Wedding Makeup and Hair Stylist

Giulia Papke and her team were absolutely phenomenal! They did an amazing job with makeup and hair for the girls on our wedding day. Everything turned out perfect—the hair and makeup looked exactly like the inspiration photos I shared with her. Giulia was incredibly helpful throughout the day and such a joy to chat with. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking for exceptional hair and makeup services!

Left me feeling beautiful in my own skin!

Giulia is incredible! She arrived early, was extremely communicative and was very friendly and kind. She engaged in conversation and helped me decide on a look for the big day. I She put the vision together! Having a wedding abroad, I was nervous things might get lost in translation, but NOT at all, Giulia is fluent in English, Spanish and of course Italian! I wish I could hire her again. She is absolutely the best! Thank you Giulia!

Giulia did an amazing job

Giulia did an amazing job for my destination wedding, she was very responsive and helped me pick the best makeup for my skin tone. She sent out day before prep instructions so I knew exactly what I needed to do the night before. She was very flexible when it came to the day of and we lost power at the venue, she went above and beyond to drive me to a local hair salon to curl my hair and did my makeup with no power at the Villa with just natural light. My hair is thin and struggles to hold a curl but she was able to make it so it lasted the entire day. I can't thank you enough Giulia for making me feel so beautiful.

Forte Sorgnano Wedding

I booked Giulia to do my bridal hair & makeup for my Wedding in Umbria, along with my mothers, mothers in laws & my aunts hair & makeup! Giulia travelled quite the distance to provide us her service and was incredibly kind! Giulia was prepared, so knowledgeable and so, so sweet! She truly made the morning of my wedding feel so relaxing. I absolutely loved my makeup and my hair, I felt so beautiful on the day that mattered the most! We didn't give Giulia all that much direction, we let her be creative and do what she thought would look best and she absolutely nailed it! This was the first and only time the lovely ladies in my life had ever had their hair and makeup done. Everyone was so happy with the results! Giulia is an amazing person inside & out! If I were to do it all over again, Giulia would absolutely be the one I'd contact!

Thank you for making my wedding day just that little bit more magical ♥️

Amazing experience!

From day 1 of contact Giulia was very responsive, kind and always happy to offer more information to make me feel comfortable about my choice.

She listens to all your questions and requests and repeats them back to you to make sure you’re both in understanding of your hair and makeup requests.

On the day of my wedding although my head was running through a million things, she made the atmosphere incredibly relaxing and I couldn’t be more grateful to have had her and my HMUA!
