Ankerman Artistry (Formerly Beauty by Sarah Ankerman)

h. She got my vision for my hair and it was so, so beautiful. It stayed all night and I never felt like it was in danger of falling out. Everyone loved their hair and in particular she did such a good job with my Mom. Thank you Sarah! I even talked to her about my idea for a post-wedding haircut and she gave me some suggestions on how to ask for the new shorter style - and she was right, I love my new shorter hair!

ions and advice that really helped all while calming nerves (of the MOB more than the Bride!) the make up technique and products she used were just right for the look we wanted and the brides hair was exactly as she’d hoped. It was a great start to the perfect day! I highly recommend.

initially liked at the trial, but on the wedding day I changed my mind, she was so kind about it and did not pressure me to do something else! Everything felt very genuine and for that I am so appreciative.

my house for my hair and makeup trial! It was so easy! On the wedding day she did an amazing job. Sarah and her team did make up for 11 people and hair for 10. I would ABSOLUTELY work with Sarah again!!

ed and very patient. On the day of my wedding, she was on time, self sufficient and kept to her schedule for my bridal party. I didn't worry about anything - I knew she had it covered! We all looked amazing and everything was perfect!

of course! She was extremely prompt with her email and phone call responses and was even ahead of schedule for the January 2018 wedding we worked on together. Her entire team was very impressive with their level of beauty skills and being ahead of schedule with the large bridal party. Not one person in the room was stressed and all of the ladies turned out even more gorgeous once Sarah and her team was finished! I would highly recommend her, not only because she is truly talented, but also professional and an incredibly nice person! Thank you for a flawless day Sarah!! <3

y own and totally worth it!

ful for my wedding and I was getting a lot of compliments on my hair and makeup all day .she rocked it and I was happy with all her talent.

moms looked beautiful as well. Everyone said we all looked absolutely stunning and I have never felt more beautiful! Sara is very personable, fun, flexible and passionate. She ensured we were all estastic with our look. I would highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a great natural look, as my makeup did not looked caked on (something I was nervous about since I typically don't wear makeup). I will definitely utilize Sara again and recommend her to all my friends who have upcoming weddings! She is fantastic!

done for a video shoot that lasted all day and every aspect of my hair and makeup was perfect for the duration of the shoot. I plan on getting married early next year and will be using her for my wedding party! I showed her a picture of what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like and she made it look perfect! I would HIGHLY recommend her!

cousins Sydney and Kailey who were his groomsmaids, and for me too - the mother of the groom. Sarah was so attentive and sensitive to how each woman wanted her makeup done, and everyone looked radiant and lovely for this very special day. So if you're looking for a pro who's not only incredibly talented but a very sweet and kind person, Sarah (and her wonderful assistant Desiree who created a masterful basketweave hairstyle for Viktoriia) is the person to call!!!

on people. She has the most genuine heart of gold. She loves what she does and it absolutely shows in the final results after she's done. Throughout my bridal shower she did touch ups. It was completely flawless and my pictures from that day were perfect. I felt so beautiful that day which is something I struggle with often but getting my makeup done by her and ensuring it stayed flawless, was the best service I ever could have asked for. I got so many compliments that day. I would recommend Sarah to anyone looking for reasonably priced but absolutely perfect makeup services!

gements. She is Sooooo down to earth, knowledgeable and so amazing at making you feel and look stunning! I love how detail oriented she is and how well she gets to know her clients. She specializes in making you look naturally beautiful while bringing out a gorgeous glow ... which was a huge relief for me since I don't typically wear much makeup. Sarah was wonderful to work with. It was like having an old friend do my makeup!

ers, I am beyond picky when it comes to my hair and makeup but I live in Orange County and my stylist is in Beverly Hills so I needed someone in San Diego. After reading several reviews on Sarah I contacted her and got a quick reply. She kept in communication the week of the wedding and made sure she knew the look I wanted. The day of she was not only on time - she was early! And was the sweetest, kindest person. Through the whole process she made sure I was happy with the look and told me if there was anything I wanted changed to let her know - well there wasn't a thing I would change! I have never received so many compliments on my makeup as I did at that wedding! For 7+ hours my hair remained perfect and makeup stayed flawless. An outdoor wedding in the sun and my makeup never budged. My hair was exactly how I wanted it and it stayed perfect all night. I told Sarah to work her magic and she did. She listened to me and gave me the look I wanted while making me feel gorgeous. I could not have asked for more! I would work with her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone. You will not be disappointed.

only did she have a TON of products to accommodate all of our requests, but she brought such a happy, bubbly, fun presence to the room! As she was doing my make up, I really liked that she kept handing me the mirror to show me what she was doing to see if I liked it. That made me feel comfortable and confident in the process, and calmed my nerves, knowing that I was going to love the final outcome. Before The actual day of, she was very easy to get a hold of my phone and text, and responded right away. As bridesmaids, we all liked that we could send her pictures ahead of time what we wanted. She was so accommodating! Funny thing is....now we are friends and keep in touch! THAT'S how much we all loved working with her!!

she will do next !

a true professional. She listens to what your vision is but then takes it to another level with her expertise and special touches. I had so many pictures of hairstyles I wanted, then she did something far superior to anything I had showed her. She nails it every time. I cannot recommend her enough, Sarah will be my go to whenever I need hair & makeup! Just love her!

d use her again and highly recommend her without question.

ight on time. She was a pleasure to work with and my daughter and the other women she worked with looked amazing. There were so many things to worry about that day. However, Sarah's pleasant demeanor, helpfulness and genuine happiness for us on our special day made us forget about any worries we may have had. Sarah
