About
Bridal beauty should feel as extraordinary and unforgettable as your wedding day itself.
With over a decade in the bridal beauty industry, I specialize in creating personalized, elevated hair and makeup experiences for brides in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. As an independent artist, you’ll receive my full attention from trial to final touch-up.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all bridal beauty, I take time to understand your personal style, wedding vision, and unique features, then design a look that feels authentically you.. timeless, polished, and camera-ready.
From our first consultation to those final moments before you walk down the aisle, I’m here to make the entire process feel effortless, luxurious, and deeply personal.
If that’s the kind of bridal beauty experience you’re looking for, I’d love to chat about your day.

Keziah made my hair and makeup dreams come true for my wedding! She was incredibly friendly and helpful from start to finish and took the time to really understand the look I was going for.We had a great hair and makeup trial, and she made sure to incorporate all of my feedback into my wedding day look. She absolutely delivered! I felt like a real-life princess and truly beautiful on my wedding day.Even after a full day of getting ready, taking photos, celebrating, and dancing, my hair and makeup still looked like it had just been done. Keziah and her second stylist also did the hair and makeup for my bridal party, and everyone was so happy with how everything turned out.I am so glad Keziah was part of our big day and would highly recommend her to any bride looking for a talented and reliable hair and makeup artist!

Keziah and her team are simply incredible! I have no words to describe how thankful I am to have had her be a part of my wedding! Choosing them to do hair and make up for my wedding day was one of the best decisions I made throughout the wedding planning process!!! They were so incredible from start to finish and brought so much joy and happiness to our big day. They perfectly executed everybodys inspo and made everybody in the wedding party feel so confident. I could not recommend LAtelier more for your wedding day beauty needs!!!!!

Simply put, Keziah is THAT GIRL! It was such a joy to work with her and her team for my wedding. I looked and felt absolutely stunning. From the very beginning Keziah was very open and communicative and really listened to my vision which she executed flawlessly. When I met her in person for my preview I could immediately sense it was going to be a beautiful collaboration. We had a great time and it felt like I was talking to a long time friend. She is a warm and caring human and that translates into her work. I had two ceremonies in the same weekend (traditional Ghanaian followed by an American ceremony the next day) and two completely different styles and she knocked them both out of the park. Because of this, she recommended I use clip ins since I also didnt want to over manipulate my hair and the ones she recommended matched my hair texture perfectly. I really could go on and on about how amazing her and her team is. Everyone looked beautiful for the ceremonies and we had so much fun. Im definitely going to find another reason to work with her again lol HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This is a hard review for me to write because my first impressions with Keziah were so positive! During our initial call, we talked for over an hour and Keziah made me feel so comfortable, like I wasn't "just another bride". I appreciated that she took the time to get to know me and my needs rather then just sending me pricing and a contract. Ultimately, that call is what convinced me to go with L'atelier.However, as my wedding date got closer, it felt like something shifted. I got the impression that Keziah was stepping back from her business in Texas or in the process of moving and this seriously hurt my experience.Getting ahold of Keziah for anything, including scheduling my trial, confirming the day-of schedule, etc. was very challenging. Most of the time she took over 7 days to reply -- sometimes as much as 10 days after I had to follow up. From the day I reached out about scheduling my trial, it took almost a month to get a solid confirmation on the time and place and by the time I got a reply, the artist was no longer available on the date I originally selected and we had to move it.When it came to getting a timeline for the day-of, it was honestly a nightmare. The first draft I got felt like Keziah didn't even review it -- all of my services were duplicated, our start time was at 6am (which seemed extreme), and my makeup service was not scheduled with the person I had my trial with. Getting the timeline resolved took 2 1/2 weeks and caused a lot of stress. I had booked 22 services (11 hair, 11 makeup) almost a year before my wedding date. Keziah only scheduled one hair artist for the day-of which meant one person was going to be expected to do 11 girl's hair including mine. I had a call with Keziah to express my concerns and ask her to add another hair artist to my service and she said that all of her hair artists were booked up which was extremely frustrating because she had known about my needs almost a year in advance. I didn't think it was reasonable in any situation for one person to be expected to perform 11 hair services. My "need to be ready" time had to go from 3pm to 2pm because of photos which she said was the reason for the early start time but later admitted that it would need to start that early regardless because of the single hair artist. She said she would do her best to find another hair person for me but they may not be up to par with her regular artists.Ultimately, she did find another hair artist who did an exceptional job. After more back and forth on the timeline, we settled on one that aligned with what I wanted (one week before wedding).The reason for 3 stars: Keziah's artists were wonderful. Roxy is a ROCKSTAR!!!!! She did my hair and makeup trial AND wedding day look and I absolutely loved them. She is the kindest soul, kept me calm, and was super efficient. Suzanne and Drea (MUAs) were also so sweet and did a great job! I was told that the services would take about 40 minutes each but Suzanne and Drea took closer to an hour each which did strain the timeline but ultimately we only finished about 15 minutes late so a huge THANKS to them for pushing through. The add-on hair artist, Alexis, does not work for Keziah but I am so lucky she found her because she quite literally saved the day by being there and her hair looks were stunning.I wish that Keziah had been more communicative with me if her professional situation changed. She apologized for her late response early on but then continued to do so and never acknowledged it again. I completely understand if something changes and she needs more flexibility and patience, but instead it felt like she did a 180 on me and left me in the dust while she set up her business somewhere else. I can acknowledge that, ultimately, my services were completed as expected and she resolved the issues I had, so I am grateful for that. It was just a rough process getting there.
L’ATELIER BEAUTY's reply
Simone,
Thank you so much for your honest review, and you’re completely right things took a turn for me in my personal life and I could no longer give what I normally do for our brides who book with us in Texas, although I sincerely hoped to do so.
I got engaged and relocated across the country to my home city of Chicago and we began our wedding plans. This was something I did not announce publicly just yet as I normally try to keep my private life private unless it starts to interfere with how it may make others feel. For that I apologize, lots of internal fires to put out while hoping for a smooth transition.
I’m so happy to hear that on your wedding day everything went smoothly though! You looked beautiful and the artists that worked your wedding had wonderful things to say about you and your party! Wishing you and your hubby the absolute best!
Warmly,
Keziah

All the make up artists are highly professional, and really understood the looks my bridesmaids and I wanted- as we all had different styles. I think for the price It was very reasonable because the artistry and skills are worth every penny. I have never felt so beautiful
