Jules Ruby is always my first go to for HMU. She is just so good at what she does! She is a complete professional and always prepared. Jules also has a lovely way about her that brings a lovely warm vibe to set and puts the artists at ease. Recently on smaller jobs for us she has been doubling up on HMU and styling which is a great added bonus for those leaner and faster projects.

I've worked with Jules Ruby a few times now both as the person in the chair and as a person in Production. Every time is fantastic, fun and so professional! She makes you feel instantly comfortable and knows how to bring out your best. Her attention to detail is incredible - she really cares how you look. Her talent for prosthetic makeup is an added skill that truly sets her apart and makes her exceptional at her job. She also manages her team so well, which makes everything run seamlessly and as a woman of colour, it means so much that she has intentionally learned to work with ALL skin tones and does it beautifully, incorporating the right people in the team whilst also being hands on. Highly recommended!

She is one of the most collaborative people people on set. A great trooper to travel with. I think one of Jules's strengths is that she works smart and hard, making the work look so natural and organic in of itself. A value always great to collaborate with.

Working with Julia is truly wonderful. She’s passionate, dedicated, meticulous and an absolute pleasure to work with. Julia is a real team player, but more importantly, she’s great at her job. I look forward to being on site with her every time we get to do this thing that we do that’s filmmaking.
