TESTIMONIALS
I have worked with Julie Ruckman on several on location editorial fashion shoots and she is one of my favorite hair stylists. She is calm and easy to work with- even in the face of splashing through mud or having to carry gear up a hill in 90 degree weather. She takes direction well and can interpret my often nonsense descriptions of hair into real styles. She never loses her creativity and imparts my ideas with new life and understands how hair can enhance an overall look without necessarily being the center of attention.

I would highly recommend Julie Ruckman to any professional organization. She is a fantastic hair stylist that I have collaborated with on a number of creative projects, including a fashion show, photo shoot, hair styling class and theater production. While working on each of these diverse projects, Julie has proven to excel in her craft and has brought a new level of creativity to the overall aesthetic of the looks. She has always taken direction positively while adding her own unique voice to each hair style. She is fast, confident, precise and creative, a great teacher, and I would recommend her work to any new clientele.

Julie is the full package; super warm, with a relaxed confidence and able to achieve very high quality work at a fast pace. Her co-workers, clients and I greatly enjoyed working with her.
