"Where do I begin….. talking about the most amazing hair and makeup artist I have ever met !!!!!!!!!"
Where do I begin….. talking about the most amazing hair and makeup artist I have ever met !!!!!!!!! Jillian, words can not even begin to express my gratitude towards you! Your skills, dedication, and perfection has blow us away! Let me start by saying we met Jillian for my trial at her personal salon! She took every picture I created and every vision I possibly had and made me up to look like a princess that day! Fast forward to the wedding day, I decided to switch something up , last minute …. Without hesitation, she’s like “no problem!” At first I was hesitant about hiring someone… and I will forever thank the beauty gods that they pointed us to Jillian! I truly felt like the most beautiful girl in the entire world ! Even we had a hiccup with the groom that (had nothing to do with hair and makeup) and Jillian was by my side consoling me and helping navigate the day. I can not say enough great things about Jillian and her services that day! I am forever thankful we have crossed paths and highly recommend her services to any future brides!

"5 stars don't give her enough credit - she deserves 10+"
I am not sure where to begin when writing a review for Jillian Nieman. Let me begin there is a reason she was voted "Best Make Up and Hair Artist Finalist" For Wisconsin Bride Magazine. Prior to the wedding, Jillian worked with each participant to help create their inspiration look they wanted to achieve. She "nailed" their wishes!!! On the wedding day Jillian and her assistant went above and beyond their abilities to create and highlight the beauty of the entire bridal party. She stayed with us for touchups throughout the entire day including riding with us on Steam Yacht Louise. Even though we had a very hectic schedule, she stayed calm for us!! 5 starts don't give her enough credit - she deserves 10+. Way to go Jillian!!

"I'm that person who has to look at every last page of options before selecting something... so believe me, I spent hours researching hair/makeup artists around Lake Geneva. I came away totally convinced that Jillian is THE best in the business, and feel this even more strongly after seeing her work her magic at our wedding!"
I'm that person who has to look at every last page of options before selecting something... so believe me, I spent hours researching hair/makeup artists around Lake Geneva. I came away totally convinced that Jillian is THE best in the business, and feel this even more strongly after seeing her work her magic at our wedding! I still can't believe my bridesmaids and I were so lucky to have her glam us up. She exudes confidence, experience, and a tasteful eye for tailoring hair and makeup to each person individually-- no cookie cutters here. She even asked to see my bouquet colors so she could recommend a lipstick color that worked for my face AND coordinated with my flowers. Jillian pulled off everything from the "warrior princess" look one of my bridesmaids wanted, to tasteful minimalism for my girls who hardly ever wear makeup. Each girl felt glamorous and confident with Jillian's work. I really loved that she offered an option to stay longer for touch-ups after the ceremony-- it felt so special to have our looks touched up before photos! Jillian is truly a master artist, I never want anyone else for glam again:)

"Based on her reviews I knew I had to see what the hype was about and let me tell you, JILLIAN IS WORTH THE HYPE! Jillian has a true eye for hair and make up. I have never never felt more beautiful than I did the day of my wedding. She is meticulous and so passionate about she what does."
When I first started looking for a hair and make up artists for my wedding I googled “best hair and make up in Lake Geneva” and the first name to pop up was Jillian. Based on her reviews I knew I had to see what the hype was about and let me tell you, JILLIAN IS WORTH THE HYPE! Jillian has a true eye for hair and make up. I have never never felt more beautiful than I did the day of my wedding. She is meticulous and so passionate about she what does. She provided touch up for me as well as my entire bridal party throughout the day. At one point my husband actually said “I have never seen someone so attentive and great at their job.” She has a warmth to her that is unmatched. I truly felt like we were long lost friends. I wish I was local to Lake Geneva so I could have her do my glam for any special event. Your hair and make up will last all day…through tears and sweat. If you are looking for the “the best in Lake Geneva” then Jillian is your girl!

"One girl had tried to recreate make up from a photo 3 times and Jillian was the first make up artist to get it exactly like the photo."
This make up artist knocked it out of the park on my wedding day. Everyone looked gorgeous. One girl had tried to recreate make up from a photo 3 times and Jillian was the first make up artist to get it exactly like the photo. She was also so incredibly organized and professional. She had 10 people ready ahead of schedule and looking like they were glowing!

"Jillian gives me so much confidence. Beyond her work, Jillian is just the sweetest person! She cares so much, and you can feel it every moment you're around her. She is an absolute light"
We have had the most wonderful opportunity to get to know Jillian over the past 2 years through engagement pictures, other photoshoots, and in our wedding planning. Jillian is a true professional, and she has developed a team that is unmatched. I can't tell you how many times I have told my husband "I just want this make up to stay on forever" after they have worked their magic. It always feels like the most elevated version of myself, and Jillian gives me so much confidence. Beyond her work, Jillian is just the sweetest person! She cares so much, and you can feel it every moment you're around her. She is an absolute light, and I am thankful to have found friendship with her in the past few years of working together. I feel so strongly about her work that I have recommended her to friends and family many times, and will continue to do so! Thank you for everything, Jillian!

"The ability to have a professional hair and makeup artist that has been on photoshoots across the world, stay longer with you to assist in your photos is invaluable. Book Jillian and you will feel like a celebrity on your wedding day!"

"Jillian and her team are the absolute BEST! Everyone's hair and makeup looked phenomenal and it lasted through the whole night!"
Jillian and her team are the absolute BEST! Everyone's hair and makeup looked phenomenal and it lasted through the whole night! The amazing thing about Jillian's service is that she stays for touch ups throughout photos, etc! I was so glad for thing because we got married on a warm summer day, and she was always around to make me look fresh! She also was able to help me with a look change (went from hair down to updo for the evening). I can't say enough about how amazing Jillian and her team is -- I highly recommend them!

"I can't sing their praises enough, you truly made me and my girls feel so special and beautiful and eased a lot of my anxiety."
For an extremely HOT August wedding day (I'm talking upper 90s) Jillian and her assistant Sami, went above and beyond. They both took their time making myself and all of my girls look amazing and payed such close attention to every detail. They helped keep me calm, provided suggestions, and even helped look after our stuff during the ceremony. Despite the heat and Jillian being 8 months pregnant (you are a superwoman!), they even stayed on after to make sure I looked on point for photos after the ceremony and for the reception. I can't sing their praises enough, you truly made me and my girls feel so special and beautiful and eased a lot of my anxiety. Thank you again so so much!

"She was beyond perfect! I am very picky about my hair and makeup and she did not disappoint."
It does not get better than Jillian! She was beyond perfect! I am very picky about my hair and makeup and she did not disappoint. From the initial contact to the day of, she made sure I loved each part and gave me tips throughout the day to make sure each moment was picture perfect. Jillian also stays with you and does constant touch ups which was very important for me with a July wedding! Jillian also owns an absolutely incredible venue in Delavan that we were able to get ready in throughout the day, stocked full of mimosas and coffee. I could sing her praises all day long!

"I still can't believe the hair and makeup she did for me was real, it was THAT amazing! Don't think about it, just hire Jillian!!!!!"
Jillian was my fairy godmother! If I could give her and her assistant (Sami) 10 stars, I would! Working with Jillian was a dream. She is the most talented hair and makeup artist I have ever met, she made me feel like a celebrity on my wedding day. She followed me everywhere!! She touched me and my bridesmaids up constantly throughout the day, heck she even powdered by husband's nose at one point and pinned my dad's tux when his sleeves were too long! I felt like a Queen. I still can't believe the hair and makeup she did for me was real, it was THAT amazing! Don't think about it, just hire Jillian!!!!!

"YOU NEED TO HIRE JILLIAN!!! She did an absolute flawless job on my makeup, my bridesmaids and our moms! Everyone was also OBSESSED with the hair"
YOU NEED TO HIRE JILLIAN!!! She did an absolute flawless job on my makeup, my bridesmaids and our moms! Everyone was also OBSESSED with their hair, which she did as well, and I couldn’t have asked for a more seamless process from start to finish with her! She followed me around up until my reception so after my ceremony when I was a crying mess, she still had me looking flawless! She even rode around with our photographer and videographer in our golf cart when we were trying to get the perfect shots by the lake. Basically, she goes above and beyond and I’m so happy I found her and chose her!

"Looking back, I am definitely happy I hired her and kept her extra time until grand march. I would highly recommend Jillian both for great HMU during wedding day but also the extra perk of her being there for at least 8 hours. My girls loved it as well."
I had the privilege to hire Jillian and her team for HMU at my wedding. I did a trial with her and she spent 4-5 hours making sure my hair and makeup was exactly how I wanted it. I wanted extensions for my wedding day and she had no problem working with them. She was very prompt on any communication, mostly email. She had sent me a schedule soon before the wedding so I was able to send to bridesmaids. She arrived on time and got right to work. She did amazing work with all the girls. Her assistant did great as well. My favorite part about Jillian is that she stays with me for 8 hours total and I ended up hiring her for 2 hours more. So, while getting photos after the wedding, she was there fixing my hair and makeup. Just prior to the grand march, she put my hair into a ponytail that put together in a lobby of a resort. Looking back, I am definitely happy I hired her and kept her extra time until grand march. I would highly recommend Jillian both for great HMU during wedding day but also the extra perk of her being there for at least 8 hours. My girls loved it as well.

"Every other wedding vendor, from the venue to the hotel management, commented on how professional she was.

A true wedding expert, I highly recommend Jillian to take your wedding day to the next level."

"You can tell she is truly passionate about what she does and cares so much about making you feel and look your best. If you are looking for someone who will take the time to get to know you personally and see your vision, look no further."
Jillian and Stephanie made me and my bridesmaids look incredible! This was the part of wedding planning that I was most anxious about. From the moment I met Jillian though, I felt instantly comfortable entrusting her with hair and makeup services for me and my bridesmaids. Jillian was so helpful in choosing the perfect style for me and really is a true artist. You can tell she is truly passionate about what she does and cares so much about making you feel and look your best.

"Jillian has done my makeup for the ACA awards, Country weekly Magazine and my wedding. She is hands down the best I’ve had for hair AND makeup. I’ve traveled the world and had a lot of people work on me before"
Jillian has done my makeup for the ACA awards, Country weekly Magazine and my wedding. She is hands down the best I’ve had for hair AND makeup. ( I’ve traveled the world and had a lot of people work on me before). She is such an amazing and talented person in both departments. She did the bridal party’s hair as well and all of them had nothing but compliments for her. I will always reach out to Jillian to do my H/M for any event first. Not only that but she is a sweetheart to work with!!! 10 stars from me ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I hired Jillian every chance I could for some major country artist video shoots and was so impressed that when it was my turn to be glammed, she was my first phone call."
If I could give Jillian more than 5 stars, I would in a heart beat! Before becoming a bride, I produced country music videos (CMT & GAC). I hired Jillian every chance I could for some major country artist video shoots and was so impressed that when it was my turn to be glammed, she was my first phone call. On my wedding day, Jillian made me feel like the most beautiful person on the planet!!! She is so professional but SO much fun. She really listens and understands exactly what look you're going for and is able to execute that look with perfection! I'd recommend her to anyone who wants a wonderful glam experience! She is the best of the best for hair and makeup!
