Refined Beauty

e trial. As someone who had never had their makeup done professionally, they answered all of my silly questions and made me feel so comfortable from the start. Liz was amazing to work with from a scheduling and details perspective. Cielo was the makeup artist for myself, my two sisters, my mother and my future mother-in-law on my wedding day and she absolutely crushed it! Her makeup skills were amazing, and she truly listened to each of our requests to make sure that we all felt comfortable. My sister even had a pretty bad cut on her forehead from an accident a few days before and she did an amazing job helping with that! Cielo was friendly, fun, punctual and calm - exactly the presence you want on your wedding day. Nothing but great things to say about this crew!

ng and is so welcoming! Refined Beauty really made my entire weekend special. I am honestly sad I won’t be there as much now that my wedding is over.

idesmaids' makeup as well, which turned out stunning! Gabby was in charge of the bridesmaid hair, and she KILLED it. Everyone was happy, and she made sure they all felt comfortable for the day. Highly recommend Refined Beauty for all services bridal. They truly made the day feel so special!

the trial, I worked with Cielo and she was just a pleasure to work with. She truly listened to my vision and what I wanted for my bridal look. I was obsessed with the hair from the jump (it look just like my inspo pic) and my makeup looked great but I had a few things I wanted to slightly tweak for the wedding day and she absolutely made the changes (a bit fuller coverage, warmer more bronzed/blush look). On the wedding day, the team (Kikki, Ben, and Cielo) showed up early and ready to set up. They had their work stations all ready to go by 8am and were very professional. They were so fun to talk to and also really listened to everyone’s visions. My husband’s mom isn’t a big makeup wearer but wanted to get a set of fake lashes glued on and didn’t know how, so they even did that for her using their lashes for free. She was pleased. Kikki offered airbrush or regular base for makeup which was nice to have the option. I have a small tattoo on my collarbone I wanted gone for the wedding and Cielo covered it up perfectly. Seriously you could not see it. Ben killed it with the hair and was touching girls hair up close to the end for the girls who went earlier. Finally, working with Liz as the point of contact at Refined Beauty for booking was wonderful. She communicated throughout the entire process, updated my contract when we had a few changes to hair/makeup count, answered all my questions, made my wedding day MU&H timeline for me, checked in after my trial to get my honest thoughts and then checked in before the wedding again to confirm everything. I highly recommend Refined Beauty for any wedding; they can handle a large group, executed our visions, and I can tell they really love what they do! I do not have professional pictures back yet to upload but will try to find a few to put here.

salon. Jennifer quickly jumped in, having conversations with me leading up to make sure I was comfortable. The day of Jennifer and Ben did such an incredible job on my hair, my moms and all my bridesmaids (11)!!

the wedding. It lightened my stress load as the bride, as I didn’t have to worry about doing my own hair or makeup and it turned out WAY better than if I had tried to do it myself! My stylist did a wonderful job making me look and feel gorgeous, but still like myself and not “overdone.” The salon was also very flexible and accommodating with some slight schedule change is the week of the wedding. I would recommend Refined Beauty to brides in the Naperville and surrounding area!

y trial which made me a little nervous, but Janet was able to create exactly what I wanted on wedding day and she made sure I felt good before leaving the salon. My mom got her hair/make up done and my friend got her hair done too, all turned out great!

g hair and got super nice extensions for me as well. All of my bridesmaids were very happy with their hair for the wedding as well. Refined Beauty was super accommodating with my larger bridal party which I really appreciated!

o accommodating and made sure all my bridesmaids hair and makeup looked perfect. They were able to get us finished ahead of time which was a huge relief to know we had some extra time in our day! I cannot recommend using Refined Beauty enough.

my big day. I used them for makeup and hair for the mothers, flower girl, bridesmaids, and me. They arrived early on the day of the wedding and had everyone finished and ready before schedule. Jessica was so helpful with my ideas and concerns. It could not have gone better for us. I could not recommend them enough for a wedding or an event.

ppreciated Jessica’s suggestions for what complements my hair and skin. I really felt that Jennifer, Jessica, Erin and Gabby cared about me as the bride and made my experience stress free. We did not start super early in the morning and we finished with plenty of time for touch ups. The team even arrived before our start time and looked glam and in heels! I felt like a celebrity with how they pampered me and even gave me an emergency Mrs swag bag after my services. I cannot recommend them enough and look forward to their services to come!

ys sent helpful emails and reminders. My trial with Erin was so much fun and Erin took the time to get to know me and to understand exactly what I wanted. I could tell immediately that Erin was extremely passionate and knowledgeable regarding wedding hair and makeup. On the day of our wedding, Erin and Ben were both so great! We all looked so beautiful! They were professional, friendly, and fit right in with our group. Ben did an excellent job, especially with my mom, who is extremely particular with her hair. The bridesmaids' hair withstood a very long day full of pictures and lots of dancing. Our makeup, done by Erin, was absolutely stunning. I was so impressed that all of our makeup stayed on all day and night despite us all sweating from the heat. Thank you to Refined Beauty, especially Erin and Ben for making me and my girls look so beautiful!! I cannot recommend them enough!

e sure everyone looked their best, giving everyone unique looks that matched what they wanted and their complexion. The results were stunning!

king it a dream come true wedding day with the most gorgeous hair & makeup! I felt so beautiful and cared for through the whole process, including the trials <3. The whole team is so sweet, fun, and accommodatable. Having them there on my wedding day added to the fun & the memories! 100% recommend!

rvices for my wedding date. Refined Beauty is not only beautiful and chic on the inside, all service providers are incredibly welcoming, professional, and fun to work with. I feel so grateful that I found Refined Beauty and was able to receive services- they are truly talented!

day. For about 7 months leading up to the wedding I booked all my facials, hair appointments, and lash appointments through Refined Beauty and everyone there is SO friendly and welcoming and make everything so fun! My bridal party was 11 people total and everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup the day of the wedding and mine turned out better than I could have imagined. Jennifer and her team are absolutely amazing and were even ahead of schedule the entire day! I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup on my wedding and I never had to touch up anything throughout the entire day/night - it was fantastic!! I could not be more thankful for the work they did in helping make my wedding day so perfect!

n to talk to and be around. I will continue to be a long term client with them because they are so amazing!!

ssional, kind and fun! From the bridal trial to the wedding day, Jennifer and the  Refined Beauty team made everything go smoothly.   Me and all the girls looked beautiful and had a blast! I definitely  would recommend the Refined Beauty team for bridal and other services. Thank you so much!

esmaids all looked stunning too and got just what they wanted. It was so fun that we could all get ready at my house and that Janet made the morning special. Thank you Refined Beauty for a great experience!

int from Kikki prior to the wedding and was so happy with the results. I was referred here by a friend to try Simply Tan their custom spray tan services for my wedding and had a GREAT experience. Halie absolutely nailed it - I felt sunkissed without feeling unnatural or orange. I did a trial with her pre-wedding and I loved that when I came back for my tan before the big day they had exactly what they did last time listed in their system to ensure that the color and wash-off time were consistent with what we had done before.

ng beauty prep, facials, eyebrows with Kiki and haircuts! I always feel and look amazing! I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup for my wedding day!

heir hair and skin types. We all looked great even at the end of the night! I would recommend Refined Beauty to anyone looking for wedding day hair & makeup.

nd felt beautiful AND we stayed on our strict timeline. I cannot thank them enough for making our day so special! Thank you to Jen, Kikki, Ben and Gabby -- you guys are the best!

ing hair, eyebrows, etc. and I cannot say enough about how amazing they are. They were on time for the wedding day, and worked so efficiently! Jennifer, Janet, Kikki, and Ben are absolutely amazing and so talented! Highly recommend!

nd gave her honest opinion always. I felt like a princess during my hair/makeup trial and then felt like a queen during my wedding day. I’ll continue to go to them post wedding also for my hair and spray tan! If I could rate Refined Beauty 100/10 I would!

amount of time listening to understand what I really wanted out of my wedding day look. Additionally, she was refreshingly honest. When I showed her pictures of hair styles that were a bit unrealistic for my thinner hair, she worked with me to problem solve and came up with great solutions to ensure I got the look I wanted. Jessica has a way about her that made me feel immediately comfortable from the very beginning. In addition to doing my hair and makeup day of, she said all the right things to calm my bridal nerves. In addition to Jessica, I had Ben and Janet do my bridesmaid’s hair and makeup. They were also amazing. Not only did everyone in my bridal party look beautiful, but we also all thoroughly enjoyed working with these two. We had a super early day (hair and makeup started at 6:15 am), but Ben, Janet, and Jessica brought in positive vibes and helped us start the day off right. They were also super professional. We had a tight timeline for the entire day and the three of them worked together to ensure we were done with hair and makeup right on time! Outside of hair and makeup, I had a bridal spray tan with Katie. She was amazing too! She worked with me to get the perfect color tan based on my natural skin tone. She was informative and so friendly. There aren’t many people I would feel comfortable with while being very close to naked. But somehow, Katie’s comforting and friendly demeanor made it feel normal. I also want to give a shoutout to the owner, Jennifer. Each time I was in the salon, she made it a point to talk with me and check in on how wedding planning was going. The whole team made me feel so great and so welcomed!

ntire process so I felt extremely confident in what was happening. As someone who has a skin tone that makeup artists seemed to have trouble matching, Jennifer made me and my bridal party look extremely natural which was much appreciated! Ben did a terrific job with my bridal party hair too. The price is well worth the service and I cannot recommend Refined Beauty enough for future brides!

y answered all my initial vendor questions and was SO informative. Jennifer was super attentive and checked up on me throughout the planning process. I had the pleasure of meeting all 3 people who were doing the hair and makeup for myself and wedding party. Jessica did my wedding hair and makeup. For my trial, she was honest, insightful and super supportive. I don’t wear much makeup, so I didn’t know what would look well on my skin. She provided helpful tips and advice and we decided on the perfect look for me. She said your wedding makeup should be a step up from what you typically wear. My wedding look stayed true to myself, while also being bold. She also made me a little touch up kit for the rest of the day. Kikki did my bridal facial and WOW my skin looked and felt great. All the products she used were soothing, natural and not irritating. Ben did my bridal hair blowout. My hair has never felt SO smooth and silky afterwards. He also recommend me to use the milk shake products and I LOVE the nourishing shampoo and conditioner. I definitely feel and see the difference ever since I switched to these products. All 3 of these lovely people were super sweet, easy going and fun. They were jamming to the get ready playlist I made and got along well with everyone. My mom, mother in law and my bridesmaids all loved their hair and makeup. Everyone looked SO beautiful! Book Refined Beauty for your wedding! You will not be disappointed!

a plan to make the day of go even more perfectly. My whole bridal party and I were so happy with our hair and makeup! My biggest concern was that our schedule for hair and makeup would be tight and we ended up ahead of schedule on the day of! Can't recommend Refined Beauty enough!

what I was thinking for my hair & makeup and she definitely delivered, plus some! Jennifer & Janet also did an amazing job with the hair & makeup for my girls. I would 1000% recommend for any of their services :)

n has such a welcoming environment as well! Kiki did my pre-wedding facial and my skin looked flawless for my wedding day! I got a ton of compliments from my bridal party that they loved their energy and everyone loved their hair and makeup. Jennifer also quickly curled my 2 year old daughters baby hair! It was all an amazing experience! Would recommend them to anyone!!

highly enough.

ys so beautiful. Would 100% recommend this company to anyone!

I was hoping for. My bridal party also loved their hair. Our stylist, Jessica, was a "junior artist" (one to five years of experience) so her price point was better for my budget. However, the quality of makeup and hair was beyond junior level! She did a great job! The only hiccups during my time working with Refined Beauty were during the payment and hair/makeup trial phases. I found the payment policies confusing and accidentally paid for everything (deposit + trial) up front before the trial. Luckily, I ended up choosing Refined Beauty but if I hadn't, I wouldn't have gotten that deposit back. Also, on the day of the trial, my makeup was heavier than I wanted and my hair refused to curl, so I wasn't sure how things would look on my wedding day. However, Jessica was amazing on the day of -- we walked through my feedback again and did the makeup and hair step by step so I could tweak as needed. Ultimately, everything turned out perfect and I'm so, so happy with my wedding day look!! I would highly recommend Jessica!

ld love to have them do my hair and makeup again. Thanks so much for making us feel beautiful!

– asking questions about what I was looking for, realistically offering her professional advice and suggestions, and checking in with me on what I thought as it came together. I ended up even coming to her for a haircut the week before the wedding because I trusted her to make it look great! On the big day, it was so fun to have Janet and Jennifer there to do the entire wedding party’s hair and some makeup. They got along great with all the girls and made everyone look GORGEOUS! I felt so confident and beautiful after Janet did my hair! I got so many compliments on how perfectly it turned out! The ladies at Refined Beauty were so fun to work with and our looks would not have come together as perfectly without their hard work!!

mother were also obsessed with their looks for the wedding. I would highly recommend Refined Beauty for any bridal services.

I was hoping for. Me and my bridesmaids all received great compliments for our hair and makeup!

wing up early on the big day, I didn't have to stress at all. And on top of it, she did an outstanding job with my makeup! She took all of my input and pictures and made it look even better than I imagined. I would highly recommend her to a friend!
