Couldn’t have asked for better service!

I got married on Valentine’s Day 2025 and had a large bridal party +3 mothers of the brides. We had multiple changes to services and they handled everything with professionalism and grace. Everyone walked away happy with both their hair and make up, they arrived on time and even did the hair for our flower girl on the spot when she changed her mind and wanted to get something cute done. They were simply excellent to work with the entire time and the price was great!

Amazing Experience

We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing Sara Tamargo team! After an emergency left us without a hair and makeup artist, Sara Tamargo stepped in to save the day. I cannot say enough about how professional, responsive, organized, and TALENTED all of the artists were. Sara Tamargo made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free, especially given the last-minute circumstances. Our hair and makeup turned out absolutely gorgeous and lasted beautifully throughout the entire day. They helped us feel confident, beautiful, and so well cared for on our wedding day. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend them to any bride!

Happy bride!

Sara Tamargo & team were phenomenal. They were so nice, polite, and poignant. They asked for inspiration for my look and completely nailed it! I did not do the trial and it still ended up perfect. My bridesmaids were in love with their looks as well. Thank you so much!

Beyond Flawless Experience with Sara Tamargo Makeup and Hair!

Beyond Flawless Experience with Shania Santiago!

I recently got married at Dreams Natura in Cancun, and hiring Sara Tamargo Makeup and Hair was hands down the single best decision I made for my entire wedding!

Based on recommendations from other destination brides, I decided to book with them, and the experience from start to finish was flawless.

Incredible Talent Without a Trial
Because it was a destination wedding, I didn't have the opportunity to do a trial beforehand. I was assigned Shania Santiago as my artist, and she is a absolute genius at her craft!

Without even doing a trial run, Shania listened to what I wanted and executed my vision better than I had imagined.

Natural Makeup: I really wanted a natural, elevated look where I still felt like myself, and she nailed it completely. I received endless compliments all night on how fresh and beautiful my makeup looked!

Intricate Hair: My hairstyle was detailed, secure, and intricate, and it stayed looking perfect through humidity, outdoor photos, and non-stop dancing on the rooftop all night long!

Unbeatable Value & Seamless Process
Beyond the stunning talent, booking with Sara Tamargo's team was ridiculously affordable and stress-free:

Affordable Pricing: At $295 USD for both bridal hair and makeup, the quality far exceeds the price point.

Vendor Fee Savings: Because you pay per artist brought on-site, having one solo artist do my look kept our outside vendor fee at only $300 USD—making it significantly more budget-friendly than other options without sacrificing an ounce of luxury or quality.

If you are a bride getting married in the Cancun/Riviera Maya area, do not hesitate for a second. Hire Sara Tamargo and ask for Shania Santiago—she made me feel like the most confident, beautiful version of myself on the most important day of my life!

Thank you so much to Shania and the entire team! 🤍✨

The best!

I was starting to get worried about hair and makeup (the included hair and makeup package with the resort) as i was not able to pay for an outside vendor fee. Sarah’s team responded so quickly and came up with alternative options for me and truly made me less nervous even without a trial. I didn’t want to change anything at all on the day of - they NAILED It. And i am picky. I would choose them again and again. Now i have beautiful photos to reflect the time and care they put into making my hair and makeup look beautiful.

The BEST hair & makeup artist!!

I can't recommend this hair and makeup team enough! From my trial to my wedding day, they listened to exactly what I wanted and made the entire experience so easy and enjoyable. They were incredibly sweet, professional, and made me feel so comfortable.
On my wedding day, we made a few changes from my trial to create a more natural look since it was so hot, and I wanted my makeup to last without feeling heavy. They did exactly that! Everything held up beautifully while still looking natural.

Wedding Hair & Makeup

Working with Sara Tamargo’s team was an amazing experience from start to finish! They were always prompt in responding to emails and messages, and their communication throughout the entire process was consistent and professional.

I initially did a hair and makeup trial and realized that the soft glam look wasn’t the right fit for me. I shared my concerns with the team, and they were incredibly accommodating- they scheduled a second complimentary trial to make sure I got exactly the look I wanted. I’m so grateful I did two trials because my wedding hair and makeup turned out absolutely perfect and exactly how I had envisioned it.

On the wedding day, the team arrived right on time and was so kind and sweet. They made the morning feel calm, fun, and stress-free. I couldn’t have been happier with the experience or the final results. I highly recommend Sara Tamargo’s team to any bride looking for talented artists who truly care about making you feel your best!

The best!!!

Stop looking for a hair and makeup team and book Sara Tamargo they are truly the BEST!
Getting married in Mexico came with a lot of uncertainty, especially when it came to finding a hair and makeup team that would make me feel beautiful and confident on my wedding day. As soon as I found Sara and her team and saw all of their incredible reviews, I knew they were the right choice.
From the very beginning, they were incredibly responsive, answered every question I had, and were so accommodating with my wedding timeline and schedule. On the day of the wedding, they made the entire morning feel seamless and stress free and came right to my room.
My hair and makeup turned out absolutely beautiful, and so did all of my bridesmaids'. Our makeup lasted from start to finish even through the Mexico heat, humidity, and a full night of celebrating!
I couldn't have been happier with my experience, and I would choose Sara and her team over and over again. If you're getting married in Mexico, do yourself a favor and book them you won't regret it!

Thank you!

We couldn’t recommend Sara Tamargo Makeup and Hair more highly!

Margarita, Isabel, Betzi, and Michelle were all amazing to deal with from start to finish.
They did an incredible job with the hair and makeup, and everyone looked absolutely beautiful. They created such a lovely, calm and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the morning.

A special thank you for taking such wonderful care of our mums, it meant so much to see how comfortable, confident, and happy they felt. They both absolutely loved the results.

Even though I didn’t do a trial beforehand, I absolutely loved my hair and makeup. It complemented my dress perfectly, felt completely like me, and my husband loved the look too.

Thank you for helping make our wedding day so special.

The best team ever

The absolute BEST HMU team in Cancun! I was a bridesmaid in a wedding a few years ago where they did hair and makeup for the bride and bridal party, and I remember thinking then that if I ever got married in Cancun, I had to have them for my big day.
Fast forward a few years later, and they exceeded every expectation! From start to finish, the entire team was professional, organized, talented, and so much fun to be around on such a special day.
They made everyone feel beautiful, calm, and confident, and every single look held up perfectly through the heat, humidity, tears, and dancing all night long.I truly could not recommend them enough for any bride looking for an amazing hair and makeup team in Cancun. They were such a huge part of making the day feel perfect!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Sara and her team are simply AMAZING! They're very professional, understanding every person needs and they work with high end products!. They made an excellent job recently at my brother's wedding, with the bride's hair & make up plus 10 more women extremely happy and satisfied, including myself. Everybody had nice comments about our make up and it lasted until the end of the event!
