🌈 Gender-Affirming Makeovers at Jax-Glam Beauty: See the Transformation

Jackie Fussell • 30 September 2025

At Jax-Glam Beauty, inclusivity is at the heart of everything I do. My private home salon in Lyde Green, Bristol is a safe, welcoming space where everyone is invited to explore beauty, confidence, and self-expression.

For many transgender women and trans-feminine clients, booking a makeover or lesson can feel like a big — and sometimes nerve-wracking — step. That’s why I’ve created a supportive, gender-neutral environment where you can relax, chat openly, and leave feeling more you than ever.


✨ In this new video, you’ll see exactly what happens during a gender-affirming makeover appointment.


💬 The Experience


Your appointment always begins with a consultation. We’ll sit down and talk about the look you’d like to achieve — whether natural and soft, bold and glamorous, or something in-between. This isn’t just about makeup and hair; it’s about making sure you feel comfortable, relaxed, and understood.


From there, the transformation begins:


  • Makeup tailored to you — applied in your chosen style, designed to feminise your features while enhancing your natural beauty.
  • Lashes & finishing touches — giving you that final polished look.
  • Hair or wig styling — curled, straightened, or styled in a way that makes you feel amazing.


And the best part? You’ll always have the choice to remove your makeup or change clothes before leaving, so you step out in whatever way feels right for you.



🌟 The Transformation


The video shows the “before and after” moments that are often the most emotional for my clients. Many describe seeing themselves in the mirror — sometimes for the first time — as the woman they’ve always wanted to be. It’s an incredibly moving part of my work, and a privilege I don’t take lightly.



🗣️ Client Testimonials

Here’s what some of my lovely clients have said about their experience at Jax-Glam Beauty:


“I found Jax-Glam through searching for LGBTQ+ friendly makeup services and felt very welcome. Jackie was so friendly, helpful, and very understanding which made me relaxed. Arriving without makeup made me nervous, but that soon changed as we chatted. When we had finished, I was overcome with emotions after seeing myself in the mirror looking like the woman I’ve always wanted to be.”
— Maddie, May 2023


“I was welcomed into Jackie’s beautiful salon and immediately made to feel comfortable and safe. The makeup lesson was fun, tailored to me, and gave me confidence to practice and improve. I’m much better armed now with the basics and lots of practical tips.”
— Flora, March 2024
