About Julie
My passion is to make people feel beautiful and confident. I have always strived to create looks that make my clients feel like they just stepped off the red carpet. Whether it's your wedding day or a special event, my goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for you. I understand that each person has their own unique preferences and vision, and I am dedicated to learning and executing your perfect look.
From a young age, I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in the beauty industry. I have been a licensed cosmetologist for over 30 years, and in 2008, I opened my first hair and makeup business called Imagine Three in Ann Arbor, MI. However, the story of how I ended up in Key West is a bit more romantic. After falling in love, my partner and I visited Key West for a vacation. We fell in love with the place and decided to plan our wedding there in 2007. Upon returning again and again, we knew that Key West was where we wanted to be, and I brought my dreams to this beautiful island.
In addition to my on-site services, you can also find me at the Pier House Spa. I specialize in organic hair color, razor cutting, and the perfect blow dry. If you or your guests need touch-ups before the big wedding day or are looking for the perfect blow dry, please don't hesitate to reach out to the Pier House Spa.

Want to know a little bit more about me and my business in Key West. Take a listen to my interview with Mark Baratto from Backyards of Key West Podcast.
Getting Glam & Talking Hair & Makeup with Julie Hill Backyards of Key West Podcast
“This girl is amazing! I hired her to do the hair and makeup for our wedding party in Key West on May 8th. Her work was above and beyond what I expected! And she has a personality to match! Being from Michigan, we were concerned with our hair and makeup surviving in the Key West humidity. We should not have been concerned in the slightest. Despite my best attempts to kerfluffle my hair on the dance floor, it remained firmly in place, and beautiful throughout our post-reception bar crawl. I was extremely impressed at Julie’s work on my mom’s hair and makeup. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my mom look more beautiful. Julie even made sure to capture the moment by taking a picture of my mom and mother in law - something that I have since, unbeknownst to her, downloaded and displayed on my office desk. Thank you Julie for all of your hard work and mad skillz, you made our wedding just that much more perfect!”
Testimonials
“Julie Hill is the absolute BEST hair and make-up person you could possibly have for your wedding day. Everyone at our wedding commented on how beautiful I looked (Thank you Julie!!). She is so talented and can make you look and feel the most beautiful that you ever have. I had a very large bridal party and she was so organized with her time and helped me navigate the best process for the beginning of the day. Words do not do justice to how incredible, friendly, talented, organized, punctual, fun, and professional she is. I would recommend her 10/10 times! She is such an asset on your wedding day and you will not regret it!”
“Julie was incredibly time efficient, kept the mood light and calm, and my hair was spectacular! I told Julie early on that I wanted my hair to be somewhat down (vs. slicked back) but I needed it to hold up all day/night so I’d still look great after nearly 10 hours. She took this vague request and came up with a beautiful hair style that my friends and family still rave about when they see photos. Julie’s working style is friendly but to the point, which I really appreciated as a busy bride. She takes care of every detail, including making sure my hair color perfectly matched the extensions I wanted to use on my wedding day. I’m so glad I was able to book Julie for my wedding and I’d recommend her to anyone who needs beautiful styling on their big day (or any day really)!”
“I was so nervous about hiring a stylist in another state without being able to do a trial - especially being a curly haired gal. I picked Julie for her curly hair expertise and I am so glad I did! Julie was professional, but personable and friendly. She traveled to us - so convenient. She did my mom’s hair and my (bride) hair and makeup. My mom was so happy with her hair - and she’s picky! I was blown away with my hair and makeup! I showed her pictures of what I wanted and she worked her complete magic and talent. I was so impressed with how beautiful and confident I felt during my wedding day - and it was all thanks to Julie. Thank you so much!”
