Kim is beyond talented and such a delight to work with! She did my wedding hair and makeup in October 2023 and I highly recommend her.
She did hair and makeup for myself, my mom,...
my mother-in-law, my sister, and our flower girl. Everyone was styled exactly as they wanted and truly looked so gorgeous!
Kim did such a great job with mine and my wedding party's hair. I have very thin hair and didn't know what she'd be able to do with it but she pulled it off. She made me look and f...
eel so beautiful for my big day. She is also super nice and easy to talk to. I definitely recommend her!
There is no one better to trust with your hair and makeup for your big day! Kim is such an incredible person and was there at all hours when I had any questions and was able to giv...
e me, someone who honestly doesn't know much about beauty tips and tricks, the perfect look. Stunning hair and make up that still stayed true to my personality. Kim did not only my hair and make up but also my 3 bridesmaids, my mother and my now mother in law. She took the time to get to know us each and give us the perfect look. She handled each of our insecurities with discretion and understanding. We each walked away beaming with a new glow of confidence and excitement for the day ahead of us. Kim is a miracle worker. She was there helping me before we even signed a contract. She is the person you want to make you feel like a bride and the best you've ever felt. You don't need to look any further for your beauty expert. Kim is your BEST pick!
Kim was PHENOMENAL in making my wedding look vision come true. Everyone's makeup looked natural and gorgeous. I received so many compliments on my hair that night, and am so happy ...
that I chose Kim to provide hair and makeup for my bridal party. Honestly, look no further! Nothing but great things to say!
Kim did hair and makeup for my sister in law's wedding 8 years ago and I was so impressed with her that I didn't hesitate to book for my own wedding. I cannot thank Kim and Bridget...
enough for their hair and makeup services! They did such a beautiful job for me and my wedding party, making us all look our absolute best! I particularly loved the different lip color choices for my bridesmaids that fit their individual coloring and made them glow! Kim was so easy to work with, was very communicative, and professional. She and Bridget worked efficiently all morning and got us moving along right on schedule. They were our sense of calm on such an important day filled with nerves. I've already recommended Kim to my engaged friends and think you should book her today!
Kim was awesome, I could not be happier that I picked her for my wedding day. Kim was very easy to communicate with leading up to my wedding and overall was very professional. Due ...
to the size of my wedding party, she brought another stylist with her. All of my bridesmaids looked beautiful! They worked quickly as well without sacrificing quality. I loved the way Kim made my hair and makeup look. I had one tweak to my hair I requested from my trial, and she was able to accommodate perfectly. Everything held perfectly throughout the day. Kim was also so fun to have with us while we were getting ready. I highly recommend her to any bride.
Kim was absolutely amazing!! I couldn't have been happier with my hair and all of my bridesmaids and both mothers' hair looked stunning. She was able to do the exact look that ever...
yone requested, and it held very well on a windy Chicago day. Highly recommend her for your wedding!

Kim is amazing, book her now! She recently did my wedding in October 2021 and it was more than I could ever ask for. Not only is Kim professional, fun, kind, and reliable but she d...
oes outstanding work. She has been the go-to for quite a few of my friends, and friend of friends wedding. I was grateful that I was able to snag her (especially during a pandemic). Kim, we can’t thank you enough for the glam during our special day! My bridesmaids and I were incredibly happy, and our photos show it. Thank you so much!
Kim was amazing!! I used her for my June 2021 wedding and she was beyond helpful every step of the way. She helped me figure out a skincare routine that worked best with the makeup...
and she was understanding with any adjustments I had to make due to COVID. She came early on the day of my wedding and when she finished my makeup, she truly made me feel beautiful for my special day. I’m so glad I found her thanks to The Knot!
Kim was amazing! I love she's the whole package (hair and make up), she's so easy to work with and so friendly!
I was a bit nervous in the beginning, just the idea of working with...
someone you don't know in such an important day was so scary, but once we met, there was no doubt.
She was able to make my vision for hair and make up possible, even with my poor explanation of it.
Seriously, hire her, I'm so happy I found her! Extra plus: her rates are great!!!!
I am so thankful I found Kim on the knot to do mine and my bridesmaids hair for my wedding! She did an amazing job and everyone looked great. She even came to my house for my hair ...

Kim is the best! I couldn’t imagine having had anyone else style my hair and bridesmaid’s hair on my wedding day. She is truly talented. Very professional and so fun to work with. ...
She brought such good energy on our wedding day. Every bride needs a hair stylist they can trust on such an important day, and Kim is that person!
Kim did a great job doing hair and makeup for me and my bridal party. We had the trial and she asked for inspiration pics for my hair and makeup. She did exactly what I asked for, ...

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kim! She was absolutely fantastic. Thorough, gave great advice, and did an unbelievable job on my biggest day! I have very little knowledg...
e about hair and makeup and was kind of clueless as to what i wanted. She gave the best advice that was perfect for me. We had a late start at our venue and she was so accommodating! Brought a great team to help meet our timeline. I would recommend her to anyone.
Kim did a beautiful job on my and my bridal party's makeup the day of the wedding. She is kind, personable, and listens to what each person prefers for their own makeup style. I w...

out or make-up. She was very professional and super personable! Kim had a partner come help the day of the wedding since we had a larger party and her make-up matched so perfectly. She made sure that everyone felt comfortable and safe with the pandemic going on. I would definitely recommend her to other brides!
Kim was friendly, flexible and absolutely AMAZING! She came to the hotel we were staying at and did the makeup for me, 2 of my bridesmaids, my mom and my grandmother. One of brides...
maids LOVED the way Kim did my maid of honors eye shadow that she decided last minute that she too wanted to get her makeup done and Kim did not bat an eye, she said of course and did her eye shadow. She is truly an artist everyone look beautiful and she did not leave until everyone got touched up before photos. I highly recommend Kim for wedding day makeup!!
Kim was awesome - so happy to have her do my hair and makeup for my wedding. She also did my maid of honor, niece, and mom's hair and makeup - and she did all of this in my hotel r...
oom with 12 other fun (yet loud) cousins, aunts, and friends coming and going. She's a pro and kept her cool - even accommodating a last minute full makeup request from one of my sisters who originally opted out, but saw Kim's work on others and wanted her makeup done, too. I planned from out of state and Kim was flexible with scheduling and fit me in for a trial on one of my trips home to Chicago. Would definitely recommend her!
Kim was absolutely great to work with from day one! She was so easy to work with from scheduling trials to the actual wedding day. One thing I appreciated is that she really lis...
tens to your ideas of what you are looking for for your wedding day but also had the right balance of suggestions. My hair stayed in place all night as well as the second bride’s hair and our daughter’s curls were perfect. She was always prompt, prepared and super efficient. We were very glad to have Kim be part of our special day…..THANKS KIM!
Kim was absolutely wonderful!
I have very thick and wavy hair and she was able to get it all pulled back without looking tied down to my head or using one hundred bobby pins. Not ...
many stylists can work with my hair because of its thickness but Kim had no problem. She was also wonderful to have with us in the morning! She and her team were laughing and joking with us all morning and arrived early and prepared!
Cannot praise her enough!
Kim was excellent every step of the way! She is incredibly professional. She arrives on time, sets up quickly, and gets right to business. She truly focuses on providing an outstan...
ding service and is not distracted by everything going on around her.
Kim was more than willing to accommodate an early start time. She completed everyone on schedule and exceeded expectations. Additionally, my wedding day was about 100 degrees and everyone's hair and makeup lasted beautifully throughout the entire day.
I would highly recommend Kim for anyone looking for someone to do their hair and/or makeup! Thanks Kim!
Kim was great and wonderful, she was very professional from the start. She was on time and set up right away. Her skills were put to the test and she passed with flying colors. M...
y makeup was greatly done, she did my daughter makeup and 4 of my bridesmaids.
I can go on and on about how great of a job she had done. Kim has prices that cannot be match and with her talent is above any other makeup and hairstylist.
She is open to ideas and changes. So I would say overall Kim is someone you should go with. Thank you Kim for making my day a special one.
Kim was absolutely wonderful! Not only was she able/willing to accommodate my early start time and large party, she did an amazing job. Hair and makeup were both still intact aft...

Kim was fantastic! She did such a great job on my hair and make up for my wedding, everyone loved my look! I am super picky about my face and she made me feel so confident! Not to ...
mention the fact that I had an allergic reaction the night before my wedding! Even with all of that going on, Kim assured me she would be able to hide it! I am so thankful that she was there and able to calm me down!! My bridesmaids loved their make up and hair, as well! This woman knows exactly what she is doing and truly exceeded my expectations! I recommend everyone use her for their wedding!
Kim did a great job!
She took into account everyone’s general ideas and ran with them. She made everyone look beautiful. She did a great job with my three year olds hair as well. ...
She was on time and left room at the end for maintenance which was great.
I’d highly recommend her to anyone for their wedding !
Kim was wonderful. From initial contact to the day of she was wonderful.
I had two make up trials with her that she was happy to do based on if I was going to leave my skin pale...
or receive a spray tan. She also made it easy as she traveled to my house for each. She was able to tweak and remembered the spots I considered trouble areas.
I didn't want an early start, so she was able to recruit another stylist for the wedding to not have us up by 7 am.
I would def recommend Kim for your hair and make up services!
Kim was amazing to work with! During my trial I showed her one picture for my hair and makeup and explained what I wanted and she executed it better than I could have imagined! I h...

is very professional and easy going. She was accommodating before and on my wedding day. I highly recommend Kim for hair and make up to any bride getting married. I promise each bride that chooses Kim will be extremely satisfied!
I got married last Saturday (Oct 21st) and the first thing in the morning can really set your day. Kim arrived on time, set up, and got started with my schedule! She was so easy to...
communicate with (mostly emails) and really makes you feel comfortable and confident. There were no hidden fees, no miscommunication, she confirmed my trial and day of times, and I would use her again in a heartbeat! I highly highly recommend Kim, she does great work and wants YOU to be happy with the results and she won't stop until you get there. I prefer the airbrush makeup, it lasts all day and then some, plus she gives you the lip color to take with so you can touch up throughout the day. Thank you for making my wedding party and myself look beautiful!!
Kim did a fabulous job on a soft half up half down style for my wedding day. She was flexible and did exactly what I asked for - I loved it! She was great to work with!
Kim is absolutely the best! She is so easy and professional to work with and I was so in love with my gorgeous hair and stunning airbrush makeup! My favorite part of my look were t...

l that she really cared about making me feel my best on my wedding day! She also did the hair and makeup for my bridal party and mom and everyone loved her.

Kim did makeup for my wedding. She worked so efficiently to complete all 7 of my bridesmaids, the MOB, and myself with the tight time constraints due to my early ceremony. She is e...
xtremely professional, artistic, friendly, and does exactly what you want. I've actually used Kim on 3 occasions now for makeup (2 other times as a bridesmaid). Each time I am so incredibly pleased with my makeup. Even by the end of the night after dancing, I still look amazing! And the eyelashes never fall off! My Mom used her for the airbrush and she loved it! I cannot stress enough of what a beautiful job she did on my own wedding day. She made me look flawless. I looked natural and beautiful - just what I wanted!! Kim is the only person I would ever hire to do my makeup professionally. Not to mention her resume of past experience doing makeup in LA puts her above the rest of anyone else out there! Kim is a MUST have on your wedding day!!!!
I am very particular about my hair. It is the one thing that I will consistently spend more money on when it comes to self care, because if my hair doesn't look good, I don't feel ...
good. So when I got engaged, I knew immediately that I wanted to use Kim Piech as my Hair Stylist for my wedding. I had previously been the Maid of Honor in a wedding that Kim was the Hair Stylist for, and I knew firsthand what an amazing job she does at making your hair look amazing (and in turn you FEEL amazing), and Kim certainly did not disappoint for my wedding day.
Kim was prompt in her response to my request for availability on my wedding date and extremely communicative throughout the whole process. I had a hair trial a few months out from my wedding day, which was so helpful to try out what I had been thinking I wanted my style to be. She came to my house, discussed what my style ides were, and just hung out and talked as she worked on my hair.
On the day of my wedding, I had decided to make a few adjustments to what we had done in my trial, and it was like Kim had read my mind - it turned out EXACTLY as I had hoped for my special day. AND it lasted all day - which for a half up, half down curly style can be tricky, but not for Kim. She even re-curled several pieces for me before she left to ensure that my hair was perfect.
As a gift to my bridesmaids, I paid to have Kim do their hair as well, and not only did they all look amazing, their styles lasted all day/night as well!
I felt like a princess on my wedding day, and that is due, in huge part, to Kim. I highly recommend Kim Piech to any Chicagoland area bride. She is friendly, easy to talk to, listens to your ideas and concerns, and delivers an amazing end product that WILL last your WHOLE wedding day.
I had Kim do my hair for my wedding and she did an amazing job!! We had 2 trials and after the 2nd one I knew she was the one!! She was super sweet, very talented and was wonderful...
to work with! She made me feel and look beautiful! I highly recommend Kim Piech!
Kim did a great job with all of my bridesmaids, mothers, and my makeup and hair. She was easy to work with and everyone loved her work!

air and make-up artist for my May 7, 2016 wedding and found her on the Knot. After reading many good reviews, I decided to go with her. WOW she did an incredible job!!! I had a trial run and she listened to exactly what I wanted and captured the look perfectly. Somehow she did an even better job for the day of. I absolutely loved how I looked and I felt so beautiful. She somehow managed to get myself, my mother, and my 7 bridesmaids' hair and make-up done (with the help of an assistant) in just a few hours. Everyone was ready on time and all the girls loved the way they looked. My hair and make-up lasted all day, even after several hours of dancing and celebrating. I cannot recommend Kim highly enough! She was wonderful and so fun to work with!!!
Wedding: May 23, 2015
Kim was great. She was very easy to work with especially since I live in Pittsburgh and the wedding was in Chicago. We had to do all the planning long dist...
ance! For both the hair trial and the day of she traveled to my mothers house with all the tools she needed. She was able to do hair and make up for everyone in the party who wanted. Even on the day of the wedding I had a last minute change of heart on my hairstyle and she was able to nail exactly the look I wanted. I would definently recommend Kim!
My co-worker referred me to Kim for my wedding makeup. She and her bridal party used her on her wedding day. Since she raved about Kim and the awesome job she did, I reached out to...
contract her for my wedding day. Kim was very flexible in coordinating a makeup trial. The cost of the trial was fair and a portion of it went towards my personal makeup deposit. She came to my house and I was able to get the exact look I wanted. She offered to do hair as well but I already had a family friend set for the task. She offered both traditional and air brushed looks. As the bride, I opted for air brushed which turned out amazing in photos. I also loved the lashes she used. She placed little bunches on my lash line. They were barely noticeable, looked more natural, and were extremely comfortable. She was a lovely personality and easy to get along with. She is versatile in her style so if you want simplistic beauty for your big day or want to be so dolled up that no one recognizes you, she can do the job. My bridal party loved her work as well. She was efficient in completing all our makeup in time (6 total). Overall, I would highly recommend her!
From the very beginning Kim was great to work with. She was very responsive and accommodating - even was able to make it work with a change of wedding date!
My trial was smooth a...
nd fun - Kim came to my house with everything and was able to interpret my ideas for hair and makeup and make them work for me. I felt very confident in her and was really excited to have her for my wedding day.
On the day of the wedding, she was right on time and did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, Mom and I. Just looking from pictures that the girls showed her, she was able to make it all work and look great. Kim truly is talented! Everyone looked beautiful! I was so happy with my hair and makeup and felt the best I could have on my wedding day.
Kim was easy to work with and perceptive to everything I asked for. The Airbrush was flawless, my eyes were smokey and beautiful. I received many make-up compliments on my wedding ...
