I had a different makeup artist (a friend of Jess') scheduled for my wedding (3/21/20 right before the peak of COVID19) and she couldn't fly 5 days before my wedding. Jess honored...
my previous MUA's pricing, did a trial for me at my house 2 days before my wedding AND did an amazing job on myself, my girls, and my mom.
She is the type of personality and kind heart you want in your bridal suite. She is so easy to talk to and makes it clear that if you want anything changed at all, she is happy to do it.
I was first in a wedding where the bride used Jess as her wedding day makeup artist for the bridal party (along with hair stylist Laura) and loved them so much I booked them for my...
own wedding. They make the initial trial so easy & comfortable by coming to you and talking through what look you're going for on your big day. I've since have gotten my hair/makeup done from them on other occasions and always am delighted by how it not only looks, but holds up throughout the day + night! Finding the right wedding vendors can be stressful so it was great to have someone amazing like Jess + Laura to have one less thing to worry about during the wedding planning process.
I can count how many times I've worn make up my entire life on one hand so I had no idea what directions to give Jessica. I told her I wanted my face to look like "I am wearing no ...
makeup but still look perfect " and my hair "to be off my neck". Not only did she nail the exact look I very vaguely described, she was also so friendly, fun and comforting as she walked me through the entire process to make me not feel so nervous. I also had to change my schedule and number of people a couple times but Jessica was very supportive and adjusted with me without any problem. Jessica is very talented and super personable, I highly recommend her!
Jessica was such a joy to work with. Her positive energy set such a good vibe for my wedding day! I am very picky when it comes to my hair, but I knew immediately from the hair tri...
al that she would do whatever it took to be sure I was happy. She even did a hair trial for my mom and a blow-out for me for the rehearsal dinner. She really goes above and beyond. Could not be happier to have worked with Jessica - would highly recommend.
Simply put, the best!!!!!!!
So fun, so easy to work with, and the end results were better than we could have ever imagined! Cannot recommend them enough!
Jessica did a great job on my make up. I never looked better! She is personable and professional. I highly recommend her.

Jessica + team were incredible. I've never felt more beautiful in my life! Jess and I had a trial about 3 months before my wedding day and I absolutely loved what she did, but last...
minute (about a week before my wedding) I decided that I was really into a long braid and decided to change our original plan for my hair. Jess didn't bat an eye and said that she was totally down. I loved everything she did. She was timely, super easy to talk to, and helped touch everyone up right before pics. She's amazing and you should hire her now.
I can't say enough about Jessica - she did the makeup for my rehearsal dinner and wedding & I'm already trying to think of reasons to have her come and do my makeup again! It was i...

erience with Jessica, she really worked with each person to make sure they got the look they wanted. Not only did she do an excellent job on hair/makeup, but she was also super personable and fun to hang out with! She was a great addition to our getting ready crew. Would highly recommend Jessica to everyone!
Jessica absolutely blew everyone away at our wedding. We had two moms, a sister, 3 bridesmaids, and me getting our hair done, and 2 bridesmaids and me getting our makeup done, and ...
even my 2 bridesmen got some help with their hair! Jessica and her assistant did all of this on time and so, so beautifully. We all got compliments all night, from ladies who went more natural with their makeup and with partially down hair styles, to me with my makeup at my most glam and glittery and with a braided updo. Everyone did something different and Jessica and her assistant handled each look perfectly and they all lasted all night! To top off everyone feeling so beautiful and confident, Jessica was super nice and fun through the experience. It felt like we had a good friend helping us get ready and feeling our best, not just an amazing professional.
Jessica is the real MVP of the makeup game! I hired her to my hair and makeup for my wedding and was beyond happy with the results! My hair is a fussy beast and can never keep a cu...
rl. Needless to say it was 12 hours later and the curls were still hanging on! She also did a couple of my bridesmaids hair and makeup. One of the girls just had a baby and said she had not felt tht beautiful in a long time. Jess was also so so sweet by doing my 10 year old niece’s hair and little lipgloss to make her feel special! It was very last minute and I hadn’t planned for it. Her mother had told me she was looking forward to being done up with the girls-which i had no idea!!! But Jess was on it no problem!! I have her booked for a gala next month and am planning on having using her more in the future! Thanks again Jess!!
Jessica was the best! A different makeup/hair person I had initially booked fell through about a month before my wedding, and I was so lucky that Jessica was available. Even thou...
gh we didn't have time to do a trial appointment, Jessica absolutely nailed the look I was going for, and did a great job with the MOH and MOB. She was super chill and fun to hang out with all day, and an easy communicator in the planning process. I've recommended her to a few close friends!
Jessica is AMAZING!!! I’m so happy with how my makeup looked and felt all day. I was worried that the heat was going to melt everything off but it stayed well on until the next mor...

f my 7 bridesmaids, mom and mother in law for my wedding. Everyone looked stunning!!!

d mom feel especially taken care of. Working with Jessica is like having a friend do your makeup because she is sweet and easygoing and fun to chat with. She made my skin and eyes look flawless, and I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day. I had such a great experience that I hired her again for a special work event. Jessica styled my hair and makeup for that event and I loved everything. I also received so many compliments at the wedding and the dinner event. I highly recommend Jessica for styling for your special occasion. I will definitely call her the next time I need special beauty styling!
Jessica was by far the star of my getting ready process! She was so fun to have around on one of my most stressful mornings. Not only is she a wizard at makeup and hair (definitely...
made me look like a WAY better version of me), but she was just so fun and easy-going when tensions were running high. Leading up to the wedding she was always easy to connect with and eagerly got back to me when I had questions. I recommend her to everyone I know!
We booked Jessica as our wedding day makeup artist and she was phenomenal! She and our hair stylist (Laura) were so easy to work with and everyone was so happy with their hair and ...
makeup. My initial trial with Jessica and Laura was so easy and my hair and makeup lasted all day, even in the rainy and windy Chicago weather! They are so easy and fun to talk to and made me feel so comfortable and at ease on the big day. I will go back to them for future events!!
Jessica made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life. I do not wear makeup regularly and I was very nervous that I would look overdone. She had such a soft touch and...

Jessica was amazing, the perfect person to do my hair and makeup on wedding day, as well as the bridal party! Jessica is professional, so incredibly friendly, and so willing to wo...
rk with you until you get exactly what you are looking for. She had such good suggestions, and I could not have been happier with my hair or make up on my wedding day. Jessica was such a pleasure to not only communicate with, but to have around the morning of. I am so happy we went with Jessica, and would absolutely recommend her to my closest family and friends.
I got married in June and Jess was amazing. I had 4 bridesmaids who got hair and MU, plus both my mother and MIL (and me!). Even though there were a lot of ladies to get through, J...
ess was incredibly attentive to each and really nailed all the various requests, and everyone looked gorgeous! I was especially thrilled to see my mom and MIL in beautiful makeup, feeling confident and happy going into the day. Jess did a beautiful job on a vintage-esque look for me -- I was worried I'd look too costume-y but Jess somehow found the perfect balance between vintage/modern/natural/bombshell. She is also funny and sweet and relaxed -- she definitely de-stressed the morning and made our getting ready hours fun and relaxing. Jess is the best!!!!
Jessica was so amazing! She was accommodating to all of my needs and was such a welcomed presence on my wedding day. Not only did she make me look better than I could have EVER dre...
amed, she was also helped everyone keep their calm before I had to walk (an extremely long) aisle! Jessica is truly a miracle worker and an absolute joy to work with!

. She comes to the wedding venue which is also a big plus. All the bridesmaids and my daughter loved working with her to get the look they wanted. I told her that I didn't usually wear makeup so wanted a very natural look atnd she did a perfect job. We would highly recommend her!
Jessica was AMAZING!! She got me and my 9 ladies done in record time and yet none of us felt rushed. She made sure that everyone was satisfied with their individual looks and staye...
d so cool and collected amidst the chaos of the day. I have never felt more beautiful in my life than my wedding day and I owe it all to Jess! I recommend her 100%
Jessica was amazing. As someone who was completely unsure of what she wanted for her wedding day she was instrumental in helping me find the perfect look. She was so patient during...
my hair and makeup trial spending hours helping me decide on the perfect look. Up until the big day she was always super responsive when I had questions. The day of I couldn't have asked for a better support. Not only did she reassure me when it came to my beauty needs but she was a great emotional support throughout the day as nerves were running high. We had 5 girls getting hair and makeup and her and Rose perfected every look. Highly recommend Jessica. So thankful she was recommended to us!!
Jessica was an absolute godsend! She was beautifully kind and extremely conscientious. As a woman of a certain age, on the most important day of my life, I felt and looked like a q...
ueen. Everyone in the wedding party looked like their most gorgeous self. I can't say enough about her thoughtful attention to every detail. Her skills are unequalled. She is the very best makeup artist I, or anyone else in the party, have ever worked with. 500 stars!!!
Jessica was absolutely instrumental in making me feel and look fabulous on my wedding day! She was always professional in answering all of my questions, she emailed me or called me...
back promptly and adjusted my hair and makeup schedule to all of my (numerous!) requests. During my trial she really took her time to assess all my needs and truly listened to what I was wanting to achieve. She was so personable that by the time my wedding day arrived it was like she was part of my bridal party! I enjoy her work so much, I hire her regularly when I have a special event. Day of, she arrived 15 minutes early and made sure that even my bridesmaids felt like a million bucks. We still talk about how beautiful we all looked to this day! We had a blast! I cannot recommend Jessica enough!
Jess is the bomb dot com. She's a very talented artist ❤️ 10/10 would recommend for a wedding or any other occasion. She's the best.
