Nestled in the heart of Reading, Style by Julie has grown from humble beginnings into a trusted name across the communities of Woodley, Charvil, and beyond. What began as a dream in Julie’s early days has blossomed into a flourishing studio, where creativity, skill, and warmth come together under one roof.

Julie’s journey into the world of hair and beauty began at the iconic Lady Gray Hair Salon in Reading Town Centre. There, she honed her craft and pursued a series of diplomas, training under the expert guidance of Schwarzkopf at their renowned Old Bond Street studio in London. Her talent quickly took root, and soon, she was a fully qualified hairdresser.

But Julie didn’t stop there.

Driven by a deep passion for her craft, she expanded her expertise into beauty therapy and nail technology at Reading College, training with Bio Sculpture. With over 36 years of hands-on experience, Julie remains captivated by the ever-evolving world of hair and beauty. She’s known for her innovative approach, continuously refining her skills through award ceremonies, industry conferences, and exhibitions across the UK.

In 1988, Style by Julie was officially born—a personal and professional milestone that has taken Julie across the South of England. From local gems like The Great House in Sonning to countryside retreats across Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, and even London, Julie has brought her magic to countless clients, all while keeping her studio at the heart of her work.

Whether it’s a bold new look inspired by the latest trends or a comforting, familiar blow-dry, Julie’s clients know they’re in expert hands. Many have been returning for years—some from near, others from afar—all drawn by the personal care and artistry that defines Style by Julie.

If you’re ready to transform your style or simply indulge in some well-earned self-care, we’d love to welcome you.

Julie has been my hairdresser for 35 years. Julie did my wedding hair in 1990 and I have been with her ever since. Wouldn’t go anywhere else! Had a perm today and had colours before. Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly, Julie also offers the latest products. Always very pleased with my hair and can 100% recommend Style by Julie 😀

My wife was having a perm, which she has done for years with Julie, so I had time for Julie to cut my hair while I waited. The best cut ever and a great price, more competitive than others and I know now why my wife always comes to Style by Julie. Julie is professional and fun I will come with my wife in future to get my hair cut. 10 out of 10.

Went in for a consultation last week and Julie was very helpful with any questions I had about perms.
She took the time to understand and discuss what I wanted my hair to look like, and I loved the outcome very much when we were done.
Will certainly come back again when I need to!

I recently got my hair dyed, washed, cut and blow-dried.
Julie did an amazing job. She was very professional and took care to pick the best treatment for my hair. As a woman who wears a hijab it is really hard to find a hairdressers that is completely private and makes you feel welcomed. Julie made me feel completely at ease and comfortable. I have recommended her to all my family and friends.

So happy to have found Julie to cut my sons (3yr old) and families hair. We have had some not so good experiences with salons, even ‘child’ friendly ones.. Julie is fab, it’s a lovely environment (studio in her home) and a great service. Can not recommend highly enough, not getting a haircut is a pleasant trip!!

My experience here was really good. I really enjoyed Julie’s hospitality at her salon! She’s very experienced and will listen to her customers wants and needs. I would recommend her to anyone as she’s gives great advice on what’s the best option for each customers rather than doing just anything. Thank you Julie! 10/10! 🙂

I found Julie by chance 6 months ago after 20+ years with my last hairdresser who moved away and I’m so glad I did. I’m really pleased with each cut and the colour (I’ve had full head of highlights then 1/2 head, and cut and blow dry). I’ve had many compliments about the style too, it looks great and Julie’s given me top tips on drying my hair myself which has been brilliant. I highly recommend Style by Julie.
