Meet the Founder

Catherine Chan

Makeup artist, hairstylist, mother, painter, beauty expert— inspired by artistry, individuality, and the magic of transformation.

Hello, I’m Cat, the founder of Windy City Glam. Before I discovered my love for makeup, I spent ten years painting. Art has always been a part of me, and I see beauty the same way—like painting on a canvas, but with the purpose of enhancing what’s already there.

My career has taken me across ten different countries, working in bridal, stage, film, commercial, and editorial projects. But no matter what I do, nothing compares to the feeling of working with brides.

There’s just something about the energy of a wedding morning, the excitement, the emotions—it never gets old. And honestly, even after all these years, getting a thank-you message from a happy bride still means the world to me.

It’s not just about the makeup or the hair—it’s about how you feel when you look in the mirror and see yourself glowing with confidence.

Along the way, I’ve built an incredible team of artists and stylists—some of the most talented, passionate, and kind-hearted people you’ll ever meet. We’re all about making sure every bride feels comfortable, confident, and absolutely stunning.

At Windy City Glam, we don’t just show up to do your hair and makeup —we’re there to be part of your experience, to bring your vision to life, and to make sure you feel like the most stunning version of yourself. We can’t wait to be part of your special day!
