Elana Darrus Wedding Makeup & Hair is a Downers Grove-based network of freelance bridal beauty professionals offering on-location hair and makeup services for weddings. The company connects couples with a matched artist and stylist team, drawing on a diverse network of freelance professionals built by founder Elana Darrus, who started her career in 1980 and trained with cosmetic brands including Chanel, Lancôme, Estee Lauder, and Clinique. Elana Darrus Makeup & Hair was established in 2012, with Elana's background spanning Marilyn Miglin Model Makeup, CNN, and the Chicago Lyric Opera House before she founded the company. Services are provided on location, with clients in the greater Downers Grove area. Reviews are mixed: some couples report flawless, long-lasting results from artists like Joyce and Megan, while at least one bride described significant dissatisfaction with stylist responsiveness, execution, and hair durability on the wedding day.
