    BEST in the game!!

    From the bridal trail to the big day Sarah made my bridal makeup a dream. Before the trial we had a quick call about my vision and the vibe of the big day. During the trial she nailed the look I wanted. I’m a big “trust the artist” type of person, and at the end she made some amazing suggestions that I didn’t even think about for my wedding but was very excited about. Fast forward to the big day and she OUTDID herself! Starting off by making me feel so calm, she gave me an amazing facial massage. Then I let her do her magic (on a very sleep deprived face). She added the touches that we discussed at the trial that would really make the look pop at night. I loved that she knew what the look needed during the trial and then amplified it for the big day. I felt so beautiful and everyone commented on how amazing my makeup was all night long!

    Sarah made my makeup dreams come true!

    I wanted an editorial and colorful bridal look, and Sarah absolutely made my dreams come true! From the start, Sarah generously offered her expert guidance and skills to help me realize my vision of a pink and red look to honor my Chinese background. In addition to being excellent at her artistry, Sarah is communicative, timely, and very kind. I truly felt my very best on my wedding day (and looked amazing in my photos) and wouldn't have entrusted my bridal party to anyone else.

    Sarah is a master!

    I cannot recommend Sarah enough - she is not only a funny, sweet, and easygoing person, but she is also a genius with makeup and puts you at ease right away when you're in the chair. Sarah did my mom's and my hair and makeup for my wedding and she totally nailed it. Neither my mom or I typically wear much makeup, but she gave us both beautiful looks that also felt light and comfortable, not to mention lots of staying power throughout the night. Sarah made it super easy to schedule a preview, talk through my preferences, and was accommodating to any changes I had. Don't hesitate go with her, you will not regret it!

    Sarah is the BEST!

    Sarah did my wedding makeup, and I could not have asked for a better experience. Sarah is patient, collaborative, and so fun to work with. I don’t wear much makeup, and was worried about looking different at my wedding. So many people commented on how I looked like an elevated version of myself, which is exactly what I wanted! She even convinced my mother, who is recently in remission from cancer, to get light make up done, and the work was stunning. I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough!

    Sarah Khan Artistry's reply:

    Serena, it was my pleasure to bring your wedding vision to life! I loved the bridal preview vision we created but the I adore the tweaks we made to ensure the wedding makeup look was a timeless and enhanced Serena with a matte eye and a flush of color on your cheeks!!

    I was so excited to have your mom in my chair!

    Thank you so much for having me apart of your and Spencer’s wedding day! 💕

    Thank you for having me apart of your special moment!

    A wonderful human who's work is pure art!

    Sarah is such a joy to work with. I did a bridal preview with her before the wedding and she nailed exactly what I wanted; I only had one minor tweak for my actual wedding day and Sarah adjusted perfectly. Sarah was recommended to us by a friend, and she was able to work with us despite us reaching out only two months out from our wedding date. My makeup didn't move an inch on our Wedding Day; I barely even had to touch up my lips. Her work is art and her shining personality shows she truly cares about you throughout the entire process. Couldn't recommend enough!

    Sarah Khan Artistry's reply:

    Nicole, it was truly a pleasure to be able to execute your bridal makeup vision! I’m so happy I was able to be apart of such a memorable milestone and gained a beautiful friend in the process!

    A MUA who truly understands you

    Sarah is the BEST! She did my makeup for my engagement shoot and wedding. Being Asian, I was really concerned about makeup artists not being able to cater to my facial structure, but I did a trial with Sarah and knew I had to get my makeup done with her. Throughout the process, she was so kind, responsive and went above and beyond to meet my needs and understand my likes/dislikes and cater my makeup accordingly. She made me feel so comfortable and taken care of and is just such a joy to work with. I would HIGHLY recommend her! She’s amazing!

    Couldn’t be happier!

    Sarah was incredible to work with for my wedding hair and makeup! She did a wonderful job bringing my vision to life and made excellent adjustments after our trial to perfect the look for my wedding day. She is a true professional and a joy to spend hours with. Would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat and return for any future hair/makeup needs! Thanks Sarah!

    Amazing experience!

    I booked Sarah to do my hair and makeup for my wedding a couple weeks ago, and she was AMAZING!! I had done a makeup and hair trial with someone else before Sarah and I hated my makeup so much and I was really worried I wouldn’t be able to find someone who would make me look amazing, but really subtle. I booked a trial with Sarah and the magic she worked was just incredible. I had airbrush makeup done which I loved as someone who really doesn’t like feeling makeup on my skin. I am sooooo picky about my hair and makeup and Sarah was so flexible and never got offended when I wanted to make tiny adjustments, or bring my own lipstick to use on the day of! She also was so attentive and helpful in the months leading up to my wedding as I tried to narrow down my vision.

    I will add some of the professional photos once I get them back, but the masterpiece that Sarah created with my hair was stunning. I think just about every single guest (and everyone I’ve shown photos to) complimented my hair. She brought my dream look into a reality, and I have never felt so beautiful!! Also Sarah really went above and beyond in the getting-ready room with me lol, helping me put on my shoes and getting my train straightened out before my first-look. She also was such a good person to have by my side during that time - when we had a moment alone, she asked me if my mom or anyone stressed me out or anything so that she could get a heads-up on any hiccups we might face. It was so comforting to me that she was thinking about things like that! I really felt like she was in my corner that whole morning/early afternoon.

    I definitely spent more than I originally planned on hair & makeup, but honestly Sarah is worth everyyyyy penny. I didn’t have to touch up my hair or makeup the entire night, and it felt so good that I had 100% trust in Sarah after my trials. Also another note - we had a really small wedding, so we didn’t have bridesmaids or groomsmen - it was surprisingly hard to find makeup artists who were willing to travel for just the bride’s hair and makeup. I am super thankful that Sarah was willing to do so! Trust me, you will not regret booking with her!! I trust her with my life at this point!!

    Sweetest and Detail Oriented Stylist

    Sarah is so kind and genuine. She did an awesome job on my hair, from giving me great recommendations for extensions to really listening to my feedback from the trial. She made sure my pin straight hair was curled all day and gave me tons of volume that read so well in photos. She did an awesome job giving my mom a glam curled look too and even curled my sister’s bangs when she wasn’t getting service but needed a little something in a pinch. She went above and beyond!

    Beautiful Results!

    Sarah really brought my vision to life for the wedding day and helped me source extensions for my hair, which I'm SO glad I ended up doing and having a professional who knew how to work with them. She was super nice and went above and beyond helping to style little last touches as my first look got started - even pinning the boutonniere onto my husband LOL. It helped me to have a clear vision of what I wanted walking in so I wasn't surprised by anything and could talk over what I was hoping for!

    Best Wedding Makeup & Hair Stylist!!!

    Sarah is hands down the best wedding makeup artist and hair stylist!!! I sent her a few inspo pics and didn’t have time to do a trial due to time constraints on my part. She nailed my exact vision on the day of!!! Not only that but my hair and makeup stayed the entire time, even my lipstick!! I was so impressed by Sarah’s work and 10/10 highly recommend her for all your wedding needs!!

    Fabulous collaboration for may dream wedding look

    Sarah was one of my favorite vendors that I worked with for my wedding. She was incredibly detailed in taking notes and remembering exactly what I wanted for my hair and makeup look. She made me feel incredibly comfortable during all our conversations so I could best describe how to achieve my intended look. My mom and bridesmaids also adored her and Kristin in giving them their ideal looks for the wedding.

    Another amazing thing about Sarah: I work intense hours but whether I email her at 6 am or at 10 pm, she always responds within 10 minutes! It was a dream to work with her and I would choose her again in a heartbeat.

    An absolute delight

    Sarah was wonderful to work with. I cannot say how much I appreciate her kindness, her professionalism, her thoughtfulness, and her artistry. As she is aware, Sarah truly swooped in and saved the day at the last minute after we had to change hair and makeup vendors before our June wedding. Sarah - thank you for everything, you are a treasure!

    Amazing Experience with Sarah!

    Working with Sarah was a true pleasure. Not only is she incredibly professional, but she is super talented and worked directly with me (and my mom/MIL/bridesmaid) to make sure my hair and makeup were exactly what I wanted. Even when we had to cancel our wedding due to the pandemic, she was flexible in rescheduing and ended up doing my hair/makeup for our wedding photos instead. She made me feel so beautiful and comfortable, and her professionalism really helped ease any anxiety I had about the photos. I would recommend Sarah to anyone, and hope to be able to use her services again in the future! Thank you Sarah!

    Amazing! Loved the look and the vibe!

    Sarah Kahn Artistry is amazing! I hired her and her team to do my hair and my bridesmaids hair for my wedding. Throughout the wedding process we communicated a lot about my hair and extensions. Sarah guided my through the process of getting my first extensions and helped me find a match. She also did my hair trial, my hair for my bridal shower, and of course for my wedding. All the bridesmaids LOVED their looks too!

    Sarah has great attention to detail and a warm vibe that was a fantastic addition to my getting ready vibe. 10/10 would recommend.

    Incredible. I’ve never felt more beautiful & confident.

    Working with Sarah for your wedding, or any big day for that matter, is the best decision you could make. Sarah is so incredibly professional, responsive & talented. The hair and makeup she did for my wedding was exactly what I wanted and then somehow a million times better than I could have envisioned it being. Most importantly she made my mom, mother in law and sister feel radiant and confident. I had a tiny wedding/wedding party and having Sarah (& Kristen!) there to help us get ready was such a perfect start to the day. They joined into the festivities seamlessly. Whatever your vision or inspiration, trust that Sarah will make it come to life and make you feel absolutely incredible. Thank you, Sarah. You are the GOAT!

    Incredible stylist with the best energy!!

    Having Sarah as our hair stylist was one of the best decisions I made about my wedding! Not only is she just an amazingly talented stylist, she really listened to my and my bridesmaids’ various needs and made us all feel so confident and beautiful! Also, she was such a great presence in the getting ready suite! She puts everyone at ease with her kind and bubbly personality. She was just so sweet, flexible, patient, and professional. I cannot recommend her highly enough - you definitely want her in the room on your big day!

    Makes your dream look become a reality!!!!

    You do not want to pass up hiring Sarah for your bridal hair and makeup. Very professional, great variety of makeup colors and options. She had my examples of what
    I thought I wanted and suggested some minor changes that were perfect. After our trial, I had a list of things I wanted different (which was all my fault for not knowing much about makeup) and the day of the wedding she remembered them all. I felt so bad my eyes kept watering from allergies and she must of fixed the makeup at least 8 times before I left like it was no big deal. She also helped me keep calm and relaxed while making me look pretty. Thank you so much Sarah for all your patience and help on my special day!!!

    Best makeup artist ever

    Sarah was so sweet and flexible. She came to my apartment multiple times to do my hair and makeup. She advised me to get extensions, which was the best decision for my hair for the wedding. She was so flexible and easy to talk with when I kept adding people who needed their hair and makeup done! I also changed how I wanted my makeup done and she was really accommodating and got it exactly right. And on the day of the wedding — Wow. I got so many compliments on how gorgeous my makeup looked. Couldn’t recommend her more!

    Best makeup experience!

    I’ve gotten my makeup done professionally a few times and this was definitely the best experience I’ve ever had. I did a makeup trial with Sarah and then once my veil came in, we ended up doing a second trial. Sarah was so involved in the process of coming up with my wedding look and went above and beyond to find inspo pictures of looks that she thought I would like. On the day of the wedding, not only did she do my hair and makeup but she stuck around to help me get dressed and to see if we needed anything else before she left. It felt like she was a part of the bridal party/family because she truly cared about how I felt and looked. It’s been 4 days and I’m still getting messages asking about who did my hair and makeup. I loved my wedding look and it lasted all night! She gave me a touch up kit but I didn’t even need it because my makeup didn’t budge. I’m so glad I trusted Sarah with doing my makeup for my wedding, I wouldn’t change a thing about it.

    I have never felt more beautiful!

    I will admit that selecting a hair and make up artist for my wedding day gave me a lot of anxiety because these are such personal things. I was worried I wouldn’t find an artist who understood my vision and that I wouldn’t want to see pictures of myself from my wedding day. It turned out I was anxious and worried for nothing because Sarah was the most wonderful make up artist I could imagine, and I am so, so grateful to have had her as a part of my vendor team!!

    Sarah is warm and communicative, her kindness radiates even over email. Sarah and I spoke multiple times before my trial to discuss my daily make up routine, my preferences, allergies, and my ideal vision for myself. I felt she really took the time to ask questions and understand my comfortability with certain looks.

    Prior to my trial Sarah assured me that if there was anything I didn’t like or wanted changed that she was open to feedback, which immediately put me at ease knowing that I could be honest with her. I loved my trial, there were only a few minor things I wanted tweaked after seeing how some of the products wore on my skin throughout the day, and Sarah was beyond gracious at accepting this feedback. We emailed back and forth about her ideas for what she could do differently, and then on my wedding day I was so impressed that she remembered what we had discussed, for example, using a peach toned blush instead of pink which helped to calm my rosacea, and I didn’t have to remind her to make this swap. It was apparent that she had taken the time the day before my wedding to review her notes and prepare, and that meant a lot to me.

    Sarah has a calm, positive energy that is soothing even as I could feel the butterflies start to build on my wedding day. She stayed laser focused even as we were nearing our deadline to finish hair and make up and the room started to become crowded with vendors and distractions, she kept her cool and kept her sole focus on me.

    I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day, and it is all thanks to Sarah! I received so many compliments on my hair and make up, and my fiancé loved my look! I felt comfortable, confident, and radiant.

    I would highly recommend Sarah to any bride of any age, Sarah did just as beautiful a job on me as she did with my Mom’s hair and make up. I would love the opportunity to collaborate with Sarah again for another special occasion, she is so talented and a pleasure to work with! My sincere thanks to her for a fabulous experience!!
