Goddess Effect Artistry

Tracy and Deena are absolutely amazing and make an amazing team. I had a trial with both Tracy and Deena for hair and makeup and never questioned whether I'd use them or not. I showed Tracy pictures of what I wanted and then decided on a final. Tracy could see I wasn't 100% comfortable having my hair a certain way so she suggested leaving my hair down (which I did not want) BUT she couldn't have been more right! I added extensions (highly recommend and her suggestion) to make my hair fuller. I continued to send her ideas because I kept questioning myself but she knew just what to do! I left my hair down for the ceremony but partially pulled back, and before my reception she whipped up a new hair style so that I could keep it out of my face. I had so many compliments on the style change and the style of both themselves. She truly knows her stuff and I felt comfortable allowing her to make suggestions. Deena is also amazing! I don't wear a ton of makeup and like more natural looks and she nailed it! All of my bridesmaids did something like mine and were extremely happy with the results. The airbrushing was phenomenal and the look was exactly what I asked for. I also struggled with a lip color since I rarely wear lipstick, the day of I told her I still didn't know and she pulled a color out and BOOM loved it! This duo is very easy to work with and will NOT be offended if you don't like something that was done, they immediately work with you to find either a hairstyle or makeup pallet that makes you feel beyond amazing. Love both of the girls and will keep them in mind for other events that I may have in the future. The package they offer is a great deal as well, especially for what you get. More...

Goddess Effect Artistry is the best of the best. They came on time to my house and were ready to do both hair and makeup in 2 hours for 8 girls. Each one of us had a different requests and they were able to accommodate all of them, which shows how much talent they have. We all felt so beautiful and it showed up so nicely in the photos. I highly recommend Tracy for your wedding. You will not be disappointed. More...

Crystal did me and my daughter's make up for my sister's wedding! She did an amazing job! We didn't even have a trial make up session which is pretty impressive that she knew what she was going to do. She was very meticulous when doing all the bridesmaids and even altered her make up process per bridesmaid because of their unique skin tone and did not treat us like an assembly line. Our make up was flawless and perfect and our pictures look fantastic! Highly recommend! More...

i was completely overwhelmed with yelp reviews for hair/makeup options for my wedding. i asked my photographer for a recommendation, and she suggested tracy and goddess effect artistry. i reached out to tracy, and she responded quickly and had very reasonable prices, so i decided to book her. we had a mid-morning ceremony with immediate family only, and tracy and her assistant, deena, showed up on time and ready to work. tracy did the hair for my sister, mom, and me, and deena did makeup for me, my sister, my mom, and my now mother-in-law. everybody's hair and makeup came out amazing. i showed tracy a picture on pinterest to give her an idea of what i wanted, and she captured my vision flawlessly! my hair held all day and i felt absolutely beautiful. i told deena i wanted soft makeup, and was amazed how she, too, captured my vision! i did not have a trial session for either my hair or makeup and just decided to trust the process, and couldn't have been more happy. my family members were also thrilled, and we all felt beautiful. thanks to tracy and deena for being so professional and making us all look and feel great!

I 100% recommend Goddess Effect Artistry for all hair and makeup needs! Tracy was amazing!!! From planning the trial session to coming right to my hotel the day off the wedding she made everything so convenient. And on top of the convenience and the totally reasonable pricing, she is so talented. I had never done airbrush makeup before and was a little nervous but Tracy made my skin look flawless. She really listened to what I wanted as well as the rest of my bridal party. My entire experience from start to finish was perfect! More...

I used Tracy for my wedding on 9/17/16 and I highly recommend her. Tracy brought an assistant to do makeup while she did hair for myself, 5 bridesmaids, my mother, and mother-in-law. Tracy and her assistant were prompt, friendly, and made the morning getting ready so much more fun and stress-free. Tracy does a beautiful job and everybody's hair and makeup looked perfect and lasted all day through pictures in the 80 degree heat, and all night through dancing. I cannot recommend Tracy enough. She made me feel like the most beautiful bride ever and was so fast and efficient that we were done in plenty of time. Tracy did both my hair and makeup and I couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. I even woke up the next day and kept it on and it still looked natural through the following day. On top of all that, my bracelet broke when I put it on and Tracy was able to fix it with eyelash glue and it held up all day. She's a life saver and so talented at what she does! More...

I highly recommend Tracy for hair and makeup. I research for prices and Tracy is by far the best you'll come by. The quality of the her work is amazing! I have only used professional for hair and makeup a handful of times. I was never a fan and preferred doing it myself because others never were able to give me what I want and made me look like a china doll. Cute but not for me. I showed Tracy what I wanted and in an instant, she got it and did exactly what I wanted. If I needed to, I'd hire her again in a heartbeat. And she's faster than anyone I've seen. I have a lot of hair which usually takes a long time to do anything with. She had it finished in no time. Great service for a great price More...

We used their airbrush make-up services for our December 2015 wedding.I would recommend this makeup artist. They arrived early, didn't say much, but know make-up and were responsive what we wanted. The quality of their service is good for their price. More...

I had a hard time finding someone I liked to do the hair and makeup for my wedding.  The first trial I had was OK, but I wasn't super happy with either the hair or makeup.  The second trial was terrible because the makeup artist cancelled last minute twice.  It became clear that it was going to be hard to find a great hair and makeup artist that I liked in my budget.  Tracy blew me away.  She was affordable, professional, kind, and AMAZING at makeup and hair.  I have a ton of hair and she was able to work with it and I am very particular about my makeup (so I was looking for airbrush, which she does) and she made me look the best I ever have.  She brought 2 friends with her on the day of the wedding, and they did a wonderful job on everyone.  She was able to handle seven bridesmaids and myself, the bride.  She even put on eyelash extensions within her reasonable price.  All of our makeup and hairdos looked perfect all day and night!  So happy I hired her!

Contracted services for June 20, 2015.Goddess Effect Artistry is awesome! Tracy and Crystal came to my wedding location and in about 3. 5 hours finished seven hairdos and eight airbrush makeups. They were fun and professional, and everyone looked flawless and amazing. My makeup and hair held up through an entire night of dancing.By the way, as a bride who was trying to be frugal, Tracy was BY FAR the least expensive, professional-quality artist around. I highly recommend her to other brides - this is one choice you won't be worrying about on the big day! More...

I booked Goddess Effect Artistry for my wedding in August, and they did an AMAZING job!  Tracy and her assistant are both incredibly talented, very professional, and efficient.  They had 4 beautiful updos and 4 flawless makeup applications finished in no time!  I couldn't have been happier with how absolutely BEAUTIFUL everyone looked and how long the makeup lasted!  Everyone's hair and makeup still looked perfect at the end of the night (10 hours later!!!)  Tracy will travel to you, and her prices are very reasonable.  They do such a fantastic job!  I cannot recommend Tracy & her team enough!  THANK YOU!!!!!

I had a fantastic experience with Goddess Effect Artistry! Tracy did an amazing job on my hair and on my bridesmaids' hair- but where I really think she did the best job was on my makeup. I've never felt so beautiful in my life and everyone kept telling me how my skin looked absolutely perfect on my wedding day. Tracy is very sweet, reasonably priced (especially compared to others in the city who travel) and very talented. She brought along an assistant on my wedding day who was equally as talented. They both worked very fast and we were all ready for the day in no time! My hair and makeup stayed put throughout photos in 80+ degree weather, 100s of hugs and kisses, and hours of booty shaking on the dance floor. It was seriously beauty magic.I hope to be able to use Goddess Effect Artistry again in the future for another fancy event or maybe just to surprise my husband on a date night! More...

I got married on 03-23-13. Tracy and her team came to my hotel to get myself and my girls ready for my big day.I must say I have been in more weddings than I have fingers, and have never liked my hair or make-up! Tracy did a fabulous job on my hair! I could not have been happier, I felt like a million bucks! She was able to make my hair look like exactly what I had pictured in my head, even though I didn't describe it that well! She is fabulous! I will recommend her to everyone I know! My make up was also fantastic. Initially, I felt the eye shadow was darker than I was used to, and they lightened it up and made it perfect!  I usually have a hard time asking for things to be changed, but they made me feel so comfortable and I know they wanted me to love how I looked! After Tracy and her team left, I noticed my veil was on backwards, and she rushed back to fix it for me, and without any hesitation.Tracy and her team are wonderful, attentative and exactly what every bride is looking for!

Tracy is AMAZING!Tracy did my makeup and hair for my downtown wedding on 6/9/12. She really adjusts to what you want and did a fantastic job. My trial (months before) was a bit rocky in that her assistant was not the best, so I DO recommend ONLY having tracy do your hair and makeup.* Other than that, she can create any style you want and if you don't like it, Tracy will adjust. She truly cares about her clients and making them happy. She is always on time and easy to work with. She stays true to her contract and I always felt comfortable with her. I would recommend Tracy to anyone in the Chicagoland area for hair/makeup! More...

I used Goddess Effect Artistry for my 9/25 wedding and Tracy is great! I was excited about airbrush make-up and it turned out beautiful-flawless and natural, which is exactly what I wanted! I Tracy is also a doll-she put up with my sister at my hair trial and after I changed my mind about my hairstyle (I don't recommend this-it was nuts trying to find the appropriate hair piece and I think I threw Tracy for a complete loop! It was really my fault, not hers!) and Tracy rolled with it like a total pro! She is always in touch and her response times to texts/ emails is prompt. Her prices are fair and on par with hair trial/makeup and day-of on-site services.I highly recommend Goddess Effect Artistry! More...
