Melissa did both my hair and make up for my wedding in Chicago and it was flawless. I've never felt so beautiful! She has so much talent and experience that she was able to help me through choosing the right look for my big day. She chose make-up colors for me that to this day I am still following!

Besides me looking my best thanks to Melissa, you must know that she is so kind, professional and isn't satisfied until you look perfect. She is the most talented and skilled Hair and MUA I've ever worked with, which is saying a lot because as an apparel designer I've worked on my fair share of photoshoots and runways!

If you want someone you can truly count on for your big day then Melissa is your girl!
