Hi, I’m Julie—a hairdresser with over 30 years of experience and the founder of Hair and Gels by Julie Given. I’m Level 3 qualified and specialise in creative colour work, elegant pin-up styles, and bespoke bridal and prom hair. Whether it’s a soft, romantic updo for your big day or a custom colour blend that brings your vision to life, I’m passionate about helping clients feel their absolute best.
I also offer hair extensions—perfect for adding length, volume, or creating a full transformation. Whether you’re after something subtle or a completely new look, I’ll work closely with you to make sure your hair feels like you.
In addition to hair, I’m trained in nails and offer builder gels that are HEMA and TPO free—ideal for clients looking for stronger, healthier nails without harsh ingredients. These are a great option for anyone wanting natural-looking strength and durability, especially if you’re sensitive to common allergens found in many gel products.
I’m all about quality, consistency, and personalised care. Every appointment is tailored to suit your hair, your style, and your goals. I’ve built strong, genuine relationships with my clients over the years, and I love creating a relaxed, welcoming space where people feel at ease and leave feeling amazing.

I’m so excited to be starting this next chapter as part of the House of Calm team. It’s a beautiful space filled with passion, care, and creativity—and I feel truly lucky to be part of something special.
