Professional beauty!
Loved working with Julianne & Justina
Her hair stylist, Justina is also a wonderful person that was very accommodating and is very talented in doing hair. I was particularly nervous about my hair because I wanted to keep my natural curls and do I nice updo that had strands hanging off and she even put the left over floral pieces and in my loose bun. Not many hair stylists gained my respect and confidence when they work with my natural curls, but Justina did an amazing job. In my trial run, we tried three different looks and all three looked classy and matched the look I was going for. My hair on my wedding day was comfortable and looked great. She also did my mother in law's hair. My MIL didn't know what she wanted and gave her free reign. It looked very nice. My mother in law is an older Asian woman that doesn't get her hair done often and she loved her look.
They were both on time and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with my final look. I highly recommend going with Prettyologie.
As for hair, Julianne and her team did up-dos for all seven of my bridesmaids and they all looked fantastic. I actually went to a salon that had been pre-booked for me and was unhappy with the result. While Julianne was doing my makeup she gently suggested I have someone on her team take a look. I agreed and within 10 minutes my hair had been totally taken down and re-pinned to perfection. I actually received the most compliments on my elegant french twist than any other part of my look that day.
Julianne and her team really went the extra mile to create such a joyful space for us to all get ready. I couldn't recommend this service more!
Charming and humorous, Julianne was everything I needed; she took the stress right out of the situation and allowed me to relax into her capable hands. She's patient and down-to-earth, and if a look isn't working for you, she takes care to listen and meet your needs.
I was also dealing with a bad breakout from all of the stress. Julianne worked her magic and covered everything up! My skin looked radiant in all of the photos. Even through multiple bouts of happy tears, my eye makeup stayed on all night. I also absolutely loved the MAC lip gloss color she selected for me - my new favorite!
The makeup and hair for my bridesmaids, mom, and grandma also looked stunning! They all received multiple compliments from the other guests.
We first met in person when we did my bridal trial which I also used for my engagement photos. I was nervous because I tend to steer towards the more natural look with makeup. But Julianne listened to what I wanted and the photos ended up looking amazing! Also, Julianne was spot-on when she recommended going darker with the eyes and fuller with the lashes on wedding day.
On wedding day I didn't worry at all what I would look like because I knew that she would make me beautiful. Having been a bridesmaid multiple times, I knew brides who were nervous & hesitant on wedding day because they didn't entirely trust their makeup artist. I didn't feel any of that at all. Julianne knows exactly what to do.
My makeup lasted ALL DAY for my entirely outdoor wedding too! She put together a touch-up kit, which my bridesmaid used on me once. But that was it!
Working with Julianne for hair is Justina. She did my hair for both the trial & wedding day. We tried two hairstyles for the trial, a full up-do and a half-up/half-down style. I originally was going to go with the up-do for my wedding hair but decided last minute to do the half-up/half-down style. Oh, an I also cut 5 inches off my hair 3 weeks out from wedding day... Didn't phase Justina at all. I loved my hair!
Julianne & Justina also did makeup and hair for my bridesmaids and mom as well! They all looked super beautiful, basically perfected versions of their beautiful selves.
Working with them is a dream. Julianne's rates are also super reasonable for including travel, airbrush makeup, and false lashes!
With dry skin that gets oily throughout the day, a fiancé that didn't like makeup, and no knowledge or background in makeup, Julianne worked her magic. She took into account all the details of my wedding including the location and my dress and did my makeup so that it matched perfectly. She also worked within my budget and was very flexible. The day of, the makeup wasn't caked on, stayed perfect the whole day, and looked amazing in photos. I literally am amazed that it is possible for me to look as good as I did! In addition to my face, Julianne took the time to make sure everything about me was flawless. She covered up tan lines on my shoulders, and even knew to cover up the unsightly mole on my neck, which is my least favorite feature of myself. I almost cried when I had to take it all off. In addition, Julianne was a joy to work with. She was sweet, fun, personable, and quick! Even though we did not have that much time to get me ready before the wedding Julianne never made me feel stressed. I throughly enjoyed my time with her and felt comfortable and relaxed with her.
I HIGHLY recommend Julianne for any makeup needs you might have. I have her number ready for myself, the next time I want to look fabulous!
