Pretty

Julianne is awesome! She’s done my makeup for our engagement photos, wedding photos and my professional head shots for work. She is SO good at what she does. She’s very professional, friendly and easy to work with. I know nothing about makeup, so when I saw myself all made up, I was so impressed with the transformation.
Don’t hesitate to hire Julianne, she’s the best!

Julianne and her crew are the best! I’ve worked with her twice now — one for my brother’s wedding, and then again for my own wedding. I did try another vendor for my wedding makeup, but that trial just solidifed my reason for picking Julianne. Her makeup makes you look flawless, which is what I wanted because I normally don’t wear makeup. More importantly (to me), it doesn’t feel like you are wearing makeup and it lasts all day and night. She also partners with a woman, Justine, who can do any hairstyle you want, and it will stay put while you dance your booty off on the dance floor. I Would recommend Julianne and her crew to anyone wanting to show their natural beauty.

Julianne did a beautiful job on my wedding makeup. To begin, she sent an informational email to address some of the common questions people have when they are getting their makeup done and airbrushing FAQs. She also sent a questionnaire about my daily makeup routine and makeup preferences, etc and explained how the info would help her determine what look I was going for. I found all of this really helpful because I like to know what to expect. During the makeup trial (which is required for brides), Julianne was really patient and asked clarification questions to make sure I liked what she was doing. On the day of the wedding, Julianne arrived at the site 15 min early and was incredibly efficient. Everything was done in probably under 45 min, but it was not at all rushed. She already knew what I was looking for from the trial and did an excellent job with my makeup on the actual day. I received many compliments from guests and my husband was really happy with her work. The makeup also lasted all day. I didn’t have to touch-​up once. I highly recommend Julianne!

Em so happy with Julianne she helped me so much in choosing some makeups… Iam Gona visit her soon and give her some business… she sounds so friendly, nicely and responds as soon as she is free… Thank you so much Julianne… God bless you…

Justina did hair for my mom, sister and me for my wedding. We loved her work and got compliments on our hair all night! Justina was very sweet, enthusiastic and very patient as we changed our minds or wanted something a little different. I was a little worried because during my hair trial (which is definitely a worthwhile investment), I felt that my hair was a little too formal and I didn’t recognize myself. After I told Justina, she loosened it up and changed it a bit, which felt more like me. When I told her I was heading to my bridal shower, she then gave me a new hair style which ended up being my favorite. She did my final wedding day hair based on that hairstyle and I was really happy with it! My sister and mom also looked beautiful — thanks Justina!

I am SO happy that I found Julianne!
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!

I am so glad that I decided to book Julianne to do my hair and make-​up for my engagement shoot. I’ve never felt prettier and more confident, and the pictures turned out great! She was such a pleasure to work with and really listened to my vision for the day and the look I was going for — she aims to please!
My make-​up looked natural — it brought out my favorite features and hid those that needed hiding. She knew just what I needed to look the best in photos. The airbrushed makeup made my skin look flawless. I was so happy with it.
To top it off, she did something genius to my hair. The photo shoot was at the windy and humid Berkeley Marina, and my hair kept looking better the messier it got.
I look forward to working with her again for the wedding!

Julianne did makeup for my mom and me for my wedding. She did an amazing job with our airbrushed face makeup, and she did a brilliant job covering a large dark panther tattoo on the back of my shoulder. As Christine Y. mentioned in her review, Julianne made me look like a «dressed up and better version of myself.» We did a trial run a few months before the wedding, so I was confident I chose the right makeup artist. The makeup looked great at the wedding, and stayed throughout the day and evening, despite it being a 90 degree day (a July wedding in Walnut Creek)! The tattoo coverup stayed on all evening as well. No one knew it was there, and the wedding pictures have turned out great.
Julianne brought her colleague Justina to style the hair of my mom and me. Our hair turned out wonderful as well!

Just had my makeup trial for my wedding. Julianne is amazing. She is super pleasant and fun, and very talented. She let me try many colors of lipstick to find the right one. VERY excited to hire her for the big day :)

I think I told Julianne «thank you» about 50 times the day of my wedding for making me look so beautiful. She and one of the hairstylists from her team showed up at my venue and made me and my 2 bridesmaids look stunning. I don’t wear a lot of makeup and so I was worried about looking mask-​like, but she just made me look like a dressed up and better version of myself. After she had finished me and the bridesmaids, my Mom loved it so much, that she asked Julianne if she would mind fitting her in last minute and do her makeup as well!
Through it all, Julianne was so friendly and bubbly — she just fit in as one of the girls in our dressing room. She was on time and had set up the whole schedule for us ahead of time so we knew who was getting done at what time, etc. So helpful since many of our friends were helping set up the wedding as well and the girls knew when they needed to «turn into a pumpkin» and come back into the dressing room to get ready.
I will absolutely recommend Julianne to all of my friends when they get married!

I loved working with Julianne! She did my makeup for our Bay Area wedding in August. Everything about working with her was easy.
I decided to get my makeup done at the last minute, and she was flexible and penciled me in just a month before my wedding. She was very thorough with her preparation (you fill out a detailed questionnaire and provide pictures to her ahead of time). Going for the trial was fun because her house has the most incredible panoramic view I saw our entire time in the Bay Area!
After having the makeup trial, I decided I preferred a more natural look (no fault of hers, I just didn’t realize it until I had the trial and realized that as fun as false eyelashes and stuff are, they didn’t make me feel like «me»), so the day of the wedding I asked Julianne to do a completely different look for me and she came through beautifully! I loved the way the makeup came out and I NEVER wear makeup so that’s saying a lot! It was very natural looking, just what I wanted. It looked perfect in photos too. The morning of felt relaxed because she comes to you, so I got all my makeup done in my hotel room. Julianne provides you with a cute little touch up kit in case you want to reapply that day (but I didn’t need to touch up anything).
Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend Prettyologie. Oh, Julianne is extremely nice and friendly too (and also gave us great recommendations for restaurants to try in Berkeley!). Thanks Julianne!

I am so happy I found Julianne to do my makeup for my wedding day. She was a joy to spend time with, and really calmed my nerves before the ceremony. She was far more organized than me in the months leading up to my wedding, and really professional in every way. And her rates are very reasonable for the quality that you get.
I adored the makeup she did for me. Perfectly natural, and it lasted ALL night. I loved the makeup she did for my wedding party too. My mother, who was so hesitant to have someone else do her makeup, was surprisingly thrilled with what Julianne did — which makes me happy!
Julianne is fantastic to work with. I totally trusted her 100% and she delivered 110%.
Thank you for being such an AMAZING part of my wedding day Julianne!

Wonderful! Accommodating! Reliable! Talented! Gentle! Considerate!
Julianne did Make-​Up application on myself, 3 bridesmaids, and 2 family members for my outdoor wedding in march 2013. All 6 of us were SO HAPPY with her work and she made us all look so beautiful.
I planned a wedding out of state and Julianne was so quick to respond to all of my e-​mails, texts, phone calls, etc. At our make up trial she took the time to really understand my expectations and she followed them exactly! She uses both foundation application and airbrush (flawless!) and provides brides with touch up kits for their wedding day.
She can do anything and everything from Au natural to full on glamor with 100% client satisfaction!!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Julianne! I don’t even know where to begin.
I live in Austin and traveled to SF in July 2012 to have my wedding. I was really nervous about choosing a makeup artist because I wasn’t there to meet her in person and try her out well beforehand. Then… we called Julianne. Instantly we felt very relieved! We knew just from talking to her on the phone that she was a truly great find. She was always so prompt in responding to my emails/​phone calls and was never frustrated or rude in the slightest! (And I’m sure I must have driven her, at least, slightly crazy with all of my questions and concerns and change of plans.) She let me send her ideas and helped by giving me her professional input on several different occasions. She was extremely professional all the way through.
When I finally got to meet her in person, I felt like I had known her for years! She’s one of those people that you are just instantly drawn to. She has a magnetic personality. She did my makeup for my engagement pictures and for my wedding day and I was in total awe. I have never felt so beautiful – glamorous, even! She calmed my nerves and was the perfect person to talk to leading up to the wedding. My makeup was flawless. It lasted all day and I have received nonstop compliments – even up to this day!
Julianne is really something special. REALLY. I’m so grateful that she was there with me on such a special day!
You will not be making a mistake if you choose to go with Pretty by Julianne! SHE’S WORTH EVERY PENNY!

11.11.12 Second time using Pretty by Julianne!
Although this time I wasn’t satisfied…
I was downright amazed!
For my special day, everything went perfectly with Julianne’s team.
They arrived on time & with their excellent skill set they were able to complete hair and makeup for 3 bridesmaids, a nervous bride & her 2 sisters, 3 aunts, 4 cousins, both moms, and 3 friends in just a few hours!!! They even threw in light makeup & curls for 2 flower girls. Then touch ups for right before the ceremony!
Like I said, amazzzzzzzing!
Another great point, top notch quality for an affordable packaged price!
High quality makeup products!
Innovating machines that sprayed foundation on my face that lasted allllllll night til the midnight after party!
Thank you again for the hard work your team made,
we appreciate you girls! I will need you for another event in Feb, I will email you soon!

Julianne did my and my sister/​maid of honor’s makeup on my wedding day, and having seen her work on professional shoots and worked with her before, I had total confidence in her doing our makeup for the most photographed day of my life. She helped me in advance to work out a makeup/​hair schedule for myself and my bridesmaids, arrived in the morning with a case-​load of makeup and tools, and knew exactly what colors and look to work toward, making myself and my MOH comfortable since we know next to nothing about makeup. She also was right behind me after the outdoor ceremony and before the reception to do minor touch-​ups. What a relief!
My sister and I both received so many compliments about how beautiful we looked, and I was amazed just seeing my MOH/​sister in such natural looking yet gorgeous makeup. My sister looked stunning, and I felt completely like myself even in unnaturally-​long fake lashes. Thanks so much for making the big day so easy, Julianne!

I am so glad that I went with Julianne for my makeup on my wedding day! When I did my makeup trial, I knew instantly that I made a good choice– she quickly put me at ease with her smile and answered all my questions with unique interest. Julianne uses quality makeup and she’s sensitive to the type of makeup you want. I normally don’t put on a lot of make up and Julianne made me look very natural.
Julianne is very detailed and she puts a lot of pride in her work. On the day of, after finishing a layer of eyeshadow, she looked at me and shook her head and said, «Hrm, I’m not happy with it, I want to redo it» and she redid it twice until she was satisfied. She does such quality work!
The makeup on the day of, held up very well– with tears and everything. Julianne even provided my bridesmaids and I with cute touch-​up kits. Thanks for making us look gorgeous! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist.

I had a shoot this last Saturday and I had the honor of meeting Julianne for the first time.
She. Is. Wonderful.
Wonderful in regards to her bedside manner (why do I dislike that expression so much?) as well as her INCREDIBLE TALENT. She is a true artist and knows how to accentuate and emphasize your best features and perhaps play down what is, well, better left «played down».
If you’re the type of person who is nosey and wants to know everything about what she is doing and about the product she is using, she will gladly give you the full run down but she never overwhelms, just informs. I would definitely recommend her for your MUA needs.

I’ve worked with Julianne a couple of weeks ago on a photoshoot. Being a model, I’ve worked with many make up artists so please believe me when I say Julianne is fantastic. She is very professional and did a lovely job. I didn’t break out after wards which is always a plus because I have very sensitive skin. I am looking forward to working with her again.

What else can I say except that I’m SO THANKFUL that I hired Julianne for my big day! THANK YOU THANK YOU so much! I absolutely loved my makeup!!! It lasted all day — and I had an outdoor wedding for both ceremony and reception. I’ll definitely share pics once I get the proofs from my photographer!
Highly Recommended! She will not disappoint and will definitely WOW you with her results!
