Fun, kind, talented! An absolute gem!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jules! She did hair and makeup for my wedding for me, my bridesmaids and mum, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, she was so warm, fun, and easy to be around, which really helped set a relaxed and positive tone for the whole day.

Not only did she make me feel absolutely beautiful, but she went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and happy. She took the time to listen to what I wanted and made sure everything was perfect. Her attention to detail was incredible! Baring in mind I have curly frizzy hair that never stays neat all day, my hair and makeup looked flawless all day long through dancing and the warm weather!

She truly has a talent for making everyone feel at ease, and it was such a pleasure having her as part of my wedding day. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing, professional, and kind artist for their special occasion. Thank you again for making me feel so confident and beautiful on my big day!

Hi Julie

I am so sorry it has taken so long to email you and thank you.

I absolutely loved my hair and make up on the day and can't thank you enough for bearing with me through all my indecisiveness! You were so calm and reassuring during the weeks before the wedding when I was changing my mind about my hair on a daily basis!

On the day you were so lovely to have around and went far beyond the service that we booked. I loved having you with me and you stayed right until I was in my dress which was great.

I had so many lovely comments about my dress, hair and makeup - you should be very proud.

I hope you like the photos I have attached although I do have some others from the photographer which show off my hair much more but I don't have them at work so I will email them to you from home.

Thanks again Julie for being a star!

Hi Julie

I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful hair and make up you created for myself, 3 daughters and 2 very excitable grandchildren on my wedding day.

From the first contact with you i felt as if you were a friend who i had just called for a chat about ideas it was so easy to talk to you.

It was a lovely experience being with you on the day your calmness and reassurance to all of us was amazing the whole morning was spent chatting and laughing and we all felt safe in your hands.

I would recommend Julie to everyone.
Once again a great big thank you Julie .

Baytree Hotel Burford Hair and Makeup

During a visit to a wedding fair, I met Julie and noticed she was offering the package I was searching for- Hair and Makeup! She instantly made me feel relaxed and she had a genuine interest in my wedding and how she would fit into the day. During my trial, Julie was able to follow my vague hair and make up ideas and I instantly loved the work she had done. On my wedding day, Julie arrived early and organised her numerous bags of makeup while she chatted to me and my bridesmaid, helping to keep the morning relaxed. Julie stayed until I was in my dress and happy with my look. All of our hair and makeup looked fantastic and original. We had constant compliments and our hair and makeup stayed immaculate all night long. I would highly recommend Julie for perfect wedding hair and Makeup.

Thank you so much for doing such a fantastic job!

Caswell House March 2014

I was really pleased with the hair and makeup. I was a bit nervous about having someone else do my makeup because I am so fair skinned, but it was really helpful to have the trial before hand to fully understand what I did and didn't want. You took a real interest in the wedding and getting a sense of the theme and colourings to make sure the hair and makeup matched, and you were so friendly and made me feel really comfortable straight away. Thank you so much!

Makeup and Hair

Jules, what can I say! You were an absolute gem from the word go on our big day. You calmed my nerves and made me giggle, I'll never forget the cows ganging up on the calf!

You are an incredibly talented lady and I can't thank you enough for all your efforts. My husband thanks you for making me a beauty! The girls looked incredible too. You three girlies make a fantastic team and I couldn't have asked for anything more. Our day was truly perfect.

I will be recommending you to everyone :)

Thank you so much again,
Mrs Griffiths :) xxx

Swan and Minster Mill Wedding

I knew it was going to be a challenge for whoever did my hair, being a thick as three people's and unruly to boot. I don’t generally enjoy going to the hairdressers, as I have been made to feel uncomfortable about taking up so much of the stylist’s time and on the whole don’t really take much pride in my hair. My experience with Julie could not have been more different. I don’t consider myself to be very pretty but Julie made me feel truly beautiful during our trials and on my wedding day.

I’m sure Julie must have spent double the time she would normally on a bride’s hair but in her words wanted it to be ‘perfect’. To say Julie went above and beyond in helping me find my look would be an understatement. Julie was fundamental in creating a look that encapsulated the style and feel of what I wanted for the wedding and in transforming me into the bride I never dreamed I could be.

On the wedding day, I received so many compliments about my hair and makeup and even the photographer asked for Julies details after saying mine was the best wedding hair he had seen this year!

Thank you so much Julie for all your hard work.

Wedding Hair & Make Up

At the trial prior to the wedding Julie immediately put me at ease. Her friendly manner allowed me to have my say in what I liked (and didn't like) and she listened and was able to offer her expert advise and provide me with a look that I wanted.

On the day of the wedding she provided such a calming atmosphere and it immediately made me feel relaxed. My make up looked flawless and without looking or feeling too done up, my skin was glowing. Best of all my make up stayed put all day, through tears, laughter and lots of dancing.

Julie made me feel very special and my mum was delighted with her make up also and loved being pampered by Julie. I received so many lovely compliments about my make up on the day, which made me so happy.

I can not thank Julie enough for the care and attention she gave to my and my mum's make up and to the service that she provided for hair for two of the bridesmaids. I will not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family.

Kind regards

Zoe

Wedding Hair and Make Up

Julie,


I would like to thank you so so much for doing my wedding hair for me and my bridesmaids...everyone of us didn't have anything to complain about. The communication was excellent and without a doubt it was the best experience I have ever had. I felt like a princess on my wedding day and recieved nothing but compliments from my guests the whole day as the transformation was unbelievable and no matter what photo was taken I looked stunning. I couldnt have been happier with the end result my hair was amazing and my make up was flawless and didnt need touching up once all day!
I have already recommended you to a number of people and would definitely use your service again and again...you were patient, kind and so easy to get on with and made everyone just dazzle around you, I really cannot thank you enough
you truly are a star

Wedding Hair & Make Up

"I just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to Julie for doing my hair and make up and my mum's and eldest daughter and youngest daughters hair. Also we would like to thank Charley who helped on the wedding day, lovely lady and friendly.

From the trial Julie was very easy to talk to and made me feel relaxed and listened and gave ideas and made me laugh! I loved my hair it made me feel glamorous and knew that is how I wanted it for my wedding.

On the day of the wedding Julie was bright and early with a smile on her face she made all of us feel relaxed.

My make up looked lovely, quite natural looking but with some colour just what I wanted and the only thing I needed to touch up was my lippy at night! My hair was also lovely just like on the trial and best of all it stayed lovely all day and night!

My eldest daughter was amazed with her hair transformation and it made her cry because she LOVED it so much. Also my Mum and youngest daughter looked lovely and I felt that all of us all complimented each other well.

Overall it was a great experience and Julie is a lovely lady, very easy to chat to I felt like I'd known her for years!

I would not hesitate to use her service again and I would recommend 100% and I have done to some ladies and I will carry on recommending.

Warm Wishes

Wedding Hair & Make Up

I can’t thank Julie enough for the amazing job she did on my hair and make up. Right from the start she was helpful, friendly and professional and she managed to take my useless description and turn it into exactly what I wanted. She kept us all calm on the day and made me feel and look like a princess. On top of this she did an amazing job organising all of my bridesmaid’s, my mother’s and my little flower girl’s hair and make up. She even went beyond the call of duty and stayed to help with my veil and dress along with her assistant Charlotte! I would recommend Julie in an instant and wish I could have her doing my hair and make up every day!
