About
Hello Beautiful People,
Crippled But Cute Beauty Firm has been serving clients for nearly a decade, specializing in luxury beauty services for weddings, special occasions, and the TV/film industry. The name often sparks curiosityâand thatâs exactly the point.
After surviving a stroke in 2014â2015 that left me in a wheelchair for nearly two years, I realized that illness doesn't always look how people expect it to. Despite my circumstances, I kept myself polished and styledânot to hide my condition, but to express resilience. I was often told, âYou donât look sick,â and that sparked something powerful in me. Why do we assume illness must come with a certain appearance?
I created Crippled But Cute to challenge that stigma. Our name stands for empowerment, visibility, and unwavering beauty in the face of adversity. Itâs a statement of strengthâfor me, and for the countless others navigating invisible or visible challenges every day.
At Crippled But Cute Beauty Firm, beauty is our war paint. Whether you're walking down the aisle, stepping on set, or celebrating lifeâs milestones, we are here to help you show up as your most radiant selfâbold, beautiful, and unbreakable.
With love and beauty,
Crippled But Cute Beauty Firm

I was online searching for a makeup artist and came across Juliannaâs page. Her reviews immediately caught my attention, so I reached out to inquire â and Iâm so glad I did! From the very first message, her communication was excellent. Julianna kept me informed, sent photos of her previous work, and reassured me that I had absolutely nothing to worry about. She was extremely attentive, constantly checking in with me about the look I wanted. Even when I wasnât completely sure, she offered ideas and helped me figure out exactly what would work best. Her professionalism, patience, and talent were truly top-tier. On the day of my birthday celebration, she came out and showed out! The final look was everything I envisioned and more. I felt beautiful and confident. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and caring makeup artist.
Thank you again!

Having Julianna come to our home for my special occasion makeup & hair was a thoroughly great experience. The initial contact on Thumbtack & subsequent messages were responsive and timely. At the appointment, she listened to my thoughts & questions and then created her plan. Julianna is excellent at what she does & her products are of high quality. I turned off my brain, feeling confident following her lead. In addition to her skill, she is warm and engaging - full of spirit and compassion. I loved how I looked!

Juliana and her assistant Eden went above and beyond to make my daughter's spa party a memorable success. They elevated the experience by not only applying makeup but also delivering a meaningful message about the importance of self-care. Their support, professionalism and warm presence were truly appreciated. I would highly recommend their services.
