Sara was the best stylist I could have asked for! She was so personable and helpful at my wedding hair trial, and she arrived early and on time for the wedding day-off. All my bridesmaids and the two mothers loved her and loved their hair after sitting in her chair. I chose a bouncy blowout for my wedding hair, and she taught my mother-in-law how to put the veil on for me when the time came, and gave us extra bobby-pins for that. My hair stayed all night, even through hours of dancing, and everyone's hair looked amazing in the pictures. Book Sara if you're looking for a timely, sweet, and professional hair stylist for your otherwise hectic day! Absolutely 20/10 recommend!

Sara did mine and all my bridesmaids hair for my wedding this past September. She is so talented and was able to replicate the look/vibe I wanted based on the photos I shared. She was super responsive during the planning process and got through all my bridesmaids in a timely manner. Highly recommend using her for your wedding! She's amazing!

Sara is the absolute best! For starters, she made scheduling hair and makeup with her seamless. She was punctual day of and most importantly I loved how my hair turned out - I showed her some inspo pictures and she exceeded my expectations. Sara is an incredible listener and really helps you figure out what you want. Sara also did my bridesmaids hair and makeup and they were very happy with the results! She’s so sweet and fun to talk to! Next time I have an event that I need hair and makeup for she will be my go to.
If you are a bride to be or just have an event to go to - you should 100% book Sara!!!

Sara is the real deal!
I was so happy to spend my wedding morning with her. She is so easy to talk to, super sweet, listens to what you want and executes flawlessly. For both my trial and the wedding day, (I even saw her for a blowout the day before, too) everything was spot on. I listened to her advice with various things and used her guidance. My bridesmaids looked amazing, too! I could not have asked for a better gal to be hanging out with on my wedding day. Thank you, Sara!!

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 hair 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.

Sara did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup! I don’t normally wear a lot of makeup or do my hair with any sort of regularity and Sara was able to make me look gorgeous while still looking like myself. She was able to make me feel comfortable in all of my choices and really seemed to get the natural look I was going for without any sort of judgement. After the trial where she got to know me and do a quicker version of both hair and makeup and it still lasted all day, I knew she was going to do a great job the day of. She created a day of schedule for us that didn’t start too early and we were all easily done earlier than anticipated. She and her assistant Vika did an amazing job on the bridesmaid’s hair and makeup, being organized, and they were just fun to hang out with as well. Thanks so much for all that you did!

Sara did an absolute wonderful job on my wedding day. She very lovingly talked me out of the original hairstyle I wanted (she knew it wouldn’t last the whole night) and I couldn’t be more thankful that she was honest and shared her expertise with me. I loved what she came up with and she made me feel so beautiful on my special day!

Sara is incredibly talented! I had my dream hair and make-up for my wedding day. I received endless compliments. It was nice to do a trial one beforehand too, to make sure we were on the same page. The other girls she brought from salon did hair and make up for my bridal party and everyone looked absolutely beautiful. Thank you Sara and Oliver Simone for helping make my day the best ever!

Sara and team were absolutely incredible!!! They were amazing to work with and super flexible with last minute adds and changes! I loved my hair and makeup and truly felt beautiful and confident the entire day! I came into this as a bride who had no idea what I wanted or liked, Sara took one look at my wedding dress, got inspired, and made me into the most magical whimsical princess ever!!! I’m extremely grateful that Sara and team were a part of my special day! She worked with each bridesmaids and moms to get exactly what they wanted and all looked beautiful! Sara is beyond sweet and I loved working with her! Each person she brought was extremely talented and kind, they worked hard to meet a strict deadline, and arrived early to be ready to go when all 12 of us got there! I highly recommend Sara for all things hair and makeup for weddings!!

Sara is a divine artist and stylist to work with for weddings! She is a seasoned on-site hair stylist and makeup artist who knows how to deliver what her clients want. When I went to the salon for a trail, I didn’t have any makeup inspiration photos on hand, but after explaining I wanted a neutral look that made me look glamorous, she painted my face up perfectly. As someone who doesn’t wear makeup regularly, I was so impressed by her interpretation of what I explained. When I showed her photos of my dream hair at the trial, she was only able to partially mock it up, but suggested that a cut with added layers would do the trick. Since my trail was the day of my bachelorette party, she disassembled the hairstyle and gave me some great curls for my night on the town. Her willingness to travel to us was so convenient for us, and Sara is incredibly organized. The week before the wedding, she reached out to me to inquire about who would be getting makeup and hair done in the bridal party, so she could quickly create a detailed schedule/timeline of who would be getting hair and makeup done. This helped make the process go smoothly the morning of our wedding. When I showed her my dream hairstyle the day of once again after I cut my hair the way she suggested, she delivered! Sara and her team of assistants were seriously incredible. My bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law all looked stunning, and I felt like the most glamorous bride ever. She’s won The Best of the Knot Weddings for a reason; she’s sweet and stylish and you won’t regret having her glam up you and your squad!

Sara was a pleasure to work with. We had her and my hairstylist over to my house the morning of my wedding, and she did such an amazing job for me, plus five bridesmaids and my mom. Everyone loved how theirs turned out, and I kept getting compliments on my makeup throughout the night! Would definitely recommend Sara to other brides in the area.

Sara did makeup for myself, bridal party and mom on my wedding day and was AMAZING!!! She is so sweet and really listened to what I wanted to look like on my wedding day. She worked with all the girls to make sure everyone was comfortable with their makeup and most importantly, my very particular mom was so happy with her makeup and Sara took great care of her as well. She even went with false eyelashes :-) My makeup looked amazing all night long, even after several hours of tears and dancing. I highly recommend Sara!

Sara made one of the most important days of my life, one of my most beautiful days of my life. I could have not asked for a more caring, reassuring, remarkable hair and makeup artist. She made me look and feel like the princess I had dreamt of being on my wedding day. She was so patient during my wedding trial and took into consideration every detail about what I wanted. When the real day arrived , everything about my hair and makeup were flawless. Sara is an amazing artist with such a caring heart. Thank you Sara
