Julia is a miracle worker! I booked a couple hours in advance, she answered immediately, she asked what look I was going for and absolutely nailed it. Not only did she make me look like a natural bombshell for the evening, she gave me pointers and tips on how to recreate what she was doing and followed up by sending me photos of how she applied my makeup step by step so I could do it myself. She has a great personality and went above and beyond my expectations!

You are so very welcome! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day.

They were awesome and worked well with everyone. They were prompt and on time and very pleasant to work with. We had a lot of men in our group that were not very excited about hair and makeup and they did a great job engaging them.
I would recommend as well as use again for future events

Thank you so much for this amazing review! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have a future need.

I'm new to the area and using Gigsalad. I chose Jalia because I liked her website and photos of her work. She also looked professional and easy to work with. From the time I made contact to the end Jalia was very professional. She was also prompt and made sure I was comfortable during the whole process. My makeup looked amazing. I'm not sure what lashes she used on me but I liked how they didn't look like fake eyelashes. Also, Julia's assistant Louella did some magic to my hair that is hard to hold curls. It still looks great after sleeping all night.
Overall, this was a great experience and I highly recommend Jalia.

It was my pleasure to be of service to Akosha. My goal is to ensure my clients are relaxed during their makeup application. The pictures were also gorgeous, glad I was able to be a part of your day! Looking forward to being of service in the bear future.

Jalia was a pleasure to work with - my company hired her to do some make-up for a video shoot and she was professional yet personable and interacted really well with our clients.

About
Want to know what purpose plus passion looks like? When you look at Jalia Pettis, you are staring it in the face! Jalia took a leap of faith and left the comfort of Corporate America to follow her purpose in becoming an entrepreneur over ten years ago; little did she realize what all that would entail. In 2008, she began her journey in the beauty industry after becoming frustrated with not being able to find hairstylists and makeup artists who were comfortable working on men and women of color. Through much trial & error, she sought out mentorship and eventually began working onset for various photoshoots. Jalia found joy in making others look and feel their best. In 2012 she relocated from South Carolina to Arizona which catapulted her beauty career. In 2015 she became a Beacon Award Winner and two-years later was named NAHA 2017 Finalist for Makeup Artist of the Year, the second African-American woman to be named in the category (each accomplishment through the Professional Beauty Association). In 2020, she was named an International Beauty Industry Award Winner and the 2022 NAHA Makeup Artist of the Year Winner. For the past few years, Jalia has embarked upon educating both clientele and colleagues within the beauty industry throughout the US and has plans to enter the international market place to share her experiences. As the Owner of 3Jay Productions, she also provides development and branding services along with cultural awareness training to individuals through mid-size businesses across varying industries.
