Great experience!

Sarah was amazing to work with! She was so efficient, 9 ladies hair & make up - all by herself! And we stayed on our timeline! We were so happy with the outcome of everyone's look. Plus, Sarah is so personable and friendly! Sitting in her chair was so comfortable and she makes sure you are happy with your look before letting you get up!
Can't recommend using Sarah enough!!!

Great experience with Sara

I cannot say enough good things about Sara. She drove up a mountain during a tropical storm to help us get ready before the wedding, and she rolled with the punches when my bridal party requested different styles the day of the wedding. My mother and my MIL both loved her makeup and styling, and Sara was able to change my styling day based on the weather. In the end, she was able to do exactly what I wanted with a different look from the trial.
