Joyful Brides was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day! From the moment I reached out, her communication was fast, helpful and responsive. She was always respectful and went above and beyond to make sure my hair and makeup look was absolutely perfect. My hair stayed in place all night, even after the wedding!

To me, changing someone's appearance is more than just changing the way they look, it is changing the way they feel. To be able to give someone more self-confidence is like giving someone a new outlook on life. I can absolutely say that I have one of the most rewarding jobs out there and that I love what I do!

Awarded Best of Zola
Stefanie did our makeup for my wedding! She was absolutely amazing! She always responded back to me pretty much right away (even if I sent her a message or inquiry at random hours of the day or on the weekend). She was professional but yet personable. You can tell that she truly loves what she does and her passion shows through her work! I don’t wear makeup very often so I loved that she was able to give me a more natural look but at the same time allowed me to shine and look beautiful on my wedding day! She has the best attitude and positive energy! She’s the person you want with you, laughing and singing along to your pre wedding playlist helping you get ready and look stunning on your big day! 100% recommend!

I found Hairs 2 Bride at a bridal expo in Schaumburg. They did my hair/makeup and my bridesmaides/ mom’s hair & makeup for my wedding a couple weeks ago. Lisa did my hair & makeup and Angel worked on the others. They both arrived early. Lisa did an incredible job with my hair and makeup and capturing the more natural vibe I wanted. She was also super helpful with organizing and giving tips to my bridesmaides to help make the day run more smoothly. They both finished their services on time and stayed really structured. I also really liked my experience working with the owner/administrative team, they were always super responsive & I liked the chart they sent before my wedding that had everyone’s services timed out/planned out.

I can’t say enough great things about the beauty team I had. Brenda did phenomenal on my makeup! I was happy crying all day and night and my makeup held up the entire time. She listened to what I wanted and made my face feel weightless even with a full face and foundation! Mercedes did wonders with my hair and the curls held all night even through jumping, crazy wind, and a handsy groom lol. She’s the sweetest and so supportive of whatever I wanted. Eva did fantastic with all of the hair and makeup she did for my girls also! Huge thanks all around the such a fantastic team. Overall communication was great prior to booking and died down a bid in the middle of the experience and towards my wedding but I’m guessing that was due to it being a busier time of year. At the end of the day I’d highly recommend them though, especially the fantastic artists that I had the pleasure of working with.

Alexis was absolutely amazing!! She was our hair and makeup artist for my wedding this Saturday and when I say she KILLED it!! Aside from her AMAZING hair and makeup skills… We had a few bumps in the road so my mom and I weren’t able to make it to the venue until after my scheduled time for both hair and makeup. As you can imagine, I was definitely panicking about our ceremony starting in less than two hours from the time of my arrival. When I finally made it, I felt SO much better as I realized that Alexis made sure that all of my bridesmaids were on track as far as hair and makeup while I was gone. She completed my hair and makeup beautifully with time to spare for my mom’s hair and makeup. She even managed to squeeze in another makeup service for one of my guests. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone that I know who may be needing a hair or makeup service. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and she is so SO sweet!! I could not thank her enough for everything she helped with the morning of our wedding

Erin and her girls were amazing from the moment I first reached out. Erin was always quick to respond and was super helpful with the entire planning process. Before my trial, Erin had looked up my social media so she already knew my vibe (simple and elegant). I showed her a few pictures and she had great ideas for the hairstyle. She helped me find the perfect hairpiece that made me confident I didn't want a veil. A few weeks before our wedding, we realized we were going to have a time crunch and within a few hours (late on a Monday evening), Erin added two girls to help so we wouldn't be stressed for time. Cassie did all of our hair and my make up. She was fast, efficient and very down to earth. Micaela helped with pre curls and she already seemed like she was a pro. Kylie did makeup for my bridesmaids and they all looked gorgeous. I cannot say enough great things about Erin & her crew. You won't regret booking with them.
