done up, but not overdone. They all looked stunning thanks to the Fearless and Bella team! And we had the best morning getting ready. I would recommend Fearless and Bella to anyone looking for their hair and makeup wedding day vendor.
Such an amazing team! I had a bridal party of 16 girls and she was so great at organizing everything. All the makeup looked so great and her personality makes it enjoyable! Will definitely book her again :)
Fearless and Bella did such an amazing job with hair and makeup for my wedding. They were able to give me exactly what I wanted and made me and my wedding party look amazing! Also they were on time and we ended up ready a little early which is so important on a wedding day. I will be sure to recommend them to all my family and friends!
I used Fearless & Bella for my wedding make up and hair. Nancy and her team did a wonderful job - they were punctual, quick to set up and had everything needed. All my bridesmaids looked beautiful and my hairdo + make up was perfect. Highly recommend Nancy and her team!
I am SO happy I chose to go with Fearless and Bella for my wedding hair and makeup. After scrolling through a sea of Instagram photos trying to find someone who would make me look like the most glamorous version of myself (while still looking like ME), I chose Fearless and Bella. From the beginning, Nancy was the biggest sweetheart, and my hair/makeup trial felt like spending time with girlfriends before a big night out. They took my inspiration photos and ideas and customized them to my hair and skin type, and I knew I'd be in good hands.
The day of, Nancy and her team showed up in good spirits ready to transform us! They were so kind and supportive, and I knew we were in the best of hands. By the end of the morning, we all looked like we were glowing - the most beautiful versions of ourselves! I really could not have asked for a better group of women to make us feel beautiful, and I can't wait for another fancy occasion to work with them again!
Nancy did my bridesmaids, mothers, and my hair for my wedding. She did my hair exactly how I wanted and checked in throughout the trial and day of to make sure everything was how I wanted it. She was so sweet, ran on time, and everyone loved their hair. Everyone’s hair lasted through a 15 hour day. Would 100% recommend!!!
Nancy was so great to work with! My trial went really well and my hair/makeup on my actual wedding day were better than I could’ve ever imagined. Nancy made me look & feel so beautiful and everything lasted throughout the day!
Her team was also great working with my bridesmaids and my mom. Everyone loved how their hair/makeup turned out!
Nancy is really good at what she does and I really hope I get to work with her again for future occasions!
Nancy is such a pleasure to work with! I had a vague idea of what I wanted to do for my wedding, and she went above and beyond what I had in mind. She and her team did amazing work getting all of the women involved in my day ready (even ahead of schedule!) I highly recommend her to anyone that wants their hair and makeup done right!
I booked Fearless & Bella to do hair for my wedding in July, and they did such an amazing job!!! My hair, my bridesmaids, and my mom's hair looked incredible, and lasted the entire day. I was so happy with my experience from the trial to the day of. The team was lovely to have around with us all day, and my bridesmaids loved them! Would recommend this team to anyone planning a wedding :)
Nancy was an absolute dream to work with for my July 24 wedding in Chicago! Not only did she get up at 3am to fit me in after changing my wedding date due to COVID, but her work was absolutely breathtaking! My hair and makeup lasted 12+ hours on my wedding day and received so many compliments by my guests. I could not recommend her enough and plan to use her again in the near future!!
Nancy and her team were absolutely wonderful to deal with from the beginning. Nancy was so understanding and worked with us when postponing our wedding due to COVID. My mom and I did a trial at her home studio before the wedding, which was so helpful to figure out what style hair/makeup we wanted for the day of. My girls and I looked beautiful on the day of the wedding & we owe it to this salon!
Nancy and her team made all of my wedding party GLOW with radiance and enhanced natural beauty. I have known Nancy for quite some time and have always wanted her to do makeup for my wedding. Mary did an excellent job on my hair, and Nancy made me look beautiful. My husband definitely cried when he saw me! Thank you, Fearless and Bella!
Nancy & her team did an amazing job! All my girls hair and makeup stayed the entire day, even with the Chicago wind!
Nancy was very responsive throughout the whole process and helpful to make the morning as seamless as possible!
I would highly recommend for hair and makeup!
I booked Fearless & Bella for my micro wedding and they were amazing! My hair/makeup stylist was Araceli and I loved everything she did. My hair was so beautiful and different from anything I have ever seen. My makeup looked like me, but better! It was exactly how I pictured it. Mary did hair for my family members and she did an amazing job. Everyone looked incredible. I worked with Nancy when booking and she was so easy to talk to and made everything happen. What a wonderful experience. Thank you ladies!!!
I booked Fearless & Bella for my wedding hair and makeup and couldn’t be more thrilled with how everything turned out! Nancy (makeup) and Mary (hair) were both lovely to work with and really professional. Both were extra careful with sanitation of all tools and diligent about mask-wearing and hand-washing. Both really took the time to listen to me and my bridal party/moms about what we wanted our looks to be and what level of comfort we have with makeup or hair styles. Everyone had a little bit different styles and requests and F&B went above and beyond making it happen for each of us. Even my mother-in-law, who hasn’t even worn mascara (!), was thrilled with the makeover! Fearless & Bella truly made me look the best I have ever looked and were really accommodating in scheduling both the trials and day-of services. Prices are super reasonable for the level of care and professionalism! I highly recommend Nancy & her team for any beauty needs you may find yourself wanting in the future!
Nancy made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. Due to covid, I didn't get to schedule a trial with her, and it turned out that I didn't even need it because Nancy knew exactly how to do my hair and makeup. I can't wait to work with her again next year for our large/postponed wedding!
Nancy and her team are absolutely INCREDIBLE! They made us all look and feel incredible. We completely pivoted my look the morning of my wedding, and I trusted Nancy completely - it turned out even more beautiful than the trial and it matched my dress perfectly - my makeup and hair did not change at all the entire night - even in the snow! This is the best team you could hire for your big day, dont hesitate.
Nancy and her Team at Fearless and Bella are the exact people you want to hire for your wedding! Nancy the owner is who you book with. She is kind, professional and responsive, everything you want when planning a wedding. The planning portal she uses is easy to use, and her payment system is very convenient! My make-up artist was Madison. She came to my house for the trial and was so nice and easy to work with. I never felt intimidated to ask her to change something I didn't like. After that night I texted her a couple I things I wanted tweaked, and on my wedding day my make-up was everything I wanted it to be. I have never felt more beautiful than I did that day. On top of that all of my girls looked stunning! Madison was so nice and fun to be around too! I would recommend Fearless and Bella to anyone getting married!
I cannot say enough good things about Nancy and team. Most importantly, she made me and my bridesmaids look and feel absolutely beautiful with flawless hair and makeup. I had wanted a bold lip for my fall wedding and she nailed it first try on the color during our trial, and the lipstick lasted ALL NIGHT of the wedding. Beyond the amazing hair and makeup talent, she was also pretty affordable relative to other options and she is also super sweet and fun - just the type of person you want hanging out with your bridal party getting ready for the big day. Highly recommend!!
Nancy and her team completely exceeded my expectations. I’m someone who doesn’t normally wear a lot of makeup and they made me feel comfortable with my wedding day glam along with looking naturally beautiful. They were very open and attentive to all of mine and my bridal party’s needs. I wish I could have them do my hair and makeup everyday!
Nancy and her team were great! No complaints whatsoever!
One of the best decisions I made was to hire Nancy and Kaedi for my wedding. From the beginning, Nancy made the scheduling and booking process so easy. She answered any questions I had and was prompt with her response. Nancy did such a great job with my hair at my hair trial that I knew my hair would be perfect for my wedding day. It was actually better than the inspiration photos I had shown her. On my wedding day, Nancy and Kaedi set the tone for the entire day. They were on time, professional, and fun to work with! Nancy and Kaedi made me, my bridesmaids, and my Moms look and feel fabulous. I have never felt so beautiful. My bridesmaids and I kept receiving compliments all day. Thank you for making my day so perfect Nancy and Kaedi!
Wow! We are so lucky to have found Nancy and her wonderful team. Nancy is professional and kind, the perfect friend you need during the stressful times of getting ready for your big day. She came to my home to do the hair and makeup trial and was very open to suggestions. On the wedding day, she showed up with her team with positive energy and big smiles! They worked through my hair/makeup, two moms' hair/makeup and 7 bridesmaids' hair/makeup quickly and with gorgeous results! Thank you Nancy!
I reached out to Nancy regarding hair and make-up for my engagement pictures and I am so happy I did! Nancy worked with everything I needed/ wanted including multiple time changes for the session without question. Kim was my artist and she came directly to my hotel room. She was so knowledgable and personable. I am so happy with how everything turned out! If I was getting married in the area I would definatly book these ladies! Thank you Fearless and Bella!
Nancy and her team were super great! From the moment I first communicated with Nancy, I knew they were the perfect beauty team for me! We had a bridal party of 8 plus two moms. They were so professional and listened to what each one of us wanted. Everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup! My makeup stayed on ALL NIGHT! I got airbrush, and it was TOTALLY worth it! I highly recommend Fearless & Bella!
Nancy and her team were so accommodating! We added a few extra bridesmaids for makeup at the last minute and Nancy reworked the schedule so quickly for us. She also answered all of my questions and concerns! For my trial, the artists came to my house which was really convenient. I loved my final look, and my mom and bridesmaids were really happy too. I would absolutely recommend Fearless & Bella!
Nancy and Ann were great to work with. Nancy was very responsive and was super sweet in dealing with me changing my mind on make-up so many times. Ann did a phenomenal job on my hair and it held up until the very end. We had two or three other hair artists and the bridesmaids' whose hair wasn't in an up-do came uncurled pretty much immediately after pictures. I've been to a few other weddings since then where I've noticed this happen so not sure if that's just an expectation. I loved my make-up during the trial but my husband thought it was too dark so I did another trial and thought it was perfect. I'm not sure if Nancy used extra airbrush foundation on the wedding day or whether it was the sun but my make-up started peeling slightly right before pictures. We were able to fix the issue with some powder and lotion but I would suggest going with regular foundation or seeing how your make-up stays on in similar conditions, which I didn't do.
I didn't know where to begin for wedding hair and makeup, since all of my friends had their weddings outside of Chicago. Nancy and the Fearless and Bella team were amazing. Nancy is fantastic to work with. Super friendly and responsive. She set us up with one makeup artist and one hair stylist but explained to me what kind of changes in our lineup would merit adding more. The pricing is really fair and the quality of her team's work is amazing. I worked with Mary and Marjorie and they are INCREDIBLE! They both came to my house in Morton Grove (outside of the city) for a trial and they were really friendly and happy to try whatever I wanted. I'm indecisive so I really needed time to sit with my trial look to decide how I felt about it. Nancy checked in and passed my feedback along to Mary and Marjorie and both were more than happy to make adjustments on our wedding day. Marjorie even said she bought some new products to use with me after reading my feedback, which I thought was so sweet and ended up being SO worth it! They were flexible when I needed to rearrange my bridesmaid order and I can't recommend them enough.
I could not rave more about Nancy and her team! A total of 11 people (bridesmaids, mothers, aunts, cousins, and two young nieces) got their hair and makeup done and all felt incredible! As the bride, they truly brought to life what I had envisioned and truly felt like a million bucks!
Fearless & Bella were fantastic from start to finish! I had a large bridal party and knew I wanted to keep things simple by doing hair and makeup with one vendor. Nancy was really accommodating and provided clear details, schedules, and information from booking to wedding day. All my bridesmaids and mom’s had rave reviews about their hair and makeup. They were extremely organized and came prepared with their own chairs and power strips, showed up on time, and were just a fun group to get ready with! Our makeup stylists were Laura and Nancy, hair stylists were Amanda and Kaedi. I personally had Nancy and Kaedi, both did an amazing job at both the trial and real deal. I would recommend Fearless & Bella to anyone looking for a reliable, talented, and well organized hair & makeup vendor!
I chose Kim from Fearless and Bella to be my bridal hair stylist and I couldn't be happier! I searched long and hard for a hair stylist that could do vintage Hollywood waves plus regular bridal hairstyles. Kim is exactly that! She is trained in vintage Hollywood waves by Mustafa Avci, while also being a master of other hairstyles such as updos, braids, etc.
I knew from my hair trial that Kim was very sweet and punctual, and she continued to be exactly that the day of the wedding. She did a phenomenal job on my hair, I received so many compliments on my perfect vintage waves. Kim was also so helpful for those in my bridal party that weren't sure how they wanted to do their hair, as well as the flower girls.
I didn't get a chance to meet Nancy, the owner of Fearless and Bella, but she was so helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Fearless and Bella, especially Kim, to any brides out there!
Nancy and her team, Kim and Ann, did an amazing job on the hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law. Everyone looked so glamorous! After the trial, I had a few comments of feedback on picky little things for hair and makeup and Nancy and Kim were super open to it and only wanted to make me happy. My hair did not move all day even with adding/removing my veil. My makeup also held up well all day/night, but I wish I would have gotten a lipstick sample from Nancy to reapply because it did wear off quickly. Overall Fearless & Bella is wonderful--highly recommend!
I chose Fearless and Bella based on my sister and laws recommendation and was happy to have done so! I did both a dry run of the hair and makeup I wanted for my wedding and they were always on time. Very professional, and did a great job. I only gave 4 stars because by the end of the night all of my bridesmaids and my own hair (half up/down and wavy) had fallen! All hair stylists and makeup artists though were very fun and professional and most makeup/hair looked beautiful afterwards and up until about 6 hours following. Overall would recommend.
I did a lot of research when choosing makeup for myself and bridal party...I’m so glad that I choose Fearless and Bella! We all loved our makeup and it lasted all day in high 80 degree weather!! Nancy and one her team members showed up on time and finished ahead of schedule. Choose Nancy and her team...you will not be disappointed!
Nancy and her team are the best in the business! First, your trial is in her home which was very sweet and intimate. She was open with me and did exactly what I wanted. On the day of, they come to you at no charge which is AMAZING. They only needed valet at the hotel which was super easy. They set up quickly and kept on the timeline that she made us. As the bride, I never felt like I was even wearing makeup with the amazing job she did. Ann for hair was also incredible! I had my trial with her at the same time as my makeup and loved it. I even emailed Nancy a few months before the date to ask if I could change my hair to another style that I liked and it was no problem! They save all notes on you and know exactly what you want on your day of so there’s no time wasted figuring out what you want or what they did for the trial. My hair and makeup lasted all day and night and was absolutely stunning.
I can not say enough great things and Nancy and her team. We had a large bridal party and I searched for a while before deciding on a company to suit all of us. I found Fearless & Bella on Instagram and after contacting Nancy, I knew instantly they were the one. She made it so easy to accommodate a large group and all of her girls handled it beautifully. I had 10 bridesmaids get their hair and make up done, and didn’t hear one complaint! We received so many compliments up and I happily send out the Fearless and Bella instagram to anyone who asks!
I highly recommend booking them for your next event, you will not be disappointed!
I spent days reading numerous reviews and scrolling through Instagram photos trying to find the perfect makeup artist/hairstylist. It wasn’t until I found Fearless and Bella that all my worries melted away! From the moment I reached out to Nancy, my questions through email were answered promptly and she was accommodating to my requests and last minute changes. Nancy did the makeup for me and a few of my bridesmaids. Nancy really listens when you tell her your ideas and she takes great pride in her work. She made all of us feel so beautiful! Marjorie worked alongside Nancy and did the makeup for one of my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law. She’s awesome! They each were so happy with the results. I felt so fortunate to have Mary as my hairstylist. She was personable, patient, and is so talented at styling hair. She was able to create unique and beautiful styles that suited me and my bridesmaid’s individual tastes. I could not be happier with Nancy and her amazing team. Everyone looked absolutely stunning and we received so many compliments! I highly recommend Fearless and Bella to any bride!
I had the best time working with Fearless and Bella for my wedding! Nancy was extremely responsive to my emails and quick to respond too! I was amazed to received a reply to my initial inquiry only about an hour or two after submitting an inquiry via the website in the evening. Nancy was also extremely accommodating to all my last minute changes and requests! Thank you Nancy! My hair and make up stylist was Kim. She does AMAZING work! I was so happy with the result of my trial and even more happy with the result of my wedding look! She really does pay attention to the details and even gave me some skill and make up advice which I appreciated! In addition to Kim, I also had Mary, Safaa and Marjorie styling my bridesmaids, and family. They all did an amazing job as well! Overall, I would highly recommend!
I can’t say enough about the Fearless & Bella team. They were ABSOLUTELY amazing. They made me feel so comfortable! My bridesmaids are still raving about their hair and makeup and the amazing team. Nancy worked with changes along the way and her team made sure that everyone looked and felt their best. I absolutely recommend Fearless & Bella- I promise you won’t regret it!
Thank you so much Nancy and team!!!!
