Jenni Burch- owner/makeup artist/hairstylist - @hairby.jenni_may7
Hi Im Jenni! I am the owner of Loft Bridal and the face behind all the emails and inquiries. I also own a salon, The Hive Salon in East Peoria. I’m married to my wonderful husband, Andy and we have two boys Oliver and Grayson. There is something about enhancing one’s natural beauty that truly speaks to my soul. Not only do I do hair and makeup, I also am certified in Invisible Bead Hair Extensions, a method that can add value and length to your hair to help create your dream wedding hair. Being a part of someones ‘big’ day is very rewarding and I am blessed to be a part of a wonderful bridal team. Being in this industry allows me to be creative while giving each one of my clients a specific look they are going for.
cynthia Kocher- hairstylist- @cynthianicolehair
Hello beautiful! My name is Cynthia. Hair is my full time passion, I have been in the industry since 2005! The other loves of my life are my husband Jake and our five year old Tanner, our almost one year old Kennedy, and our sweet dog Lucy! I really enjoy connecting with brides on their special day, and working with you to develop the hairstyle perfect for your look!
Emma jones- hairstylist - @kelsonkreations
Hey y'all! I'm Emma and I've been in the beauty industry since 2016. I get to call my everyday job a passion that brings me pure happiness! Formal updos have always had a special place in my heart. I find it so rewarding to make you feel and look beautiful on your big day! I also specialize in lash lifting and tinting. These are services that can help enhance your natural lashes in ways you didn't even know were possible. I am a mama of three beautiful kiddos and two sweet (but ornery) huskies. You can always catch me and my little minis at the coffee shop playing board games, at the park being wild, or snuggling up in a fort with loads of snacks. I am so blessed to be a part of such an amazing team of talented stylists, and look forward to being a part of your special day!
brooke Krause- Hair Stylist- bdelain.updos
Hi my name is Brooke! I’ve been a hairstylist for 16 years. My husband Kraig and I have two beautiful young children who love to keep us on our toes. We have a love for the outdoors and being in the sun! Since having my babies, I switched to 1 night a week behind the chair and a bridal stylist on the weekends! On top of that, I work part-time as an admin assistant to a local company. I became a stylist for my love of styling and updos! Professionally, nothing brings me more joy or pride than making others feel beautiful on their big day and getting to be a part of the getting ready process!
Bree Schatsiek- hairstylist- @wildhoney_bree
Hi there! I am Bree. I am a graduate of Oehrlein School of Cosmetology and coming up on 10+ years behind the chair. My husband, Tyler, and I have two beautiful little girls who love to play with hair as much as their mamma does! I am not only a hair stylist, I am also certified to do classic lash extensions through Borboleta. I am extremely lucky to have a job that allows me to be creative and fulfills me. I truly love making every person that sits in my chair feel special.
Sydney Soland- Makeup artist/Hairstylist - @Sydneyhair_makeup
Hi, Im Sydney! I’ve been in the industry for 7 years now. For all 7 of those years I have been a hairstylist and makeup artist with Loft Bridal! I am a licensed Cosmetologist and currently work behind the chair at The Hive Salon in East Peoria IL. Hair and makeup has always been a passion of mine. I love to make people feel beautiful and special, it fills me heart and soul with such joy! Calling this a job just wouldn’t be right, getting to do something I love and have a creative outlet is very rewarding! I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the love and support of my family, my husband Kyle, my 3 year old Dawson and soon to be baby girl!
ALicia heiser- MAkeup artist - @luxe.aestheticsstudio
Hey! Im Alicia, I started my career in the beauty industry working as a MedSpa Coordinator for a plastic surgeon at a local MedSpa. My passion for skincare and aesthetics drove me to get my aestheticians license. I wanted to create a space where I could offer the highest quality of treatments and one-on-one support to clients. I love custom designing result driven treatments to achieve the best possible result for each of my clients.
Kate mauschbaugh- Hairstylist- @hairbykatecook
Hi! My name is Kate and I have been a hairstylist for 5 years now. I am a graduate of Paul Mitchell and love working behind the chair and especially with brides and bridal parties. I have recently stepped away from the salon/behind the chair to pursue my nursing career at OSF but love being able to work as as stylist in my free time. Being able to make others feel beautiful inside and out is my favorite part of my job!
hannah moore- Hairstylist - @hairbyhannah815
I’m Hannah, I am so excited to be a part of the Loft Bridal team. I moved to Peoria in 2012 to go to cosmetology school and start my career behind the chair. In 2021 my husband and I moved back to our hometown and started family, I am very lucky to get to be a mostly stay at home mom, and focus on my professional career solely on special occasion hair. I love styling hair and jokeI cannot remember the last time I attended a wedding that I didn’t do hair for. It is always such an honor to be a part of someone’s special day.
Brenna hall- hairstylist - @hairbybrenna

When I’m not working for Loft Bridal, I’m working at a salon called Alibi Beauty. In my free time I love to read books and spend time with my family. I can’t wait to meet you and make all your hair dreams come true for your big day!

Hey there! I’m Gaby and one of Loft Bridal’s hairstylists. I also work behind the chair during the week doing lived-in color, hand tied hair extensions and of course doing bridal trials! When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my family, obsessing over my dog, binging shows and getting coffee! I can’t wait to meet you and be a part of your special day!
Morgan hobbs- makeup artist
Hi, Im Morgan! I am a licensed Esthetician and have been in love with makeup for as long as I can remember. I really got into playing around with different looks when I was in highschool and my career started by doing some friends makeup here and there for prom/homecomings. Playing around with makeup then turned into a love for skincare; I did my research and learned that in order to have good looking, seamless makeup it all starts with a good canvas/base and that lead me to pursue a career in Esthetics and makeup! I’d describe my style as neutral glam; I love full coverage looks with blush, bronzer, neutral eye shadow tones and false lashes. I love making people feel like themselves, but elevated.
CAITLIN ENGLEBRECHT - MAKEUP ARTIST - @SKIN.BY.CAITLIN
HI, I’m Caitlin! I’m and esthetician and bridal makeup artist with 8+ years of experience and I absolutely love creating soft, glow glam looks with a flawless airbrush finish. Makeup is my passion but my heart belongs to my little family - my one year old son Benny, my black lab, Mack, and my husband. When I’m not glamming up brides, you’ll usually find us outside soaking up the fresh air and making memories together. I can’t wait to work with you!
