Lori C. Sent on 11/22/2023I’ve never felt so beautiful
Judy and her assistant really made my wedding wonderful.
I had both a trial and wedding day hair/makeup. We also had 3 other services on my bridesmaids and mother in law. All of our hair and makeup were beautifully done and held up all evening. I couldn’t have imagined I would feel that pretty but Judy sure did make me feel like a princess. -

I had such a great and fun time working with Judy! She took the time to travel for my hair trial. She took her time to find the perfect spot for my bird cage veil! We talked about what I had in mind and she went with it - incorporating my personality into my hairstyle. On the day itself, she was so punctual, waiting for our arrival, ready to go!
She took the time and effort to curl my hair in small bunches so they last longer. You can tell she is passionate and takes pride in her work! She did such a great job with my bridesmaid’s curly hair - she could not stop raving about it and how Judy works magic with curly hair. Judy had such a calming and fun presence in our bridal suite. I felt so beautiful; truly like a bride. Thank you so much for my perfect day.
I will definitely recommend her to anyone! -

Book Judy Now!!!
"Organic" was the word I came up with when my wedding planner asked me what I was looking for in a makeup artist, and I couldn't have been more lucky when she recommended Judy and her team. Judy has a special talent for highlighting your best features and enhancing your natural beauty in a way that looks fabulous in photography without looking overdone in real life. She also has a gift for artfully improvising on the fly - we bought some crystal pins that we didn't think we would ultimately use for my hair, and Judy turned them into a stunning arrangement around my bun. She and her team worked very efficiently on the day of our wedding, and kept my mother, bridesmaids, and I laughing throughout the whole morning. Judy was such a delight to work with, and I couldn't recommend her more!On Location Bridal by Judy Hayward's reply:
Nicole, You, your family and your friends were a true delight. It’s an honor to spend time with you on your most special day! Thank you! -

Simply wonderful
Working with Judy was such a wonderful experience. No words can possibly express how much I loved working with Judy, how excellent her work was, and how easy, enjoyable, and stress-free she made my experience. As a person who is also in the service industry, I can only hope my clients receive half the service that Judy gave to me; this is the highest compliment that I could possibly give.
I did a hair and makeup trial, which was so much fun and helped to finalize some of the touches that I wanted to have the day of. It lasted about 3 hours, and we had the opportunity to talk through the look I was hoping to achieve as well as give it a try to variations to see if I liked something different a bit better. On the day of, my finished touches were so beyond what I could have expected. As an older bride (late 30s), I had a lot of anxiety about my appearance and hoped to look a bit like my younger self (but also appropriate!). I really felt like Judy helped me to look SO beautiful, exactly as I had always hoped to look on my wedding day. I also had my bridesmaids and mother get their hair and makeup done (with the help of Judy's assistant Vanda), and we all looked spectacular. They arrived on site, and were so well organized. They built in additional time in case we wanted to add additional services (a couple of my bridesmaids got spray on makeup last minute), and still finished well within our budgeted time without sacrificing ANY quality.
I just cannot say enough about my experience with Judy. I am so thoroughly pleased, and I would hire her again a million times over (and probably will for upcoming weddings of family members). I absolutely loved working with her. Thank you, Judy, so so much!!!!!!!On Location Bridal by Judy Hayward's reply:
Erin, You are the absolute perfect essence as to why I love my career. Wishing you nothing but joy and beauty.
Thank you! ~Judy -

Judy has been in the business for decades, and that is clear when you are with her. I think back to the morning of my wedding day, how stressed I was & worried about how it would all come together. The one thing I didn't have to worry about was how good my hair & makeup would look. When it comes to those things Judy exudes confidence that's contagious. I started to feel calmer and calmer just taking in the moment of the occasion while under her care. I sat in that chair and my excitement overtook my anxiety. I'm so thankful I went with Judy, she has helped many many brides feel confident as they walk down the aisle, and truly enjoy one of the most joyous days of their lives. I would definitely recommend her! -

If you're looking for someone who is passionate and extremely talented, Judy is your woman! She was very responsive and shared her ideas with me frequently. She listened to all of my crazy ideas and made it even BETTER than I could have imagined! Definitely recommending her to friends :) -

Jill W. Sent on 07/06/2020Easy and perfect hair and makeup!
Judy and Vanda were great makeup and hair artists. I did a trial makeup and hair run for my wedding day that had to be rescheduled at the last minute and Judy was very accommodating to fit me in on a Sunday in early Phase 2 of Virginia for COVID. Judy and I were able to fine tune what I wanted to look like on the big day, so I didn't need to worry about it the day-of. My bridesmaids got express hair done by Judy and express makeup done by Vanda. They did an excellent and efficient job prepping us for the big day. -

Dream Team!
Judy and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with! Typical for a bride in 2020, we had to reschedule our celebration multiple times and Judy stuck with us along the way as we navigated through the uncharted waters of planning a wedding during a global pandemic. Ultimately, we rescheduled our celebration for June 2021 and had a large bridal party of 11 bridesmaids who all required hair and makeup. Judy and her team were incredibly efficient and did an amazing job on everyone’s hair and makeup. Everyone was very pleased with their glam for the big day and everyone’s lasted throughout the night! Judy and her team kept everyone’s looks natural while still looking amazing in photos. I would absolutely recommend Judy and her team for your big day - especially if you have a larger bridal party! -

Katelyn N. Sent on 09/11/2020Wonderful time with Jeanne!
Jeanne was a fantastic makeup artist and so, so sweet. She did my hair and makeup for both my rehearsal and wedding day last weekend, dealing with my twitching eyes with ease and also offering to do my sister’s hair and makeup for free for the rehearsal. She was such a pleasant person that my sister, mom, and other bridesmaids all commented on how wonderful she and her assistant did, particularly in their makeup blending. We looked flawless, yet natural. Jeanne is a dream to work with - I highly recommend her! -

Gloria Sent on 01/19/2022Curly girls rejoice--Judy is your girl!
I have naturally textured, curly hair and it was important to me to wear it curly on my wedding day to feel like myself. Judy and I discussed this in our first interaction and she completely understood the assignment. I've had my hair styled for many formal events (to varying degrees of success) but Judy completely knocked it out of the park. Both at my hair trial and day-of she worked to create the best possible version of my curls, while still keeping the "me" feeling intact and battling Virginia humidy! Her and her assistant, Vanda, were joys to have around while we all got ready. They expertly did hair for 3 bridesmaids and 2 moms, well in time for pictures. On a personal note, Judy+team are uniquely kind people. I felt completely at ease around them, and they brought so much fun to the day. If you're on the fence, let this be your sign to book Judy! -

J Sent on 06/07/2019Fantastic looks and service
Judy was great from the hair/makeup trial to the actual day of the wedding. During my trial, she listened to what I was interested in, took feedback, and worked with me to nail exactly what I was going for. Then, on the wedding day, my hair and makeup came out even better than expected.
Her team was kind, relaxed, and professional from set up to finish on the day of the wedding. Leading up to the wedding day, Judy sent a questionnaire to clarify who was getting what done, and to plan a timeline for the day. She and her team arrived on site with plenty of time to set up. Her lead stylist, Vanda, was also a gem to work with. Her team did hair and makeup for myself along with 5 bridesmaids, my mother, and mother-in-law. They were organized, and every single person loved their finished looks. As the bride, I did not feel rushed or stressed at all, and it was clear that Judy and her team all had high quality standards they hold themselves to. I’m so happy with our looks in the photos, and would highly recommend her to every bride in the area. -

Holly Sent on 01/31/2019We love Judy and co.!
Judy and her team were wonderful! They arrived on time and jumped right into organized action. Before the big day, Judy set up a schedule to ensure every girl knew of her time slot for hair and make-up, making it easy and smooth! I was back and forth with what I wanted for my hair - a "game time" decision. Judy made my dream of the 'party ponytail' a reality! I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup. Vanda, the makeup artist, made me feel like a celebrity and did a fun and fresh look. Overall, this team was prepared, relaxed and ready to go! Judy made me and my girls feel calm and beautiful on a high energy day. -

Annie Sent on 11/01/2018Judy and Vanda are Amazing
Judy and Vanda were a dream to work with. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with getting my hair and makeup done for my wedding. Judy and Vanda came to my Airbnb the day of for a few hours before we packed up and headed to the venue. There was a small charge for that but it made the experience more fun, getting ready at the venue. Both women are so talented and truly know what they’re doing. I wish I could have Judy do my hair and makeup everyday! -

Gabby O. Sent on 11/02/2018Judy made me feel drop-dead gorgeous on my wedding day!
If you're getting married in the Charlottesville area, book Judy Hayward! She is the sweetest and most talented hair and make-up artist, and made me and my bridesmaids feel beyond stunning for my wedding this fall. Judy came all the way down to DC -- a 2.5 hour drive -- to do my hair/makeup trial months before the wedding, carefully listening to every detail I wanted and talking me through the whole process. When I decided to change hairstyles a week before my big day, she didn't complain at all and constructed a beautiful updo on the day-of. Vanda, her assistant, handled all of our makeup and did a wonderful job making it look natural. They were so efficient, too! Got 6 bridesmaids and me all done up in less than 3 hours, and it didn't feel rushed at all. I can't recommend On Location bridal enough! -

Kat Sent on 09/25/2018Judy was fantastic and I am so happy to have had her style my hair for my wedding day! We had a laugh over how disobedient my hair was being at the trial, it took a few goes but we got there and she was SO patient with me! On the day, Judy was co-operative, attentive and so much fun. She styled my Mum who looked stunning, my Maid of Honor who's hair went from frizz to hair model worthy, and mine was just what I had in mind when I pictured my bridal hairdo. Judy is a lovely lady, and a wonderful hair stylist and I highly recommend her for your big day. -
