This is a hard review to write...I want soo much to leave a good review for them! However, looking back at my wedding, when people ask me about the day, I think about how amazing everything was - AFTER the hair and makeup process was done.

Everyone was fantastic leading up to the day - communication was prompt and they were very accommodating with shifting numbers of bridesmaids needing to get their hair and makeup done, which I soo very much appreciated. I did have to reach out to them to follow up on booking a makeup and hair trial, but they were able to fit me in within a week or two of that follow up.

Now for the sad part...the team was late due to a trial booked before my wedding. They started a half hour late, and were unfortunately not able to make up the time. I was honestly pulled out of the makeup chair by my mother about 10 minutes prior to when the wedding ceremony was supposed to start - I had no dress on, and, other than my hair and makeup, I was not at ALL ready. I hadn't done photos in my dress, or done the First Look that my husband and I had hoped to do.

Everyone looked beautiful, but, as the bride, I did not feel prioritized, and it really had an impact on the day.

I'm not sure if there was a miscommunication about when the ceremony started, but neither artist asked or confirmed the timeline of the day - at least not ON the day, despite very open conversations being had around us as my makeup was being done about how late we were getting.

I know things happen that are sometimes out of our control, but I feel like more open communication on the day could have helped to salvage the day and make everyone feel special.

Here's hoping this was a once in a blue moon experience!

I hired Julia Joy Beauty Co for my wedding and I was so impressed! From the very start the communication and flexibility were both amazing, as I changed how many clients and schedules a few times. My hair and makeup trial was perfect and exactly what I had pictured. I had Nadine and Sara for my team on my wedding day and both were so lovely, kind, fun, and accommodating! I asked for a few adjustments from my trial and they did exactly what I asked. I felt so beautiful, and everyone who had the pleasure of receiving their services looked and felt the same. I would highly highly recommend their services to anyone, the best hair and makeup I have ever had done!

My wedding morning timeline was strict as our officiant had a firm finishing time in order to make it to another ceremony. With myself, 5 bridesmaids, and my mom getting ready all before noon, with no wiggle room for a late start, hair and makeup was honestly the thing I was the most stressed about, because if you start late, that could throw everything off.

Looking back, I didn't need to stress AT ALL, because Nadine and Beth both arrived perfectly early (yes, early!!) to our getting ready suite. I was so over the moon happy, it was the perfect start to such a wonderful day.

These two talented beauties were so friendly, personable, professional, and fun to have in the room with us that morning, and really helped calm my nerves and give me a seamless start to the day. I couldn't be more grateful.

Every one of my girls, my mom, and myself were all so happy with the results, and the most amazing thing was how incredibly efficient they worked. We were done miles ahead of schedule, which left us about an hour to have a bite to eat and relax before we had to get dressed and head to the ceremony.

Communication leading up to the wedding was A+, I felt taken care of the entire time by Nadine who was so sweet to try to organize a trial for me (I live 5 hours away and they are obviously very busy during the season). Ultimately I decided to trust the process and go without a trial, and I felt so comfortable doing so, I don't regret it at all. My look was exactly what I wanted, and they were both able to provide some day of suggestions and advice while doing each of our looks based on their expertise.

I would recommend this team over and over again to anyone who would listen. If you're getting married in Banff, do not hesitate, hire Julia Joy Beauty!

I absolutely loved the makeup done for my wedding! The hair was done close to how I wanted but was not as I fully expected it was still beautiful for the day. Thank you!

Great vendor. I had Candice as my hairstylist and Jax as my makeup artist. Both of them deliver what i wanted for my hair and makeup without doing a trial with them. Highly recommended these ladies

We hired Julia Joy to do airbrushing for the bride, regular makeup for the 3 bridesmaids and teeth whitening. I also did an airbrush makeup test prior.

The airbrush test was for 3 looks, but after Nadine did the first look, I knew that the look was the one. I did ask to make additional changes and she made them, with a smile! The day of the wedding, she was prompt and delivered flawless makeup. She covered up age spots and made my skin look dewy and fresh, without being shiny. And, I was sweating! Nadine is so pleasant, talented and very professional I would hire her back again.

Chelsea did the makeup on the 3 bridesmaids and she too, was so professional and very pleasant. The ladies were so pleased with their makeup, they just could not stop smiling.

It must be said that Julia Joy knows how to hire the most talented and professional staff around and that includes the teeth whitener, too. She arrived the morning prior to the wedding and left with both the groom and I having the brightest smiles we had in years.

We had two ladies come to our condo for hair and makeup. Not only were they the sweetest human beings, they were true artists in their craft. We laughed and had great conversation with them and finished looking like goddess. Every single one of my bridesmaids and myself loved our hair and makeup. The company was also a breeze to communicate with leading up to the wedding. Highly recommend!

They did an amazing job with hair and make up, we all loved how we looked and the pictures turned out great

Myself and all my bridesmaids were so impressed with our hair and makeup on my wedding day! Julia was our makeup artist and she did a phenomenal job on our requested makeup looks. Sara was our hairstylist and she also did an amazing job on every bridesmaid’s requested hair style. I did not do a hair or makeup trial prior to the wedding but Julia and Sara were able to give me the wedding hair and makeup look I dreamed of having on my wedding day! Communicating with Julia Joy Beauty Co prior to the wedding was easy and responses were always fast. They were so kind and lovely throughout the whole process. Highly recommend 😊

I loved working with Julia joy co! Responded fast to my emails. They were quick and precise with all the girls hair and makeup!
