November 7, 2022Unbelievably talented!!!
Julia is a miracle worker! I booked a couple hours in advance, she answered immediately, she asked what look I was going for and absolutely nailed it. Not only did she make me look like a natural bombshell for the evening, she gave me pointers and tips on how to recreate what she was doing and followed up by sending me photos of how she applied my makeup step by step so I could do it myself. She has a great personality and went above and beyond my expectations!

April 17, 2019Awesome
They were awesome and worked well with everyone. They were prompt and on time and very pleasant to work with. We had a lot of men in our group that were not very excited about hair and makeup and they did a great job engaging them.
I would recommend as well as use again for future events

May 13, 2018Loved my makeup by Jalia!
I'm new to the area and using Gigsalad. I chose Jalia because I liked her website and photos of her work. She also looked professional and easy to work with. From the time I made contact to the end Jalia was very professional. She was also prompt and made sure I was comfortable during the whole process. My makeup looked amazing. I'm not sure what lashes she used on me but I liked how they didn't look like fake eyelashes. Also, Julia's assistant Louella did some magic to my hair that is hard to hold curls. It still looks great after sleeping all night.
Overall, this was a great experience and I highly recommend Jalia.
