Best team ever !!!!!

Where do I begin?! We had our wedding at Villa Cini in Tuscany back in July. Our villa manager (Claudia) had recommended Giulia for hair and makeup. She was absolutely one of our best hires for vendors. She showed up early with her team, was extremely professional and easy to communicate with. I was very nervous on our wedding day, and she did not rush me at all.. I asked to push back my hair/makeup by an hour or so and she had no problem. Giulia has a very calming demeanour., getting my hair and makeup done felt like a spa session before the wedding and i really think that’s what calmed me down before walking down the aisle!!

She made me feel comfortable and asked if I needed breaks to eat or drink in between. I also didn’t have a specific hair style in mind , but with the heat I really wanted the hair out of my face. She suggested Hollywood curls.. best decision ever!!!!! I asked her what she recommended and trusted her professional decision.

Everyone was commenting on how well my makeup and hair were holding up all night … even the guys !! (Who you think wouldn’t notice 😂).
My bridesmaids and the rest of the bridal party actually went swimming afterwards and our makeup did not move !!! I should also mention we had our wedding in the middle of a heat wave and my makeup stayed on all day and my hair did not move. She uses high quality makeup and great brands.

My bridesmaids and I were soooooo happy with all our hair and makeup. She is truly an artist !! It’s hard to find good hair and makeup artist like Giulia in my hometown. Her expertise and dedication to her craft and her customers are very evident. I would recommended her to every one!!!!

Thank you for making me feel like a princess, Giulia ♥️

Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Giulia is truly a master at her craft. She is kind, patient and creative.

Hair: Having curly hair I needed to find someone that really knew how to style it naturally. During our trial she was able to immediately see my vision and brought my wedding hair dreams to life.

Makeup: I was looking for something natural, which was hard to come by before Giulia. During my trial I was open to her suggestions (I’m not big into makeup) and she did not disappoint. She chose colors that complimented my features and talked me through colors that she felt would capture my makeup goals.

Day of: I don’t even know where to being. Giulia and her assistant were beyond amazing. Not only was she there for my hair and makeup but she was there for incredible support all day long. Needed a snack? She called someone over to feed me. Need a drink? She’s got someone on it for me.

Since she stayed past the ceremony she was able to help with photos, fixing my makeup, helping to pose me, fixing my dress. If I recall, she may have carried my train to the aisle with me.

Giulia, I don’t think my day could have run as smoothly without you. Thank you so much for make me feel beautiful and helping to make my day unforgettable!

5 star MUAH

Giulia was the 4th makeup artist I tried for my wedding. I was looking for a natural bridal look, but I found most MUAH applied makeup very heavily. Giulia listened to what I wanted and kept checking I was happy throughout the process. Makeup was probably my biggest worry on my wedding day, but with Giulia I had no concerns! I couldn't recommend her more highly. She also somehow managed to make my hair retain curls - an impressive feat!
