Morgan Blaul

Morgan is awesome!!! I can’t say enough how happy I was with her the day of my wedding. She did everything I asked, provided a thorough consultation and made me look fabulous:). All my bridesmaids were very pleased with Morgan and her assistant. Even my mother couldn’t believe how beautiful she looked. Best part… For 14 hours I never had to re-​apply makeup (unlike I usually do hourly). I’d recommend Morgan to anyone who wants to look amazing on their wedding day, without any worry:).

Morgan is a true artist — and an incredible person to have on any set. She’s also extraordinary as a personal makeup artist. I have been in Morgan’s chair upwards of 100 times for both work and personal needs and she always make me feel beautiful and ready to take on the world.

Like another review, Morgan also cancelled on me two weeks before my wedding. She didn’t give an explanation, just said she would be out of town. What’s the point of paying a deposit if she just can cancel at any time? She offered her assistant as a replacement but why would I give her or any of her friends my business now?! I was planning my wedding from California so it wasn’t easy to find a replacement at such short notice but luckily I did. She turned out to be better than Morgan. Her name is Sana.

Highly recommended artist, Morgan did an outstanding job at a wedding I recently photographed and I have been recommending her to my clients ever since. Many artists can do work for a magazine and touch up the models every two minutes, but Morgan knows how to create a look for brides that will last through the entire day, even on a humid Chicago summer day. of course, her model work is top notch as well :) hope to work with her again!

Morgan and one of her assistants (Nora) beautified me, my bridesmaids and my mom on my wedding day. Morgan totally captured what I was looking for — something glamorous, but not overworked. Both hair and makeup were on point! She nailed what I was going for at my hair trial appointment and recreated it perfectly on my wedding day. She was also very helpful in guiding me towards what type of hair accessory would work with the style I wanted.
Morgan and Nora also did phenomenal work on my bridesmaids (ranging in age from 21 to 32) and my mom.
I would highly recommend Morgan and team to anyone looking for a wedding day style that is more Vogue magazine cover than typical curled bridal hair. Her commercial experience /​style definitely shows through her style and you end up looking more like a model than a bride. Also a plus, I received countless compliments on how beautiful my hair and makeup was.
My makeup definitely lasted all day and night, but my hair did start to loosen up /​fall down a bit, but only after several hours of dancing (to be expected)!
In terms of pricing, her services were on-​par with most other «city» hair and makeup artists.
Morgan was also reliable (showed up on time, stuck to schedule, etc.). In some instances, it took her a few days to respond to emails from me, but I understand she has other clients and jobs (and it was never over something that had to be addressed ASAP).

I hired Morgan and her team for my May 2011 wedding and I must say she went above and beyond all expectations. I am extremely particular about how my hair and makeup is styled so a couple of times before our wedding I had sent Morgan pictures of what I was looking for. When it came time for me to sit in the chair on our wedding day, no questions were asked, and she created what to me was the exact replica of what I had asked. She nailed it! The look was absolutely perfect. She is super friendly, makes you feel comfortable and is willing to work with you if you are not 100% with your hair or makeup style. Not only did she create an amazing look for myself, her and her assistant (Heather) did hair AND makeup for my bridal party (9 of us total) and all of them were beyond thrilled. With that being said — 9 girls, hair and makeup — Morgan had all of us styled and ready to go by the designated time we needed to get dressed at. It was incredible seeing how well her and Heather worked together as a team. If you are looking for a reliable, incredibly talented makeup artist and hair stylist that will have you stress-​free on your wedding day definitely hire Morgan.

Morgan is great to work with — really appreciate her attention to detail for hair and makeup. If it doesn’t look right, she’ll do it over again (with hair) until it’s what you want. Morgan did my hair and makeup for my June 2011 wedding but even before that she dolled me up for a best friend’s wedding — back then I knew I wanted her to do it all again for the big day. She also did my hair/​makeup for the bachelorette party. Each time she can tweak the look to make it fit the day. She’s very creative and it’s obvious she has a lot of experience. Go Morgan!

I chose to use Morgan for my June 2011 wedding based off of quite a few amazing reviews of her hair and makeup services on Unilocal.I can honestly say that she absolutely lived up to and exceeded my expectations!
I’m a super pale person who really wanted a natural, yet beautiful look. I went in for my first trial with Morgan and found her to be incredibly professional, and friendly. A few days after my first trial run, I had decided that I wanted to change a few things about my look, after which she graciously allowed me to come in for a second trial run. I looked great after the first trial run, but ended up deciding to change my hairstyle and the colors of some of the eye makeup. She was able to follow the look I wanted while adding subtle elements that made me look incredible.
On the day of the wedding, it was 95 degrees and humid (it ended up raining). Morgan showed up on time prepared for the weather. I had planned to leave my hair down and curly, but we both knew that this style would leave me sweaty and uncomfortable. She guided me and gave me a hairstyle that we had never before tried, but that looked more incredible than anything else I could have imagined. She was able to arrive at the scene and put together all the details of what my wedding would look like, and what the weather would be like to give me a stunning look that lasted throughout the night. I looked even better than I thought possible on the day of my wedding, and I have her to thank!
Before booking Morgan, I had strongly considered using an artist that did airbrush makeup. Now I see that a great hair and makeup artist like Morgan can use non-​airbrush products that stay throughout a humid, rainy day and feel completely natural.
Morgan is worth every penny! She truly has a great talent and an amazing amount of experience behind her.

«Woohoo! As good as it gets!»? (according to the star rating description) I would say even better :). Morgan is so easy going and helpful. She was definitely a positive on the day of my wedding. I liked her as soon as I met her the day of my hair and makeup trial. I was a bit undecided on how I wanted my hair, but she was so good and recommending what would fit my face and style of dress. My makeup looked very natural and my hair looked so pretty. My pictures look fabulous due partly to her good work. I will recommend her every opporutnity I get!!!

I could not recommend Morgan enough. She did my hair and makeup for my November 2009 wedding and I couldn’t have asked for a stylist more chill yet fun and not to mention über-​professional and dedicated to her craft. In particular, Morgan gets the balance between what is too much and what makes you glow. She is absolutely perfect for brides who want a glamorous and sexy yet natural look.
Morgan is also super supportive and patient: She stuck with me as I lacked the vocabulary to explain the lip color i was going for and I probably drove her crazy unconvinced that my finished look would last through pictures and the ceremony… But trust her on this… I didn’t re-​apply ANYTHING and really didn’t have to — everything was perfect. Day of, she kept me calm and was super accommodating for our schedule.
Hopefully I won’t get married again :) but I would definitely call on Morgan for any other occasion where I want to glow. Thanks, Morgan!

I booked Morgan for my June 2009 wedding. I absolutely loved my hair and makeup. After Morgan was done with me I felt so beautiful and not at all «done-​up.» Both my hair and makeup lasted all night (even after some serious dancing outdoors in the heat and humidity) and they looked great in photos. Morgan also did my mom’s hair and makeup and I’m so glad she did because my mom is usually very self-​conscious, but she ended up feeling and looking great. Morgan is just fantastic! I highly recommend her.

Morgan did my hair for my August 2009 wedding. She did a fantastic job! It is one of the things I have received the most compliments on.
I was indecisive on how I wanted to wear my hair (up or down) and worried because a lot of curly updos can look like very bad prom hair. Well, my hair looked phenomenal after Morgan was done. It looked modern and elegant. It was exactly the type of look I wanted (though couldn’t really describe) and it stayed in place all day — even though it was the most humid day all freakin summer.

I love Morgan! She did my hair and makeup and hair for my three bridesmaids last month and she rocked it. I highly recommend her if you are looking for something less «bridaly» and more modern.
Feel free to convo me if you want more info or pics!
UPDATE: I added some pics to my profile, she is good, book her NOW!

I booked Morgan Blaul for my August 2008 wedding. What an amazing artist! Morgan is a professional hair & makeup artist, represented at the top agency here in Chicago. She works with a lot of models and thankfully, brides! I’ll admit that I was skeptical about justifying the expense at first — I’ve had my hair and makeup done before, and had never been ‘wowed.’ I booked her the moment I looked in the mirror at my trial. She completely nailed the look I was going for, and made some great style recommendations for complementary jewelry. Day of, she traveled to my location, which was incredibly convenient. As an fyi, she does not do airbrush. My makeup lasted flawlessly all day, though, from noon until 4 am! And she’s just as good with hair. I really felt like I looked my best on my wedding day. She also did my mom’s makeup and Maid of Honor’s hair. They were just as happy as I was with their results. In addition to being incredibly talented, she’s also really sweet, totally professional, and made me much more relaxed and comfortable on the big day. I highly recommend her for both hair and makeup!
