We Only Do Pretty

We Only Do Pretty is the best! They were so efficient and helped to make the morning run so smoothly on my wedding day. They were so much fun to work with and really captured what my wedding party and I were wanting for our hair and makeup. Cannot recommend enough!

Eliora and We Only Do Pretty were so great to work with on our wedding day! We scheduled We Only Do Pretty to do hair and makeup for the bride, and hair for the bridesmaids. Everything turned out lovely! I actually feel like most of my wedding photos are of my back, because I kept telling the photographer to make sure to get my hair 🙂 (Also, we appreciated We Only Do Pretty’s ability to be flexible with a venue that wasn’t the most accommodating on timing/getting ready rooms.)

I cannot recommend them enough! The trial went great and she really listened to everything I had to say. I requested some adjustments on the actual wedding day, which she did perfectly! Every bit of makeup stayed in place the whole night (and if I’m being honest I didn’t take it off before bed and I woke up with it still in place, not a single smudge). And my hair! I was really nervous since I have naturally curly hair and a long history of people not knowing hoe to properly handle it. I told her that I wanted to embrace my natural curls which she was super excited about. The final product was just amazing, I don’t think… Read more

When the bridal hair stylist I wanted to work with moved out of the area, she strongly recommended that I work with We Only Do Pretty for bridal party hair and makeup, and I’m so glad she did, because it was a breeze from start to finish! I had a hard time finding people who would come on site for a small bridal party (7 including moms and flower girl), and WODP was more than willing to do it at a very reasonable and transparent price. Ashley (makeup) and Jean (hair) were assigned to me based on their availability. They were a dream team – Ashley brought the sweetness and levity, Jean brought the efficiency and authority that my… Read more

If you are looking for absolute professionals for your wedding hair and makeup look no further. I am so happy I chose We Only Do Pretty for my wedding. Eliora and Lauren were beyond amazing. Through two hair trials due to a dress change and then traveling to my out of state wedding, it was a smooth and seamless process. I wanted a very complicated braided hairstyle I was not even sure was possible and a specific look for makeup and they both executed it perfectly with seeming ease. On the morning of my wedding they arrived promptly and got right to work – knocking out six bridesmaids, three moms, a flower girl, and me. Everyone looked so beautiful… Read more

Kristin and Lauren are the absolute best!! They are incredible with hair and makeup and they are super fun to be around. They are the perfect dynamic duo for an event. My wedding party had the best time with them. They perfectly executed the hair and makeup of each person in my wedding party. They were also extremely accommodating whenever someone was dissatisfied with something. They did not take the critique offensively whatsoever; they just wanted their clients to be happy. Krysten is also my regular hairstylist because of how great she is with hair. I love how laid back she is. I enjoy going to see her and have recommended her to my friends as well. She is… Read more

As someone who does not do my own makeup very often, finding someone to do hair and makeup for our wedding felt nearly impossible. I originally booked We Only Do Pretty on a whim, after seeing they did a wedding for a Cubs wife, but I am SO grateful for that impulse decision. Lauren and Eliora immediately felt more like friends than people I had hired. They made my trial extremely relaxed and fun, and made sure that their expertise was made known when I needed help envisioning my look for the big day. They showed up promptly the morning of my wedding, and made all of my bridesmaids look absolutely stunning! When I asked Eliora to change up… Read more

I can’t say enough about this company. They were so helpful and responsive with my questions. I love the a la carte option they have because not a lot of places offer that and it was so flexible for me and my bridesmaids. Ashley was AMAZING. It was so fun having her there with us that morning. She did an amazing job with everyone’s make up. My make up was flawless the whole day/night. My lashes stayed on. My face was not oily (that is a big problem I normally struggle with). She even gave me a little touch up bag that inlcuded extra glue for my lashes (wasn’t even needed), extra lip gloss, finishing powder, and oil wipes…. Read more

Oh my goodness…Kristin and Lauren are miracle workers! They made my girls and I look like movie stars in the most natural way! They set such a high standard that one of my engaged bridesmaids was unhappy with all other trials and rushed back to book We Only Do Pretty! Incomparable service – love these ladies!

When I was first looking for a HMU vendor, I was drawn to the natural and beautiful makeup as well as the gorgeous braided hairstyles I saw posted on their Instagram. Meeting Eliora in person for my bride trial was an absolute dream. We easily clicked and she listened so well to all my requests and concerns down to the smallest detail regarding my desired hairstyle and makeup preferences. She was also able to point me in the right direction for hair extensions and was very quick to respond to an emails I sent after the trial with questions. I really appreciated both her artistic vision and how organized she and Ashley were on the day of with sticking… Read more

I used We Only Do Pretty for hair and makeup services for my wedding. Kristin was incredibly responsive and met with me for a trial and a haircut prior to the wedding. She is friendly and creative and came up with a beautiful style that was perfect for me. Kristin also created beautiful styles for my bridesmaids and was fun and charismatic to work with. Lauren provided makeup services on the day of the wedding and was similarly fun and creative. She did an amazing job with my bridesmaids and family, who all have very different skin tones and types. Lauren was totally accommodating and also provided additional assistance with applying fake lashes. The whole experience was fun and the end result was beautiful and authentic. I would absolutely recommend We Only Do Pretty!

My bridal party was just me and my Maid I’d Honor, and we had a difficult time finding a hair stylist who would travel to our location because it was just the two of us. Stacy from We Only Do Pretty did an incredible job on my gorgeous updo! It stayed perfect all day and all night, my curls held well and didn’t frizz our despite some misty rain during our outdoor ceremony, and Stacy made sure the ornate hair comb I wanted in my updo was perfectly pinned in and secure.

Additionally, Stacy was just wonderfully nice and fun to chat with. It was like having a friend come to do your hair. She was excellent and I couldn’t recommend her more. She also did a half-up style for my sister that looked stunning.
