We hired Goldplaited for our bridal hair and makeup services and it was amazing! The owners, Mal and Coco, were communicative and easy to work with. We had 6 bridesmaids, 2 moms, a...
nd 1 bride getting hair and makeup services on wedding day at the salon.
As the bride, I had my hair and makeup trials done there too. I loved my makeup trial, but since I was not satisfied with my hair trial, I was able to come in for another hair trial that was complimentary. I loved my hair style the second time around. Andrea (makeup) and Crystal (hair) were the best! They made sure to ask questions and check in to make sure all was going well with the services.
On wedding day, we had an early arrival time, but almost all of the bridal party was seated instantly. This was super helpful in keeping us on track for the day. Everyone left the salon feeling their best. So happy with our experience with Goldplaited!
Goldplaited did such a wonderful job with the wedding makeup for my wife and I. Everyone was so accommodating to our queer and mixed gender bridal party and perfectly captured my w...
ife's vision of a more natural look. After our trial run they reached out to see how our hair and makeup held up and if we needed any adjustments. Sure enough our hair and makeup stayed all day through our outdoor September wedding, through dinner, dancing, and lots of happy tears. I felt so beautiful yet still myself and I totally trusted everyone there to make us look good and feel good. I can't recommend these talented ladies enough for your most special day!
I used goldplaited for my engagement photos, and while everyone was nice, I would not recommend this business.
I told my hair stylist I wanted curls and she kept telling me she w...
anted to give me waves instead. And then when I told her I had a lot of time in between the appointment and my photos, she still brushed out my curls and my hair looked very flat and not curly or wavy by the time of my photos. She spent maybe 20 min total on my hair for a service that was incredibly expensive.
I did like my eye make up look, but the artist did not use a primer on me and the foundation looked extremely heavy. My lashes also fell off twice and I had to go back two times before my photos to get them fixed. The person who fixed it was a different person than who did my make up, and is the only reason I would give two stars instead of one because they were so nice and fixed it perfectly. But it should not have fallen off at all so it was very frustrating I had to keep returning.
I chose Goldplaited to do the hair and makeup for my wedding. Booking was extremely easy, and we started with the trial. I brought in a couple photos for inspo, and they did an ama...
zing job. When the day-of came, I ended up deciding to go with a completely different makeup look and they absolutely did not disappoint. The makeup and hair lasted throughout the entire day. The only thing is that I wish I could replicate what they did!
goldplaited was such a great option as I didn't want to bring anyone into my room. Their River North location is small, but super cozy and perfect for a group! We had a booth we ...
could set out snacks and hang out to wait for our services.
All of my girls were so pleased with their services - they each got something so different but goldplaited did such a great job with each one. They did a great job with the makeup - pretty and just elevated versions of themselves. The moms were super comfortable with what they received as well.
This is a no brainer for brides - the package is well priced and each person is able to choose an upgrade of airbrush and/or eyelashes.
As far as my service, they did an amazing job with everything. Like, I would do it over and over and over again. The hair was perfect, makeup was flawless, and this lasted all freaking day and night. They do an awesome job with clip in extensions as well - never fell out or get uncomfortable and she kept me looking as natural as possible.
This is a must do. No question.
We were grateful for the service provided by goldplaited- they were ready to go for a bridal party of seven (including the bride and mother of the bride) at 7am sharp! Brides make...
up lasted for the seventeen hours from start to finish and my hairstyle lasted even overnight! We all looked beautiful and enjoyed the atmosphere of the salon.
I LOVED working with Goldplaited! They are so talented and made my group look outstanding! They also were so fun to hang out with for the five or six hours while we were getting ...
ready. Highly recommend Goldplaited!
Goldplaited was a fantastic salon to work with! I wanted some crazy unique braids and updo and they exceeded all my expectations! The style was fabulous! I also used them for my br...
idal makeup and they did a great job listening to and executing my style. I used them for my bridal party and they came to our hotel which was amazing and they were all so fun to work with. Would highly recommend!
Absolutely recommend the team at Goldplaited!! They were highly efficient, communicative and made getting ready for the big day so fun. I loved that girls could do pretty much what...
ever they wanted with their hair and the stylists were able to make those dreams a reality, and the makeup was natural and beautiful. Loved working with them!
The people from goldplaited were amazing to work with! They were responsive and helpful. All of my ladies as well as myself looked top notch, the makeup and hair stayed throughout ...
the entire day with no need to touch up or fix. We were also ahead of schedule all day, to the point that we were sitting and relaxing waiting to get dressed well before the groomsmen. I would highly recommend working with goldplaited for your wedding!
Goldplaited did an excellent job on my hair and makeup, my bridal parties, and my mother. They were able to do hair and makeup for 5 people in two hours. Everything was on time and...
professional. Everyone looked beautiful. I have never seen my mom's hair look so beautiful. They were so kind and even worked with one of my more pricky bridesmaids. Their salon is cute and a coventant location.
Goldplaited was absolutely wonderful. They did the hair and make-up for my wedding, which meant 9 people and they completed all of us in 3 hours. They were super helpful offering i...
deas and inspiration photos, and super respectful of each women's taste on how much make-up they typically wear. As the bride, I had a free trial of my hair and make-up to see how long it stayed and what I liked and didn't like about it before the big day. Their bridal package is super reasonably priced compared to everywhere I looked.
Goldplaited did the hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and our mothers as well as my bridal makeup, and we were all very happy with their work. Everyone looked beautiful! One of ...
the top reasons I picked Goldplaited was because we could go to their location and be serviced by more than one or two stylists. And in many cases, they can complete both hair and makeup at the same time. They finished everyone’s hair and makeup (bridal makeup, 6 additional makeups, and 5 hair styles) within just a couple of hours. The space is cute, and we had plenty of room to set up food and drinks as well. And during the entire process, Mal and Coco were very accommodating and responsive to my questions.
The only snafu we had was with my hair. I was originally scheduled to have both my hair and makeup done at Goldplaited as well. However, my first hair trial did not go very well. It didn’t look like my inspiration look in shape or in style. The curls also fell out during the day, which is very unusual for my hair. Part of the problem was that I didn’t see my hair along the way, as they were applying my makeup at the same time, and I was never asked about it until it was basically complete. I wrote to Mal and Coco about the experience, and they were very kind and offered me a second complimentary hair trial. However, I had already booked my regular stylist. (I am very picky about my hair, and I was a little freaked out by the experience.) I told them this, but they insisted that I come in for the second trial. The second trial went so much better! This stylist, Mari, seemed much more experienced and skilled. Had I been scheduled with Mari initially, I would have had my hair styled at Goldplaited.
Absolutely loved my hair and makeup with Goldplaited! My bridesmaids and I used the bridal/bridesmaid package for my September 2017 wedding. I loved that a trial was included in th...
e bridal package so I had a chance to see my entire look before the wedding. I was so impressed by the skill & attention each of my bridesmaids received- our hair and makeup withstood plenty of pictures, drinks & dancing!
I cannot say enough good things about Goldplaited. I was VERY lucky in that they began offering an on-site service for bridal parties right around the time I was booking hair and ...
makeup stylists for my wedding. Mal was incredibly responsive to all of my questions, and she understood that we'd be under a time crunch on the day (my wedding was at 1 p.m., and all the ladies had to be ready by 10:30 for pictures). She sent four stylists to our hotel, and they arrived right on time - very early in the morning, too!
I absolutely loved the way my hair and makeup turned out. Natalia and Mari did a fantastic job. And all of my bridesmaids and my mom loved their looks, as well. I'm so, so glad that we had Goldplaited with us on the day!
I hired the ladies of Goldplated to do my hair and makeup, as well as the hair/makeup for my maid of honor, mother, and mother-in-law for my wedding in September 2017. Mal and Coco...
were incredibly professional throughout the process, and go out of their way to make sure that you are 100% thrilled with your beauty services. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Andrea and Mari for makeup and up-dos, respectively. I couldn't offer Andrea much direction as I don't wear very much makeup and wanted to look as much like myself as possible, and she absolutely nailed the clean, natural look. I had a few pictures of up-dos to share with Mari, and she did a fantastic job blending the textured, braided, soft look I was going for. Even my mother, who is exceptionally difficult to please, was speechless when she saw my finished look. Everyone in my party was so excited with their looks, and the Goldplated team was enjoyable to spend the morning with. Thanks Goldplated for your highest quality services!
I would highly recommend GoldPlaited!
I use them (blowout/makeup) for my engagement photos and the day of the wedding. All the bridesmaids LOVED their hair and makeup!
They are...
such a professional group - super responsive to emails and phone calls. Thank you for making us look great!
Goldplaited is the best for wedding parties! My moms and bridesmaids all had quite varied tastes when it came to hair & make-up, and Goldplaited took great care of all of us. From ...
braids, half ups, updos, and blowouts, everyone came out with a hair style they felt great in. I also really appreciate how much they listened to each woman when it came to their make-up. Many were skeptical at first about having their make-up done, but everyone left feeling confident and beautiful. I adored the look they gave me as the bride, and it held up throughout the entire day. Not to mention, the time we spent getting ready in the salon was a blast! Great value for the cost. I'd go back anytime to have my hair and make-up done for another occasion.
My hair and make-up for my wedding day was perfect. The service was wonderful! :) I got so many compliments! It was exactly how it was for the trial, even a little better. I am s...
o pleased with Goldplaited and will be recommending them to future brides!
Goldplaited was absolutely amazing from the start! They had all the information and pricing available right away, and when we decided to book with them, they thanked us a million t...
imes. They were extremely flexible with Chicago traffic and getting us in a little early the day of the wedding so we could arrive in time to take pictures with my husband. Mal was amazing and truly professional! If I'm in Chicago and needing services done, no doubt I'm going to Goldplaited again!
My bridesmaids, mom and I had our hair and makeup done at Goldplaited in January, and we had an amazing experience! The space is beautiful and absolutely perfect for getting ready,...
and the music made the atmosphere even more fun. The team worked wonders with our hair and makeup (especially considering that several of us rarely do much beyond lipgloss and a ponytail). We looked and felt like a million dollars. A bonus is the really friendly and genuine staff. Truly marvelous experience!
I had a lot of bridesmaids who wanted hair/makeup and not a lot of time. I started looking into finishing salons when I came across Goldplaited. Mal and Corrine were super accommod...
ating and extremely helpful with booking appointments for my bridal party and getting everyone in and out on time. And the best part? Everyone looked gorgeous! I can't recommend Goldplaited enough!
