On Location Bridal by Judy Hayward

ll night too!

to all of my crazy ideas and made it even BETTER than I could have imagined! Definitely recommending her to friends :)

s-free she made my experience. As a person who is also in the service industry, I can only hope my clients receive half the service that Judy gave to me; this is the highest compliment that I could possibly give. I did a hair and makeup trial, which was so much fun and helped to finalize some of the touches that I wanted to have the day of. It lasted about 3 hours, and we had the opportunity to talk through the look I was hoping to achieve as well as give it a try to variations to see if I liked something different a bit better. On the day of, my finished touches were so beyond what I could have expected. As an older bride (late 30s), I had a lot of anxiety about my appearance and hoped to look a bit like my younger self (but also appropriate!). I really felt like Judy helped me to look SO beautiful, exactly as I had always hoped to look on my wedding day. I also had my bridesmaids and mother get their hair and makeup done (with the help of Judy's assistant Vanda), and we all looked spectacular. They arrived on site, and were so well organized. They built in additional time in case we wanted to add additional services (a couple of my bridesmaids got spray on makeup last minute), and still finished well within our budgeted time without sacrificing ANY quality. I just cannot say enough about my experience with Judy. I am so thoroughly pleased, and I would hire her again a million times over (and probably will for upcoming weddings of family members). I absolutely loved working with her. Thank you, Judy, so so much!!!!!!!

e navigated through the uncharted waters of planning a wedding during a global pandemic. Ultimately, we rescheduled our celebration for June 2021 and had a large bridal party of 11 bridesmaids who all required hair and makeup. Judy and her team were incredibly efficient and did an amazing job on everyone’s hair and makeup. Everyone was very pleased with their glam for the big day and everyone’s lasted throughout the night! Judy and her team kept everyone’s looks natural while still looking amazing in photos. I would absolutely recommend Judy and her team for your big day - especially if you have a larger bridal party!

er professional and artistic insight to make you into a bridal vision. All leading up to the big day she was supportive and excited. On the day of the wedding she was punctual, professional, and flexible. She and her team stayed true to our getting ready timeline which allowed us to get all of the photos done early so the bridesmaids could enjoy cocktail hour! She offered two different price options (full bridal and express styles) which my bridesmaids who were looking for a less expensive option/who were skilled at curling their own hair really appreciated. Everyone’s hair looked fabulous all night long.

any stress at all. Judy immediately understood my style, enhanced what I was envisioning for myself, and I have never felt more beautiful. I can't thank Judy enough and can't imagine the day without her and her team!

about hair and makeup and social-distancing and Judy was a pro at everything! She came up with hair designs on the fly for my mom and aunt's long thick hair and did my updo so perfectly (we were able to add flowers from the florist later too!). She also did my makeup and it looked great (I don't usually wear much makeup either) and not at all cakey or unnatural (my red cheeks still showed through which I loved). But beyond this, Judy is a pleasure to work with and chat to which is important when you're spending a lot of the day with her! We loved getting to know her and my mom and aunt continue to rave about how kind and fun she was (and would love to hire her for everything if only they lived closer!

g to fit me in on a Sunday in early Phase 2 of Virginia for COVID. Judy and I were able to fine tune what I wanted to look like on the big day, so I didn't need to worry about it the day-of. My bridesmaids got express hair done by Judy and express makeup done by Vanda. They did an excellent and efficient job prepping us for the big day.

udy worked with me prior to figure out a look that I loved that held up all night despite the heat! Her team also did an amazing job with the bridal party - they were very flexible and everyone loved their results! The makeup was also perfect and highlighted everyone's features without being overdone. They made getting ready such a pleasant and fun experience and I would highly recommend Judy to anyone for a great haircut or wedding hair and makeup!

e your day is exactly what you would want it to be! I went in and had no idea how I wanted my hair and make up to look. She was able to guide me through the process and was very patient with my indecisiveness! She is amazing!

to create and have it stay looking loose without falling down, but she pulled it off perfectly! Very thankful for the fantastic work she did.

quickly responded to all emails. She drove several hours to do the trial hair and makeup and really LISTENED to what my daughter wanted. On the morning of the wedding, Judy and her team arrived and immediately set up and got organized. We had 20 people getting hair and/or makeup done including bride, wedding party, moms, grandmas, flower girls and the officiant. They handled it beautifully! Again, they were always listening and willing to make adjustments as needed. My daughter looked stunning!!! Guests commented that she was the most beautiful bride they had ever seen. Judy was a big part of that!

rning. My (bride) hair trial with Judy months earlier put me at ease immediately - I was so pleased with how much she listened to me and found the best way to work with my weirdly fine and difficult hair. My makeup was also flawless - everything pops in the photos! In addition to excellent artistry, Judy and Vanda also have fantastic personalities - they really made the morning a lot of fun and even graciously posed for a last-minute getting-ready selfie with us all. Don't hesitate to book your wedding needs with Judy!!

to respond. highly recommend!

ctly what I was going for. Then, on the wedding day, my hair and makeup came out even better than expected. Her team was kind, relaxed, and professional from set up to finish on the day of the wedding. Leading up to the wedding day, Judy sent a questionnaire to clarify who was getting what done, and to plan a timeline for the day. She and her team arrived on site with plenty of time to set up. Her lead stylist, Vanda, was also a gem to work with. Her team did hair and makeup for myself along with 5 bridesmaids, my mother, and mother-in-law. They were organized, and every single person loved their finished looks. As the bride, I did not feel rushed or stressed at all, and it was clear that Judy and her team all had high quality standards they hold themselves to. I’m so happy with our looks in the photos, and would highly recommend her to every bride in the area.

ll come together. The one thing I didn't have to worry about was how good my hair & makeup would look. When it comes to those things Judy exudes confidence that’s contagious. I started to feel calmer and calmer just taking in the moment of the occasion while under her care. I sat in that chair and my excitement overtook my anxiety. I'm so thankful I went with Judy, she has helped many many brides feel confident as they walk down the aisle, and truly enjoy one of the most joyous days of their lives. I would definitely recommend her!

for hair and make-up, making it easy and smooth! I was back and forth with what I wanted for my hair - a "game time" decision. Judy made my dream of the 'party ponytail' a reality! I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup. Vanda, the makeup artist, made me feel like a celebrity and did a fun and fresh look. Overall, this team was prepared, relaxed and ready to go! Judy made me and my girls feel calm and beautiful on a high energy day.

and skilled at her job and worked hard to get the look each of us wanted. She also did a great job brainstorming and talking through ideas with those who weren't sure of what they wanted. Everyone was incredibly happy with their look. As the bride, I was beyond thrilled and loved working with Judy from the day of our trial to the day of my wedding. Judy is fun, reliable, professional and I highly recommend her!

f the wedding process. When we were having difficulty with schedules, she came to my condo in DC all the way from Charlottesville for the hair/makeup trial. During the trial, I felt in safe hands with Judy. She took her time and tried several different hair styles to make sure that we were both confident in our choices. At the wedding itself, Judy, Vanda, and the team were on-time, professional, and produced amazing results. Each one of my bridesmaids and attendants (who aren't always the easiest to please) were so happy with her hair and makeup. It was such a relief to me to not have to worry about a bridesmaid not being happy! With Judy, you don't have to worry about only the bridesmaids/attendants who are serviced by Judy getting top-notch talent. Vanda and the rest of Judy's team did just as superb work!

stunning for my wedding this fall. Judy came all the way down to DC -- a 2.5 hour drive -- to do my hair/makeup trial months before the wedding, carefully listening to every detail I wanted and talking me through the whole process. When I decided to change hairstyles a week before my big day, she didn't complain at all and constructed a beautiful updo on the day-of. Vanda, her assistant, handled all of our makeup and did a wonderful job making it look natural. They were so efficient, too! Got 6 bridesmaids and me all done up in less than 3 hours, and it didn't feel rushed at all. I can't recommend On Location bridal enough!

y of for a few hours before we packed up and headed to the venue. There was a small charge for that but it made the experience more fun, getting ready at the venue. Both women are so talented and truly know what they're doing. My bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law all loved how their day of looks came out. I wish I could have Judy do my hair and makeup everyday!

cute late at night, even though the humidity had wreaked havoc on it. My bridesmaids all looked totally adorable and it was great that they didn't have to bring in photos for inspiration, Judy and Vanda just got to work giving each girl a unique up-do that somehow totally matched their own style. Vanda was also super sweet with my mother-in-law who is rather picky. She initially just wanted her hair done, but then felt so comfortable with Vanda she also had her do her makeup - high praise, believe me. Judy and Vanda were such a calming presence on my day and felt like part of the gang. I really loved having them around and would absolutely recommend them!!

ything was stress-free and enjoyable. Even when she was traveling, she was communicating with me to get all of the details finalized. It was such a pleasure working with each of them on the day of the wedding, and extra special that they met us at the venue and were able to do our hair and makeup on-site. They were extremely prompt, organized, personable, and a joy to be with for the day. Each staff member took their time with each person to meet their individual needs. Everyone was pleased with their final hair and makeup, they all looked beautiful, and I was overly satisfied with mine too. I would highly recommend Judy for any event. We could not have asked for a better fit - it was perfect and getting to know Judy through the process was incredibly rewarding.

ly one who knew and understood what we were looking for. They arrived early to set up and we had a fun and stress free experience getting ready. We never felt rushed. We looked very elegant and beautiful. Judy does an especially great job with the bride’s hair, to make her look perfect and special on her wedding day. I would highly(only) recommend their services.

Vanda) and hair (by Judy) were stunning and looked perfect even after hours of dancing! Wish I could give 6 stars!

through a hot, outdoor summer wedding full of dancing! She is so kind and helpful and was great at responding to my 101 emails quickly! Working with Judy was a breeze and I felt so confident in my choice.

ey did hair and makeup for me, six bridesmaids, my mother and grandmother- every person turned out so beautifully and everyone’s final look was different- Judy and Vanda excentuated the right aspects of each individual’s style and natural beauty! They were fun and light spirited, easy to get along with and enjoyable to have with us on my wedding day as well as very organized- allowing everything to go smoothly from start to finish! Will certainly be using them again for any future events that require hair and make up- just LOVE them!!!

she reached into my mind and pulled out the exact image I wanted to achieve. I did a trial with her beforehand, and everything was so perfect during the trial that I felt no stress whatsoever going into the actual wedding day, knowing that Judy would make me look my best! I can't recommend her enough, by the time we were done getting ready she was a member of our family! She was a joy to be around as I got ready for my big day. Thanks Judy!!!

at would look good with my dress. Judy gave me a classic, elegant look that absolutely floored my husband. All my bridesmaids loved their hairstyles as well! Some chose to have their hair up, and others down. It amazed me and how elegant they all looked! Also, Vanda, the lead makeup artist, did an AWESOME job on our makeup. She chose a gorgeous lip color for me and gave me a classic, not overdone look. It's almost like our faces were her canvas and she just knew exactly what to do! Most importantly, they are so much fun to chat with, and make it a stress free, fun time with your closest friends and family. Thank you ladies for making us look so beautiful. It was an experience I will never forget and fondly cherish.

had their hair/makeup done by Judy and her Assistant Vanda. While the cost of service was not cheap it was well worth it. They were fun the day of and made the experience great for everyone. We loved the airbrush makeup so much. Highly recommend.

during the planning process. Judy provided enough staff to get everyone ready in a timely manner. They did an excellent job on hair and makeup. They made it a stress free process and they were a joy to be around. I highly recommend On Location Bridal.

hs before the wedding and Judy did my hair and makeup trial. I knew I was in good hands the entire process and was so happy with my choice in hiring her! She also was very accommodating the day before and did my hair and makeup before my bridesmaids luncheon/ rehearsal. She is so kind and fun to be around too, which you definitely want when you're spending the majority of your day getting ready with someone. I was so happy with the "express styles" that my bridesmaids got done and was also so impressed with how quickly all 12 (yes, 12 bridesmaids) were done! I highly recommend Judy! I am also so glad to have found a wonderful hairstylist (color and cut) in Charlottesville too!

y hair and make up a few months back. During this she really took the time to get to know me and my style. She did a great job that day and then remembered perfectly what I wanted on the actual day of the wedding. I would highly recommend Judy and her team!!!

e day much more fun and easy. Judy was the best addition to the day besides my groom of course! She truly has my highest recommendation and it was an honor to have her at my special day.

the day of and got me, my mom and mother in laws makeup done in a timely manner. My mom and mother in law looked amazing! Just enough to look stunning, but not over done. My make up didn't turn out exactly like the picture I had and I had my doubts, but I wil say that once I saw myself in pictures it looked absolutely amazing! The airbrushing was perfect for my fair skin tone and the eye makeup was on point. Just trust in her! The makeup looks like a lot but is stunning in pictures. Everyone complimented on it! Would definitely recommend!
