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 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!

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!

Vendor response to review

Thank you Megan, for your review! What an excellent point you made..a Shorter hairstyle can be made to look longer! Besides adding extensions I can work with a clients own hair length many times-making it look fuller and longer. It was treat working with you and your girls on your special 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.

Vendor response to review

Thank you so much for your feedback...you are one client I have always missed :-) It was a pleasure working with you and your wedding party- And what a good-looking bunch! Best wishes to you. Thanks again for taking time.

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.

Your review meant so much to me Amy. I really enjoyed how organized and beautiful you and your family made your wedding day. I enjoyed so much being a part of it. What a lovely, calm and easygoing bride you were! You made my work run so smoothly also. I have fond memories. Much happiness to you and your sweet husband. Tell your great friends hello from me!

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!

Pictures, whether stills or moving, last a lifetime and with the new age of HD digital photography...there is no room for uneven, patchy makeup applications. Loni has been a professional model for many years and has seen vast changes in makeup products and application methods. She offers the most innovative services available currently and uses the best in HD products for any project. Loni chooses airbrush methods most often for film projects as the application lasts longest, stays freshest and actors find it very comfortable for 10 hours on set.
Why should brides experience less than the very best an industry artist can offer?

Options are limitless with the beauty of airbrush, extra hair (when needed), and the incredible styling you can achieve on your wedding day. Airbrush makeup is the best choice for discriminating brides who want only the best and most beautiful results. The seamless finish of airbrush is skin-perfecting, light-diffusing and comfortable for today’s picture perfect high-resolution photography.Don’t forget about the Groom! Through consultations and e-mails we will determine your hair and makeup needs, size of bridal party and location of your big day. Trial runs may be planned optionally. Loni can become your personal assistant and is a skilled floral designer using native plants and flowers to create a beautiful treasure to suit your wedding style. When there is a need for two or more sets of creative hands...no worries. Loni works closely with and has access to other talented and trained artists that I employ to assist with your larger wedding needs.


Airbrush makeup seems innovative and brand new but actually has been developed over 30 years ago- and Loni was trained by the founder of longest running Hollywood airbrush company in existence …which means that she has the best education that is offered by the pioneer herself. The product Loni uses has been used on celebrity clients for decades for film and television mediums. Loni has experiences with HD motion picture film, HD Digital photography, commercials and even integrated advertising for the web. She has used airbrush for all of these mediums in one way or another. 
Loni has just the right products to achieve the beautiful results you want.

 

ABOUT AIRBRUSH MAKEUP:

•Thousands of microdots of color to correct & colorize the skin
•Dries faster than other brands, no silicone to prevent “melting.”
•Hypoallergenic and sanitary
•Water-based and the safest type of makeup

•Body imperfections can be easily blurred or covered to an even result
•Paramedical (water-proof) available for tattoo, scar and bruise cover-up

Is airbrush not preferred by you or members of your party? Being a pro, I use only the best in MAC, Jane Iredale, Bare Escentuals, and MUFE products for the most desirable finishes and color on your wedding day.


About AIRTANNING:
•Sugar-based DHA and completely safe
•Light and Dark formulas available
•Portable and can be planned for your bridal party the day prior to you wedding day

can be scheduled the evening prior to your event and develops while you get your beauty rest! AirTan has a two stage development chemistry that initially gives color and after cleansing, continues to develop for 24 hours naturally increasing your glow into the evening following.


HAIR EXTENSIONS:
Do you admire the looks of Hollywood starlets and soap actresses on their wedding days? Do red-carpet results seem unrealistic for you on yours? Well believe it or not-many have a secret. The secret is extra hair! Most of the red-carpet hair designs that you see have the added benefit of--well, added hair! With over 10 years of hair extensions experience, Loni can make your hair Dreams come true!  Loni is trained and certified in advanced hair color methods with with several product companies. Great hair extensions start with great hair color! Remember, color matching is key and there is skill and art in blending your own natural hair to the 100% natural human hair that must be used to get believable beautiful results. Loni hand blends and mixes multiple colors found naturally in a clients hair. 

 

•Strand by strand I-tip micro cylinders: reusable, comfortable and offer customization of color.

FAQ for www.fashionforwardbeauty.com by Loni

What beauty services do you offer?
Hair, Makeup, Manicure / Pedicure
Do you offer trials and consultations?
Yes
Can you service a large group or bridal party?
Yes
Do you charge for trials?
Prices are offered with or without trials for the bride. Some weddings I book require distant travel - I can arrange a trial the day prior at a destination location. I will try to accomodate your needs.
Do you specialize in textured hair?
I do not specialize in textured hair..I have worked with a variety of textures however.
Do you provide any specialty services? (airbrushing, hair extensions, etc.)
Airbrush Cosmetics and Hair Extensions are my specialty with over 12 years of experience! Some of my images include "added hair" extensions for fullness or length. I also do offer some floral arranging services for destination weddings as well as on location airbrush tanning services. My website fashionforwardbeauty.com shows images of my work. I use the best in products including the highly coveted Airbrush Makeup, MAC, Makeup Forever for HD results and Jane Iredale as well as Bare Escentuals for the client preferring mineral products. I have vast experience with commercial print, publications, commercials and HD film and digital photography. Your makeup will appear as flawless as possible. Remember~ makeup is as beautiful as the canvas I am working with. Take care of your skin before your wedding. Hydrate, exfoliate and a facial more than a week prior to your date is advised.
Do you travel to the client on the day of the event? If yes, is there a fee?
Depending on the distance I do charge addtl. travel fees accordingly. Those will be determined at the time of consultation. I have traveled as far as the UK and Lake Tahoe for weddings.
How many customers can you serve at one time if the bride were to book her entire bridal party? Are there discounts for doing so?
There are rates for a wedding party and A La Carte rates, as well. I can determine what I can handle through a consultation. I hire a second and third (if needed) trusted artist to join me when the occasion arises. I have provided service to as many as 7-10 person parties for an afternoon wedding.
How far in advance should clients book your services?
This varies according to what is scheduled... I would suggest planning ahead. Six months to a year is advisable when scheduling beauty services. Please check, Someone may not have scheduled your date and scheduling may be possible.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you decide to cancel following the trial a typical styling and makeup fee will be deducted from your deposit, for my time. Cancellations within the month of your wedding date will forfeit your deposit in the full amount of bridal services. Remaining value will be reimbursed including wedding party and travel fees.
Additional Advice
have also worked extensively in the pageant industry and was a former state titleholder and have competed at a national level. I was proudly named a national fitness award winner so know the value of good body contouring with tanning and makeup services. I also know the importance of comfortable, very-long-lasting and beautiful makeup. I am a professional model and have been involved with Television and film projects as well as numerous theater projects. I have provided makeup and hair services to many state and national level pegeant contestants as well as over 300 Brides...and over 500 wedding parties. I have been pleasured to be part of so many beautiful women's lives.
Please ask if you have any questions or concerns...I am at your service. My goal is to make your day run as smoothly as possible.
