LG Makeup + Tans

The business has two studios: one in Salons Etc. at 324 East Geneva Road in Wheaton, and one in Sola Salon Suites at 1163 North State Street in Chicago.

Makeup work covers bridal and beauty looks fitted to each client's style and suited to being photographed. Editorial, commercial, runway and print makeup can be done traditionally or by airbrush. Special effects work includes blood, cuts, burns, prosthetics, faux beards, hair pieces and life casts. Light hairstyling is offered alongside special occasion makeup.

Airbrush tanning is custom, with several shades and formulations and tan fragrances available on request. The solution is organic and anti-aging, containing aloe vera and vitamins A, E and C. Wheaton full body spray is $75, a full body rapid solution spray is $80, half body is $50, and targeted areas start at $35. Chicago full body spray is $85, rapid full body is $90, half body is $60, and targeted areas start at $45. Tan prices may change after a consultation. Rapid tans stay on 4 to 6 hours and extreme rapid tans 1 to 3 hours, and both must be requested before the appointment. A standard tan should stay on for at least 8 hours.

Four-tan packages cost $260 in Wheaton or $300 in Chicago, which works out to $65 or $75 per tan. They must be paid up front, are for in-studio use only, do not expire and cannot be transferred. Competition tans cost $260 in Wheaton and $280 in Chicago and include three coats and a custom fragrance. Spray tan parties can be held onsite or in studio, and onsite parties need at least four paying guests. Onsite tans are full body only and carry a travel fee, and parking or valet costs are paid by the client. Services are offered locally and internationally. A date is held only once a signed contract and a non-refundable 50% deposit are received. Bookings are made through the contact form or by email, with replies within 48 hours. Gratuity is not included in rates and tipping is optional.

Each service is shaped to the individual, from makeup matched to personal style to tan shades and formulations chosen for the client.
