Julie McGuire – British Award-Winning Bridal Hair & Makeup in Edinburgh

Your wedding day should feel effortless, beautiful, and totally you—and that’s exactly how I want you to feel in the chair with me. I love creating natural, relaxed bridal hair and makeup that lasts all day, looks amazing in photos, and still feels like you.

I’ve been in the industry for over 30 years and have worked with Leonardo DiCaprio, David Beckham, Tilda Swinton, Brian Cox, and Jodie Kidd, as well as magazines like British Vogue and W Magazine. But honestly? My favourite thing is helping real brides feel their absolute best without the stress, without the heavy makeup, and without looking overdone.

At Beehive, my salon in Edinburgh, or on-location at your venue, I offer personal wedding hair and makeup for brides who want:
✨ Soft, natural makeup that enhances your features, not covers them
✨ Relaxed, chic waves or an undone-but-elegant updo
✨ A touch of vintage glamour, a boho feel, or something totally effortless
✨ Hair and makeup that stays fresh, glowy, and natural all day

I work with brides across Edinburgh, the Lothians, and Scotland, whether you’re celebrating in a cool city venue, a countryside barn, or even a Scottish castle. Wherever you’re getting married, I’ll bring a calm, down-to-earth approach so you can actually enjoy the getting-ready part—because your morning should feel as good as you look.

For relaxed, modern bridal hair and makeup in Edinburgh, get in touch—I’d love to bring your wedding look to life.

Julie McGuire is a wedding hair and makeup specialist based in Edinburgh, Lothian & Borders.
