December 10, 2023 at 12:00 amAnne is perfect. I think I said as much on the day of the trial, the days leading up to the actual wedding, and several times on the actual wedding day. My biggest concern with my hair for my wedding day was the fact that it is naturally curly with a mind of its own. It was really important to me that I look like ME on my wedding day, so I wanted to find someone who could help me harness the crazy to do a curly style for the day. I wasn’t interested in doing a straight style or a blow out but was really hoping to find a stylist who would embrace the natural curl, and help…

October 29, 2023 at 12:00 amAnn and her team were incredible and made me + my bridal party so happy! My mom and I did a hair and makeup trial a few months before my wedding and were so happy with how everything looked. We had a great time getting to know Paige and Vicki as well – they were so fun! They listened to everything we wanted and took the time to get our feedback after the trial. On the big day, they were punctual, friendly, and helpful. All my bridesmaids were so happy with their hair and makeup. The whole day was flawless. Throughout it all, Ann made the whole process a breeze and was very responsive and kind. I can’t recommended Ann and her team enough!

August 11, 2023 at 12:00 amCan’t say enough positive things about Ann and Tilly! From the start, it was easy and straightforward to plan both the hair and makeup trial as well as the big day and Ann made it even more special by mailing a personalized letter to my home before wedding day!
My bridesmaids and my mom loved their hair and makeup. I usually prefer to do my own makeup, but ended up loving the way that Tilly was able to pull it off on wedding day! Ann’s a master with hair and it showed. I still can’t believe how she was able to match my inspiration photo in real life.
I highly recommend using Ann and her team for your wedding day beauty needs.

May 28, 2023 at 12:00 amI had the absolute pleasure of working with Ann and Tilly from Beauty by Ann Krause for my wedding day, and I cannot express how grateful I am for their exceptional services. From the moment we had our hair and makeup trial, their level of organization and coordination was truly impressive. They took the time to understand my vision and preferences, and their attention to detail was remarkable. On the morning of the wedding, I felt an overwhelming sense of calm and relaxation as they effortlessly worked together, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Ann created a hairstyle that perfectly suited my bridal look, and Tilly’s makeup artistry was simply magical. I felt like the most beautiful version of…

March 6, 2023 at 12:00 amAnn is so incredible to work with! She is professional, responsive and all around a great person. From the hair/make up trial to the big day, Ann was always there to answer my questions and provide guidance when needed. All of my bridesmaids loved their hair/make up and it lasted all day/night. I absolutely loved my wedding day look that Ann and Giselle brought to life for me. I can’t remember this team enough!! I know a handful of couples who have used this team and all provided positive feedback!

September 18, 2022 at 12:00 amAnn and her team were amazing! We used them for my wedding for bride + bridesmaid hair and makeup. Ann was so wonderful about communicating and responding quickly, professionally, and with very helpful detailed answers to my questions. She was also great about explaining our timeline and helping me think through which timeline would be best for the day – honestly it felt like she was somewhat of a wedding planner in this sense, which was super helpful for us! It is clear that she cares a lot about her brides and does an excellent job taking care of her clients – she even came to my trial hair and makeup session at my apartment to introduce herself and…

September 30, 2021 at 12:00 amWe had the most wonderful experience working with Ann and her team for our July 2021 wedding! We worked with Tilly for makeup and Nicole for hair; both of them were so sweet and friendly at my trial session. I got to meet Ann at the same time; she is incredibly professional and truly cares about the details and checking in. Ann was so communicative on the day of my wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly and Nicole and Tilly did an unbelievable job creating beautiful looks for me, my bridesmaids, and the mothers of the bride and groom. I was overjoyed with the results. You will not regret working with Beauty By Ann Krause!

July 12, 2021 at 12:00 amAnn is the best vendor you will hire for your wedding. Hands down. From initial outreach, to my bridal look trial, to the final wedding day, Ann is the most professional and thorough in her communication. She builds trust from the start. Her team of hair and makeup artists did an excellent job on my wedding day. I never had a worry! We were actually ahead of schedule the entire day, all of my bridal party loved their looks, and Ann dealt with any change with such grace and poise (me adding on a few wedding guests to the end of the schedule last minute). I was above and beyond pleased with her service.

June 1, 2021 at 12:00 amAnn and her team were amazing from start to finish. Ann is a dream to work with and truly goes above and beyond to bring the most beautiful looks to life. When I tweaked my vision after my trial, Ann rolled with my new idea and I ended up being unbelievably thrilled with my hair. Her makeup team (Liz and Giselle) were friendly, funny, punctual, and brought such a fun and calming energy to my house as we got ready. Loved having them from start to finish and would recommend to anyone!

December 23, 2019 at 12:00 amAnn and her team are absolutely fantastic. I met Ann when I was a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding and she was so professional and so talented, I asked for her contact information and hired her for my wedding. I tell her all the time, she is a hair architect! Her skill is matched by her professionalism and I couldn’t have been happier to have Ann and her team with me on my wedding day.

December 18, 2019 at 12:00 amAnn and Michelle were such an amazing bridal team. They were so responsive and reliable throughout the entire process as well as making relevant recommendations as necessary (I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to makeup). The trial went great but there were a few things I wanted to change after I saw pictures and they were super receptive and made all the necessary changes on the wedding day. Not to mention, they were an incredibly calming and joyful presence on the morning of such an important day! After my hair and makeup was done, I honestly have never felt more beautiful and confident! I truly can’t thank them both enough for helping to make my wedding day the best ever!

November 12, 2019 at 12:00 amAnn is SUCH a delight to work with! I booked her as my wedding hair stylist and she’s amazing! First, I saw her to get a haircut to freshen up my locks a few months before the wedding. I could tell from the very beginning that she is great at what she does and she’s so sweet and personable. I had two hair trials to get my wedding day look just right, and by the time the wedding came along it felt like an old friend was helping me get ready! My bridesmaids and mom loved her as well. I definitely recommend Ann for your wedding needs, but she also gained a customer for life from me!

November 7, 2019 at 12:00 amI have been going to Ann for blowouts and haircuts for several years, so although I was having my big wedding out in California, there was no question about who was going to do my hair for my private ceremony in Chicago. As part of my trial, Ann discussed different options to make sure she created a hairstyle that was exactly what I envisioned, and she also shared some tricks for how she was going to ensure my hair stayed secure throughout the entire day. For my wedding day, Ann was incredibly sweet and professional, and made sure everything went smoothly. She finished ahead of schedule and my hairstyle was even more beautiful than I could have imagined -…

November 1, 2019 at 12:00 amI contacted Ann & Tilly for my wedding hair and makeup pretty late in planning and I lucked out that they were still available! (I was also getting married on a Monday so that helped!) They made everything so easy, with just a few photos I found off the internet they were able to capture the look I was going for and executed everything perfectly. They arrived on time and had everything all ready to go, the time flew and before I knew it they were already done. My hair and make up were perfect! I will absolutely be recommending them to my friends!!

October 10, 2019 at 12:00 amI can only recommend Ann and her team, they are amazing to work with, super professional and I loved my wedding hair. Ann was recommended to me by our wedding planner Grace from Lionhearted events. They were really accommodating for my hair trial, Ann and Athina let me come in on a Monday as I was only in Chicago for a long weekend (we live in London). I received the timeline for the day well in advance, they were super flexible and even able to schedule in a friend of mine who wasn’t part of the bridal party. Athina was super nice and professional on the day, she was calm and had everything under control from the…
