About Joyful Brides

Joyful Brides

Owner/ Lead Stylist

With over 20 years in the beauty industry I am blessed to still love what I do! I am versatile in executing pretty much any hairstyle that is shown to me. I have great attention to detail, patience, and a very calming demeanor that brides love to have on their big day. My fabulous team of artists are all experienced and established in the bridal industry. We are LGBTQ Friendly and keep up with the latest trends! Upon booking you will be provided a custom timeline for the day of your wedding so you don’t have to stress about a thing! We hope you can become one of our next “Joyful Brides”!

What makes us different is we strive to make every single bride look like themselves, but elevated. Many of my makeup artists have perfected the “no makeup makeup look” for all those natural brides out there. With over hundreds of weddings under our belt, we have the professional experience you can rely on. We are efficient in our timing, yet we can execute many different hair styles, textures, soft glam and full glam looks.

This package includes any hairstyle of your choice plus full glam makeup with lashes included. Extra fees apply for hair extensions or airbrush makeup. Any others added on would be an additional cost. This package does not include a trial, or travel fees.

Yes the Trial is a separate fee because it is a separate service! Trials often take more time because we ask a lot of questions to really find out what you like and dislike. Then we can make any final changes to ensure that we execute your look perfectly on your wedding day!

a MUST book!
Joyful Brides is the best! You literally are making a mistake on your wedding day not booking them. Ashley and Lucy are the absolute sweetest, the work they do is absolutely phenomenal. My hair & makeup test was the day of a friend’s wedding— my hair and makeup stayed through the July Chicago heat and theirs did not last. I even had Kim come to the venue during the reception and she cut and styled my hair- it was done to perfection! I recommend Joyful Brides to any bride looking for amazing hair and makeup for their big day!

They were absolutely amazing and we are so grateful for the experience with them. I’m absolutely obsessed with how my hair and makeup turned out, I really felt like a princess! And they are so sweet and communicative!

Amazing, kind and affordable
Kimberly was great to work with from the get go with flexible trials and even offered complimentary other trials when I hadn’t found the style I absolutely loved for my shoulder length hair. She worked well with all of my bridesmaids’ (white, mixed, and Filipino) hair textures and they held all day/night. She even did my mom’s hair last minute. She’s affordable, reliable, does beautiful hair that she makes sure you.

March 2026 wedding
We had a wonderful experience with Kim. She did an amazing job and truly exceeded our expectations. From the start, she was attentive to our needs and really took the time to listen to what we wanted. Her professionalism stood out throughout the entire process, and she made us feel comfortable and confident in her work. The results were beautiful, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and the quality of her work. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and professional hair stylist!

Best decision Ever!
Kim's expertise in wedding hair was fantastic. She did an amazing job with my hair! We did several different trials and I was being incredibly indecisive. Kim was so patient with me and was able to perfectly capture my vision. She met all my beauty needs and my bridesmaids as well. I felt like to city chic goddess when the whole look was complete. If you are looking hair that lasts all day, book with Kim!
