Out of towner needs recs/help

I'm going to be in town in a couple weeks and will be attending a military awards dinner.  I'm hoping to find someone who can come to my hotel and do my hair and make-up.  Does anyone have any recs?  I'm staying at the Palmer House. 

 Also, I'm supposed to wear a cocktail dress, but isn't cold as S%$# there?  What would you wear to an event like this?  Please help!

 Thanks in advance ladies.

Re: Out of towner needs recs/help

  • No recs for who would come to your hotel, but I wear dresses year round.

    Wear a long, heavy coat overtop and don't spend anytime outside! That's what cabs are for. 

  • I would only know of bridal hair & makeup people who come to locations. Not sure if you want to pay that much for hair & makeup & for their parking downtown, but if so, let us know and we can get you the names of people who did our hair & makeups for our weddings.

    If you are ok with going to a salon, there are a bunch on Michigan Ave about a mile north of where you will be. A short $10 cab ride to and from. Mario Tricoci is at 900 N Michigan. Asha Salon & Spa is at 1135 N State St.

    And for what to wear, we still wear cocktail dresses in the winter here, even backless & sleeveless, but like pp said, where a warm jacket and take a cab to & from!

  • I was just a little worried about going to a salon and then going back out and having my hair get all messed up or something.  I checked out Tricoci and it looks like a nice place and close too thanks!  I need to find a long jacket to wear and we'll be riding in a limo, so hopefully it won't be too bad.

    Thanks!
