Lilly’s Bridal Hair and Makeup

I really cannot express how amazing Lilly and her team are. From the communication, scheduling, and logistics to the day of services and experience, everything went perfectly. Mary does most of the communicating. She is so nice and understanding of not responding immediately, but she is extremely prompt in her responses. Trial and day of the wedding was great. Lilly's work is impeccable and so was the rest of her team's work. Everyone loved their looks. Not only was their work great, but they also were a complete joy the day of the wedding. They made us laugh and made the day even more fun. You will not regret booking them!

Lilly and her team are phenomenal people! From the very beginning communication was fantastic and all of my questions were answered quickly. Lilly made me feel and look so beautiful on my wedding day! My girls and my mom also looked gorgeous! Lilly and her team are truly talented people and I would recommend them over and over again to everyone.

Lilly is an absolute sweetheart + such a dream to work with. She did my makeup for our engagement photos, my trial and our wedding day. I literally kept it on until I had to take it off because I was going to bed because she made me feel like a princess every single time & let me tell you, it stayed perfect ALL DAY LONG. I was lucky enough to book early and got the dream team of Lilly and Heather to do our wedding day glam! All the girls loved the whole crew. They truly cared about making me comfortable along with anyone who had some hesitation about getting hair or makeup done as a lot of us had never had professional make up done before and are all very no makeup/natural look girlies. I have recommended her to so many people and will continue to share her name anywhere and everywhere I can. I'm waiting for something special to come up again so I can hang out with Lilly and have her make me beautiful all over again. Seriously can't recommend her enough, go book her!!! Also super special shout out to her admin, Mary! She is SO organized and communicates so well. If you give her all the info she needs, she will be so accommodating and give you so many details there's no way you can't feel at ease with this team! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Lilly and her team were absolutely phenomenal!! Having a big bridal party it was important for me to book a team that has established artists and can accommodate many women. Lilly and her team delivered and were even ahead of schedule!! Working with Lilly was amazing - I don’t have enough words for her. she was so great at the trial and the day of was even better! We were laughing the entire morning and it felt like getting ready with a friend. Lilly even gave me an impromptu haircut because I felt the length was a little too long. If you want a solid team that’s extremely professional, adheres to timelines, is flexible to whatever you need and is a ton of fun, definitely book LBHM!!!

I cant say enough good things about my experience with Lilly’s Bridal Hair and Makeup. Lilly did an amazing job on my hair and make up, I felt beautiful all day long. All my ladies looked phenomenal!! Everything was such a smooth and easy process from the very beginning. Lilly and her team are ORGANIZED!! I am so impressed with the level of professionalism these ladies have. You are in good hands if you book with them!! I truly cannot recommend them enough!!

It gives me great pleasure to speak so highly about the fabulous Lilly and her team at Lilly's Bridal Hair and Makeup! She is a true professional and her talent is inspiring to say the least. What a kind soul with a gracious and loving heart. I am so lucky I had her, Nichole, Jenny be a part of our wedding day! I found Lilly through The Knot and wanted to hire her for my engagement photo sessions. My GOODNESS was I blessed she was available for our wedding date because she was absolutely incredible. She made me feel so gorgeous and beautiful and I will forever be grateful for all her attention to detail and care. She was so excited to be a part of our wedding day and I was so lucky to have her by myself. I can't begin to express how easy, caring and friendly she is. She truly cares about you as a client and the people around you. Her team was super professional and made EVERYONE look stunning!!! My gals were so complimentary and loved all she and her team to make us literally look PERFECT. My mom, who does not get her make-up or hair done professionally often was in deep emotions as she wanted to look so beautiful as the Mother of the Bride and she truly did! Also, major shout out to Mary who was so professional and organized. She was easy to work with and on top of everything to keep the day of details on track. I would recommend her 1000% to any Brides looking for hair and make-up. She truly over exceeded far expectations. The trial was incredible but the wedding day was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!

If I could give 100 stars I would! Lilly is AMAZING at bridal hair & makeup! Not only did I have an absolutely wonderful experience at the trial but all of my bridesmaids and the mother of the bride/groom looked stunning thanks to her team! This group is extremely professional and they know what they are doing when it comes to looking gorgeous!! All of the bridesmaids wanted different looks for hair and makeup, and they absolutely delivered! If you want to feel like a stunning bride, choose this company for your wedding party hair & makeup!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am absolutely thrilled to write a glowing review for Lilly's Bridal Hair and Makeup, who played a pivotal role in making my wedding day absolutely perfect. From start to finish, Lilly and her team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, patience, and skill that made the experience truly remarkable. Lilly is a gem. Her patience, friendliness, and kindness were immediately evident during the trial and carried through to the wedding day. As someone who is not accustomed to using makeup and is unfamiliar with the terminology, I greatly appreciated Lilly's willingness to patiently explain everything to me. Her ability to make me feel comfortable and at ease was truly remarkable. One of my initial concerns was finding the perfect foundation match as a woman of color. Lilly's skill in this regard was truly impressive; she matched my foundation flawlessly, making me feel radiant and confident on my special day. Her expertise and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of her work. What truly amazed me was how well my makeup held up, even during our scorching outdoor ceremony in 95+ degree heat and through a few tears of joy. Lilly's work truly stood the test of time and the elements. Mary was also outstanding. Mary's professionalism and organization were top-notch. She ensured that everything ran smoothly, and the timeline she set up was absolutely perfect. Thanks to the team’s efficiency and expertise, we were all ready at just the right time, allowing us to enjoy the day stress-free. Overall, I can't thank Lilly's Bridal Hair and Makeup enough for their incredible work. They played a significant role in making me and my bridal party look and feel our best on the most important day of our lives. If you're seeking a team that is not only highly skilled but also patient, friendly, and kind, look no further than Lilly's Bridal Hair and Makeup. They are truly exceptional. Thank you, LBHM for your outstanding work and for being part of our special day.

I was lucky enough to work with Lilly's Bridal for multiple events during my Pakistani-American fusion wedding (bridal shower, mehndi/sangeet, and wedding day) and I can honestly say that Lilly and her team crushed it!!! I felt so beautiful at all my events and the ladies in our bridal party looked so stunning on the wedding day. We had about 22 ladies in the bridal party and Lilly and her team were able to keep us on schedule and get everyone ready on time which we really appreciated. Not only that but Lilly's team was so fun to work with and they made us all laugh and have a great time while they glammed us up. I would highly recommend Lilly's Bridal to anyone getting married and would definitely recommend booking her for any pre-wedding events you have as well! She did a different makeup look for each event and they all came out so beautifully!

I am SO glad I booked with this team. Lilly was so incredible & knowledgeable. I wasn't 100% sure what I wanted but Lilly helped me get there. She offers a trial, which was so great because my makeup look changed a lot afterwards! On the day of the wedding, she came with suggestions and I felt sooo beautiful. My bridesmaids & moms also got their hair/makeup done and everyone was so happy with their looks. Huge bonus points for the fact that everyone's hair/makeup looked incredible all night long! We were all in our looks for 12+ hours and they still looked great. I felt like they were really reasonably priced & true professionals. I'd book them a million times over!

Could not recommend Lilly and her team anymore, absolutely loved them! She was very easy to communicate with and made deadlines super clear. My trial with her was so fun and easy-going, it was like having my hair and makeup done by one of my friends. The morning of my wedding Lilly and her team were all set up once I got to the hotel and they were so fun and relaxing, my bridal party and I loved talking with them. They made everyone look absolutely gorgeous too, no one said anything negative about their hair or makeup the whole day. And it stays on for MANY hours. Couldn't recommend her more and I wish I could redo my wedding day all over again with Lilly and her team! Definitely go GLAM with Lilly, she loves a good glam look!

Lilly was INCREDIBLE. I used Lilly for my special day and I am SO happy I did. She made me feel so beautiful. She was fun to talk to and really knew what would work best for the people who weren’t sure of what would work best for them. She set my face so well, I was impressed. Even after tears and sweat, my face really held up well. Will definitely keep her in mind for any weddings I might be in in the future.

I found Lilly using The Knot, so I wanted to make sure I left a review for other brides as well! I can barely find the words to share how happy I was that Lilly was a part of my wedding day! I had a few unsuccessful makeup trials before I was lucky enough to find Lilly, and the second I met Lilly, I knew I was in good hands! My entire bridal party looked and felt incredible, and my bridal makeup lasted through a day of rain, snow, laughter, and happy tears. I could not recommend Lilly's Bridal Hair and Makeup more!

When I tell you my wedding day was windy... it was WINDY! Despite that, my hair and makeup lasted ALL DAY! I don't know how Lilly and her team did it. After spending a full day outside for photos and ceremony, my and my my bridesmaids hair and makeup still looked FABULOUS! Lilly and her team do such incredible work and are so fun to work with! Lilly is THE hype woman you need on your day. She makes you feel so special and beautiful. I truly can not thank her enough.

Lilly and her amazing glam squad love what they do. They make you feel relaxed and beautiful. Lilly and her team were so easy to communicate with and I couldn't be more happier with the final results. I highly recommend Lilly's Bridal for your wedding day!

Lilly and her glam squad were absolutely amazing! They made my bridesmaids, mother, mother-in-law, and myself all look absolutely beautiful and were so fun to work with on the morning of my wedding. I asked for two small changes with my makeup after the trial and Lilly did a fantastic job getting exactly what I had in mind on the day of. I thought my hair and makeup were perfect and you would never know I only got 3 hours of sleep the night before! That is how you know she has talent! Lilly was also very organized and kept everything exactly on schedule. I am so happy I chose Lilly's Bridal Hair and Makeup to achieve my wedding day look and would highly recommend them to anyone who asks. Thanks Lilly!

An easy 5 stars and a highly recommended team! Lilly and her team provided hair and make up services on my wedding day, and they did an amazing job! I met with Lilly twice leading up to my wedding day. The first time I met Lilly, she had kindly offered to meet with me because I was contemplating on renting extensions from her. Lilly didn't want me to commit to something without having a visual, so she agreed to meet with me and let me try the extensions on. I am so glad Lilly gave me this opportunity because we both agreed my hair was long and thick enough to accomplish the wedding day look I wanted without having to use extensions! The second time I met Lilly was for my hair and make up trial, which I brought my cousin and best friend along with. The trial was SO FUN. Lilly is so personable, kind, and funny - the trial day was filled with a lot of belly laughs! On my wedding day, I made a last minute request to change the way my bun was styled. Lilly quickly and easily pivoted to give me the bun that I wanted without any complaints! I was beyond obsessed with my hair and make up on my wedding day - I have never felt prettier in my life! Not only did my hair and make up look amazing, it both lasted ALL DAY AND NIGHT LONG. I was honestly so shocked that my hair hadn't fallen out after all the dancing and sweating, haha! I cannot recommend Lilly and her team enough! If you're looking for a HMU vendor that is extremely organized (shout out to their admin Mary!), friendly, and skilled, look no further!

I'M SPEECHLESS. I don't know how else to say it. Lilly and her team did an amazing job on my wedding day! I honestly could not have done it without her. She made me feel and look so beautiful. As well as my bridesmaids and family! She over exceeded my expectations. I showed her the hair and makeup I wanted and it looked so much better than the pictures! Lilly and her whole team is so talented, funny, and reasonably priced. I literally recommended her to all my friends and all my friends used her and they were so happy. The hair and makeup lasted THE WHOLE NIGHT. Not kidding...I was surprised since I sweated and cried so much and it was flawless up until the next day! We had a brunch and my hair and makeup stayed perfect. I mean just look at the pictures on her page..it says it all. So does all of the reviews. What are you waiting for? BOOK THEM. The girls were close to my age group and we had such a blast getting ready. It felt like they were part of the bridal party! Seriously can't say enough. Best makeup and hair artist team. Especially Lilly she is one of a kind!

Lilly, Heather and Bertha completely knocked it out of the park for my wedding!! They were absolutely a blast to work with and they made me and my girls look absolutely amazing!!! I loved Lilly’s organization - as a type A personality, if really relieved a lot of stress knowing that they come up with a timeline for the day of. I also loved that after the hair and makeup up trial, they give suggestions of what they think could be better for the day of. They were absolutely amazing and I could not imagine what I would have done without them!!! ☺️☺️☺️

Lilly and her team are worth all the hype in the world! Their work is unmatched. Lilly is so talented, and flexible. I wanted my hair and makeup slightly different than how I had them done and trial and Lilly got them both just right for my wedding. My bridesmaids and my mom and MIL were all so happy with their looks. The makeup and hair lasted the entire night, even after an outdoor ceremony with some rain and dancing for hours on the dance floor during the reception. Lilly is so fun to work with and her team adds such a positive energy to the room when getting ready. She does beautiful work, she is organized, punctual, kind, and receptive. You will not be disappointed with Lilly and her team as your HMUA!

Lilly and her team were incredible. Leading up to our event their organization was unmatched. I felt prepared and reassured that everything would go to plan. My girls looked their absolute best and felt so confident!! We got so many compliments on our hair and makeup. Lilly and Heather are so beyond talented. Thanks again!!!💞

Lilly and her team are the absolute best! They make you feel so welcome and really hype you up for your wedding day. The hair and makeup they do is absolutely stunning! My girls and I all looked so beautiful and I cannot thank them enough for their amazing work. So so talented!! Love you ladies!!

Lilly and her talented team did the most amazing job for my wedding in May! They did the hair and makeup for all 10 of us and everyone looked absolutely beautiful!I can't say enough positive things about my experience working with Lilly. She is the sweetest person you will ever meet, and her talented team were so fun to work with. I highly recommend you book LBHM for your wedding hair and makeup! Thank you again for everything LBHM team, forever grateful 🤍

Lilly and her team did the hair and makeup for myself, bridal party & mother's of honor for my wedding as well as my hair and makeup for my engagement photos. Lilly is so awesome to work with - she's nice, easy to talk to, and felt like a friend when we were getting ready! She and the team did an AMAZING job making everyone look their best for my special day. We were down an artist due to a personal emergency and she still ensured we got everyone covered and finished according to schedule, which was amazing. I cannot recommend Lilly's Bridal Hair and Makeup enough!

Lilly and her crew did such a beautiful job for my party and mothers. Everyone looked better than we ever could have hoped. I truly have never felt more beautiful in my life. Would definitely recommend.

Lilly and her team were amazing for our wedding day! All of the girls were so thrilled with their hair and make-up... including ME!! We looked amazing in our wedding photos and got multiple compliments. Lilly and her team are really responsive and answer questions quickly. Thank you so much for your flexibility, great communication, and reliability! We would recommend Lilly and her team 100%.

Lily and her team were top notch! They were punctual, professional, friendly - the list of positive adjectives goes on and on! :-) They're a very talented team who will make you look and feel your best. Lily does a great job offering suggestions and feedback on what she thinks would look best (without being pushy!) The team will do everything they can to make sure you're happy with your looks. Lily was so patient with me when i had a million questions or would second guess what i wanted the day of. Highly recommend Lily and her team! :) (Vendor communication was also top notch as well! Planning a wedding isn't the easiest and having vendors who are so communicative is SUCH a plus!)

I would recommend every bride to work with Lilly and her team if you can! Choosing vendors is hard enough, and then I came across Lilly's team who handles BOTH hair and makeup (beautifully), and at a GREAT price compared to so many others. The girls were so much fun to spend our morning of the wedding with, and all of my girls looked flawless! I cant imagine trusting the biggest day of my life with anyone else - I felt so beautiful! Already recommended my friend to book for her wedding, and plan to tell anyone else the second they get engaged to try to score Lilly's team - they're booking up quick!

I could not be happier that I chose Lilly and her team! Her staff was incredibly communicative throughout all the changes caused by COVID, including our wedding getting postponed. She did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup. My hair is very thin and frizzy but she was able to make my updo look full and smooth. Lilly and Heather also made my bridesmaids, mom, and grandma look fabulous! They are great with different types of hair and skin. They were very patient with my mom and grandma who had never had their hair or makeup done before and made them feel beautiful. I would recommend Lilly and her team to any bride!

Lilly and her team are AMAZING. I am so happy I found them for my wedding day. Overall, they were great with communicating and making sure everything was set for the big day. Lilly is so friendly and kind, she was a joy to work with during my trial and the day of the wedding. I ended up requesting a few changes from my trial and Lilly nailed it - I have literally never felt so beautiful. I wish she could do my hair and make up every day. My bridesmaids also looked stunning and had nothing but great things to say about Lilly and Jenny. Hair and make up made it through the whole day looking great for both me and my bridesmaids and the moms. I would 100000% recommend this team to anyone and everyone. Thanks for everything, Lilly and team!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I loved loved loved working with these ladies for my wedding. My girls all looked absolutely gorgeous and I have never felt so beautiful. They were so great to work with, especially with all the changes with Covid and a couple changes leading up to it that they worked with me on. Lilly was so calm with me while I was freaking out before the ceremony over all the set up for the ceremony and reception. I don't think I would have been as patient with me but she was amazing. I highly recommend them!!!

Lilly and her team were wonderful! Was a pleasure working with them and was very happy with my wedding day look. Overall great communication and would very much recommend Lilly and her team! She listened well with tweaks I had after my trail and really appreciated her communication leading up to the big day especially with changes that occurred on both ends due to Covid and needing to reschedule my wedding.

I am SO happy I found Lilly and her team for wedding day hair and makeup for myself and our wedding party. Lilly goes out of her way for each and every bride- she gave suggestions for my mom and her short hair, she asked for detailed trial feedback, offered suggestions, and incorporated all changes, communicated honestly and frequently. Being a COVID bride with a postponed wedding, my experience moving the wedding with Lilly was one of the most seamless experiences! She is so understanding and real- I felt truly taken care of. Finally, their work is top knotch with competitive pricing. High quality products, they are able to do so many different hairstyles beautifully, and makeup is flawless. Hair and makeup stayed in tact all day for all of us, even in over 90 degree weather and humidity, until 1am! Thank you, Lilly and team! Cannot recommend you all enough. 💗💗💗

Lilly and her fabulous glam squad were seriously unbelievable! I cannot even begin to explain how amazing everyone did! They made us all feel so glamorous and I am so grateful for that! They came in with such a positive attitude and were totally pumping us up and their energy was contagious! They truly transformed my entire bridal party and me to feel like the most beautiful and confident versions of ourselves. We could not be more thankful for them and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

Due to COVID, I had to quickly find another hair and makeup stylist in a short amount of time. I came across LBHM and took a chance on them, so glad I did!! They were wonderful with communication, quick with responses, and clear on expectations and guidelines. I had Lilly and she was absolutely fantastic. She did a superb job on my hair and makeup for my big day and I am so thankful I found her. I went in with minimal expectations as I was a bit unsure of what I wanted and she blew it out of the park. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day thanks to LBHM.

Notn only did Lilly and her team (Eliza and Heather) made our wedding day preparations fun, but they are masters of their art. The LBHM team was proactive and transparent throughout the planning process and helped me craft my day-of-schedule well in advance of wedding day. They helped coordinate my trial and nailed the look I was aiming for on their first try (hair and makeup). They were also open to feedback and asked many questions to ensure I had the exact look I desired for my big day. Planning a wedding through COVID circumstances in 2020 was challenging, but it was much easier working with the LBHM team. They created best practices and over communicated to their couples far in advance to ensure we could prepare for our trials and wedding day in a safe way. On wedding day, Lilly, Heather, and Eliza walked in and warmed up our whole party. They jumped right into our group's wedding day celebration and made it even more fun. They were warm, welcoming, and made sure everyone (me the bride, my bridesmaids, maids of honor, and mom) was 100% excited about their hair and makeup look. Lilly, Heather, and Eliza had the right experience and skillset to customize all of our makeup and hair to our slight unique styles...so we all looked uniform but had a look that fit each of us best. They also kept our group safe by taking safe hygiene preacuations and wearing their masks for hours while they did our hair and makeup, helping our small group feel comfortable. They were so much fun that we were almost sad to see them go once we finished getting ready! My hair and makeup lasted the entire day and they gave me little lipstick samples to ensure I could look my best the entire evening. If you are looking to invest in your look on the one day of a zillion pictures and you want to work with a service-oriented, organized, proactive, and fun group, then work with LBHM! Can't say enough about this wonderful team and will definitely give them a call for any other future big events around Chicago.

Lilly & Elisa did such an amazing job making me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day! They accommodated my request to meet a little earlier than planned the day of the wedding😄I received many compliments on my hair and makeup especially since it was an outdoor wedding and so humid out. Thanks again LBHM💕

Lilly and Elisa, thank you so much for your hair and makeup magic on my wedding date! I couldn't be happier with my hair and makeup for my wedding ceremony on 08/16/2020. Lilly and Elisa were efficient, professional, and so fun to work with! Lilly and her team were great with communication along the way and her pricing/packaging is very reasonable!! They did an amazing job and all my bridesmaids were happy with their hair and makeup looks! I can't wait to work with her again next year for our postponed reception date!

THE BEST HMUAs!! I could give LBHM a trillion bazillion stars, and it would not be enough! Lilly and Elisa got me and my 2 sisters, mom, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law ready for my four-day Indian Wedding! On the day of the wedding, the rest of her team came to help out because there were 7 additional bridesmaids getting glammed up. Everything was perfect every single day! When I started looking for makeup and hair artists, I was overwhelmed. As an Indian bride, I did not want to have a typical Indian bridal look (generally this involves heavier makeup). Most of the makeup artists I looked into who had done Indian weddings previously had heavier bridal looks; but I knew these artists knew how to handle the tikka, heavy bridal jewelry, and the heavy embroidered veil. I was torn. I came across LBHM through a mutual friend, and I knew I loved the makeup and hairstyles; however, I was worried of the lack of experience with Indian brides. When I first contacted Lilly, she was very straightforward with me; she let me know that she had never done a traditional Indian wedding before. However, I knew she was determined to learn! She let me know that she would be taking a class for Indian veil and tikka placement; and we would be able to perfect everything at my trial. I trusted her, and it was the best decision I ever made!!!! Lilly knew exactly what pins to use for my veil. Even with the heavy flower garland around my neck, the hair, and veil stayed in place! She helped pin my jewelry so that also wouldn’t move. She knew to use eyelash glue to make sure all of our tikkas didn’t move during our garba (dancing event) night. Elisa’s makeup was amazing as well; it stayed on for hours even through all the dancing, sweating, rain, and crying. At the end of the day, it looked the same as it did when she had first put it on. On top of that, it doesn’t even feel like we had makeup on for 4 days straight; the products she uses are great and make your skin feel hydrated. Additionally, they were so accommodating with our time schedules every single day and the styles we wanted. There would be changes we made with the styles we wanted; they never made it seem like it was a big deal. On top of that, she was super organized; we had 11 people getting ready including myself for a target time of 7AM on my wedding day. Lilly and Elisa are very professional and so warm and friendly at the same time; they feel like part of the family. So easy to get along with and so much fun to be around on your wedding day. Have you ever met a glam team so excited to be there at 3AM?? My sisters, Mom and I always talk about reliving my wedding, just so Lilly and Elisa can glam us up again! If I ever need my hair or makeup done again, I am definitely going back to them! They are simply the BEST.

We absolutely loved Lilly's Bridal Hair and Makeup for our 3/7/2020 wedding! They were punctual, professional, and fun to work with. My wife and I both had big parties - around 10+ women needed their hair and make up down. Lilly's was able to accomodate all of us getting ready in such a reasonable time manner and well before we needed to go. They made us look so beautiful and the rest of our day went perfect; they helped set the tone for an amazing and unforgettable day.

So far I only had my trial done for my wedding hair but Lilly was such a joy and it turned out beautifully. She was honest about what would work good for my wedding day since the original style I picked would be too loose for the swing dance that my fiance and I are planning for our first dance. I really appreciated her honesty and her knowledge and I completely trust her for my wedding in July :)

Lilly and her entire team were fantastic -- best in the Northern suburbs BY FAR!!! The run-down: she will meet and exceed your expectations, providing fantastic service and make you feel like Cinderella on your wedding day! Book her. Book her now!!! The nitty-gritties: Overall: I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day! Seriously, Lilly (hair) and Elissa (makeup) made me feel like a freaking model!!! And I never feel that confident in myself! lol They made my short (shoulder length), thin hair look full, long, and voluminous!!! My makeup held up all night long -- even through a bunch of kissing photos and being outside in the cold, wet, and windy January weather. Lilly made me feel soo comfortable as well and kinda like she was doing make up for an old friend!! I felt like I was in the best hands and she definitely made sure I walked into my wedding day feeling as confident and stunning as possible!! Thank you sooo much Lilly & Elissa!!! <3 Pricing: incredibly fair for the services!! As of the fall of 2019 she was charging in the about $85 for airbrush makeup with lashes and about $85 for hair. Other places were quote higher than that and lashes were added!! Plus the level of craftsmanship is amazing -- especially for the price! Variety of looks: other hair artists I looked at really only seemed to do 1 type of look... especially for updos!! Some of my bridesmaids had their hair up and some down and all of their looks were individual for them and turned out beautifully! Several of my gals have long, generally frizzy hair and Lilly's team was able to manage that perfectly to keep their hair looking sleek and well kept all day long!!! Makeup, I went for a more glam look, and some of my bridesmaids went more natural -- Lilly's team totally pulled it off and made sure each makeup looked great for each gal! What if my hair or makeup day of isn't what I wanted or one of my bridesmaids wanted??? Lilly's team worked to swiftly fix one of my bridesmaids hair who didn't get what she originally wanted. Lilly and her team were incredibly understanding and just made sure we didn't leave the hotel until we all loved our looks! Longevity of hair & makeup: The bridal party photos were outside in windy and wet conditions (snow flurries as it was January). Some of my hair pieces fell but that was totally expected for 2 reasons -- the wind was hard and my hair already struggles to hold a curl! So this wasn't a deal breaker for me! For my oily skin brides and brides with acne scars -- consider doing traditional foundation. Lilly told me airbrush was best for dryer skinned women who wanted lighter coverage, and even though that wasn't my skin at all I still went with it because it seemed like the fancier option! However, looking back I think traditional make up would have suited me better -- which Lilly told me and I just ignored! So that's on me, regardless, I still LOVED my makeup -- that would just be something I would've changed if I did it again! Only negative: in some photos some gals did have noticeable flash-back under their eyes. I'm not sure if this was the type of flash my photographer was using or because of a makeup technique (as I didn't have flashback and my mother in law did & we had 2 different makeup artists). Regardless, if this concerns you, I'm sure talking to Lilly will resolve it. As they may be able to adjust their products or techniques to avoid this for all of your gals!!

I could not recommend Lilly enough!! We just got our wedding photos and everyone looks AMAZING! Our hair and makeup could not have been perfect. Lilly and her team listened to exactly what I wanted and it turned out better than I could have expected. They did the same for our flower girls, bridesmaids, and moms. Everybody loved how they looked! A few of my bridesmaids have been in a lot of weddings and each said this was the best wedding hair and makeup they have ever had. Lilly and Elisa made me feel comfortable from the moment I met them for my trial. The whole team fit in so well while we getting ready. We had 12 people getting their hair and makeup done and they were able to have everyone done on time and the whole morning felt so relaxed! I hope the next time I'm a bridesmaid, they use Lilly so I can have her do my hair again!

FIVE STARS IS NOT ENOUGH!!! Lilly and her team made my wedding day!!! They are so sweet and so talented. They are the perfect amount of professional and warm. The morning of my wedding was like having our hair and make up done by incredibly skilled friends. Their energy was perfect and a wonderful addition to the morning. My bridesmaids, moms, grandma and I all loved their work. I stood up in a lot wedding before my own, and I would seriously give them 5,000 stars if I could!!!

I LOVED working with Lilly. We went to high school together and I knew about her bridal beauty business from social media. I wanted to support local businesses as much as possible with my wedding, so I decided to book Lilly. I had a great experience! Lilly and Elisa did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and I on wedding day and we loved their hair and makeup looks. All of my girls looked beautiful! The team was so personable and professional. They even helped my mom (who did not want professional services) put on her fake eyelashes for the day. I was also grateful to work with them for a trial to make sure I liked my bridal look.

Lilly and her team were amazing! I recently got married on October 12, and they really made all of us look beautiful. We had 9 people get their hair done and every single person loved their hair! From the beginning Lilly made you feel very calm. She really knows what she is doing. This was the most affordable quote that I received and they blew it out of the water! Thanks Lilly and team for making my bridal party look amazing!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Lilly and Heather. I recently got married on September 1st, my hair and makeup was one thing I wasn’t stressed or worried about at all. From my first communications with Lilly, to my trial, to the actual day, I knew I was in great hands. I absolutely loved my trial. Being a very indecisive bride, she accommodated all of the little changes I wanted to make, helping me along the way to pick out the right accessories. She even added on hair and makeup for my flower girl last minute. The morning of the wedding, Lilly and Heather had fun with us and were amazing on timing. They really went above and beyond, and made my wedding day even more special. I would absolutely recommend Lilly and her team to any bride!!

Lilly and her team were FANTASTIC! She did a great job on my hair and make-up - I received so many compliments. She was able to come to the hotel in downtown Chicago to get my bridesmaids, family and me ready along with two of her colleagues. They were all so great to work with and brought such a fun atmosphere to the getting ready process. The hair/make-up trial was easy as well. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend Lilly to any bride in the Chicago area!

Lilly and her girls were absolutely amazing! They were on time, and prepared for everything. They were very fun to be around and helped keep everything running smooth. My 5 bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law all looked STUNNING! I was also extremely pleased with the way that my bridal hair and make up turned out. We were all getting compliments all night about how beautiful we all looked. I would highly recommend Lilly’s Bridal Hair and Makeup to any bride who wants to look and feel beautiful on her wedding day.

I had an awesome experience with Lilly’s Bridal Hair services. I was very pleased with my hair for my wedding and so we’re my bridesmaids. Lilly went above and beyond to make sure my hairstyle turned out to be exactly what I wanted. Pricing is affordable! Highly recommend!! Thank you Lilly!!

Lilly and her team were absolutely amazing! She was always quick to respond and accommodate in any way possible. We had a total of 14 people getting their hair and makeup done on the day of the wedding. All of the artists kept up a good pace and we were to finish up right on time! Lilly is very sweet and wonderful to work with. We would definitely recommend this awesome team for anyone getting married!

Lilly and her team were fantastic from start to finish! They are very affordable and do amazing work. The team was punctual for getting ready the day of my wedding. They kept conversation fun and were very meticulous with their work. Most of my bridesmaids have thin, straight hair and the team worked their magic to give them full updos. Each girl's makeup was absolutely flawless and lasted all night long, plus included lashes! I definitely recommend an extra stylist if you have room for it in your budget. It was nice to have extra time to sleep in on the big day. I'd give Lilly and her team a million stars if I were able. You can't go wrong with this team!!

MUST BOOK!! Lilly and Elisa got me ready for my 3 day, 5 event Indian wedding and everything was flawless. Her team is incredibly professional and organized. They kept me on time for each event. I had such a great time getting to know the sweet artists. Elisa was great because I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted for make up and she was able to come up with ideas on the spot. She was also able to easily change or fix makeup if I didn’t love it. Lilly is super versatile and made me feel so comfortable. As an Indian bride, there are extra things required for getting ready and I was very impressed she was able honor my Indian culture with the perfectly placed tikka and bindi... literally she knew better than me! Also, my mother-in-law had some last minute changes, and Lilly was very understanding and able to accommodate. Additionally, her pricing was very reasonable and fair. I am not used to wearing a lot of make up and did a few makeup trials, but I was left feeling overdone and cakey. After my makeup trial with Lilly and Elisa, I felt beautiful and comfortable! If I ever need a makeup artist again, I am definitely calling Lilly and her team!

I cannot stress enough how amazing Lilly and her team are. I used them for my hair/makeup for my boudoir shoot, engagement shoot, and my wedding on 5/4/19. Lilly is not only extremely talented, but also helpful. She provided me recommendations for vendors when mine fell through, advice on my wedding, and amazing hair and makeup. She's extremely on top of her work and business, very organized, reaches out to confirm appointments, and is extremely quick to respond to emails. My bridesmaids looked amazing, and they all couldn't stop saying how beautiful they looked/felt on my big day. If I could give Lilly and her team 100 stars, I would. Best and easiest part of my big day, for sure. She/her team made me feel absolutely stunning on all my big moments.

When I first started looking for an on-site hair and makeup artist for my March wedding I was a little overwhelmed. I began by reaching out to artists located in the area close by our venue; I wanted someone who could give me a really special look. The problem that I was having was that a lot of the vendors that I reached out to were confusing or not very transparent about their pricing. Lilly was very upfront and her packages were all very straightforward, reasonably priced, and clear. I did my hair and makeup trial with Lilly and Elisa about 6 weeks before my wedding. I showed them a few pictures of my vision and my dress. They did a great job at my trial, took pictures, asked for feedback, applied my hair accessory and showed me multiple angles. Both ladies were sweet and professional and it was very clear that they love what they are doing. They sent a clear schedule for myself, my bridal party, and my mom before the wedding. They were punctual and efficient and had everyone looking completely gorgeous ahead of schedule. We all had fun getting gorgeous and I am so happy that I found Elisa and Lilly. I got so many compliments on their work; including from other hair dressers that were guests at my wedding. I have already recommended them to several other people looking for recommendations. I highly recommend Lilly and Elisa. Not only are they professional and amazing, but are fun to work with.

Lilly and her team did an awesome job on my, my bridesmaids and moms’ wedding hair and makeup! I wish I could look as good as she made me look every day!! Lilly is patient, kind, cheerful, calming, and thorough. She is a good listener who takes her clients’ beauty very seriously! She is easy to work with, especially if you have a big group of girls, and she has very fast response times. I highly recommend her & her team for your wedding hair & makeup needs!

Lilly and her team were the perfect choice for wedding makeup. She listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered 100% - I felt like me, but with just the right amount of glam for my wedding day. She was professional, responsive, and so sweet to work with (as was her other artist, Elissa). Everyone in my bridal party loved their makeup, and it lasted all night! She was absolutely wonderful to work with and I highly recommend Lilly and her team!
