Makeup And Hair By Traci & Co. is a Chicago-based, private beauty service specializing in celebrity, VIP, and luxury clientele.
Founded by Traci Kleinaitis, a licensed professional with over 25 years of experience, the company is known for delivering elevated hair and makeup services for clients who require discretion, precision, and a team that operates at the highest level. Our work spans private events, high-profile appearances, destination travel, and select weddings by appointment only.
This is not a high-volume studio and not an open booking service.
We intentionally limit the number of events we accept each year. Many of our clients travel us in and invest significantly for the level of experience, calm execution, and professionalism we provide. Appointments with the owner are extremely exclusive; when the owner is not personally servicing an event, clients are matched with a seasoned, licensed artist selected specifically for the scope, timeline, and expectations of the booking.
Our artists are fully licensed, highly experienced professionals — not assistants, not trainees, and not subcontractors pulled at random. Every booking is approached with the same standards expected in celebrity, media, and luxury environments: punctuality, preparedness, confidentiality, and flawless execution.
While we are Chicago-based, our work is not confined to one location. We regularly service clients throughout the city, nationally, and for destination events. Much of our work is private and referral-based, and many clients choose us specifically for our discretion and ability to operate seamlessly within demanding, high-pressure settings.
All services are by appointment only.
Consultation and advance inquiry are required.
Our Philosophy
Luxury is not about volume — it’s about intention.
We believe exceptional beauty services should feel calm, organized, and effortless for the client. From the first inquiry through the final touch-up, our role is to support the larger experience: the event, the schedule, the environment, and the people involved.
Our clients trust us because we show up prepared, composed, and capable — every time.
