Best team ever !!!!!
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 ♥️
The hair & makeup team of my dreams
Highly recommend Giulia for Tuscany destination wedding makeup and hair!
Her English is perfect, which made coordinating all the details seamless and stress-free. On the wedding day, her team arrived on time and worked efficiently to make sure everyone looked and felt beautiful. The makeup and hair lasted beautifully throughout our celebration.
If you're planning a destination wedding in Tuscany and looking for a talented, reliable makeup and hair artist, I can't recommend Giulia highly enough!
Exceptional Hair and Makeup
Because I’m based in the U.S., I wasn’t able to do a trial beforehand, which made me nervous. But Giulia eased every worry. She took the time to have meaningful conversations with me ahead of the wedding, listened so carefully to what I wanted (and didn’t want), and was incredibly informative about how to prepare before the big day. Her communication and professionalism made me feel completely confident walking into the wedding morning.
On the day of, Giulia and her assistant were truly amazing. They not only made me feel beautiful, but they did stunning work on both of our moms and my bridal party as well. Everyone looked flawless and felt their best — the makeup photographed beautifully, and the hairstyles held up really well.
Giulia’s artistry, kindness, and calming presence made such a difference, and I am beyond grateful for her. I can’t recommend her highly enough to any bride looking for someone who is both incredibly skilled and genuinely lovely to work with.
Best makeup artist
Guilia is also so fun to talk to and is such a calming person. Thank you so much Guilia!
Amazing, amazing, amazing!
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!
