Movie star hair, exactly what I asked for. Sarah was great to work with and did the most timeless and perfect style for the big day.
I can’t say enough good things about Sarah! She arrived right on time, was so friendly and easy to be around, and made the whole day feel relaxed and fun. Everyone in the bridal pa...
rty absolutely loved their hair, and she took her time to make sure each person was completely happy with their look. When my flower girl’s crown arrived from the florist and it didn’t look quite right, she quickly improvised and used baby’s breath from a vase we had sitting out instead—it turned out absolutely perfect! She even stayed until the very last minute to help me attach my veil before heading out. Her attention to detail and creativity throughout the day showed just how skilled she is at her craft and how much she cares about her brides. HIGHLY recommend!!!
I am so lucky that I even found Sarah through a recommendation AND that she was available on short notice for an elopement in Wrightsville Beach. I truly thought I’d have to do my ...
own hair, but Sarah was so flexible and supportive throughout the whole process. She was so kind, and her energy was exactly what I needed on my wedding day. Everyone’s hair looked incredible and she stayed on schedule, which is impressive on its own. From the very first moment we talked, Sarah completely understood my vision and LISTENED to every bit of feedback. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone who listens!
BOOK HER IN NORTH CAROLINA!!! Sarah is seriously the best! I was a little confused because it says she's from the Boston area but Sarah did my wedding in North Carolina! We did the...
trial in Wilmington then she traveled to Ocean Isle Beach for the wedding. Her communication was great the entire time too. My hair was absolutely gorgeous! I did the classic Hollywood curls, and they lasted all night! And we were on the beach. I was nervous knowing there might be a lot of wind but my hair didn't go anywhere!
Sarah was amazing! She did wedding updos for me, my mom, my aunt and my bridesmaids - and everyone looked beautiful! She had everyone bring photos for inspiration and then she brou...
ght them all to life. I did a trial with Sarah a few months in advance so I knew I’d be happy with my hair on the day of the wedding - and I was not disappointed! And while Sarah is undoubtedly talented, she is also a fun person to be around while you’re getting ready! I’m so happy she was a part of my wedding day. Thank you Sarah!
Sarah and her team are absolutely amazing!!! They are so meticulous in the way they style your hair. I wanted a look that did not feel stiff, but also didn’t fall apart quickly, an...
d she absolutely nailed it. Everyone looked gorgeous from the bridesmaids to the mothers. I would highly recommend!
Sarah was amazing and I am so happy I found her to do my wedding hair! We had a large group- and some thick hair- to work with, but she was so pleasant and cheery the entire time. ...
She kept everyone moving, but was calm and flexible. I also had to postpone a year and Sarah was incredibly patient and easygoing about moving everything. Everyone got so many compliments on their hair and I LOVED my bridal hair! Thank you Sarah!!
Sarah is not only so talented and amazing at what she does - she is also such a pleasure to work with and be around! She and her team took care of 13 of us (!!) the morning of my w...
edding and I was so impressed. Her patience, timeliness, and organization helped to make what could have been utter chaos feel completely seamless. Everyone was SO happy with how their hair turned out - and we had some picky people in this bunch!
As for me, I don't think I've ever loved my hair more. I showed Sarah an inspiration photo and what she did exceeded my wildest expectations. I appreciated that she not only honored my wishes, but also came with her own perspective and opinion based on her experience that really helped elevate the look. I would recommend Sarah for not only weddings but ANY special event and I hope I have an excuse to work with her again! <3
Sarah was amazing for my wedding in January!! I had found her as a referral on a Facebook bride group and immediately knew I would be hiring her. From the very beginning communicat...
ion was excellent. She was happy to work with my crazy schedule to book my consultation. She then gave me all the time I needed to work and rework what I wanted my wedding hair to look like. I felt like she really listened to my vision and worked to achieve it. I left the consultation feeling amazing. My wedding day was no different. I was incredibly impressed with not only how my hair came out for the wedding, but how long it lasted considering my hair is impossible to curl. I’m so happy with how it looked. If you’re looking for someone who will listen and make you look amazing, then you’re found your gal!!
Sarah is absolutely fabulous! My hair was literally the only thing I knew I didn’t have to worry about during the stressful process of a COVID wedding! She did such a beautiful job...
and did so much to make me feel comfortable and confident with the style I’d chosen. When my MIL decided last minute she wanted her hair done as well, she rolled with it and we couldn’t have been happier with the results! A true professional and an artist, and I would highly recommend her to any bride to be!!
Sarah is incredible! I loved working with her. Super patient, on time, and we all looked amazing all night! Don't hesitate to reach out to her!
Sarah is INCREDIBLE!!!! She did my wedding day hair and it was perfection. It held all night, was literally exactly what I asked for, and photographed so beautifully. My hair was a...
big part of why I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. On top of all of that, Sarah is such a fun, kind, and caring person so it was so nice to have her there to put me at ease on a very high stress day. You will not be disappointed with her services and I would rebook her for ANY event in a second!!
Having Sarah do my hair for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made. She was the very first vendor I hired after a recommendation from a friend and I am SO happy I did. Whe...
n we had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID 19, she was so gracious and kind, pivoting the plans and helping me out every step of the way. She also helped me make a timeline. She did my hair this year for our "microwedding", with no trial and having never met me or worked with my hair - only photos. Not only is she the BEST to hang out with, but my hair came out PERFECT. She absolutely nailed my vision and I loved the beachy waves so, so much. I would hire her a million times if I could and I can't wait to have her do my hair again next year!
Sarah and her team are so talented and made my crew and I look so beautiful on my big day! Extremely friendly and bubbly personality. Show her a picture of the look you are tryin...

My schedule was restrictive as I was living overseas before my wedding but Sarah fitted me in for a trial run during a trip home. My wedding was consequently postponed due to Covid...
, but Sarah did a more modest but beautiful up-do for my mini-mony this year. She is passionate about her work, knows how to listen to her client’s needs, and moreover is fun and friendly. 100% recommend Sarah!
Sarah helped me create my dream hairstyle for my wedding day! I did the trial with her which was really helpful then the day of the wedding I wanted a few tweaks and the day of the...

Sarah did my hair as well as all my bridesmaids hair for our September 2020 wedding. She was absolutely amazing. Her laid back, adaptable personality took pressure off our already ...
stressful wedding planning during this time of Covid, canceling and replanning of a micro-wedding. She took Covid health and safety precautions seriously, wearing a mask the entire time. I knew I wanted a very simple, elegant, low bun and she absolutely nailed it. All the girls’ hair looked beautiful and my one friend who has very straight hair normally was so impressed that her curls stayed in the whole night! Would highly recommend Sarah!
Sarah is amazing! She did my wedding hair along with my entire bridal party. She is upbeat and fun and was VERY accommodating with our changes related to COVID. Everyone looked ama...

my dreams and also gave beautiful styling to my sister and mother. She was so friendly and fun to have around on the day of and everyone loved their hair! I can't say enough good things, I would definitely recommend booking with Sarah!
Sarah is insanely dedicated to creating the wedding look you’ve envisioned for not only yourself but for your entire bridal party (no matter how many trials or hours it takes)! Sar...
ah is so highly skilled, knowledgable of hair products and has an amazing personality to boot. My mother and I have completely different hair types and were both interested in hair extensions for the big day- she gave us each specific brand recommendations and even spent time helping us color match at my first trial. We then saw her for an additional trial with our purchased extensions and she went above and beyond, offering to cut my mom’s extensions to a shorter length right then and there. I loved that even before meeting her, she wanted to see the look I had in mind and then throughout the process was messaging me with additional ideas of how to make my look even better! All of my girls had flawless hair that stayed intact throughout the whole wedding, and my mom’s hair had never looked SO GOOD! You will not be disappointed investing your money in Sarah. I would absolutely recommend her time and time again and would love to use her myself in the future!
Second time having Sarah do my hair. She did it for 1st wedding and this time it was again perfect. Such a great stylist!
A Super Deluxe Hairstylist, and a warm, sincere, young lady.
I grew up with Sarah and after high school I wound up moving to New Hampshire and we just sorta lost touch. Last New Years Eve I got engaged to my long time love. He too knew Sara...
h throughout high school and had recently run into her in Boston. She told him of her styling business and he in turn told me. It was such a pleasant surprise to get back in touch with her and an even more pleasant surprise to see what she could do with my hair, as well as with my attendants'. Marvelously talented, and still a great friend. Love ya Sarah.
Red Carpet Ready by Sarah is a bargain at twice the price. Talented, dependable and truly fashion aware.
Kudos to my mom for finding such a talented hair stylist. I work 60+ hours per week and have relied on my mother for so much of my wedding planning. She totally came through when ...
she found Sara. She is upbeat, on point and a true professional. There were some crazy last minute changes in our wedding plans (long story) but Sara adapted to the situation like a true professional. Love you Sara. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding.
What a warm, sincere, amazingly creative stylist. All of my bridesmaids, myself, along with my mom and aunt, felt like movie stars with our new "do's". Great stylist!!!
TALENTED, TALENTED, TALENTED, NOT MENTION EXTRA TALENTED!!!
Sarah did mine as well as the love of my life, Lena's hair. Lena drove up from Provincetown at my request to meet with Sarah for I knew she would soon know how very talented this ...
young stylist is. We had our consultation with Sarah and both walked out congratulating ourselves on the great find I (humbly speaking) had made for our ceremony. Neither of us has a lot of hair but thankfully Sarah has a great deal of talent. We both looked and felt great on our day and our styles lasted for as long as we were up and standing (many hours after the ceremony took place. We both strongly and unequivocally recommend Red Carpet Ready by Sarah.
Just call me Lucky. I luckily got the best husband, I found the greatest gown (considering my budget) and Sarah was available to do my hair for my wedding. She fortunately had an...
other wedding in Newport, RI that weekend but not on the same day as mine so as my luck would have it, she was able to do my hair. So thankful for all of the above!!
Having read the impressive reviews posted for Red Carpet Ready by Sarah I was anxious to travel to Watertown, MA from my home in Newport, RI to see what see could do for me. The tr...
ip was so worth it. We viewed a few pictures I had brought with me to give Sarah an idea of what I was looking for. She was very honest when viewing them, expressing her professional opinion on which would work for me and why some of them just weren't really going to. She then created each of the two I chose from her recommendations and the hard part at that time was which I wanted the most. It was a really had decision for I loved them both. Sarah said lets see if I can "combine" the best of each....and she did!!! I nearly cried, and my mom actually did.
Thank you Sarah. You should call your business "Red Carpet Ready by the Amazing Sarah".
With Sarah's talent I would be willing to bet she could make a bald person look good. For my wedding Sarah worked on a variety of ethnic, lengths and types of requested styles. I...
n each case she made each of us look our very best. Her talent with hair is matched by her ability to seem totally at ease while those around her are not. Her experience definitely shows and is to be totally appreciated. We love you Sarah and will be seeing you soon at Shelby's as well as Joan's wedding.
Sarah is the nicest, fun, and talented of all those we hired for our wedding. My fiancé( at that time) accompanied me to my consultation with Sarah. By the time it was over we wo...
und up inviting her to our wedding. Regretfully she had another wedding party to do the same day as ours so she wasn't going to be able to make it.
Myself and the others in my group had a really wide variety of hair textures as well as lengths. No problem for Sarah. All of us danced till pretty late and when it was all over, each of us still looked like Sarah had just finished us.
5 stars for Red Carpet Ready by Sarah
Being a wedding planner as well as an exceptionally pleased client, I have seen Sarah do probably over 75+ women and younger.
Her talent is obvious, seeing she has won "best of" o...
n The Knot seemingly forever as well as on Wedding Wire. She is equally warm, friendly, and just a pleasure to do business with. She is punctual, adaptable and totally dependable. I always look forward to seeing her and watching her do her thing, make females look their very best.
I know that my sister has already written a review for Red Carpet Ready by Sara, but based upon what she was able to do with my extra thin hair, I figured she deserves another one ...
from me. My sister told Sara at her consultation about my problem hair. Sara suggested that extensions might be an easy option. She told my sister to have me call her and set up a short consult so as to see if extensions were really an option. I did and "Ta Da", she made them work perfectly. Thank you Sara. You are the best!
Surprisingly I "stumbled" upon Sarah by meeting her at a anniversary party we had both been invited to. I was in the process of seeking a hairstylist for my wedding, saw her, and ...
I simply had to ask who she had do her hair. Her reply, "I do my own hair". I had to ask again because it was seemingly impossible that anyone could do her own hair in such an elaborate and glamorous way. It was gorgeous. She then handed me her card for Red Carpet Ready by Sarah. Obviously I thought that if she could do that to her own hair I wanted to see what she could do with mine. I immediately booked a trail with her in her home/salon.
I had no set idea of what I wanted so I told her to just do her own thing. She nailed it the very first time. She said we could look at other styles if I wished but I couldn't see how we could have done better.
She repeated it perfectly on my big day, along with two junior bridesmaids and my mother-in-law to be. I highly recommend Sarah at Red Carpet Ready for any styling need. She is awesomely awesome!!!
Sarah is as warm, poised, and talented young woman. From my trail to the completion of myself and six bridesmaids, two grandmothers and two moms, she never stopped smiling, comfort...
ing a few very nervous bridesmaid (ok, me too). She arrived exactly on time and without any difficulty somehow worked her magic on myself, and all the others. From up do's, to braids, to my finicky mom, each of us were totally satisfied with are hair.
Word to the wise, book her early so she is available to do for you what she did for all of us.
Sarah has once again proven to me that she is a remarkably talented stylist. Having been a bridesmaid for three of my bestest friends there was never any doubt about who I HAD to h...
ave do my hair for my wedding. Each time Sarah has done my hair she has "switched up" what she had done previously and all four times I and all around just marvel at her ability. Of course her bright and bubbly personality adds an extra level of comfort for all in such a hectic time prior to the ceremony. KUDOS TO THIS AWESOME STYLIST AND PERSON!!
Sarah is an exceptional hair stylist! She expertly executed my wedding updo as well hairstyles for 6 ladies in my bridal party on my wedding day. My wedding hair trial was so beaut...
iful but I requested more volume for the wedding day—my hair isn’t very voluminous, but she is a pro and spent so much time crafting my updo to make it look exactly how I envisioned. Each of the women in my bridal party have different length, texture, and style hair and she transformed their hair into beautiful styles that lasted all day & evening. She is so professional, patient, and so much fun! I definitely recommend booking her for your wedding or any special event!!
Working with Sarah was fantastic! I did my research to hire someone who was really talented with hair styling specifically (vs. those who did hair and makeup), and someone who woul...
d travel to do hair for me and my bridesmaids on-site. Sarah really delivered; she brought my vision to life, and worked with me when I needed to tweak some aspects of the style I wanted. I highly recommend hiring her for your big day!
Ladies, look no further if you are looking for a hair stylist for your big day! Sarah is the absolute best!!! For my first hair trial, she advised that I would need to get extensi...
ons if I wanted to achieve the look that I had picked. She was so accommodating to do another trial after I ordered the extensions. She also did a hair trial for my mum which made her feel super comfortable the day of the wedding already knowing that Sarah is amazing at doing hair. Sarah is so talented. I couldn't have been happier with how my hair turned out the day of my wedding :) She made my vision of how I would look that day come to life. My 7 bridesmaids also adored her. She is the utmost professional and so personable! Thank you for everything, Sarah!!!
Myself (the bride), all 8 bridesmaids, and 2 flower girls all loved our hair for the wedding day! Sarah was amazing, worked quickly and efficiently so we could be done in time and ...
made everyone’s hair look amazing! I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a hairstylist for their big day.
After an intense search for a makeup/hair combo and a disappointing trial with someone else, I was ecstatic to discover and book Sarah for my wedding. She is incredibly kind, tale...
nted, and professional, and my hair was exactly as I wanted it on my wedding day. She was calm and focused in the face of an aggressive day-of schedule with my squad, and was a joy to hang out with. Her prices are very reasonable, and she will go above and beyond for you. Book her for your date now, before someone else does!
First and foremost, if I could give Sarah more stars, I would, because 5 stars DEFINITELY aren't enough. She is such a positive, professional yet super super fun and amazingly tal...
ented stylist. I'm anxious by nature and the moment I met Sarah I knew I was in great hands. She listened to every wish or concern, gave me exactly what I was hoping for at my trials and was never once intimidated by my super long hair or my sheer anxiety. The day of my wedding I watched her transform the hair of 4 of my bridesmaids with what I can only assume was pure magic, and my matron of honor even said she wished she booked Sarah for her own wedding! With my own wedding day hair, I got the dreaded humid/rainy May day, but you would have never guessed with how Sarah transformed my hair. I never ONCE checked my hair during the entire 6 hour reception and I am someone who CONSTANTLY has to check their hair (yay anxiety). Photo after photo and hour after hour, I had dream wedding hair thanks to this phenomenal stylist and I never would have imagined being that care-free on such a big day being the type of person I am. I really can't thank her enough!!!
Sarah is PHENOMENAL! On the day of my trial, I simply showed her an image of what I pictured for my hair- she looked at it and replicated the look perfectly! She has a photographic...
memory:) My updo lasted about 12 hours and it was comfortable (not too tight). As for my mother and bridesmaids, she was able to style thin straight hair as well as curly hair- Sarah’s talent is versatile! Her bubbly personality makes her seem like a friend you have had for years! Sarah has my highest recommendation.
Sarah came highly recommended by our make-up artist and we are so thankful we found her. Sarah did a fantastic job getting to know each girl and her stylistic ideas. Sarah took h...
er time with each girl, but also kept things on track, ensuring al 7 girls were ready in plenty of time for the ceremony. Sarah did wedding attendant, and mom’s hair for a two grooms wedding so we do not have a “bridal” perspective, but if the work she did with our wedding attendants is any indication of what she can do with a bride’s hair, you will not be disappointed. Each girl was thrilled with how their hair came out and the end result was a stunning wedding party to celebrate our day. Sarah was organized, professional, and truly an artist and we would highly recommend her to anyone needing a hair stylist for any event.
Sarah did an absolutely amazing job on my hair/my bridesmaids hair on my wedding day. I'm very particular and she delivered exactly what I was looking for. She's super nice and dow...
n to earth and very talented. Everyone in my bridal party was so happy with how their hair came out. Thank you Sarah!
Believe every review/recommendation about Red Carpet Ready by Sarah. That’s all I need to say.
Sara is a pleasure to have by your side as you prepare on your wedding day. I felt completely at ease that morning for I felt an immediate connection during my consult with her and...
was excited to see my bridesmaids faces as she work on them and how happy I knew they would be with the resultant hairstyle Sara would come up with or perform. She just kind of breezes along while turning out styles on everyone. I'm sure she was as pleased as I was that morning for she was able to book another date from one of my bridesmaids for her wedding next March. Thanks from all of us Sarah.
First of all Sarah's skill is amazing. Her experience surely shows why she has been chosen "Best of" by The Knot for so many years. (She has her awards modestly on display in the s...
alon area in her apartment.)
From my first phone conversation, to our trial/consultation, to her completing my wedding attendants and my hair, Sarah was warm, patient, and so easy to work with. I truly had no idea of the style I wanted other than it be an "updo" that would last throughout the ceremony, reception and smaller private gathering after. It seemed like Sarah "knew" my hair and what would look best and last the longest. I know now that she is so deserving of each of her awards and the recognition she has attained.
I highly recommend Red Carpet Ready by Sarah and hope that she is available for your special date.
