Beautiful work! talented and made us feel like princesses!

We had an incredible experience with Sarah and her team! Extremely talented makeup artists and hair stylists! My fam and I are not makeup girls so it was amazing to have someone who understood what we were looking for. Natural, not heavy, but looking fierce and stunning! We were all so happy with how we looked! Sarah is professional, responsive, and most importantly fun! she makes the whole experience a blast. i didn't feel stressed at all. prices were reasonable too! I trusted her and she blew me away! I highly recommend SLT!!

Amazing!!!

I had such a great experience working with SLT Makeup Artistry. Sarah made me feel so comfortable and SO beautiful on my wedding day! She is the nicest person. I gave her a few examples of what I was looking for with my hair and makeup, and she worked with me at the trial to find looks I loved! She also incorporated the little changes I wanted to make. On the day of the wedding, they did such a good job getting all of us ready on time, and even managed to fit in my cousin who decided last minute to get her hair and makeup done! Bottom line- go with SLT you will not regret it! (photos by This Is Feeling)

May Wedding 2025

Sarah is the girl you want at your side on your wedding day! She's fun and easygoing and always kept things on schedule. It's so clear that she loves what she does and that this is her passion. I'm not someone that wears makeup every day, and she did a great job of making me look glamorous and "bridal" without it feeling like too much. She also was really open to feedback when I wasn't sure I liked something, and was more than happy to switch it up. She truly goes above and beyond and I cannot thank her enough!

Sarah is Amazing; Happy Bride

Like every wedding day, it starts with the bride in a chair and a stylist- and I sure was lucky to have Sarah taking care of me. She was super nice; listened to me and brought her own creativity and style to my wedding look. The whole time went like a breeze as we excitedly chatted and before I knew it- she turned me into a princess. This woman really is a fairy godmother of looks! She perfectly pinned all of my hair accessories and they did not budge even after a night of dancing. My makeup look was everything I wanted! Hire her if you want the perfect look

Great Team!

Sarah and her team did the hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids, our mothers, and even our flower girl! They did an amazing job and brought such a fun energy to the day. Everyone felt so comfortable with them despite none of us really knowing much about what we wanted. I absolutely loved how my look turned out for the big day and have loved how all of our photos turned out so far. Sarah and her team do a great job catering to whatever look or styles you or your girls want and I would highly recommend them to anyone else looking for a hair and makeup team for their big day!

Amazing wedding hair stylist!

Sarah Tjaden did our hair for my wedding! She was absolutely amazing! She always responded back to me pretty much right away (even if I sent her a message or inquiry at random hours of the day or on the weekend). I was indecisive about how I wanted my hair so on the day of my wedding I completely changed it compared to how we did it at my trial. She looked at my inspo pic and did my hair the exact way and it turned out perfect, better than I imagined! She has the best attitude and positive energy! She’s the person you want with you, laughing and singing along to your pre wedding playlist helping you get ready and look amazing on your big day! 100% recommend!

Love Sarah + SLT so much!!

Sarah is absolutely the best! Professional, fun, and really gets to know your personality so that your makeup matches. She knew exactly what I needed before I did! I have never felt more pretty than my wedding day and when she did makeup as a bridesmaid! 😊🤍🥰

Booked for Bride & Bridesmaid Night

I loved working with Sarah and her team for my wedding day. Each bridesmaid mentioned how they felt that the team took their time perfecting their look as much as they would if they were the bride. They listened to what we said we were comfortable with and it felt like we were hanging out with friends the whole day. The best part is the make up & hair stays the whole time! Even with many tears and intense dancing! I loved them so much I always suggest them to every bride I can. The professionalism, organization and fun personality of the group really made my day special.

SLT is amazing!

I wouldn’t choose any other vendor for my hair and make up services! They are so friendly and not only do they make you as the bride feel so special but they made all my girls feel the same exact way! I truly couldn’t thank them enough for everything. I will definitely book them for future events!

Friday the 13th

I can't say enough great things about Sarah and Karly. I first met them when my best friend got married and I knew I had to book them too. Amazing personalities, very professional, knowledgeable, and so easy to talk to! I wasn't a traditional bride, and they absolutely DELIVERED MY VISION! If you're thinking about booking services... do it!! You'll be so happy you did. 🖤 (The photo with my husband was to show off how the hair and extensions still looked even after it had been raining on me!)
