When I first contacted Sara, I went off her great reviews and didn’t realize we had actually met previously. I knew she was a sweet and kindhearted person, but I didn’t know much about her professionally at that point. I went to her to do my ha...ir and makeup for my engagement pictures first, which was when I made the easy decision to book her for my wedding. A few months later, I went to her again to do my hair and makeup for a formal Christmas party. Here’s the thing: like most of you reading this, all my life I’ve been showing stylists pictures of a formal hairstyle I wanted only to end up with getting something disappointing or different than what I asked for. When Sara did my hair and makeup for that event, it was the first time I saw what I had asked for in the mirror. Even better, my hair and makeup held up to a long night of Latin dancing.
I can’t sing this girl’s praises enough as a hairstylist. I had been going to another stylist to take care of my regular hair care needs, but when salons reopened after the COVID shutdown, I decided to go to Sara instead. With my other stylist, my highlights always seemed to turn brassy really quickly, and she never quite got my balayage vision. Sara fixed my color and recommended a keratin treatment right before my wedding that was exactly what I needed.
My hair is normally a mixture of wavy and curly with a large dose of frizz. On my wedding day, it rained during the ceremony and was humid and muggy the rest of the day. Somehow my hair looked amazing the whole day. Even though some of the curls loosened, it still looked amazing in all of the pictures. My makeup was polished and glamorous, but still very natural; it stayed in place perfectly until I removed it late that night. Sara did makeup for my bridesmaids, my mom, and my husband’s mom, and you could tell everybody felt confident and beautiful. Her assistant did an incredible job on their hair, also. My sister-in-law said that she liked her hair better for our wedding than she did at her own wedding.
Listen, your wedding day is one day when your vision for yourself should be reality. You should feel confident and stunning. Sara Bain is a sweet, sassy, and talented stylist who will never make you regret hiring her. She is amazing, and even though my wedding is over and done, I can’t quit her.
