    Absolutely amazing!!

    I absolutely loved working with Christi, Tara, and Katie, they made me look and feel amazing on my wedding day. They are so easy to work with, and helped make the morning run so smoothly. We all loved our hair and makeup, both lasted all day and through the end of the night, and we felt so glammed up! Highly highly recommend House of Koukla to everyone for special events, but also for other services like lash lift/tint, brow lamination, etc. They do it all!!!

    HOK is amazing!

    HOK is amazing!! Christi and team are great and so easy and fun to work with. I LOVED how I looked on my wedding day and Christi made sure I not only looked good but felt good too. The wedding morning went perfectly and Christi and team were on time and kept on schedule - plus, everyone looked amazing! I would highly recommend HOK for any upcoming special event.

    Best Hair and Make Up Team in IL!!

    I cannot stop raving about how awesome Christi and her team at House of Koukla are. From planning the timeline to the hair/makeup trial to the wedding day, Christi was very communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. Christi, Katie, Monica and Tara’s work was absolutely stunning on everyone they did on my wedding day!! I wanted some updates from my trial and Christi and Katie handled it, no problem! I had a large group of women [11 bridesmaids, me, my mom and my mother in law] who needed their hair and makeup done. House of Koukla did a fantastic job doing all of our hair/makeup in a timely fashion. Throughout the long day everyone’s hair and makeup stayed intact! My sister even kept her updo in the next day because it still looked so good! My mother in law told me how much of a delight it was to get her hair and makeup done by such genuinely nice and easy to have conversation with ladies! If you’re thinking about booking House of Koukla I hope this review has you sold!

    I can’t get over how awesome my experience was!

    I can’t thank Christi and her team enough for making my bridal party, all mothers, and myself look so beautiful on my wedding day! I was so so happy that HOK was available when I reached out to schedule. Christi and Tara were prompt, so welcoming to all, time efficient with each girl, and so friendly!!!! These girls have a magic touch with make up! I would recommend HOK to anyone!! Hands down best experience I’ve had. My bridal party kept saying days after my wedding how much they loved the airbrush, how their make up turned out and how much Tara and Christi were amazing! Thanks HOK!

    House of Koukla's reply:

    Gina, it was such a blessing to be a part of your wedding!!! You looked SO beautiful and it was so amazing to also be able to be there and celebrate with you and Scott! Thank you so much, Gorgeous!!!

    Great Hair and Makeup Team

    I got married in October 2022 and booked with House of Koukla for bridal hair and makeup and bridesmaids hair/makeup plus a lash lift. Katie did hair and Monica did makeup for both the trial and day-of. I did my hair trial and makeup trial on different days just due to scheduling conflicts and appreciated that both Katie and Monica were super open and receptive to feedback on the day-of and made me feel absolutely beautiful! I never wear false lashes but wanted to try them for the trial but found them too heavy so for day-of, Monica brought smaller lash fill-in pieces which were perfect on top of the lash lift (highly recommend the lash lift if you have straight lashes like I do! They stay curled, dark, and beautiful for almost two months!!).

    On the day-of, everyone’s hair turned out amazing and the makeup looked beautiful! I would definitely suggest as the bride to build in some extra time just in case as we ran slightly behind (also because I had a last minute request to get hair done by a family member which Katie was able to accommodate).

    At the end of the night I can confirm that my makeup did not smudge one bit despite several happy tears and my hair stayed in place and looked amazing after dancing for hours!

    Katie and Monica are both great to work with and Christi (salon owner) did my lash lift and is super sweet.

    House of Koukla's reply:

    Absolutely beautiful, Julie!!! You looked soooo amazing! The team had the best time with you :) Congrats!!!

    GREAT experience!

    I had the BEST experience working with Christi and the House of Koukla team for my wedding!! They perfectly executed my vision for hair and makeup, even though my hair look was unique, and they did such a beautiful job with the moms and bridesmaids, too. Christi also made my first spray tan experience seamless. I can't recommend House of Koukla enough!

    We had sooo much fun working with you, Erin!! You looked so gorgeous!!! Thank you for choosing our team!!!

    The best of the best!

    Christi was amazing. By the end of our time together she honestly felt like a friend!

    From my trial to the actual big day -- my makeup was flawless. My girls also adored their looks on my big day! So stunning!

    I for sure will be going back to Christi for all my glam needs.

    The Best of the Best!

    Christi and her House of Klouka team was kind, personable, and professional from the first time meeting over a year before my wedding to my wedding day! During my bridal makeup trial, Christi and I instantly connected. She was so careful to listen to my vision of my wedding, took notes of what I envisioned for myself on my wedding day, and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. We were laughing like friends very quickly into the trial! Christi is exceptional at natural looking makeup. She never puts on makeup that is outside of anyone's comfort zones. She made sure my bridesmaids and mom felt absolutely beautiful and like an elevated version of themselves! Christi used my mom's personal makeup due to her sensitive skin without any problems. The HOK took their time on each girl, were prompt on arrival, and were ahead of schedule the whole morning! They were such the perfect addition to my wedding and ensured we each looked so beautiful on my most important day. I can't thank Christi and their team enough! Best of the BEST!

    House of Koukla's reply:

    Thank you so much, Ashley! It was beyond a pleasure to work with you, Beautiful!!! You were such a stunning bride and so sweet to our team!

    Best Hair and Makeup Team

    Christi and her team did a fantastic job ensuring that myself, my bridal party, my mother, my mother-in-law, grandmother, and my grandmother-in-law looked beautiful on my wedding day. I would highly recommend Christi and her team for hair and makeup. Christi answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. I was completely relaxed on my wedding day because of Christi and her team.

    Blown away!

    To start WOW! What an amazing company and wonderful team to have be apart of my special day. (back story) I went to another company that made me feel unsure, have zero confidence and very unprofessional. I told them I wasn't happy with the outcome and they didn't seem to really care and told me to pick another day for a retrial (no remorse and whatever about it). They made it seem like it was me! A friend recommend House of Koukla to me AND THANK GOD SHE DID! I FINALLY FELT LIKE A BRIDE! Christi and her team asked me so many questions, responded quickly and gave me what I should of felt the entire time LIKE A BRIDE

    Thank you so much for this kind review, Natalie! We had the most wonderful time working with you! You and your party were so beautiful and fun! Thank you for choosing our team!

    Best hair and make up!

    I cannot say enough great things about Christi and her team (Katie, Ali, and Tiffany) at House of Koukla!! All of these ladies were AMAZING! My wedding hair and make up were both perfect. Not only did I feel beautiful, but I have also received so many compliments as well. My eight bridesmaids, mother, mother in law, and flower girls looked just as beautiful, and everyone was so happy with their hair and make up.
    Working with Christi was so fun and so easy! I would highly recommend using House of Koukla for your wedding hair and make up, you will not be disappointed!!

    Thank you sooooo much for your kind words, Kelsey!! You looked GORGEOUS!! Our team has such a fabulous time with your group and it was an honor to be a part of your day!!!

    Went above and beyond

    Christi and her crew of ladies did an AMAZING job. Christi made it very easy to get ahold of her for any questions and adjustments. They made the day of go very smoothly and everyone I worked with us very kind and very talented. I got so many complements on my makeup and felt gorgeous on my wedding day as every bride should! Plus, I was obsessed with how all my bridesmaid's makeup turned out as well. 10 out 10 would recommend them and would use them for any of my professional makeup needs!

    Thank you so much Casie! We love working with such sweet and beautiful brides like you!!! It was an honor!!!

    These ladies did an amazing job! They did hair and make up for both myself and my bridal party. They used the best products, had great suggestions, and knew what they were doing.

    I chose House of Koukla for my wedding hair/makeup services and couldn’t be happier with my decision. Christi was extremely organized, responsive, and easy-going throughout the whole process. I had her and Katie for both my trial and wedding day, and my friends and mom loved conversing with them! They created such a *fun* and relaxing environment when getting ready. I’m hoping to find an excuse to book them again!

    You won't regret hiring Christi and her team!

    Christi and her entire team at HOK are fantastic from the first time you reach out to them. Christi is quick to respond to emails, flexible with scheduling and overall a pleasure to work with! The team made me and my bridesmaids feel absolutely GORGEOUS on my 9/11/2021 wedding day. They will work with you to make sure that your hair and makeup is exactly as you envision. Trust me when I say you won't regret using HOK as your wedding hair and makeup wedding stylists!

    Hire them!

    I’m obsessed with the wonderful, talented team at House of Koukla. Christi is literally the sweetest person and believe me when I tell you she had her work cut out of for her. I was hungover af on the day of my wedding and had multiple breakouts. She made me look like a flawless angel. Christi, Ashley, Briana, Katie did wonders on all of my bridesmaids hair and faces. All 10 of my girls felt and look gorgeous. This is the best makeup and hair team you could hire. Hands down!

    House of Koukla's reply:

    Thank you soooo much, Hannah!!! You looked so gorgeous and we had a great time working with you!!!! Thank you for choosing our team!!!!
