Awful execution of my hair and makeup. Blamed my dermatologist recommended skin care routine for the products not suiting my skin. Recommended that I get a dermaplane or microderm...
abraision treatment regardless of the fact that it is actually contraindicated for those using chemical exfoliants. The owner was beyond rude. Instead of taking ownership for all that happened, she kept being defensive. The environment at her at home salon was not supportive. She didn't foster a attitude or environment that would have allowed for me to express what I didnt like. Also, doesn't let other people get a word in when trying to communicate concerns. My fiance kept trying to say something but she would keep interrupting him. She talked for a solid 3 minutes before he could even get a word in. I definitely could have done a better full coverage look on my own. The owner stated that I dont know what a full coverage look is like and that no one's looking at me that close even. Im literally the bride. Im so glad we canceled our contract with this company. I ended up going to another company and she immediately pointed out all the things this place had messed up.

ure you are getting something you feel confident in! Also, I got my tan done for the wedding (without a trial one prior), and it turned out great. Beyond hair and makeup, Cat was very helpful during the get ready photos, making sure my needs were heard (she even helped move furniture for some of the photos)! Really great overall experience with Feeling Pretty Inc!

It was all so perfect, and the team really enhanced the getting ready vibes. I would use them again and again. You will not regret working with Feeling Pretty!

made! They were so chill with just a bridesmaid's packages and were incredibly nice. Not only were they affordable but my bridesmaids looked absolutely STUNNING! Our group had a lot of different hair types and skin colors and Britney and Val were absolute pros at making everyone look and feel amazing. They made every inspo pic come to life and the hair and makeup lasted through many hours of sweat and tears. I would highly recommend booking them for your event/wedding day!

e. They truly listened to what I wanted and made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. Every single artist was incredibly kind, friendly, and professional...they went above and beyond to make me feel absolutely beautiful.
What really stood out was that they also went above and beyond for everyone in my bridal party, especially my young niece who was our flower girl (she's 4 years old). They made her feel like a little princess and gave her such a special experience that she hasn’t stopped talking about it since!
Their communication leading up to the wedding was excellent, and they were so patient, flexible, and calm the day of, which helped everything run smoothly and made a world of difference. I’m so grateful to have had such a thoughtful and talented team by my side. Thank you, Feeling Pretty Inc, for making the day even more magical!

She was so patient and listened to what each of us wanted, and executed perfectly. She was also so lovely during my trial and to have in my suite the morning of the wedding. Amanda was our makeup artist and did she rise to the occasion! She was my third makeup trial and she nailed it. She gave me great advice ahead of time on how my makeup would lay better on my face. I did as she suggested and it really made a difference. We had a few others on the day of who had challenging skin and she also nailed it. She was so much fun to chat with and have around. Both Lenee and Amanda just gave us wonderful, positive, fun energy the morning of so I really could not have asked for a better team. Thank you, Cat, for providing such a nice experience for my wedding day! I will be forever grateful.

I hired Feeling Pretty just two months before my wedding, and they exceeded my expectations! From the start, Cat was incredibly accommodating and answered all my questions during o...
ur initial phone call. She sent the contract promptly, and after signing, I scheduled a trial with her team. While I noticed a slight delay in her responses at first (understandable during their busiest season), she caught up once the wedding rush quieted, and communication was smooth from there.
Lucy did my makeup, and she was absolutely amazing! During the trial, I requested a very light, natural look, but on the wedding day, I asked for something a bit bolder to stand out in photos. Lucy completely understood the vision and delivered flawlessly. I couldn’t have been happier with my makeup—it was stunning! My bridesmaids were also very pleased with their makeup, though two of them wanted airbrush, which wasn’t initially offered. We had to make a last-minute request, and unfortunately, one artist wasn’t fully prepared for airbrush applications even though it was part of the package. For future brides: if you want airbrush, make sure it’s confirmed when you book.
One of the highlights of working with Feeling Pretty was that lashes were included in the price—a nice touch that made everyone’s look complete.
For hair, Lenee was fantastic! I showed her one inspiration photo, and she recreated the look perfectly. She was also incredibly creative and helpful with my bridesmaids, especially when they weren’t sure what they wanted. Every one of them looked absolutely stunning!
I also decided to purchase hair extensions through Feeling Pretty, and I’m so glad I did. The extensions were reasonably priced, matched my hair perfectly, and added the fullness and length I wanted for my wedding day. It was such a great recommendation from Cat and her team, and I can’t wait to wear them again!
Overall, I’m so happy I chose Feeling Pretty for my wedding day. Despite a few hiccups, the team was professional, talented, and a joy to work with. I’d absolutely recommend them to any bride looking for a reliable and creative hair and makeup team!

ks unnatural and borderline clownish on me. I cautiously asked for a "natural glam" look at our trial, and she absolutely nailed it! Cat's vibe is so sweet, lighthearted, social, and encouraging - she aims to please, and she DELIVERS! Not only was the makeup she did for me absolutely flawless, but it lasted my ENTIRE wedding! It was upwards on 90 degrees on wedding day and I was sweating pretty much the entire time, but the makeup didn't budge! I can't tell you how many people came up to me throughout the reception and said, "How is your makeup still perfect?!" 11/10 <3

I read such wonderful reviews and was very anxious to get scheduled in, I was thrilled to know I secured my wedding date! I do have a gluten allergy, which I forgot to disclose and...
when I had my trial date, it was not a fun time. When I got there, I met the MUA assigned to me, she's a lovely lady, she did follow the inspo pic I brought, however, she made my lips look bigger by drawing OVER the outline of my lips. Normally when I do my eyeliner, I do mid eye to the wing, however she refused to follow my wishes stating that corner to corner would look better. (It didn't) upon my reveal I noticed the wing want attached, when I asked why, she said it looked better that way, I said no, please attach the wing. Upon further looking, I was not happy, to which she said to look in another mirror with different lighting. I was not happy at all, I specifically asked to not have a caked on look, but throughout the process she kept spraying me with water because she felt I was dehydrated (as I was drinking my DAILY gallon of water). Aside from the eyeliner, cake look, I was a golden hue...I asked for a natural look and I looked gold! When I got home, the gluten allergy had kicked in, and my fave proceed to break out and other gluten symptoms persisted. I spoke with Cat that day and told her the situation. She then proceed to tell me o bo, I'm not sure about GF makeup, and cross contamination. I'm not sure how to go about to find GF makeup that you would be ok to use. She then proceed to tell me to go to Sephora, buy my makeup and they can use my makeup on me. When I asked if I would be compensated, she said no because I was paying for the Artistry! Now, I'm no MUA, but I do not have the 1st clue on what makeup to purchase, look for, or what is needed, hence me hiring a MUA for my wedding. The following day I called again and spoke to Cat, requesting a cancelation of my wedding day makeup. I 100% agreed to pay for the trial, as I had already done it, but based off of what she told me, and her abilities to not do what a MUA does she would not be able to fulfill her part of the contract, so I wished to cancel. And I admitted to being my fault for not mentioning my gluten allergy as well as asking if she was knowledgeable of gf makeup. After 2 weeks of emails with 5+ days in response to emails, she finally agreed to cancel and refund my deposit, minus the trial ALONG WITH A HIDDEN ADMIN FEE OF $120.00! A fee that is no where mentioned at all in the contract, this admin fee magically popped up, and Cat graciously agreed to only charge me half of the admin fee afyer I disputed the absurd charge. Sad to say, I was the 1% that was extremely unhappy with my experience, I wish things would have worked out better and I wish things were handled more professionally. I should have stated the gluten allergy from the get go, lesson learned on my behalf. I finally got my refund, which was not what it should have been. Since there was no mention of "admin fees"

Gianna and Catherine listened to my concerns. They were able to use more natural lashes to finish the look instead. My fiance even told me how much he liked my makeup. That is a big deal since he prefers I don't wear makeup at all. I would highly recommend this company to my friends and family.

There aren’t enough great things to say about Cat, Noor, and Mandi! I just got married 10-14, from the trial all the way to the wedding day I was confident I made the right choice ...
booking with Feeling Pretty Inc. At the trial they all made me feel so relaxed and made sure to listen to all my wants, needs, and concerns; when walking out of the trial I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life. The amount of compliments throughout the day were astonishing! To the wedding day, Noor and Mandi were on time and got straight to work. They made sure my bridal party and I were comfortable and explained what they were doing the whole time to ensure we were happy with it. Noor did such an amazing job with my make up I was in love, as much as I loved my make up at the trial, my wedding one exceeded my expectations! Mandi did an amazing job with my hair, it stayed the entire night which is almost impossible to do with my hair texture! The whole day I felt so beautiful and I was so happy with the outcome! Thank you so much for the team at Feeling Pretty Inc! I will forever recommend this business and will most likely be back for something else to be done in the future! If it’s even a question to want to book with them, 100% do it, it will not be regretted!

I was unimpressed! At first I appreciated Cats professionalism at getting the contract over and being able to get my mother in law added but by the end of it I was ready to be done...
! 10 minutes before my trial I was told my artist was sick I explained I had driven an hour and was not coming back to reschedule she graciously offered to do it but it’s unrealistic to call someone 10 minutes before they are supposed to have a trial and expect them to be okay with it!
Then my wedding day an absolute disaster! I was asked what time I wanted everyone ready and Cat gave me a timeline schedule which I filled in with all the girls names! My artist arrived and became an hour behind on the first girl ! Leading to my girls starting to do their own makeup because we knew we wouldn’t have time! It also made our hairstylists behind because people who were supposed to be getting hair done where still in the make up artists chair overall absolute disaster! May I mention the artist never made up anytime my mother in law took the last spot so we could get all the bridesmaids done and we were all supposed to be done at 1 and she didn’t even start my MIL until 1:15!
Then when I approached Cat about it following my big day she noted that my artist told her my baby had an accident might I note my baby was not in the room until after I got my make up done and at no point was she involved in anything with my baby I cleaned a diaper that was the only accident my baby had which had no involvement from my artist or any of my bridesmaid!
My advice to future bride if you want a relaxing wedding day experiences this is not your company!

look for my big day! I'd been in other friends weddings, and I had never loved how my HMU turned out when done professionally, but when we had my trial she exceeded all of my expectations and I left feeling so excited about my look for the big day! Cat (makeup) and Mandi (hair) were so patient with me and listened to my vision and well as the concerns I had from previous experiences. For the morning of the wedding, I had a pretty big bridal party and getting ready group and she was so accommodating from moving up our start time so we could have a bit more time before having to leave (SO thankful to have done this bc time goes by so fast) to having four artists come that morning. All my girls felt beautiful and our hair and makeup stayed the whole day despite light rain during our bridal pictures! I would definitely recommend Feeling Pretty for your wedding!

Brides - Beware! I was excited to work with Feeling Pretty Inc since Cat did my makeup for my sister’s wedding 8 years ago. Having loved the experience then, I trusted that her art...
ists would make me look my best on my wedding day. I scheduled a trial and initially liked my look. However, my makeup did not wear well and looked glossy/oily. My Mother-In-Law to be also had a trial. She decided after that she did not like the way her makeup looked and would not have her make up done for my wedding.
I rescheduled a second trial for myself, requesting airbrush. Cat let me know that my assigned artist does airbrush and made arrangements to have her come to my house for a second trial. My artist arrived 15 minutes late and then explained to me that she over-hydrated my skin during preparation and that changing the preparation would make my makeup less glossy/greasy. I told her that I had requested airbrush makeup and she clearly stated that she did not do airbrush makeup. She offered to do aerosol makeup the day of the wedding, but didn’t have any aerosol with her for the trial. I wanted to trust her, so she did my makeup for a second time. This time, my face looked caked and my pores looked like divots on my face. As someone who feels very comfortable in her own skin, I was bummed. The artist said that the makeup would settle in a few hours - again wanting to trust her, I was thankful for her time and waited…. And nothing changed.
I reached out to Cat requesting to terminate my contract. She kindly got in touch with me and offered to assign me a different artist. After 2 failed trials, (3 including my mother-in-law), I felt it was best to go our separate ways. I was happy to pay for my initial trial, as well as my mother-in-law’s trial. However, I requested the repayment of my remaining deposit based on the conditions that she was unable to provide the service outlined in her contract. Cat charged me for 3 trials and returned $24 to me, despite the fact that the additional trial was due to quality issues. She eventually agreed to repay an additional $100 with a “sorry you feel that way” remark, still not covering the entire cost of the trial.

The hair and makeup artists took what they wanted and also helped to make suggestions based on hair type, skin, and complexion that truly brought out everyone’s gorgeous features! I also LOVED the kit that Cat provided for me! The bag included blot cloths, tissues, powder, and more of my lip color which helped to keep me fresh and feel good well into the sweaty dancing at the end of the night. Everyone’s makeup stayed put and my aunt’s hair even lasted into events later in the weekend! Highly recommend Feeling Pretty if you are looking for a fab beauty team for your big day!!

It’s what you’ll see looking back at pictures forever! Not only did I LOVE my turnout but so did my entire bridal party! Nobody was unhappy in any way! Zahira and Zara do AMAZING work! I would choose Cat/Feeling Pretty over and over and over again!!

Cat and the team at Feeling Pretty are absolute rockstars! They made me feel so unbelievably confident on our big day! My hair and makeup stayed all night! I was worried about my f...
ace getting too oily and the makeup not holding up and my hair getting frizzy but Fatima worked some magic and it looked perfect all night! During the whole process everyone was so great at communicating. During my trial I felt empowered to speak up and make sure that I was happy with how my hair and makeup turned out. I also got a spray tan with Cat before my wedding and I loved how it made my skin look and glow!

If you're looking for a makeup artist for your wedding in the Chicago area, you can stop- you've found her! Cat and her team were absolutely amazing. From the trial to the day of, ...
Cat brought her expertise to the table and made everything so seamless. She's a truly talented makeup artist and consults each bridesmaid to make sure they have the look that's best for the day and their skin type. Cat advised us on the timeline, answered all my questions right away, and was clear with her pricing. I had my makeup done at 9 AM, and it didn't bleed at all despite my happy tears during the ceremony and sweat on the dance floor! She also is genuinely a fun person to be around, and you'll be so glad to have her upbeat energy in the room the morning of your wedding. Overall, I couldn't recommend Feeling Pretty more highly.

My experience with Feeling pretty was amazing! I got the spray tan a few days before which lasted for a long time! I had so many fears about the big day and Cat definitely put all ...
my fears at ease. Cat was really great to work with and kept everything fun and relaxed! Mandie did our hair and was also fantastic! She took a lot of time to make my hair perfect! I had so many compliments and truly felt like a princess and my bridesmaids were impressed with their hair and makeup too! I 100% will recommend to everyone I know!!!

Let me start with my initial conversation with Cat. She was outgoing, friendly, kind and cared about my vision for the wedding day look. She was very organized, great at communicat...
ing (a text, phone call or email away), and she offers free spray tanning for the bride!
My husband and I got our spray tans a few days prior to the wedding and it looks incredible, and natural! So much so, my mom (who is usually Not a fan of spray tans) wanted one too! Cat did an amazing job with the tans.
At my trial, she worked hard with me to capture my preferred look. And at the day of the wedding, she mastered it! That makeup did not budge one bit, I didn’t have to reapply a thing! Concealer, bronzer, eyeshadow, lashes; all of it was intact.
Hair was beautiful as well. They understood the look I was going for and executed it well!
10/10 would recommend cat for your wedding day because she cares, she does an amazing job, and SHES SO FRIENDLY! Feel like I gained a friend. Thanks Cat for all your/your teams hard work!

They were wonderful! I highly recommend for weddings and events. Lucy did makeup for my bridesmaids, my mom and I (bride). Lucy really worked with me to get the right look for m...
y big day. I’m very particular with makeup and she made me feel gorgeous. Mandie styled our hair. I am in love with the hood she gave me. My bridesmaids were so happy and looked more beautiful than ever with their glam waves. Catherine , the owner, is very responsive and super easy to work with. Pricing is high, and I was surprised to pay so much for trials. But in the end it was 100% WORTH IT and from what I’ve seen, pretty comparable to other vendors.

Cat was the first vendor I booked when I started planning my wedding, after our first conversation her enthusiasm got me actually excited to start planning my wedding in the middle...
of such a hectic year. This enthusiasm and contagious excitement was such a gift on the wedding day Morning. Cat is such a pro and thinks of every thing to make your time getting ready stress free and relaxing. Needless to say her and her team will make you look your very best. My bridal party and I were obsessed with our hair and makeup even the moms in the group commented on how well their makeup looked on their mature skin throughout the night. Feeling pretty was the best decision I made when it came to my wedding day.
