I found Jenessa online while looking for my bridal hair and makeup – after seeing her work portafolio I decided to contact her. From the beginning the communication was excellent and within minutes. She answered every single one of my questions and we were able to schedule the bridal trial a few weeks before the wedding. During both the trial and the wedding day, Jenessa (makeup artist) and Cathy (hair stylist) were amazing, they surpassed my expectations and did a beautiful job with my skin tone and hair, they also made my bridal party look incredible. Throughout the process Jenessa communicated with me and kept me updated which is a huge relief when dealing with tight schedules. I cannot…
We hired Jenessa for wedding makeup for me (the bride) and the whole wedding party. She did a great job – everyone looked fabulous. She was also patient and helpful when working with people who weren’t used to getting their makeup done or who wanted nontraditional makeup styles. I’d highly recommend hiring her for your big day.
Jenessa did great with all the make up for my wedding party and family. She gave each person the time they needed to get the look they wanted. Her approach was quick and she was understanding when our schedule got off track a bit (Grandma over slept 🙂
Jenessa was amazing to work with. I was a decisive bride with photo inspo and a clear vision but my sisters and mother didn’t have a clue what they wanted. Not only did she perfectly execute my look, she took the time to help each individual look and feel their absolute best. She was quick to respond to my messages and punctual for both my trial and day of. Highly recommend her services and will be using her for any event I find myself at in the future.
I just had my makeup trial with Jenessa for my wedding, which is only a month away. She did such a great job listening to me and giving me a natural look, which is usually a struggle for wedding artists, in my experience. I don’t know what products she used or if it had anything to do with her technique, but a nice little bike ride and a power nap later and this makeup still looks fresh! When I told her I hadn’t locked down anyone for my hair yet, she went to work immediately contacting her hairstylists and messaged me when she found someone that was available for my date (again, only a month away). She’s been incredibly…
Jenessa was so wonderful to work with and did such a beautiful job with our makeup. My bridesmaids and I all have very different styles when it comes to makeup and Jenessa did an amazing job catering to each of us, while also making us look beautiful together in group photos. I would recommend her to any bride! She works quickly and we had so much fun with her and the hair stylist she chose, Danielle. Both wonderful and made the day stress-free and enjoyable for me, bridesmaids, & moms! Don’t look any further – she’s your gal!
Jenessa was so great to work with for our wedding day and trial. She was so quick to respond to our questions and she was flexible with timing leading up to our big day since we had a larger group of girls to get ready. Our bridesmaids said she was great to talk with while she was applying make up. We would highly recommend her for events.
Jenessa and crew did the hair and make-up for my wedding and I was very pleased. She was prompt and kept the line moving! We have over 12 girls getting make-up done and we finished ahead of schedule! The air brush stayed on all night long, and trust me I was dancing! Thanks again!
Jenessa came out from Chicago to Wheaton to do all my entire party. She made us all feel so comfortable, as we’ve never had airbrush done before. If you’re worried about airbrush, know it didn’t budge all night, despite sweating and tears. We all looked gorgeous, I highly recommend using her
Janessa and her team were awesome! Her makeup looks very natural and pretty. She includes lashes and airbrushing in her price so it was very affordable. The hair stylists did a great job giving everyone exactly what they wanted.
Jenessa and her team were great to work with and very responsive! I had a lot of questions and she was very patient and took her time. I would recommend!
I had the pleasure of meeting Jenessa Blaine for my sons wedding. Jenessa did a phenomenal job. We had 13 girls including the bride and she got us all done with time to spare. My makeup looked very natural yet dramatic enough for the “mother of the groom”. She was friendly, professional and quick! I would use her again with no reservations in a heart beat.
I was drawn to Jenessa’s website because of her location and stellar reviews. Once I saw photos of her work I was excited to set up my trial. I was unsure about airbrush and falsies, but now I am so glad I went with it as my wedding day was long & wet. And after the trial day I knew that it would hold up the whole day no matter what. She has a gift to enhance your palette and keep the final look flawless yet natural. She is incredibly flexible and willing to be there for you on your timeline. Thanks again, Jenessa!
I hired Jenessa and Nicole to do my hair and make up for my wedding and they did an amazing job! It was so natural looking and lasted all day and night. I could not have been happier!
First off – Jenessa and her team were awesome! Jenessa from the very beginning was really flexible with her dates and times when planning my trial run for my makeup. She also bore with me as I changed my number of bridesmaids getting their hair and make up done every two minutes and answered the number of questions I had. She was always prompt getting back to me and let me know everything up front. On the day of the wedding she showed up on time with her crew and got each girl done efficiently and looking BEAUTIFUL! I had a few girls that were on the fence about getting airbrush make up done because they had a few…
Jenessa was great to work with for our wedding. She was flexible and responded to all of our questions promptly. She provides a high quality service that’s customizable to what you need and fits the style of your day. She did makeup for people varied in age range, and everyone looked great. Makeup lasted well all night and turned out well in photos, despite being outside and the heat.
Jenessa was such a pleasure to work with for my wedding on May 19th! She was very relaxed and would listen to what everyone had asked with their makeup and hair styles. She was very calm and relaxed which helped my wedding jitters on the big day! She offered her husband’s law office to get ready instead of getting ready in our hotel room, so she is very accommodating. I would for sure work with Jenessa again!
Jenessa was amazing! From the very beginning she was professional, prompt, efficient, and in my opinion could not have done a better job. I hired her and did my trial run for my engagement photos which turned out perfect. She came to my venue in Chicago and provided make-up services including airbrush and eyelashes to myself, all 6 of my bridesmaids and my mom for my April wedding. Everyone looked gorgeous and the makeup stayed all day. We just got our pictures back and her work truly shines through. I would highly recommend Jenessa for any make up needs!
We hired Jenessa to do the makeup for our daughter’s wedding on 3/3/18 — she was absolutely fabulous. Not only is she an incredibly talented artist, but she is, also, a pleasure to work with. She is calm, laid-back, fun, and willing to listen to what her clients want. There is no doubt that we will use her again for the special events in our lives. For reference, I am the mother-of-the-bride.
Carly was absolutely wonderful to work with! I found her by reading reviews online and she lived up to everything that I read. She did a trial before the wedding to make sure the look was what I wanted and was very thoughtful about what would look right with my skin tone as well as being very knowledgeable about the look and products she was using which made me feel comfortable. She listened to what I said I liked but also gave suggestions and was willing to change certain aspects of the look, which I appreciated. Carly was very organized, emailing me with next steps and reminders which made working with her very easy. Carly alone did 10 girls…
