Sarah is Amazing!

I just had a PMU appt with Sarah this past weekend. I previously had micro- blading done a couple of years ago at another salon and didn't get to go back for my follow-up and retouch appt. So I was way overdue and needed them fixed. I let Sarah know, she took time to go over in detail options and provided her suggestions to give me the look I shared I wanted. She did an amazing job, as fellow beauty industry friendors ALL advised me to go to her. I love them and Sarah! If you are interested in getting yours done be sure to call TMSSR to schedule your appt!

Exceptional Microblading Experience with Sarah & Team

I recently had the pleasure of getting my eyebrows microbladed by Sarah & her two talented students & I am thrilled with the results. The attention to detail & skill demonstrated throughout the process was truly impressive.

Sarah's expertise & the collaborative effort of her students created a seamless & enjoyable experience. The final outcome exceeded my expectations & I now have beautifully shaped & defined eyebrows that perfectly complement my features.

I highly recommend Sarah & her team for anyone considering microblading. Trusting the process was key & the results speak for themselves. Thank you for the fantastic work & the boost of confidence that comes with perfectly groomed eyebrows.

Amazing Job!

Sarah and Empress were amazing makeup artists for our wedding! After some emergency schedule changes popped up, they were incredibly flexible and went out of their way to accommodate us and make the brides day special. Everyone kept commenting on how absolutely stunning we looked. We will definitely be using their services again and recommend that anyone looking for an affordable and amazing makeup artist book through TMSSR!

Amazing makeup!

Maryanna was amazing. She listened to exactly what I wanted and perfected it! She did my makeup, as well as my mothers and maid of honors. She managed to provide what we all wanted even though it was different looks and different skin. Thank you!!!

Gaby Roby is a Make-up Genius

I booked hair and Makeup with TMSSR. I saw Gaby Roby’s work on instagram and booked without a trial. I was planning from Florida and they made the process super simple and we did my trial 2 days before my wedding. I was not let down! She is so kind and sweet as well as talented. I have no regrets booking with this company, it was super simple which really was the theme of my wedding in all aspects. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING

The Perfect Look

I've had bad experiences with makeup artists doing really terrible jobs with my makeup in the past, so I was hesitant with any makeup artist for my wedding. Well, I had no reason to be skeptical with Sarah. I wasn't even clear with what I wanted and she was able to recommend the PERFECT look for me. She mixed two completely different styles of makeup to make a perfect, unique and elegant look for me. She was so personable and professional. I got SO many compliments on my makeup! Even more, her team did a fantastic job with my bridesmaids' makeup and they were all so pleased with it! Sarah and her team were so upbeat, friendly, and professional. They did an outstanding job and I could not recommend them more!

This is simply the best and only place for makeup and hair. Sarah Rillon did my makeup for my wedding, and she was AWESOME. Kechelle did my bridal hair, and it was gorgeous. I also added wedding touch ups, and Gaby Roby was so sweet and did a wonderful job. Administratively, they are on top of things. They are very responsive, and are very professional.

I walked in to the chic, modern, clean school and was greeted by a makeup artist who was working on a bride and then by Sarah who was warm and friendly as usual. I came in for a private lesson. No special occasion, but felt like after years of frustration with makeup, I needed to learn how to apply it properly. I am a healthcare professional and business owner and attend meetings on a weekly basis and wanted to learn how to look natural but polished. Sarah was a good listener, understood what I was trying to achieve, and met (if not exceeded) that expectation. I learned some valuable tips and techniques and my makeup looked absolutely amazing.

I went to the Makeup School by Sarah Rillon at my photographer's recommendation to have my makeup done for my engagement pictures. And what an awesome recommendation it was! Jessikah did my hair and Sarah did my make-up. They worked incredibly well together and made me feel right at home. And the final product was amazing....I felt and looked beautiful. I received many compliments, especially about my makeup. If you are looking for someone to make you look and feel amazing then go and see Sarah and her team....they will exceed any expectations that you have!

SARAH IS A PHENOMENAL MAKEUP ARTIST. She made me feel gorgeous on my wedding day and my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law were all stunning. Sarah can also work under pressure! We had to cut our time by an hour and she still did a super amazing job!

I was able to work with Sarah personally and was very, very satisfied. She is an amazing MUA and super lovely person to work with. She asked me specifically for what I had in mind for my bridal make up, and even though I didn't have pictures, she was able to put my visions into work. Sarah did a trial make up and on my big day when I asked for a few changes, she perfectly delivered them!

I am very happy with booking Sarah Rillon for my wedding. She made my bridesmaids look gorgeous and made me look flawless on my wedding day. I was in "awe" when I took a first look at my make up when she finished. I would not change anything and would book her all over again if I had to relive my wedding. Sarah is very professional! She is easy to talk to, contact and responses in a timely manner. She gave me the look I was going for and I received so many compliments on my look at my reception. My make up lasted all night and did not look cakey at all. Money well spent. If you want to look Phenomenal on your wedding day or any occasion, please book Sarah! She is amazing at what she does and you will not be disappointed. Thank you for everything Sarah!

I hired Sarah to do my makeup for my maternity photo session. Sarah was absolutely wonderful to work with. She made me feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful! She was very easy to talk to, and did my makeup exactly how I had envisioned it...maybe even better! I had never felt more beautiful. My only regret is that I didn't hire her to do my wedding makeup! I would highly recommend using Sarah! She is truly gifted at what she does, and it shows.

I chose Sarah's makeup artistry for my first nominated award ceremony for ACHI magazine. I have worked with Sarah on set before, but having her help prepare me for one of the happiest nights of my life really sealed the deal. Thanks so much for making me look flawless Sarah and congratulations on your win as well for ACHI!

Sarah Rillon is THE BEST MUA IN THE WORLD! I was lucky to be able to schedule two trials with Sarah before my actual wedding day and Sarah even did two make-up classes with my mother and grandmother in the fall! Sarah is beyond talented, professional and sincere. She added the most perfect "touch" to my wedding day and made me feel like the most beautiful bride. It truly is amazing how she can enhance each person's beauty and make them feel comfortable at the same time.

Her hair and make-up team were also fantastic. They were all professional, arrived on time and helped me and each of my bridesmaids achieve the look WE wanted. Everyone looked perfect!

THANK YOU!!

I absolutely love Sarah! She did my makeup for my best friend's wedding and I hired her for my wedding. I wouldn't go to or trust anyone else! I recommend her for any occasion including her staff that I have also had a privilege to interact with. All are so kind and approachable. They will work with all your needs. But book fast because Sarah has always booked fast due to the quality in her work and her professionalism. I promise you for your big day you will not anyone else to beautify you but her and her hard work shows! And her school is beautiful!

Sarah is amazing at what she does. She was flexible and met me at my venue at the time I needed. She can do as little or a much as you want her to do. She truly makes you feel glamorous and enhances your beauty. She is at the high end of cost of MUA's but it is worth the investment and you will notice why when looking at her portfolios. She has talent that is unparalleled and is worth every dime. She is so sweet and easy to work with. She sees the beauty in everyone and strives to help people see it within themselves. I would recommend her to anyone.

Loved them!

I hired Gaby to do makeup and Maggie to do hair for me, my sister and mom on the day of the wedding. Both were incredibly professional, efficient and great at their jobs. In both my trial and on the day of, both made me feel super comfortable and took what I was looking for and made it happen with ease. Specifically, for makeup, I cannot say enough about how amazing Gaby is. From the moment I met her at the trial, she made me feel beautiful and comfortable, and working with her was an absolute joy. She did an absolutely fabulous job with my makeup, and in particular, was great with my two young nieces who I treated with "makeup" for the wedding. But on top of all that, I felt like Gaby was my hype girl- she could have put no makeup at all on my face, and I would have still felt fabulous because of her personality alone. At the end of the day, I went with airbrush and a very natural look, which Gaby nailed, but we also tested a few more dramatic looks at the trial, and frankly, anything she did would have been amazing. 100% worth absolutely every penny- highly recommend!

I felt so beautiful and natural!

I loved Sarah and how she did my makeup. They offer a package deal when you get all your bridesmaids to get their makeup done and make it super easy for your trial-run. It was important to me to get someone who knew how to do natural asian makeup. Sarah did an amazing job and I loved how light it felt on my skin. All my bridesmaids loved their makeup and we felt like QUEENS. She even incorporated a beautiful hair piece that I wanted to flow in my hair. I asked her to do a beautiful loose curl (half-up/half-down) with a hair piece that could work with my veil. She made it happen with ease! Hire Sarah and her team for your makeup needs on your big day!

Do Not Book!!!

Do Not Book!!! Sarah is shady and is a con artist not a makeup artist. She tries to intimidate you if you fight her. We took her to court and won! But she’s continuing to refuse to pay us the money that’s rightfully ours. Save yourself the headache and money don’t let her con you too.
