Laura G. Sent on 11/19/2023Great 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. -

After a mishap with my originally planned hair/makeup artist, I was apprehensive about things going well for my wedding. I am SO happy I stumbled upon Sara who was an absolute pleasure to work with. She offered a trial run for me to see how my hair and makeup would turn out before the event which was lovely and helped to ease my nerves.
I have genuinely never felt more beautiful (and photogenic) than I did on my wedding day and it's all thanks to Sara. I cannot recommend her enough. She's such a sweet person and has such talent. 5/5 would recommend. -

Sara did such an incredible job doing my hair and makeup and my bridesmaids' hair for my wedding! I don't usually wear makeup, even for special occasions, so I was worried that professional makeup would make me not feel like myself. I told Sara I didn't want anything over the top and she did a fantastic job giving me a look that made me feel like a glammed up version of myself. She worked really quickly and got each bridesmaid's hair done in under half an hour. The makeup she used was super high quality and lasted through the sweat and happy tears of the day (lasting from 1pm until past midnight when I took it off!) Because I'm from out of town, I couldn't find time to travel in for a hair and makeup trial, but I trusted Sara and she went above and beyond my expectations! Photos included in the review are from the photography smiths. -

My Future Hairstylist!
I found Sara here on wedding wire. I knew she was going to be a great fit just because of how responsive she was over email and how reasonably priced she was. I had my hair trial with her a couple of weeks before the wedding and instantly knew she would be a great hit with my bridesmaids, not only because she was very talented, but also because of how personable and flexible she was. She gave me some really great advice about how to wear my hair that day and the day of went so much smoother because of it! The day of she did my and all of my bridesmaids hair. I went with this cute low ponytail with a braid to show off my extensions. She also did my and the majority of my bridesmaids makeup. We all looked fabulous. I have not had good luck before with other stylists doing my makeup and was a little reluctant, but I think that was honestly my favorite part of this experience with Sara. She really listened to my goals - natural looking and utilizing highlighter, focus on eyebrows. I got so many compliments from my bridesmaids on how they felt they looked. I can’t wait for photos! -

Hair/Makeup Review
Sara completed all the hair and makeup for my special day and even with a tight schedule, she was able to get it all completed in time! I was able to get a wedding trial done months before my wedding to test out hair/makeup styles. Sara will come to you (AMAZING) and she was able to start SUPER early. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for hair/makeup for a wedding. Makeup stayed on all day and Sara supplied eyelashes to anyone who wanted! -

Book her!!
Sara is amazing!! We were short on time because getting married in December the sun sets early, and Sara was so flexible and accommodating and made sure everything was perfect on time!! My hair and makeup was beautiful and exactly what I asked for. She’s great! -

Couldn’t Be Happier
Sara was an absolute pleasure to work with, from initial consultation to day-of artistry. Sara covered hair and makeup for my full bridal party (5) and mothers of the bride and groom.
Our trial was absolutely crucial for customizing the look and feel, and she came through on the big day! Sara was responsive to a range of questions. She sourced and installed my extensions and helped me hunt down the perfect lip liner/color to keep with me the full night.
Our 11/6/2021 wedding involved a lot of pandemic-related contingency planning. Sara was professional and up front in drawing up a contract that worked for us both. I appreciated her flexibility and skill— I recommend her highly. -

Amazing work
Sara was professional and personable. She promptly responded and helped plan my bridal look and my bridal party . I knew little to nothing about professional hair and make up and she was so kind, and explained every step of the process. She showed up early and did amazing work. She also did 7 girls hair and make up all by herself and completely killed it. I will definitely be in contact for other events. -

Punctual and professional
Sara was great to work with! The trial was smooth and I felt comfortable the whole time, she listened to what each girl wanted and to my vision- everyone felt confident, beautiful, and we finished ahead of schedule! I have been part of weddings that did not have a good beauty team and it can really get things started on the wrong foot, highly recommend working with Sara after my great experience! -

Talented and personable
Sara is so sweet and kind. She drove out a decent ways to do my hair for my wedding. I had a vision for what I wanted and she did amazing work. She’s very talented and if she can do this well with bridal hair I have no doubt her makeup artistry is probably amazing too. Highly recommend!! -
