Truly red carpet ready!!

Sarah is absolutely AMAZING! I am forever thankful I came across Sarah while searching for a hair stylist for my wedding. Her portfolio speaks for itself - she is so talented in her work and goes above and beyond to ensure your hair vision comes to life! I did a trial with her before the wedding and both the trial and wedding hair turned out absolutely beautiful! She took notes and photos to remember things we did during the trial to have on hand on wedding day. I got SO many compliments on my hair! It held up the whole day and even through the dance floor! On top of being amazing at hair, she is the sweetest soul you’ll ever meet! She is the exact kind of person you want hanging out with you while making you feel beautiful on the biggest day of your life! Book with Sarah! You will not regret it!

Sarah is the best!

I hired Sarah for my bridal hair and bridesmaids hair. She did an amazing job and our hairstyles lasted the entire day! She was so much fun to hang out with too. Thank you, Sarah!

Would highly recommend Sarah to anyone and everyone who listens!

I am so lucky that I even found Sarah through a recommendation AND that she was available on short notice for an elopement in Wrightsville Beach. I truly thought I’d have to do my own hair, but Sarah was so flexible and supportive throughout the whole process. She was so kind, and her energy was exactly what I needed on my wedding day. Everyone’s hair looked incredible and she stayed on schedule, which is impressive on its own. From the very first moment we talked, Sarah completely understood my vision and LISTENED to every bit of feedback. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone who listens!

Ready to go last minute!

I needed someone to do hair for myself and girls almost last minute, about a month out. Sarah was available and able to set up a consult with me just days before my actual wedding. I sent her a few pictures and she was able to pull it off better I had hoped! I'd recommend her for sure! Thank you so much for everything!

Everything I could dream of in wedding hair!

Sarah is absolutely fabulous! My hair was literally the only thing I knew I didn’t have to worry about during the stressful process of a COVID wedding! She did such a beautiful job and did so much to make me feel comfortable and confident with the style I’d chosen. When my MIL decided last minute she wanted her hair done as well, she rolled with it and we couldn’t have been happier with the results! A true professional and an artist, and I would recommend her to any bride to be!!

Wedding hair

Sarah is INCREDIBLE!!!! She did my wedding day hair and it was perfection. It held all night, was literally exactly what I asked for, and photographed so beautifully. My hair was a big part of why I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. On top of all of that, Sarah is such a fun, kind, and caring person so it was so nice to have her there to put me at ease on a very high stress day. You will not be disappointed with her services and I would rebook her for ANY event in a second!!

Absolutely Amazing

Having Sarah do my hair for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made. She was the very first vendor I hired after a recommendation from a friend and I am SO happy I did. When we had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID 19, she was so gracious and kind, pivoting the plans and helping me out every step of the way. She also helped me make a timeline. She did my hair this year for our "microwedding", with no trial and having never met me or worked with my hair - only photos. Not only is she the BEST to hang out with, but my hair came out PERFECT. She absolutely nailed my vision and I loved the beachy waves so, so much. I would hire her a million times if I could and I can't wait to have her do my hair again next year!

Accommodating and talented

My schedule was restrictive as I was living overseas before my wedding but Sarah fitted me in for a trial run during a trip home. My wedding was consequently postponed due to Covid, but Sarah did a more modest but beautiful up-do for my mini-mony this year. She is passionate about her work, knows how to listen to her client’s needs, and moreover is fun and friendly. 100% recommend Sarah!

Sarah is amazing!

Sarah helped me create my dream hairstyle for my wedding day! I did the trial with her which was really helpful then the day of the wedding I wanted a few tweaks and the day of the wedding she did exactly what I was looking for. Her energy is also so fun to be around the day of your wedding. Couldn't recommend her more!
