Loni is absolutely wonderful - in short, the BEST makeup artist and hair artist you could hope for! So professional and lovely, she goes far and beyond to make sure you feel and look amazing! I am so glad I found Loni on the internet for my event and she did the most amazing job! Love you Loni! Courtney :)

Loni was just fantastic! She was able to do my trial run the night of the rehearsal dinner so I looked great both nights. I originally was going to have my makeup done at my salon but was very unhappy with the trial there. I looked way over made. Loni to the rescue! She made me look beautiful and like myself. The compliments keep coming even weeks after the event. Loni's flexibility and good nature made it all so easy, too. I cannot recommend her enough! She will give you that "extra" you are looking for on your wedding day. She also came to the house one day and the hotel another day. It was a life saver. It also afforded her the opportunity to give the groom a nice touch up. It took some coaxing but she brightened up his complexion and put that hair in place! He looks radiant in all the photos and no one noticed at all. So, if you get the chance, have Loni give the groom a little polishing, too. :)

Loni was amazing. She came from Chicago to Lake Geneva and set up in my hotel suite so I didn't have to go anywhere. Both my MOH and I had her do our hair and makeup and she did an exceptional job. I never would have imagined that I could have looked so great. She was really great about making sure she knew what we were looking for and we exchanged a few emails but I opted out of doing a trial because of my time restraints. No problem though, you'd swear we practiced 3 times we looked so great. And really not DONE UP, just right. I didn't want to look to fake, I just wanted to have a natural flawless look and that's what I got. Thank you so much Loni for being a very important part of my day.

Loni was the key makeup and hair artist for the feature film I directed, "And They Call It Puppy Love." Loni is not only an incredible artist, she is also one of the friendliest and most professional makeup artists I've worked with. She skillfully airbrushed away tattoos, blemishes, wrinkles, and uneven skin with the speed and precision that is needed for High Definition video, and she always did it with a smile on her face. Loni clearly loves her work, and her attention to detail and appreciation of her craft elevate her to the top tier of makeup and hair artists. On the film set, she worked with me to achieve the results we needed, experimenting with different makeups and techniques to make our actors look their best under a variety of lighting scenarios. And she's a blast to work with! Loni's high energy, sincerity, and sense of humor are unforgettable. Loni is one of a kind!

Loni traveled to my hometown to do my hair and makeup and all my bridesmaids hair and makeup for my wedding day. I had no idea how it would all work out since she is 1 person and there were 7 of us. She made it work and not once did I worry. She will reassure you and trust me, that's all you need. She will follow through with 100% accuracy, dependability, and most important creativity. My entire wedding party was very pleased with their overall look. She worked with all different lengths and types of hair and made everyone look their best. I did not have a specific hair style in mind for my wedding party. (like I needed one more thing to coordinate) :) She asked each girl as they sat down how they typically wear their hair, what they are most comfortable with, etc. They LOVED that she didn't only have her own agenda. She's extremely flexible, beyond creative, and truly cares what YOU think. There is nothing worse than being in a wedding party and being TOLD how you are going to wear your hair and having it turn out terrible. Every time I look at our wedding pictures I smile at how beautiful everyone is. And a large part of that beautifulness is because of Loni.

Loni was amazing on my wedding day. She traveled to the location of my church which made the day so relaxing for me! She styled the hair of my entire wedding party and everyone loved their hair. She styled my hair and did my make-up. My hair is cut as in inverted bob and falls just below my chin. Loni was able to style my hair in a beautiful updo and it looked like I had much longer hair. I would highly recommend Loni for your big day!

Loni was my beautician for seven years. I never knew what I wanted to do with my hair prior to my appointment but I knew whatever she recommended would look fabulous. I would often receive compliments on my hair.Loni also provided all of the hairstyling for my wedding. She did an amazing job. Since she has relocated, I have not found another beautician with her level of professionalism or quality of service. She has an amazing talent.

Loni has done my hair for several years both for casual and formal events. Loni is absolutley an artist, her hair designs are beautiful. I have always felt like she always took my input on how i wanted to feel that day and made it happen, yet made it her own! Loni has done many events I have been involved in and my hair was always perfect. Loni makes you feel comfortable as she eases you into your big day. If you are going to take the time to plan a perfect event that includes a trendy photograher, that new up-scale cake place, then you also need Loni to make your day complete!

If you are looking for a professional beauty expert who listens to what you have in mind and is able to make it a reality, then Loni is the person you want. She is super qualified, very kind and a great artist. She did a wonderful job at styling me for Mrs. America 2011 and was there for me every step of the way. She truly made me glow! At the pageant. I looked forward to sitting at her chair because I felt pampered the whole time! I recommend her without a doubt!
