Need hair and makeup stylist!

I need a makeup artist that will come to my home in Orland Park on my wedding day to do my makeup.  Does anyone have any recommendations?

It would be nice if there was a hair stylist as well that would come to my house, but I'm also willing to travel for that.  

There are so many websites for all of this, and some are really expensive.  I don't want to just pick someone without any background.  Help!

    I'm using Melissa from Czar Salon and Spa in Naperville. She coordinates all of the onsite wedding hair and makeup (I'm getting both from them). Her email is melissaczarsalonspa@gmail.com
    HTH!

    I would HIGHLY recommend Holly Kasprisin from Chicago Bridal Hair & Make-Up. She was FANTASTIC. On the day of the wedding, there was a big of a snag, as we blew a fuse but Holly remained fantastically calm, and helped my brother/dad find some extension cords in our basement (clearly, she didn't have to do that), and they were able to reset the fuse and she was on her way. She did SEVEN bridesmaids and was insanely detailed, sweet, patient and just wonderful! She was at my house early to setup all of her equipment - and even came with make-up incase our make-up artist needed help.

    For makeup, we originally had someone booked (signed contract and everything) and the weekend before the wedding, she emails me and says that she cannot fulfill our contract because she was offered an opportunity elsewhere. Well, it turned out GREAT because I used sygllig's referral and called Kimmay Nather, and she was AMAZING! At last-minute notice, she was able to do 7 of my bridesmaids for me, and she did airbrush as well. Everyone was absolutely FLOORED at how fantastic of a job she did; everyone's makeup looked FABULOUS!
    You can see some of her work here:
