Meraki-Artisan Hair Design

A MUST! Meraki-Artisan Hair Design. Cassie and her team did an amazing job with hair and make up for my wedding. Cassie is the bridal coordinator and was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. Reyna was my stylist and SHE was exceptional! I would go to them for make up and hair for an event or for normal services.

We had the best experience with Cassie and Erica. They did such a beautiful job on each girls hair and making sure it was exactly what they wanted. Even their updos for the flower girls were gorgeous. These girls worked quickly but paid attention to detail. They were easy to schedule with and I would definitely recommend them!

Absolutely amazing!! Cassie & her team did the best job ever on the bridal party's hair & makeup for our wedding last September. After my bridal trial, there were a few things I wanted to change about my updo and Cassie exceeded all expectations! She was so friendly to work with, got all of our hair done ahead of schedule, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Olivia was our makeup artist and is equally as talented!! She captured the look I was going for in the bridal trial and exceeded expectations on our wedding day. Olivia & Cassie were professional, talented, and so friendly to work with! It felt like we'd known them for years. Everyone looked stunning, and we have Cassie & Olivia to thank for that!! Would highly recommend this salon and team of artists for any wedding or event.

Meraki did my hair and my bridesmaids for my wedding and did an AMAZING job!!! They nailed my hair style. Patty is so nice and very efficient. We were even ahead of schedule. Will definitely be going back!!

I hired Cassie to do my wedding hair + my bridesmaids hair and she is INCREDIBLE! I’ve truly never felt more beautiful than I did as a bride and she helped make that happen. She took all my inspo pictures and created a beautiful romantic updo and I cannot recommend her enough. Hire her & her team for sure!

We hired Meraki to do my bridal parties hair and makeup , and let me tell you they nailed it! Cassie and Reyna are so incredibly talented at what they do. I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life and everyone was talking about how stunning I looked. My bridesmaids felt beautiful and looked amazing as well. They are so nice to work with and made the experience so personal and enjoyable. I am so happy I went here. They did amazing!

I had found Meraki through a friend of mine who got married in 2021 and used their team for hair and makeup for her wedding. After getting my own hair and makeup done, I knew I wanted them for my own wedding! I am SO grateful for Cassie, Olivia, and the rest of the team that glammed us for my wedding. They took every concern or question into consideration, made each bridesmaid/mother look authentically beautiful, and genuinely cared for each of us. Both Cassie and Olivia were kind, thoughtful, and truly cared about making each one of us look wedding ready. Both our hair and makeup lasted from 9:30am to midnight- how amazing! I am forever grateful to have had them with me on my big day and HIGHLY recommend their bridal team!

Cassie was so helpful and responsive in setting up hair and make up services, from booking, to trials, to the actual wedding day. She, along with Erika, Olivia, and Courtney, were fabulous the day of the wedding. They were very flexible in the space that we had to get ready in, and worked through the entire bridal party efficiently, providing exactly what each individual person wanted. Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous, even after spending time in the summer heat and humidity for pictures. They were by far the nicest, sweetest vendors to work with, and would highly, highly recommend them for hair and makeup services!

Cassie and her team were amazing!! Everyone was happy with how their hair and makeup turned out for my wedding. The hairstyles held all day and night, despite hot weather and an outfit change! They were on time in the morning and efficient so we ran ahead of schedule. Plus Cassie and the team were very fun and personable. I would highly recommend her to other brides!

I used Meraki for my wedding last weekend and they were the best! Cassie, Erica, Olivia and Courtney came to my hotel the morning of my wedding and were extremely friendly and professional, as well as incredibly talented! Communication was quick and easy, and Cassie made sure that my hair was perfect on my big day, and Olivia made sure that my makeup was spot on, and didn't budge all night! Each one of these women made everyone in my bridal party feel beautiful. I would HIGHLY recommend the services of Meraki for anyone's big day! Rest assured that they will work with you to make sure you feel your best.

What a wonderful team these ladies make! 2 hair stylists and 2 makeup artists from this salon were present on my wedding day, all 4 of the woman made the wedding morning a wonderful experience. Incredible talent, easy to chat with, and overall a great time! Hair and makeup trial was incredible as well, I had no idea what I wanted to look like on the big day and these ladies talked me through everything and made sure I was happy with all results.

My bridesmaids hair looked stunning and Cassie made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day on 10/01/22. She wouldn’t leave until my hair was absolutely perfect and how I wanted it and even at my trial she talked to me like I had known her my whole life. These ladies are so personable and so talented. I am so happy I chose them for my wedding day hair!

Cassie and her team are great and responsive! Everyone in my party loved their looks and were very pleased with how their hair and makeup held up, including myself (the bride), throughout the day. They were accommodating and worked well with all hair types as we had variety of hair textures! Very well priced, as well- compared to other hair salons I was getting quotes from!

Erica & Cassie are they best! I have super curly hair and always have a hard time with styles for events but Erica did an absolutely amazing job on my hair for my big day! Cassie styled all my bridesmaids and made them all look so beautiful. Can’t wait for the next event so they can do my hair again!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Meraki Salon. They were absolutely amazing with helping me get the exact look I was going for on my wedding day. Cassie was great with setting up my wedding day schedule, and I felt so supported by her throughout the planning process. Lorena did my hair for the wedding and it was absolutely perfect. We even did a few trials before the day to make sure it was exactly what I wanted, and she could not have been any nicer or accommodating! Courtney did my makeup and it was exactly the look I was going for. I 100% recommend Meraki to any bride! You will not be disappointed.

I absolutely loved my makeup for my wedding! Olivia at Meraki was my makeup artist and she did a wonderful job! We did a trial in advance and she was very accommodating to ensure different colors were trialed to find the right look. My bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law’s makeup turned out fabulous too! We appreciated Cassie’s help arranging everything in advance. Olivia’s flexibility to travel to our location for the wedding morning was great as well and we are grateful that the day went so smoothly with her help. I definitely recommend using Meraki for your event!

I cannot say enough good things about Meraki. They did a beautiful job with hair and makeup for the bridesmaids, my mom and myself, plus they were so fun to talk to while we got ready. My hair and makeup looked great in photos without being too harsh in real life, and it didn’t budge throughout the day. Would definitely recommend for any hair and skin type for any big occasion.

Cass was AMAZING!! She is so talented and personable. We also finished ahead of schedule! Cass did my hair better than I imagined. It even rained for a bit and my hair stayed perfect. All my bridesmaids hairstyles were also gorgeous and super unique. I would 100000% recommend her!!

Cassie did an amazing job! She nailed the style I wanted for the trial and then it looked even better the day of the wedding! I felt so beautiful!

Cassie and Olivia were absolutely phenomenal! I would recommend them to anyone for wedding/special occasion hair and makeup. My group all left the salon feeling absolutely beautiful. Our hair an makeup lasted all day and night through hours of outdoor photos and dancing in the beginning of July. On top of our hair and makeup being perfect, Cassie and Olivia were the absolute sweetest!

We had such a wonderful experience with Meraki. The whole process of setting up a trial to the day of the wedding was such a breeze. Even with multiple changes on my end, Cassie was so sweet and willing to work with me to make sure everything turned out perfect. On the day of my wedding hair and makeup went so quick... but we weren't rushed either! The ladies finished everyone early which helped give myself and the rest of the bridesmaids time to relax before things got crazy. Our makeup looked great all night and my hair-(which does not hold a curl well) stayed great all night! We will definitely be using Meraki for future events!

Olivia did makeup for myself and my bridesmaids. Everyone looked amazing and they couldn't believe how natural the airbrush looked! I was so calm all morning because I knew I was in good hands. Our makeup looked great all night with hardly a touch-up. Olivia has a wonderful eye for color, detail, in-depth knowledge of makeup , beauty products, very professional and respectfully listens to your request. She is so talented at her craft and you can tell she loves what she does!

I had Cassie come out to do mine and my bridal party hair for my wedding on 4/2/2022. What a amazing job she did! I can’t thank her and meraki for making my day less stressful and just making everyone look so beautiful. I highly recommend using for any events.

They did an amazing job! My hair was absolutely perfect and my makeup has never looked better. Cassie and Olivia worked wonders!

I had Cassie and Paty come out for my wedding on 3/25/22. They did 6 hair services and did FANTASTIC! Everyone LOVED their hair. They are so talented and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing hair services for a wedding or special event. Cassie was so easy to communicate with throughout the whole planning process. Thank you, ladies! You are awesome :)

Meraki Bridal Hair & Make up team are all you will need! They are wonderful and have the best of the best! Cassie will make sure everything is taken care of from day one, you will not have to stress about anything! I can't thank this team enough for everything they did to help our huge bridal party the day of our wedding! Thank you Meraki!!!!

You MUST use Meraki! We booked them for my December wedding and I have absolutely nothing but great things to say. Erica and Cassie made my getting ready process so fun. They made not only myself feel beautiful on the day, but my bridal party as well! We all had ideas of what we wanted and they brought all of our hair dreams to life! They also are entertaining and are so easy to talk to! We had a wonderful experience with Meraki and will be recommending them to anybody getting married in the Chicago suburbs!

We used Meraki for my sisters wedding and they were AMAZING!!! They were so fun and so easy to talk to, they made it so entertaining and all the bridesmaids had so much fun! Not to mention the hair looked GORGEOUS and they did it in a great timely manner! Thank you so much for being so great! Will always recommend them if your looking in Chicago/ chicago suburbs area!

I had the best experience with Meraki on my wedding day. I had contacted Meraki last minute when the company I had originally chosen to do my hair for the wedding didn't work out. It was so close to my wedding that I was worried I would never find a good-quality hairstylist. Cassie was fantastic and responded to my inquiry immediately while promptly answering my questions, helping put my mind at ease. I had met with Erica for my hair trial, and walking through the salon, I felt at home. Meeting Erica was like meeting up with an old friend I had known for years, and I knew I needed to book her immediately! On the wedding day, I had wanted to change my look last minute, and Erica delivered! She made mine and my bridesmaid's hair all look gorgeous. Erica is truly a gem, and I am forever grateful to have found Meraki!

I can’t recommend these girls enough!! The girls brought great energy and made magic happen with our hair. I let everyone in my party choose what they wanted to do with their hair, and we were able to give them a picture or idea, and they did it flawlessly. I worked with Erica and Cassie, and they were both so friendly and helped make the getting ready part of the day nice and smooth.

I cannot recommend Meraki enough. They did hair and makeup for my bridal party, and all of my girls raved about their services. Not only did they make sure we all looked beautiful and were happy with our services, but they were so fun to hang out with all day! Cassie was amazing with communication, and always happily answered my many questions. Their prices are also very reasonable! I would not hesitate to get my hair and makeup done by Meraki again!

Wow- I cannot thank Patti from Meraki enough for her help with my wedding! Patti efficiently and flawlessly completed hair and makeup for myself (the bride) and my two sisters (maids of honor) on site at my wedding. Patti was very flexible, making sure she created each of our looks exactly how we wanted. She was also very quick and skilled- we finished up earlier than expected, allowing more time for pictures! The whole team was great with communication, and my trial (1 week before the wedding) went awesome as well!

Cassie was amazing and did an incredible job on my hair as well as my bridal party's hair! Everyone was so happy with their hair and how well it held up throughout the night! Girls that had short, thin hair, were given hairstyles that made their hair look full and thick. I especially loved that during my trial Cassie asked really specific questions to make sure that my hair was everything I wanted it to be. There were some things I didn't realize I had a preference about until she asked me. On the day of my hair turned out EXACTLY the way I pictured it! Thank you, Cassie, for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day!

Meraki made the morning of my wedding an absolute dream!! Their team was incredible and made sure that each of my girls was taken care of looked incredibly beautiful. The salon let us bring in our own food and drinks and we took over every room getting ready, hanging out, and enjoying all the morning preparations before our ceremony. Every employee went above and beyond with their services. All of my bridesmaids as well as myself have gotten hair and make up done for other weddings before but all agreed our services at Meraki were outstanding compared to the past. They truly were an absolute pleasure to work with and I have already recommended them to all my closest friends and family for their upcoming weddings as well. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Kim was amazing from trial to the days of! Our bridal party’s makeup looked straight from a magazine. Cassie was wonderful to work with! I would highly recommend Meraki!

Had such an amazing experience with Meraki Hair Design! My hair turned out beautiful, held up the whole night and my bridesmaids were so happy with their styles. Cassie had great communication throughout the booking/trial/day of and Katie is such a talented hair stylist!!

Cassie and the girls at Maraki were so awesome to work with. Cassie is professional and very quick to reply at all hours, They were flexible as we added people to the list for day of services. The prices were reasonable and our stylist Katie was fantastic! I highly recommend them!

My friend Mandys wedding was made with the makeup from Kim at Meraki! She spent time on each girl including me making us so elegant and beautiful. Cassie at Meraki is the best at any wedding hair around. She specializes in beautiful braid designs. With the makeup at Mandys wedding I have now booked with Meraki for my own wedding in December. I can’t wait for Cassie and Kim to make my day wonderful. I have yet to meet the other stylists but with trust in these two girls I have no doubt in the salon! 100% go with Meraki.

Cassie, Paty and Kim did an amazing job on mine and all of my girl's hair and makeup! So pleased, I could not have asked for more! Cassie coordinated everything so we had a smooth timely preparation for the big day! I highly recommend Meraki Artisan Hair and Makeup!

I don’t have enough great things to say about Meraki to truly capture how wonderful they are to work with!!! Cassie was amazing with answering all my questions in a very timely manner, and she made the booking process super easy and straightforward. On the day of, we were allowed to come to the salon to get ready and they allowed us to bring food and drinks, and make ourselves at home. They even made an adorable welcome sign just for my wedding party! Everyone who was working that day was so friendly and myself and the girls had an absolute blast! The salon itself is a cute, beautifully decorated, bright space, and we loved hanging out there. Now onto the service - I walked in with a vision of what I would look like on my wedding day and they NAILED IT down to the last details! Cassie did my hair and she was so patient with me as I asked for a few tweaks here and there. The finished product was exactly what I was hoping for! Kim did my makeup and she heard everything I was saying. I am very particular about getting my makeup done as I don’t like anything too heavy, and she got it on the first try! Overall, the staff worked quickly and diligently (without feeling rushed), and we even ended ahead of schedule! 12/10 I would HIGHLY recommend booking through Meraki!!! Thank you again to Cassie, Kim and the rest of their team!

This team is wonderful! Hair and makeup were my last thing I needed to get set for the wedding and Cassie & Patty delivered! They were so sweet and worked with each girl to achieve their inspo picture. I kept in touch with Cassie the entire time and she was so helpful and made it a thousand times less stressful. They came to the venue and got us all ready so fast. I highly recommend the team to anyone.

Cassie did my hair for my New Year’s Eve wedding, and it turned out exactly how I wanted it! It was so beautiful. Cassie has been so accommodating throughout the entire process as we canceled our wedding large wedding and moved it to next year, and she was able to fit us in next year as well. The morning of the wedding my makeup took an hour longer than anticipated, and Cassie was so flexible and did my hair while the other artist was completing my makeup in order to keep me on schedule and less stressed. I appreciate her flexibility, communication and professionalism so much. The facility of where I did my trail was clean and beautiful. I highly recommend them!

Meraki and owner, Erica Molak, provided an absolutely amazing bridal hair experience for me and my brides maids from start to finish! Scheduling was easy and professional. On arrival, Erica provided such personal and professional services for all of us! Her recommendations on updo styles were exceptional and her execution was flawless! All this, while we felt genuinely welcome in her amazingly beautiful salon and thoroughly entertained by her warm hospitality. The salon’s modern design and vibe is far beyond any other salon in the area...it’s just a beautiful place! We had such fun discussing the details of the wedding day to come with her... and, I drank mimosas that we’d brought along from a special jeweled bridal glass she had ready just for me! The entire morning was so fun and the updo she recommended for me was just beautiful and lasted for the entire day and evening, flawless! My brides maids all had very different hair styles and for each one Erica recommended a beautiful updo, unique to that woman’s hair and style. Just perfect! She posted to social media on our behalf which was a fun and memorable surprise. I cannot say enough about our positive experience at Meraki, a beautiful part of my wedding day!

Absolutely amazing!! Cassie & Katie did an amazing job on all of our wedding party's hair and Lisa & Paty a wonderful job on makeup! Everyone looked absolutely beautiful! Cassie did an awesome job of planning everything out for our big day and they were all extremely friendly and fun to work with!! Thank you ladies!!!

The best!!! We cannot thank Cassie and the rest of Meraki enough! After my trial at their amazing salon I knew I wanted them to do hair and make up for all of the girls on our wedding day. Due to covid we had to reschedule our wedding but Cassie helped to make that process as easy as possible and was one of the first vendors to reach out and offer help. They were able to accommodate all of the last minute changes that covid brought . On our wedding day they were professional and did a great job managing the groups needs and the schedule. Everyone loved how their hair and make up looked and loved having them there! Thank you for helping to make our day amazing and making everyone look beautiful!
