    Felt like a beautiful princess!

    Julie was the make-up artist for my sisters wedding, maternity shoot, and baby shower. So I knew that she was talented. When I first met her at my sisters wedding she was so kind and easy to work with. She has since expanded her business to incorporate more talented artists. She was very accommodating especially when I had to add another girl to the schedule a week before the wedding. Julie and Melanie were the ones who did my hair and make-up. They were very accommodating for my trails, which was a struggle due to Covid and me living over 3 hours away! They nailed exactly what I wanted and working with me to make sure it was perfect. When they were finished on my wedding day, I cannot believe how beautiful I looked and felt! They did an amazing job! Since I had 10 people getting hair and make up done, Alexis and Dana were also there. Everyone loved the way they looked!

    The perfect day!

    I had the pleasure of working with Ashley Cruz for my wedding. She is beyond talented at what she does. My hair and makeup was perfect throughout the entire day. My bridal party and mom were so impressed with her work as well. Ashley truly made me feel so beautiful. She was so attentive to every detail; she has such a calming presence that kept me at ease. Thank you so much Ashley!

    Ultimate Glam Squad

    Julie, Melanie, Holly, and Annie are the ultimate dream team in every way. Holly & Annie did a fabulous job with my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law - literally creating looks identical to the pictures they provided. My MIL wanted very subtle makeup and they accommodated her requests beautifully. Julie & Melanie were amazing from start to finish - starting with my trial and being so understanding & considerate to my requests. Julie knew I was not a makeup lover - and offered to use whatever products I liked and even bought the whole armani line when I told her that was what worked for me! She has such attention to detail, and would not quit until I was 100% happy. Melanie created the exact hairstyle I was going for, romantic waves that actually stayed in place. Still no idea how she got those halo extensions in my hair, but she did! I am so grateful to Julie & her team for making my whole bridal party happy, and being such a pleasure to work with!!

    Amazing Work for a laid back bride

    I am by so pleased with the service I received from Julie and Melanie. Growing up a “tomboy” I never put in a lot of effort when it came to hair and make up, and I still have an extremely minimalistic routine (0 makeup and a quick dose of mousse/hairspray to curl and tame frizzy wavy hair).

    Not only does Julie have an eye for detail, she listens to the needs and wants of her clients. In our through preliminary phone call Julie got a sense of my style, our wedding aesthetic, and the needs of the other members of the wedding party. She promptly followed up that phone call with a quote for her services and from that day forward I knew I was going to be well taken care of.

    I came in for both a hair and make up trial on a busy Saturday afternoon, but I never once felt like other clients took priority over my trial. As someone who doesn’t wear makeup I felt like I was a difficult client because I didn’t have any preferences on things I liked or disliked. My baseline was “I want to look like myself, but a little fancier for photos.” I was a blank canvas for Julie, and during this visit I realized just how much skill and creativity is required to be a make up artist. Julie took specific notes about what i liked so shed be ready to recreate it on my wedding day. look for the wedding day. I knew I wanted my hair half up/half down with a braid and Melanie delivered just that. She even suggested a few different small details I could incorporate into the braid. The day of the wedding Julie and Melanie arrived at our hotel ready to work their magic for myself, my mother and 3 of my bridesmaids. Julie and Melanie were professional, and blended seamlessly into the groups conversation. Special shoutout to Melanie for helping my mom secure her wig! (which we hadn’t previously agreed to). Julie and Melanie were a breeze to work with, but most importantly they’re extremely skilled and personable. I’m so glad I trusted them for my special day.

    Absolutely the best!!

    I highly recommend Julie and Bar Beauty! She is amazing to work with! I have heard so many friends horror stories regarding “natural looks” but Julie really heard me and truly made me feel like a natural beauty! On top of her hearing my preferences and feedback, she was so much fun to be around - I felt like she was a friend of mine on my wedding day, who just happens to be super talented at makeup. I did two trials with her, as we couldn’t decide on airbrushing or not - and it was absolutely worth it, she is so talented and doesn’t have a heavy hand, my airbrushing still looked natural! I felt truly radiant on my wedding day, but also felt and looked like myself.

    I had my entire bridal party get ready at the salon, even though it was just me for makeup and three girls for hair. They were so accommodating and it was wonderful to get ready there, away from the ceremony site with all the setup chaos, it was a super fun and relaxing morning with Julie and her team.

    One more gushing note about Julie, she’s really accommodating. When I originally booked months out from our wedding date, I had four bridesmaids planned for hair, but as the wedding approached, only three decided to go with professional hair. Julie was so understanding and allowed a small modification of our agreement - taking away any stress that might have incurred from the confusion. I’m sure it’s circumstance specific, but she was willing to work with me and I very much appreciated it.

    Our hair also turned out amazing - our lead hair was Melanie and she was a wonder to work with. She heard all my bridesmaids wishes and they looked phenomenal. Also, her flower placement for your hair is unmatched, natural and beautiful!

    Bottom line: book Julie and her hair team, If I lived in the area and be a frequent visitor!

    Julie and her partner were very flexible for our prep before the long day! All of my bridesmaids loved their make-up! Julie is very-detailed oriented and has an eye for the right colors to accentuate your features, especially eyes! Julie, thank you for making us all feel glamorous! I would not hesitate to recommend you to others looking for the right make-up artist!

    Julie is the BEST!! I am so thankful I found her for my wedding! Julie was extremely professional and personable throughout the my entire planning process. When the wedding day came, her and her assistant Melanie did makeup for all of my bridesmaids, my mom, my mother in law and myself. Julie and Melanie knew exactly what to do for each girl and the result was WOW. Every single lady looked stunning and I felt amazing! Our makeup stayed on from morning to night and we received endless compliments. Julie traveled to our wedding venue and worked extremely well with all of my other vendors to ensure my girls and I were ready on time. She had us ready with time to spare! No stress involved. Thank you Julie and Melanie for your amazing talent. Best Glam squad around

    I’d recommend Julie and her fabulous team to anyone who wants to look and feel beautiful for their wedding! Julie was super sweet from the moment I met her and we clicked right away. She did an amazing job on my makeup trial, which gave me a chance to see what I wanted for the day and what I wanted to change, and she was so accommodating! Needless to say, my makeup ended up being perfect on my wedding day, no muss, no fuss, no need for touch ups. Monica did my hair and made me feel like a princess!! I showed her pictures of examples I wanted when I met her for my trial, and she knocked it out of the park on the first try. (She is also a fellow Whovian, so we had plenty to talk about with my “Doctor Who” themed wedding.) Joseph and Melanie joined us to do my girls’ hair and makeup, and everyone looked stunning. They are so talented and fun to be around, I couldn’t have asked for more! Thanks Julie and Co.!

    I found Julie on the wedding apps and I’m so happy I did! It was wonderful to work with her - from my trial to the big day, she was the best! She was very professional, friendly, and truly listened to me and what I wanted. The feedback I gave after the trial was remembered and carried out on my wedding day and my makeup, as well as my wedding party’s, looked amazing!! She made everything so easy and stress free as well with an invoice right to my email a couple days before the wedding.

    Julie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was so friendly, personable, and professional. She was willing to travel to me and do just my make up as the bride which was so accommodating. After my trial, my mom decided to get her eyes done by Julie and she was willing to accommodate her as well and THEN the day of, my mom decided to have Julie do all of her make up and Julie didn't even flinch, she was so flexible with all the last minute changes. Her pricing is very reasonable and she does an amazing job. My make up looked perfect, it enhanced my features without being over the top and she makes sure you are 100% happy with the look. I highly recommend Julie for her caring personality, top notch skills, and accommodating services.

    Julie is a warm, welcoming, professional person and I loved having her with me on the morning of my wedding. She does a FANTASTIC job with make up. I wear almost zero make up and she achieved a very natural look that still made me feel incredible. HIGHLY recommend this vendor.

    Julie is the makeup artist you want on your wedding day! From my bridal trial to my actual wedding day makeup, Julie did an amazing job! She was so sweet from the first time I met her. On my wedding day, she came with an assistant Brittany. Both did a fabulous job on the makeup for the bridal party! Julie went beyond just caring about how my face looked. I have a skin condition on my arms and under my neck and Julie was so nice, she covered everything up so my skin looked flawless! I definitely hope to work with her again in the future! Book Julie for your wedding day makeup now!

    Julie is awesome! I was able to see her for a bridal trial and she was more than happy to make some modifications from that for my wedding day. She was timely and professional yet was still able to have fun with my girls and me as we spent the morning getting ready. I had airbrush makeup and two of my bridesmaids just did regular makeup and everyone looked beautiful!

    I can not say enough amazing things about Julie! I first met her at wedding show and immediately reached out to her to schedule a trail. When I had my trial not only did she make me feel comfortable and confident but my mother, sister-in-law, and niece all tagged along. Julie talked with all of them and answered any questions they had. A few weeks later I reached out to Julie to book her for me wedding and she even remembered my nieces name while we were talking (little things like that go a long way). From booking her till the day of the wedding she answered any questions I had and was so easy going and kind...she eased any nerves I may of had! The day of she laughed and joked with myself and bridesmaids and myself---we all looked stunning and everyone loved their makeup!! I recommend her to anyone looking for a professional. Not only is she amazingly talented in what she does, but she was professional, timely, and a pleasure to be around!! #aBeautywithJulieBride

    Julie is not only super super sweet but she is amazing at what she does! I don't wear a lot of makeup so I was nervous that I wouldn't like the way it looked or felt. She lisented to everything I said and made me look flawless! The makeup stayed on perfectly the whole night and was not heavy either! I have never felt so beautiful and my husband loved it too! Highly highly recommend!!

    Julie is your girl. I never wear makeup and she was easily able to simplify for em to understand and get exactly what I didn't know I wanted! She did my trial at her studio also came with chairs and all to my hotel day of wedding. She came with an assistant and they worked so well. They even made sure they reapplied lipstick before photos. They are timely and friendly. My morning was so easy with Julie there. She is definitely someone I will use again!!!

    Julie helped me look FABULOUS on my wedding day. I had been going back and forth about getting eyelash extensions and received contact information through a friend and reached out to Beauty with Julie.

    Her professionalism and knowledge about her product and field is well beyond her years. She walked me through the process as she did it and explained it all step by step.

    My eyelashes looked great after all was said and done!!! I am on my honeymoon and still getting compliments a week later!

    Julie is passionate about her work and makes you feel like you matter as a client. She is the real thing! Trust your eyes and lashes with Julie. You won't regret it!

    Julie is fantastic! I was unsure of what I wanted for my wedding day and we talked through it all. She answered all my questions and let me have complete faith in her! I felt like without even having to say too much she knew exactly what I wanted. She truly has a gift for seeing someone and knowing how to help bring out their best! On top of her expertise she's also a great addition on the day of! She has such a fun positive personality that is so helpful to calm your nerves. She was so patient when some of the bridesmaids saw how great everyone else looked and wanted their makeup done too! She also does phenomenal eyelash extensions and airbrush makeup! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for makeup on their wedding day!

    Julie is absolutely incredible on every level. She has AMAZING energy, having Julie in our bridal suite just felt like another close friend sharing in our special day. She's not just another vendor that is part of your day - she is bubbly, fun, personable, you WANT to have her there! She is professional, her pricing is clear and very reasonable. She is very responsive, Julie clarified any question I had very timely and was clear in communicating. She is extremely accommodating to any requests and will work through any concerns - my mother in law was nervous to get her makeup done since she typically doesn't wear make-up, and Julie and Chelsea absolutely blew her away and did the airbrush and lashes. Their work with truly enhance your natural beauty. The proof is in our photographs, and their experience shines through - our makeup held up through the entire day, no touch ups needed, and was flawless through the camera. Doing my bridal trial with Julie made for a streamline day of - we already knew the direction we were going in, I had total trust in Julie just to do her thing which made getting ready fun, rather than stressful! She will listen to what you want, but also give recommendations based on her expertise so you look your best. I can't say enough positive things about Julie and Chelsea, and their willingness to travel to our location day of, they will add so much to your wedding experience, they're a must!

    I met Julie at a bridal show at Pat's Barn and I loved how her makeup was done so I knew she was the one for me! I did my trial and then my shower makeup with her and it came out flawless. She did an amazing job on my makeup and all my girls' makeup on our wedding day. She's super sweet, professional and knows what she's doing. I'm so glad that I had her glam me up for my special day! Thanks Julie :)

    I was given Julie's name from our photographer and I was so happy I did! I met with Julie for a trial run of how I would wear my make up on my wedding day and Julie was very patient and helpful with helping me decide. Julie did the makeup for myself, 4 bridesmaids, and my mom by herself and didn't even take a break once! Everyone loved their makeup and everyone's makeup lasted all night without a problem. Thank you Julie can't wait to have my make up done again!

    Julie not only did a fabulous job with the makeup for my wedding, but also was so accommodating when it came to the makeup trial! She is so sweet and fun to work with. She always has a positive attitude, is very easy to talk to and is professional. So far, I have had her provide services for me on a few occasions and look forward to working with her again for future events!

    I found Julie at a bridal show at the same venue where I was getting married. I am also a Julie so I knew I had to chose her to do my wedding makeup!

    From the start Julie was very personable and such a kind person! She responded quickly to all of my emails and answered all the questions I had. I booked a trial and knew I had to have her do my wedding makeup. Julie also ended up doing my engagement photo makeup which turned out gorgeous! After this I couldn't wait for her to do the makeup for my wedding.

    She sent an itinerary for the day and the day of she was prompt. With 3 girls and myself we had plenty of time for all. Everyone loved their makeup and I received so many compliments, especially on the lashes! It was raining and the makeup stayed on all night for pictures and dancing.

    Look no further for you wedding and engagement makeup artist! Julie is the BEST! Thank you so much for making me beautiful :)

    I booked with Beauty with Julie and had the pleasure of working with Brittany.

    She was absolutely fabulous, and was basically a part of the family for the morning. She was extremely professional, kind and damn good at what she does.

    Thanks Brittany! Thank you Julie for providing a lovely MUA for my big day.

    “Celebrity” stylist?

    Writing this to let everyone know she is most likely lying on her website. She is claiming to be a makeup and hair “celebrity stylist” but I see no body of work with a celebrity. Now I bet a lot of stylists use the “celebrity” term as a selling catch to try and get a higher price and I think this is what she is doing. She has no evidence of ever having worked with a celebrity. This paired with other recent posts makes me believe she isn’t trustworthy. I reached out to her to get clarification and got nothing back for an answer, please be careful.
