Chicago Makeup and Hair Professionals

TLDR: 5 stars for hair services themselves; suggestions on improving communication and staying on time. I booked wedding hair services with Audrey for my September wedding, and she and her assistant did a good job on our big day. My bridesmaids were also very happy with their hair services. They performed the service efficiently, with great attention to detail, and our hairstyles lasted perfectly. While this does not discredit any of their professional qualities in wedding hair and makeup, I would encourage the team to improve communication with clients. 1) First, 5 days before my wedding, Audrey realized they misunderstood what services I requested and the day-of timeline, because the content of my email 2 months ago was misread. She ended up altering the contract to add an assistant to fit my timeline, and I was asked to make a balance payment bigger than anticipated in the original agreement. Audrey corrected the mistake in good faith, and even offered us complementary makeup touch ups (which she performed to everyone’s satisfaction). But recognize that such miscommunications so close to the wedding is stressful and should have been avoided. 2) Second, in the same communication 5 days before the wedding, I was told twice in the text I “missed a payment” for the balance due one month before the wedding date. Truth was that on the balance payment date, I sent an email to inquire if they could request the balance through my Zelle, they said yes they would, and even though I never received a Zelle request, I got no further follow up on how to make the payment, which was confusing to me. Do avoid accusing your clients of missing payments if they reached out about it in good faith and your team was not on top of communicating the process. 3) The hairstylists arrived 40 minutes and 60+ minutes late respectively to the scheduled start time. I recognize that Audrey built in cushion time to account for rainy day traffic, but having my hair finished one hour later than expected did eat into the makeup and photography time, which was stressful.

Choosing Audrey Tunis from Chicago Hair and Make Up Pros was absolutely one of the best wedding decisions we’ve made — she’s the owner of her business and truly care about giving the best services to ensure “you feel the best you” on your wedding day. She is an artist by trait - so she truly care in doing a beautiful job! I felt she truly heard me and helped me find what kind of natural, glowy look that fits me best, and she did an excellent job on my fine hair as well. In terms of professionalism, she’s very responsive, communicative, and went above and beyond to secure a 3rd makeup artist lady to accommodate my last minute OOT family member on her own cost, to ensure we’re on a good timeline and not rushed. Definitely recommend Audrey and her team for a wonderful and reliable wedding make up and hair team!

Audrey was fantastic from start to finish! A great communicator, she listened to my requests and was absolutely accommodating and flexible. She’s a genuinely lovely person and so easy to get along with, she put everyone at ease and it felt like we had another friend in the room with us. I was so stressed when the day started but she kept me calm and laughing the whole time and made me feel so beautiful and confident. The hair and makeup lasted beautifully all day without any touch ups and the pictures turned amazing. So professional and fabulous, I’d recommend Audrey to anyone. Simply wonderful!

Loved, Loved, Loved my natural hair and makeup for our special day! Audrey is pure talent and a heck of an artist. Wish I could have her “doll” me up everyday!

Audrey and Natasha literally saved my wedding. We had a huge mix up and my original vendor due to a total lack of communication and we reached out to Audrey in the final hour pretty much. They were able to book a trail during a really specific time period as I was traveling back to Chicagoland area from my home state and Natasha NAILED my vision. When it came to the actual wedding, my girls said they have never felt more beautiful. She did exactly what everybody wanted and some of them even let her freestyle and she was perfection. I had originally wanted a matte eye look and I am so glad she was able to talk me out of that because the simmers were SO subtle and the perfect little something something. She addressed me skin concerns and made me look so smooth. My hair. Drop dead gorgeous. It lasted from 10 AM to midnight in the humid MI weather with winds!!! I wore those curls for 3 more days!!! The makeup lasted ALL night!!! I could not recommend them enough. Audrey and Natasha were so professional, organized, clean, and able to go with the flow. I would book them for any other event that I needed hair and makeup done for again in a heart beat without hesitation. Do yourself a favor and BOOK.

Audrey was great to work with from start to finish. She was attentive in scheduling a trial and listened to all our preferences while also thoughtfully guiding us on recommendations. She and her team handled 10 of us in total- the entire team was on time, finished with plenty of time for touch ups, and made sure each of us felt good about our look. We’re so happy we chose to work with her!

Audrey did an INCREDIBLE job with the hair and makeup for my wedding! From the trial through the big day, she made everything so simple and was able to help me find a way to tailor some of the inspiration photos I had into something that would work perfectly for me. I am not someone who wears a lot of makeup, and the makeup look she did was PERFECT. Super subtle but glam. It also held up the whole day despite rain, tears, and sweat. Audrey - thank you for making me feel like a model on my big day!

To be honest, I was a bit nervous in organizing hair and makeup for an out of town wedding. After calling several vendors I settled with Chicago Makeup and Hair Professionals. Audrey was responsive to all communication before and leading up to the wedding day festivities. Audrey recommended the ladies in group select their personal style for hair and makeup prior to the event in order to have the best look. Natasha was our stylist, from the moment she arrived and set up her equipment I knew we were in good hands. All three of us had a flawless look , in fact our makeup lasted all day. Personally, my hair looked amazing in a very elegant and classic "updo" look. The wedding was at the Field Museum in Chicago, a beautiful venue for a wedding event and Natasha made each of us feel so special!

The Chicago Makeup team is amazing! I worked with Annalise who was truly awesome. Not only did she give me my dream hair and makeup, but she also brought a fun, calm energy to the getting-ready room! Thank you, Annalise!!

Audrey did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and she was wonderful! I know absolutely nothing about hairstyling or makeup and she was so helpful and patient, both during the preview and the day of the wedding. She was very responsive to inquiries, and accommodating about my timeline and the fact that I was out of state. She is really knowledgeable, but also listened to find out what I was looking for and then was able to match that to what she thought would look good on me. The day of the wedding, she and Natasha were again really helpful and patient, which was great, as most of the party had little experience with formal hair and makeup. They also made getting ready more fun and less stressful. Everybody was ready on time and looked lovely! I would very much recommend Chicago Hair and Makeup Professionals, and I appreciated all their help!

Audrey and her team was amazing, she did such a great job with all of us and I couldnt have ask for anything better

I had my wedding last month and the hair and makeup for my ladies came out phenomenal! (I really did feel like a princess that day) This was really amazing service, and Audrey was very responsive with me whenever something needed to be done or if I had any questions and if I needed any adjustments. All the hair and makeup artists were punctual on day of wedding and they were very professional with their services. The ladies finished on time with time on touch ups. Would love to thank Christa, Gina, Maria, and Audrey for all their hard work and services! We would have been lost without them

Very kind and accommodating! I got so many compliments on my make up and hair on my big day! We got married on a typical Chicago super windy day but my hair stay put (and didn’t look crunchy)! So glad I went with Audrey and her team!

Audrey's team of stylists, Christa & Natalia, came and did my and my bridesmaids' hair and makeup at my wedding venue the morning of my wedding. I could not be more thrilled with the results! Not only were they kind and professional, but myself and my bridesmaids all said we have never had better hair or makeup services! After 12+ hours, my hair and makeup continued to look flawless. On the back end, Audrey was a pleasure to work with setting up the services. I was especially grateful that she had availability for my wedding as I contacted her in May about a September wedding! Overall I am just blown away by every moment of my experience with Chicago Makeup & Hair Professionals and I can't wait to recommend them to my friends!

Audrey was so much fun to work with! From my trial to the wedding day she was so friendly, professional, and did amazing work. Everyone looked beautiful for the wedding and I never felt prettier in my life. Audrey and her assistants went a long way into making my wedding day truly special.

Audrey is amazing!! She was very kind, passionate, and an expert at makeup & hair. She made me feel beautiful. I will always recommend her!!!

Love love Audrey! I've used her services ( hair and make up) on a few occasions and loved my look evey time! She is a true artist and plan to her her company for my May 2022 wedding. Highly recommend her!

I have hired Audrey and her team for years. Their skills and professionalism are unmatched. They truly listen to what you want. I have hired them for weddings, Gala events, professional family photos, and even Halloween events. My hair and make up always look absolutely stunning and I receive a ton of compliments. I highly recommend these women for any event that you have where you want to look and feel gorgeous!

Audrey and her team were incredible! They did a fabulous job with everyone’s hair and makeup! She made me a beyond happy bride with my gorgeous hair and beautiful makeup! I can’t help but adore the photos of myself, bridesmaids and my mom! We received so many compliments! An all around wonderful experience with Chicago Makeup and Hair Professionals!

I cannot say enough good things about how everything turned out! Audrey truly made me feel like a princess bride for my wedding! She does amazing work, and I couldn’t be happier!!

I was very fortunate to be able to schedule a trial session before the wedding, and I was already sure during the session that I would definitely have Audrey on my big day! You made me feel totally at ease and I simply loved the vibes around you! You addressed my concerns and made me look flawless :) I was also very impressed that you and your team took an extra step that you paid a lot of attention on my bridesmaids' preferences. You and your team took care of all of us very well and we had an enjoyable day getting ready! It did set us up on an ultra good mood for the day. I would recommend you to any future brides!

They were INCREDIBLE!! On time, fun to be around, and artists. I felt like a princess on my big day. I don't know a lot about make-up or hair, so they made sure I felt comfortable and happy with my look. They were awesome.

Audrey understood my vision from the very beginning and I absolutely loved my bridal hair and makeup. It was exactly what I wanted.

During the craziness of the pandemic, I am so lucky to have found Audrey with Chicago Makeup and Hair Professionals. Let me preface this review by admitting that I am VERY picky about my hair! I showed Audrey some “inspiration” of what I wanted my hair to look like before we met, and during the trial, she walked me through exactly what she was going to do to achieve the look I wanted. She was receptive to feedback and we were able to work together to achieve the EXACT hair I wanted. She even gave me some tips on how to “prep” my hair the morning of the wedding to achieve the level of volume I desired. My hair turned out flawless on my wedding day - and that’s not an exaggeration. It was voluminous, shiny, with just the perfect amount of curl. And it stayed put throughout the entire day and evening! I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Audrey. She was pleasant, professional, and above all, exceptionally talented. The next time I need my hair done for a special event, Audrey will be the first person I call. Thank you again!

HIGHLY recommend Audrey and her team. She was wonderful to work with from the beginning, and made me and my girls look so beautiful! My hair was a masterpiece and my makeup stayed on all day long through the smiles and inevitable tears - do the air brush and eyelashes. Thanks again for making me feel my very best on such a big day!

Audrey and Natasha did an excellent job on my wedding day. They made my girls look gorgeous and Audrey in particular gave me the bridal look I wanted—I got compliments all night long and the make-up/hair never faded or fell. The only reasons I’m not giving 5 stars are: a) the first stab Audrey took at my hair was not really what we agreed upon at my trial, but thankfully she was able to easily fix it after I pointed it out; and b) she was about 20 minutes late which put us behind on our photography schedule a bit. But at the end of the day, what mattered is that we all looked and felt beautiful and that’s what she and her team delivered. (I also really appreciated them doing full-face make-up for us during COVID.)

Audrey is fun and her bridal hair/makeup are fantastic! She really listens to your needs and makes you look and feel beautiful.

Was in Chicago for a conference and Audrey Tunis helped me achieve my look. Audrey was extremely prompt in replying to emails/texts. VERY professional and she created a custom look for me, which was fabulous. Would definitely recommend Audrey for your special day!

Audrey takes away your worries by enhancing your beauty and boosting your confidence for your special day. She is intuitive and exudes an aura of calm which is what you need to relax. Audrey is a highly-skilled and experienced professional makeup artist. She made my wife and I feel beautiful, carefree, and most importantly, photogenic. Whether you wear makeup and style your hair regularly and especially if you don’t, I highly recommend the services of Chicago Makeup and Hair Professionals.

Audrey and her team were amazing on my wedding day. They were on time, professional, fun and made each bridesmaid and myself look absolutely stunning for the best day of my life. The touch up after the ceremony was an amazing service and took very little time so that I still could go and enjoy cocktail hour and our reception. She took care of every detail and nailed the look we were all going for! I would recommend Audrey to any bride, bridesmaid, mother of the bride/groom or anyone looking for a special look for a special occasion. She and her team are the best in Chicago!

Audrey was AMAZING! She is so kind and loving. Audrey took the time to make sure my very think and long hair looked perfect(it was beautiful up-do) that stayed the entire night. My makeup looked GREAT! And most importantly, I felt wonderful!

Audrey was professional yet personal and worked with me in a trial and the day of the wedding to do my hair and makeup exactly like I wanted for my big day. She also did my daughter’s hair and makeup and everything stayed throughout the night for both of us!

Audrey did a great job for me for my son’s wedding. She came to my hotel and did my makeup. She made me look fabulous. I got so many compliments all night long. Audrey was very professional and answered my questions quickly. She worked with me to figure out the look I wanted. I would highly recommend her services.

Audrey is THE BEST! She and her team were amazing and made me and my girls feel beautiful the day of my wedding. We had a big group (me plus 11 bridesmaids, MOB, MOG, and my grandma) and Audrey had everyone finished with plenty of time. Everyone in my bridal party said their hair and make up turned out exactly how they wanted. I could not have been happier with how everything turned out, and I can not recommend Audrey and her team highly enough. She’s amazing!!!

Audrey was amazing!! She understood exactly the look I was going for on my wedding day! I loved my makeup! Not only that, she is so kind and easy to work with! I would definitely recommend Audrey to anyone looking for an incredible makeup artist!!

Audrey made me look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day! She was helpful throughout the entire process from day 1. She always always available for questions through email and text, and answered all my questions quickly. She is so sweet and kind and it was amazing to have her there on my wedding day. My whole bridal party loved their hair and makeup! Audrey is the best!!

Audrey did a great job on making me look fabulous for my sons wedding. She did my hair and make up from a photo I showed her and it was just the way I wanted it! One of the best parts is it lasted all night and even the next day! (a beauty no-no I slept in it) Thank you Audrey!!

Chicago Makeup and Hair Professionals were absolutely amazing on my wedding day. Audrey and her team were professional, pleasant and punctual. From our trial run to the big day I felt at ease and confident that I would have the look I hoped for. On the big day, I was overwhelmed with joy with the final look of my hair and make-up. I don’t think that I have ever felt so soft and stunning. My bridesmaids were super gorgeous as well. All around spectacular service and true artistry. Without their design and approach my day would never have been as special as it was. Definitely will be using Audrey her team again! Thank you Audrey and team!

I can’t speak highly enough of Audrey and her team. She made me feel so incredibly beautiful on my wedding day. My bridesmaids all felt so great about their hair and makeup (and they are tough to please). I would recommend Audrey over and over and hope to have the opportunity to work with her again!

If you want to look stunning on your wedding day, you must book with this company! From the moment I first contacted Chicago Makeup and Hair Professionals, Audrey and her team were attentive and accommodating to all my requests. Natasha arrived early the morning of the wedding and worked efficiently to do makeup and hair for me and my mom. I was beyond happy with my hair and makeup and my mom looked gorgeous! Natasha has a wonderful personality and I’m so glad she helped me get ready on the big day. Thank you Natasha for making me look absolutely beautiful on my wedding!!!

I couldn't have pictured a more relaxing pampering on my wedding day. Audrey and her team absolutely nailed it!!! It is always nice when your expectations match the outcome. I would recommend the CMHP team to any bride looking for a high end service and personalized approach.

Audrey and her team were fabulous! Their attention to detail with how everyone looked in the bridal party (flower girls to grandmothers) was extraordinary! More importantly, their attention to how we felt with our look is what made each of us feel so beautiful on this very special day.

Audrey and her team were absolutely great!

Audrey and her team were absolutely fabulous! I loved working with them. From the moment I reached out to Audrey, she was quick to reply to my inquiry and organized at every step of the process. Any time I had questions or concerns she would text or email me within the day. She made me feel like my wedding was important to her and not just another wedding on her calendar. Her and her team were on time and very efficient on the day of my wedding. Everyone was friendly and incredibly talented!! I kept turning around and looking at my bridesmaids saying “Oh my god she looks amazing! Look what they did with her hair!” Etc. Everyone looked so beautiful. Audrey is kind and cares about your opinions and input in regards to what you want for your wedding “look.” I highly recommend Chicago Hair and Makeup Pros, and am so thankful they were there to help with my special day!

Had such a wonderful experience with Audrey and Daniella! They both created unique hair and makeup for everyone in the bridal party so we each had our own look. I came ill-prepared with basically no ideas, and they just ran with it and made me look beautiful! Everyone was just gorgeous and beamed with confidence. They were timely and added a calmness to the room that day :) Would definitely recommend Audrey and her team to anyone looking for fresh hair and makeup for their special event!

I was unsure about getting my make-up done profesionally done because I wanted a very natural look and I was afraid off having too many layers caked on. Audrey was amazing and ended up proving me wrong. At the trial she took her time going back and forth and getting a clear idea of what I had envisioned myself looking like on my wedding day. On the big day she was punctual, kind and really put me at ease. The end result was everything I had asked for. Very happy she was part of our day!

I am so happy that I came across Audrey with Chicago Makeup and Hair Professionals. I did a trial with her and instantly knew she was the one! She listens to everything you want and works with you to make sure you are completely satisfied. Makeup and hair is always a stressful part for a bride ( or Atleast it was for me!) But Audrey made the process so smooth and her personality really puts you at ease. She is so sweet and down to earth ! On my wedding day, my hair and makeup was everything I wanted and more. Simple , elegant, and beautiful. All of my bridesmaids (8) also looked beautiful and were very happy with their services. With having 8 bridesmaids and myself -Audrey and her team completed all of our looks in perfect timing for when my photographer arrived at my house. I highly recommend Audrey with Chicago Makeup and Hair Professionals!

I loved everything about Chicago Makeup and Hair Professials! Audrey and her team of talented makeup and hair artists really went above and beyond to make my bridesmaids and I truly stunning on my big day! Audrey did my hair and makeup and they really did stay all day and night. It was THE hottest day of the summer. Through sweat and dancing the face and eye makeup were still there by the end of the night, and my hair was also intact until I was ready to take it down and go to bed I couldn’t believe it all lasted! Thanks to these artists my pictures turned out amazing and I can’t wait to have an excuse to use them again! Thanks girls :)

I used Chicago Makeup and Hair Professionals for my 6/16/18 wedding. They did hair and makeup for myself, mom and 7 bridesmaids. They were friendly, on time and professional. Even on a 97 degree day, all of our hair and makeup was still in tact at 2:30 in the morning! I highly recommend their services!

We recently used Chicago Makeup and Hair Proffesionals for my son’s wedding. Their service was amazing all the way: my mom, my daughter, my nieces and I, we all looked beautiful and very natural. Audrey and Natasha did a wonderful job with our hair and makeup!!! The best👍🏻👍🏻Super highly reccomended!!!

My daughter looked amazing. I looked amazing. My daughters bridal party knows makeup and they were very impressed with their looks! Highly recommend this company.

They were extremely professional and did a fantastic job! They listened to my ideas an the style I wanted to have and they created a look that was even better than I thought!

This was a great company to work with! Their work was very prompt, professional, and personalized. The hair and makeup session Was awesome. It made me feel beautiful for a very important day.
