Book wendy!
Wendy was absolutely amazing. She is very responsive and professional. She took her time to understand my needs. She even took time to help me with a lipstick trial so we could nail down the perfect look. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
She is highly skilled and has an incredible work resume. You’ll be in excellent hands if you book Wendy. -

Amazing Wedding Makeup!
Wendy and Niki did a fabulous job on me and my bridesmaid's wedding makeup. Wendy was easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding and fully understood the look I was going for. My bridesmaids and I were very happy with how we looked on the day of the wedding. I highly recommend Wendy and Niki! -

Wendy and Niki did make-up for my 4 bridesmaids and I, as well as my mom and mother-in-law. They listened to our requests and adjusted the look based on preference, which resulted in everyone loving their make-up. Would highly recommend Visage Joli! Great results and both Wendy and Niki are friendly and fun! -

Wendy was very responsive, professional and easy to book with. She was also very thorough and precise in explaining everything. She has over 30 years of experience and did a beautiful job on the make-up for myself, my sister, my daughter-in-law and my niece. We all looked beautiful and it lasted all night! Her airbrushing and make-up was very natural and photographed beautifully! I received many compliments on my "look"! Great! -

As an older bride I wanted to look lovely but understated in my makeup. Wendy totally got this and In the words of my guests I was beautiful, looked amazing and beaming. Wendy is meticulous in her preparation and application and delightful to work with! Erandi styled my hair in lovely loose waves that withstood a rainy day. I would definitely choose this team for any special event where you want to shine -

Wendy and Erandi are professional, down to earth, and reliable. They took their time during the trial to make sure everything was exactly the way I wanted to look on the day of. Still in awe of how my bridal look came to life and how they took every detail into account. If you are looking for a fun and personable group, Wendy and Erandi should be at the top of your list, they will make your dream look come to life in a way that's even better than your expectations! -

Two days before my daughters wedding the makeup/hair provider canceled. I found Wendy of Visage Jolie by goggling. Her location was near us. Fortunately she was able to get me in for a morning appt. I was nervous knowing nothing except her website and talking to her on the phone. I'm 73 and knew I wanted to look natural, get rid of my dark circles and accent my eyes and of course I had a limited time as I was not at the venue as originally planned. She was wonderful, handled my nerves gently, listened to my desires and finished in the hour I had given her. And everyone including me thought I looked wonderful and a best version of myself. WIsh the pics were back so I could include. I highly recommend Wendy. -

Wendy is a terrific and very talented makeup artist! She prepared methodically to create a completely custom look for each of us, and honored my desire for a very natural appearance to look like myself. My makeup was flawless, lasted throughout the day and night, and our photos turned out beautifully. I can't recommend her enough to every bride! Top scores for communication and flexibility too... she is a true professional. -

I had a fantastic experience working with Wendy and Renee for my wedding!
Wendy is so caring, detailed, experienced and responsive. I couldn't imagine someone who was more invested in making sure I, and every other woman in my wedding, looked their absolute best at my wedding while feeling totally comfortable with their makeup application. She is extremely attentive to every detail, not only for me (the bride) but also for my mom, MOG, and bridesmaids. Wendy asked for pictures of everyone in advance, as well as what color dress everyone would be wearing so she could come prepared with ideas and all tools necessary. I've never worn a lot of makeup and wanted a natural look, and Wendy did wonderful work delivering on natural while making sure it was enough to come through in photos!
Renee can do whatever you want with your hair! She is super easy-going, efficient and creative. She can look at an inspiration photo and easily replicate it, but she's also willing to offer suggestions if the look won't work or look right with your particular hair. Just to give an example of Renee's personality - my mom didn't want to get her hair done, but when she walked in to my hotel room after getting dressed (with her short hair looking very flat), Renee gently suggested "can I touch up your hair for you?" - and proceeded to make my mom's hair look 100x times better in 5 minutes (my mom agreed).
Both Wendy and Renee have decades of experience and they're competitively priced with all the "big box" hair and makeup outfits in Chicago. They're also much more flexible (no "you have to have x many people for us to come to you...") and much more personable than any other options I found in Chicago. You are definitely getting a fantastic value going with them! I couldn't recommend them enough!! -

Wendy is a true artist! She did my wedding make up in September. I brought her a few references for my look, and she executed it with skill and precision. Such a wonderful person to spend time with on your special day as well. Really showed a lot of care for the work she does and the people in her care. Thanks, Wendy! -
Linda Sent on 09/17/2018Would recommend Wendy and Renee for anything- not just weddings. They were perfect - my trial was great however they made adjustments after they reviewed the photos they took. I continually got notes from them, everything was explained as far as costs from the beginning- and no hidden charges. I cannot say enough about the professionalism and I would go back to both of them for any time I want to look amazing. Additionally, they followed up with me after the wedding.

Di Sent on 08/23/2018What can I say about this team!! Wendy and Renee are superheroes.
Wendy does TV make up during the week and has applied makeup for many celebrities. People, you’re getting an experienced celebrity makeup artist! Because of that, Wendy has great stories to share and can more than handle wedding day-related drama with no problem. Wendy is truly an artist and helped me achieve a really gorgeous look during the trial and wedding day. I didn’t even know that that kind of “red carpet look” was possible for me! Additionally, my wedding was held in an unairconditioned church on a 90 degree day!! The makeup had no problem making it through not just the hot ceremony, but the ENTIRE day/night— these were conditions that would have easily melted any of my DIY attempts off my face. Wendy did an awesome job with my bridesmaids, who had diverse skin tones and ethnicities— my bridesmaids were not use to having event makeup on, but they looked stunning once they had the complete package with hair and their gowns.
Renee is an amazing hairstylist, she has an easy-going demeanor and produces some gorgeous hairstyles. She created an updo for me that fit my face and gown, it looked like origami! On the morning of the wedding, Renee had an idea for my hairstyle and she found the time to run over to the beauty store and get an extension;what a generous thing for her to do! For my bridesmaids, she worked quickly on her wedding morning to give them a style they loved.
If you’re not someone who typically wears a lot of makeup or fancy hairstyles, I definitely recommend doing the trial. It helped me get over the “shock” of having makeup on, get used to the look, and gain feedback from friends that I still looked like me! I still looked like me... it just took me a while to seeing myself in the mirror glammed up like that. Anyway, you won’t be disappointed going with Wendy and Renee at Visage Joli for your wedding or special event! Once I have more photos, I’ll share them! -

Wendy helped make the biggest day of my life perfect!
From the initial make up demo, to the big day, Wendy had my best interest at heart. She was prepared and spent the time to make sure I looked flawless for my wedding. The entire group that got make up done had nothing but outstanding compliments given to them! My make up lasted all day and evening, theough the tears and sweat! THANK YOU WENDY!!!! -

Having recently came to US way of Fiancee visa, the wedding plans had to be in place soon and having proper makeup was a must. My Fiancee heard of a person who had many years of experience in the field. Wendy Kimmel, a makeup artist for Visage Joli Makeup & Hair Chicago, was very helpful. She is very good in knowing what makeup is best for one's skin and on which portion of the face to highlight. She is very good at seeing all the features in ones face and bringing them together beautifully. She asked me for several pictures of myself and had me view several pictures of others to help zero in on what would work best. Wendy was very accommodating as she was there on site of the wedding with all her equipment until after the ceremony. "With great care and skill Wendy truly made my bride the highlight of the day" says Tom, the groom, " I always get compliments on how beautiful my bride appears when people see the pictures. Thank you Wendy for all you have done to make our day very special." -
