Sara was a dream to work with. She did the makeup for my sisters wedding and I knew I had to have her for my wedding! She makes you feel comfortable and listens to everything you want. She’s a 10/10!!
Working with Sara was fantastic!! I knew the moment I stepped into my trial that I was in good hands. Sara is professional yet super sweet and supportive. I showed her many (maybe too many!) inspo photos and she helped guide me to what would be best with my hair type and vibe I was going for.
The day of, Sara was very prompt and all my bridesmaids loved working with her as did I.
Thank you so much, Sara, for making my day so special!!
I would absolutely recommend Sara and her team for your hair/makeup needs!! I am beyond grateful that I had them on my wedding day! I had 7 bridesmaids and myself all getting hair and makeup done, so there were a lot of people to fit in on the day of, and they handled it perfectly! All my bridesmaids were thrilled with how their hair and makeup came out, as was I. The bridal makeup Sara did for me was elegant, natural, and stayed on all night. Laura was especially flexible in helping me tweak the hairstyle from what I had done on the trial, and offered such grounding support in making sure I was feeling at ease with the change! Felt so lucky to have found Sara and her team!
Loved the work Sara and her team did for my wedding day! Sara did my make up and Laura did my hair and I absolutely loved it! Sara brought a team with her to work through my bridal party which included 5 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, and 1 flower girl and we were done ahead of schedule! All involved loved their hair and make up! They made the whole morning such a wonderful experience and also they provide great background music while they work! :) Highly Recommend for any event you have to use Sara and her team!
Sara is absolutely amazing!! I wanted to look like the best version of myself and she helped bring my vision to life! All of the bridesmaids got so many compliments on their makeup at the wedding - and it lasted all night! She even played along with the flower girl "doing" everyones hair and makeup. I couldn't have asked for a better hair and makeup team!! Thank you Sara!
Sara did makeup for me and my bridesmaids and she was truly amazing!! I loved my look and it lasted all night through the sweat and tears. She really listened to what I wanted and went above and beyond to deliver. On top of that, she and Laura are the sweetest people and made the getting ready process so relaxing and fun! I highly recommend her and her team, you won’t regret it!
I cannot recommend Sara and her team enough! From the dress rehearsal to the wedding day, they made me feel truly beautiful inside and out. Their attention to detail and willingness to listen ensured I absolutely loved my look, and they were so kind and accommodating to my bridal part as well. They created a calm but fun atmosphere, which made the entire experience even more special. Plus, their pricing was so reasonable for the incredible work they did! If you want a talented and thoughtful team for your big day, this is who you should hire.
AMAZING - Sara is such a genuine and kind person. She listens to what you want and is very flexible with any changes you want to make. All 6 of my bridesmaids were SO happy with their hair on my big day - no adjustments or changes needed to be made because Sara listens to what you'd like and executes the style to perfection! Would recommend her to anyone getting married who wants to work with a genuine, kind, and amazingly talented human. 10/10!
Sara and Laura were AMAZING. From the second I booked them through the end of my wedding it was perfection. They took their time to get to know me and what I wanted and were super open to feedback, which was barely needed because they really know what they are doing. My make up lasted until our the end of our after party and my hair didn't move once. They are so skilled and SO KIND. They made getting ready so fun, it was like they were 2 more of my bridesmaids. I was so blown away with how well thy were able to adjust to each of us on the spot and know what would work and what wouldn't. If you want 2 new besties, I highly recommend them!!
My wedding was this weekend and I used Sara Julianna for hair and makeup. Her and her team were incredible to work with and really brought my vision to life. Everyone in my party loved their hair and makeup, including my cousin who is a hairstylist herself! Sara is so sweet, flexible and simply amazing to work with. She really was so excited for me! Highly recommend!
Sara was such a pleasure to work with! This was my 3rd time experiencing her professionalism & interacting with her - my 2 best friends both used her for their weddings too! The trial was awesome - we worked out exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. The day of my wedding she was on time, communicative & a joy to be around. I couldn’t have been happier with her & her team & my wedding day hair was flawless. Thank you!
Sara & Laura did such a fabulous job on hair and makeup for my wedding!! They were professional and organized, and at the same time brought really fun energy and good vibes to the process. We had so much fun hanging and chatting during the trial and on Wedding Day! Sara nailed the soft makeup look I wanted and Laura worked with me on hair as I changed my mind, and then changed my mind again! My mom, MOH, and both grandmas all looked stunning. I was so happy with my experience and would 100% recommend! ❤️
Sara and her team were the best! Her sweet and fun personality made you feel right at home the moment you met her. She nailed the look I was going for and I've never felt prettier! She was professional, helpful, and extremely talented. My mom was a bit weary at first to get her makeup done but Sara made her feel very comfortable about her decision and she was thrilled with the final look!! We all had the best time getting ready with Sara on the wedding day. Book her for all your wedding makeup needs!!
Sara provided an excellent makeup service for my wedding in October! She was so easy to hangout with and provided flawless and natural looking styles for myself, my girls, my mother in law and step mother. Everyone was very happy with their looks! Sara was totally cool with wearing some shadow colors from my personal makeup which really made me feel my best. I had a great makeup trial with her months prior to my wedding, I knew exactly the few changes I wanted to make for my big day and Sara delivered! I'm so thankful that my wedding planner found her!
Sara and her team are some of the most incredible, genuine, and fun makeup artists to have start your wedding day with. From the moment I did my trial I knew I made the right decision! Sara has a passion for makeup and truly loves what she does. She was bubbly and ready to have a good time as she turned me into the most beautiful version of myself on wedding day. Not only did I feel like royalty, every single bridesmaid absolutely loved their makeup. She listened to different wants and needs and enhanced everyone’s true beauty. I would recommend Sara Julianna Beauty over and over agin!!
As someone who wears minimal makeup and rarely styles her hair, I was nervous about finding a stylist for my wedding who would understand me. As soon as I saw Sara’s page and spoke to her, I knew she was the right choice. When I came in for my trial, she made me so comfortable and asked me questions about how I typically style my makeup, what I liked/didn’t like, etc. Since I don’t have much knowledge in that area, she really helped guide me and adjusted the process based on my feedback. When she was finished, I had never felt more beautiful. Her hairstylist Laura was just as fun and calming, listening to feedback and making suggestions on what I may like.
The day of the wedding was no different, and we had a great time chatting while all of the bridesmaids were getting their hair and makeup done. They both did an absolutely amazing job, not only with myself, but all of my bridesmaids. The next time I have a major event, I will definitely be reaching back out!
I had an amazing experience with Sara Julianna Beauty. I not only used Sara for my wedding, but also my engagement photos, bridal shower and rehearsal dinner. Each and every time I was blown away by her work. She really listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. She was so sweet, professional, worked with me when things changed due to weather and most of all made me extremely comfortable in her chair. I cannot recommend her and her team enough! I will be going to her for any future events.
I cannot say enough about how great it was working with Sara and Laura! All of this was new to me and right away I was comforted by Sara's sweet and supportive demeanor. She was extremely responsive (even while technically out on leave!) and worked with me to make sure I felt comfortable with the timeline and, most importantly, beautiful on my big day! She is the ultimate hype girl, super genuine, and incredibly talented - you almost forget that you're getting your glam makeup done professionally, in the best way! My husband also loved how I still looked like my natural self, just enhanced without being too caked on or dramatic, and Sara and Laura were both super responsive to any of my questions or feedback for my makeup and hair trials! Highly recommend these ladies!!
I had the pleasure of having Sara as my makeup artist for my wedding. Sara and her team also worked their magic on my bridesmaids. From our first meeting, I knew she was the right choice. Sara not only made me look stunning, but her professionalism and friendly nature made the experience so fun. Thanks to her, I felt like a princess on my special day. I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist. Sara, you made me look and feel truly beautiful.
Sara and her team were organized from start to finish. The timeline of which bridesmaid is going at which time and leaving time for buffers in between kept me so calm and relaxed that we would remain on schedule on my wedding day! The hair and make up trial was SO fun and definitely recommend doing it! We all felt like beauty queens on the way to the ceremony and it’s all because of Sara and her team of professionals! It was like a fun morning with some extra girlfriends and no stress whatsoever — recommend 100 times over and huge thank you!! xoxo Jessica LeClair
Sara and Dom did an amazing job for my wedding with hair and makeup and were so fun to talk to as well!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We will miss you both! Thank you so much!!!!!!! 💛
I am so happy we went with Sara for our bridal makeup! She did so good and my bridesmaids are still raving about their makeup! Sara made the whole process fun, easy and stress free! 10/10 would recommend! She was great!
We recently had Sarah provide makeup for 3 individuals including the bride. Our situation was a little different than most because our daughter Caitlin the bride had an intellectual disability. Sara was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we met at the makeup trial, she made Caitlin feel so special. She listened to exactly how she wanted her makeup done. Caitlin’s doesn’t normally wear makeup but she put her trust in Sara and she was stunning on her wedding day. In fact, the makeup lasted the entire evening. We all loved the way our makeup was done and we looked beautiful. One of the guests said she knew I had makeup on but I really still looked like myself. We received compliments all night. I don’t know if I can ever fully express how wonderful Sara is. She is one of God’s angels. Don’t hesitate calling her to have your makeup done for your wedding day or any other special occasion.
I am sooo incredibly glad I booked Sara Julianna Beauty for my wedding hair and make up!!! I had a great experience from my first inquiry to the second Sara and Laura sent me off to my wedding looking amazing! I was originally drawn to Sara Julianna because I am not a huge make up-wearer and I was definitely going for a more natural look. It was the perfect fit. I looked like an elevated version of myself.
During my trial I got to spend some quality time with Sara and Laura- they are so friendly, personable, and organized! They even gave me tips on how I can prepare my hair and skin in the weeks leading up to my wedding.
On the big day there were 10 of us who needed our hair and make up done (7 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and myself)- Sara sent me a fully organized schedule ahead of time, which put my chaotic wedding brain at ease.
Sara, Laura, Erika, and Melanie were the dream team- they were so much fun to hang out with, all of us had flawless hair and make up, and we wound up running 20 minutes ahead of schedule, like when does that ever happen??
I HIGHLY recommend booking Sara Julianna Beauty for your wedding hair and make up needs!
Sara and her team were absolutely a DREAM to work with. All of my bridesmaids and myself looks flawless, they came in, did hair and makeup for 10 girls in no time , and we all had a blast together!
My trial with Sara was phenomenal she worked with me to get an understanding of what I liked , didn't like, and even showed me two different hairstyles that I was considering. She really knows how to enhance and bring out your true beauty without making you look unnatural. I cannot say enough good things about her! I highly recommend Sara and her team !
Sara, Laura, and Dominique were super friendly and lovely to work with. My makeup look was exactly as I asked, and Sara provided recommendations and assistance for how to get my skin (sensitive and undergoing acne treatment) appropriately moisturized and exfoliated for the big day! Laura did an amazing job with my braid, somehow managing to make my hair look way more voluminous than it actually is without extensions. Not only were they super talented, but they were a lot of fun to have around and the entire wedding party was glad to have them day-of!
Sara was incredible! I came in with absolutely no ideas what to do, just told her a quick idea, and she made it come true! My makeup was subtle and beautiful. Sara and her colleague Laura made me, my family, and my bridesmaids so comfortable and were a hilarious addition to our morning getting ready. I would absolutely book her again!
Sara and her assistant on our day, Kirstie, did an absolutely incredible job. I did multiple trials, changed my mind, and switched things up soo many times and Sara was flexible throughout the entire process. She absolutely nailed the natural makeup look I wanted and my up-do barely moved all night :) I’m still getting compliments on how great my hair and makeup looked! Not only did I feel beautiful, but my mom, mother in law, and friends all felt and looked beautiful too. Sara is so talented and versatile and just an amazing person to work with! If you’re looking for a chic and natural look on your day - Sara is your girl!
I could not have been happier to have Sara do my hair for my wedding. From beginning to end between texts, inspo pics, 2 trials and my wedding day, she was absolutely amazing! I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted and Sara was so supportive and knowledgeable and was so patient with me to get the look I was going for. My bridesmaids also loved their hair and she was able to do all of the styles they wanted. I received so many compliments on my hair and it stayed in place the entire night. Sara is very talented at what she does and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her if you’re looking for the perfect hair stylist!
Hurry up and book Sara NOW!! She is absolutely incredible! Sara and her team did makeup for my bridal party and I for my wedding in August 2022. Not only is she one of the kindest souls, she is a pro at nailing whatever look you're going for! She asks all the right questions and has such a calmness about her that she makes you feel comfortable, even if you're not well-versed in makeup. Her personable nature also makes it feel like you're having a casual conversation with a long time friend, making the stress and butterflies of your big day melt away. We were all blown away with how amazing our makeup came out and it honestly lasted ALL DAY! Can't thank her enough for making us feel so comfortable, special and glam :)
Such an amazing hair and makeup artist. Was so kind throughout the whole process, and my makeup looked perfect all day.
Sara and team was amazing. She made scheduling extremely easy and helped to make the morning go by with ease. They did a great job on my hair as well as all my bridesmaids. Would highly recommend.
I am so glad we booked Sara and her team for hair and makeup! I first met her while getting ready for my sister’s wedding in 2021. I knew that I wanted to book her for my wedding too! She was wonderful to work with–from our first initial email conversation, to the trials, to the actual wedding day. During my hair and makeup trial, Sara listened to exactly what I wanted for makeup (a natural look) and tried out two different styles for my hair. During the weeks leading up to the wedding, Sara created a detailed schedule for my group of 10 ladies. On the morning of the wedding, she and her team created such a calm and fun environment. They did a great job with our hair and makeup and stayed right on schedule! Sara Julianna Beauty will make you and your bridal party feel beautiful!
RUN don’t walk to book Sara for your wedding day hair and makeup!! Sara was the first vendor I booked for my wedding. She had done my cousins hair and make up for her wedding so when it came to be my time, it made my decision 10x easier and I’m so happy I did. She is not only an incredible person but so unbelievably talented. She truly feels like a friend, is easy to talk to and hang out with which is super important because you’re with eachother for the whole first half our your wedding day. My mom, MIL, and I did our hair and make up trial with Sara and were very pleased. If there was anything that you wanted tweaked or wasn’t fully satisfied with; she jotted down notes, listened to what you wanted and then delivered! She was so easy to work with all throughout the process which alleviates so much of the other stress that comes with being a bride. Her and her team arrived on time the day of the wedding, we’re extremely professional, and just fun to hangout with! Again, it was just like hanging out with girlfriends (can’t stress how important this is). All of my girls/family members that got services were beyond happy with the results. I 10/10 recommend Sara and her team, you will not be disappointed!!
Laura and Sara are the best hair and makeup duo. Laura did hair and Sara did makeup for myself and my wedding party.They are both absolutely AMAZING. Laura and Sara are both very responsive, kind, fun, professional, and knowledgeable. For makeup, I wanted natural but elegant. It was important that I still looked like myself. Sara did exactly this - my makeup was perfect and it lasted all night long. I had so many compliments! My makeup still looked perfect the next morning! Not only are Laura and Sara amazing at what they do, but they were so fun to have as a part of my wedding day! We had so much fun getting ready with them and they really made the long getting ready process so enjoyable. I have also been in wedding parties as a bridesmaid with Laura and Sara as our Hair and Makeup team and they continue to be amazing! Because of the size of my wedding party, we also had the pleasure of Mel and Amanda doing some of the girls' hair and makeup. Everyone looked stunning.
Sara and her team were absolutely amazing! Not only did they capture the natural, bohemian look I was going for PERFECTLY, but they were fun, kind and made me feel comfortable and at ease when I was a complete nervous wreck getting ready. My bridesmaids were all so happy with how they looked as well- everyone was stunning! Could not recommend them more!
Sara was absolutely amazing to work with! Very communicative, kind and of course super talented. My wedding day ended up being close to 90 degrees and pictures were outside. My makeup stayed the entire day and night and Sara even gave me extra lipstick and some matte powder to use throughout the day. The moms and bridesmaids looked amazing. She was also VERY patient and accommodating to the entire bridal party. Would definitely recommend her and her counterpart Laura (for hair) for your wedding!
I cannot thank Sara and Laura enough! They were awesome! Both are very sweet! They make everything very easy! mine and my bridal party's make up was the best! We all loved our look. I would definitely recommend them to do your make up !! I will definitely be using them in the future!
I can not thank Sara and her colleagues (Laura, Cait, and Whitney) for their part in my special day! From the first consultation meeting Sara made me feel comfortable. Then fast forward to my trial with my mom and Mother in law. Sara spent a lot of time discussing what we want and was very patient with us. She made changes on the fly and didn’t stop until we were happy. She is very organized and creates a schedule which made the morning flow seamlessly. Day of my mother in law decided she wanted something different from her trial, and Sara was able to execute exactly what she wanted and was able to recreate mine and my moms look from our trial. She uses high end products that didn’t make me feel sticky or Cakey. I truly felt so beautiful. Her team also was magical and was able to create the look each of my bridesmaids wanted, from a more natural look to full on glam. My entire party was very happy with the results. I highly recommend Sara and hope I can work with her again in the future because I had such a great experience!
I just cannot recommend Sara enough! I am so happy that I booked her for my wedding hair. As a curly bride, I was so nervous about finding the right person. Sara did an absolutely beautiful job with my hair. I loved it so much. I wish she could do my hair everyday. It stayed throughout the whole day and night and did not get frizzy which was a first for me. My mom and bridesmaids also loved their hair which was important to me. Sara is also just so kind and was a pleasure to be around. I highly recommend her. Thank you Sara!
Sara made me comfortable from day one. She is prompt with responses and answering the 100 questions I had. She was reassuring and supportive when we had to postpone a year due to the shut down. Everything was laid out and clear cut and incredibly organized which for me, an anxious and neurotic planner was exactly what I needed to remain calm. While these things are very important to stressed out brides, what really makes the difference is how easy it is to get along and talk to Sara and her team. From my first consultation to the day of the wedding Sara and her team (we had Amanda- Amazing!) were positive, enthusiastic, and real. They fit in with my bridal party so well that there was never a dull or awkward moment. We had a great time chatting while getting glammed up. Sara and Amanda were stellar in making sure we knew the lengths they went to to make sure things were clean and sanitized and to talk through tips, tricks, and ideas for each of my bridesmaids. Everyone looked amazing for the entire day, not a loose hair style or smudged make up to be seen. I could go on and on but it comes down to the simple fact that you cannot go wrong with choosing Sara for your hair and make up!
I CANNOT express enough how grateful I am for Sara! I knew right away from the trial that I made the best decision. Not only is she just the sweetest, friendliest person- she is the MOST TALENTED. She made my vision even better then what I thought it could be!!! All of our hair and makeup was stunning! When I tell you she is the best, there really isn’t anyone better to make you look and feel incredible. If you want the most amazing services with the coolest hair and makeup stylist BOOK BOOK BOOK her for any event! My bridesmaids and I loved every second we spent with her and Melanie- literally still talking about how much we loved them.
Sara, I really can’t thank you enough. Thank you for making me feel so beautiful and just being you! When I look back on our special day you were indeed a huge part of it!!!
Sara was amazing! She was responsive and informative leading up to the day and for the day of exceeded my expectations! She did all of our hair and everyone was raving about it. She is so sweet and knows what she's doing! Wish I could use her all the time!
Sara was truly one of my favorite vendors to work with. She was so incredibly kind and flexible throughout the process. We had to postpone our original wedding date 2x and each time she was able to accommodate us. I found her prices to be fair and fit within our budget. I specifically appreciated the lengths she went to ease our mind regarding cleaning and disinfecting of makeup tools. She and Laura did such a beautiful job doing hair and makeup for myself and bridal party. They took the time and made sure to ensure that everyone was happy with how their hair/makeup came out and was available for touch ups. They also helped me relax before the big day and I genuinely enjoy spending time with the both of them. I cannot recommend Sara Julianna and Laura enough for any hair/makeup needs.
Sara was legitly the best makeup artist that I've ever worked with. I am the type of person that does not wear a lot of makeup, but she really did a great job with my makeup. I truly recommend her, especially for someone that does not wear a lot of makeup. She knows what she is doing and she makes you look like yourself! I definitely embraced my looks for the wedding and I felt like myself
I can’t say enough amazing things about Sara and the girls, Dominique and Cait, who came to glam up my five bridesmaids, mother and I.
Firstly, the trails with Sara went smoothly and it was a easy choice as we planned to do the trails the day of my engagement shoot. Hair and makeup came out so great in the engagement photos and lasted all day that I knew I had to book Sara ASAP!
Then, Covid happened. Plans changed and had to postpone the wedding twice. Luckily, I was lucky to rebook with Sara who was so accommodating to the changes and patient while we received more info leading up to it and changed up my hairstyle ideas (cause when you have a lot of time, new ideas come with it lol).
Day of the wedding, all three ladies were on time and ready to go! They set up in almost no time and had us all done just in time. Sara has shared a schedule with me that I shared with my girls and it was so helpful. Definitely kept us on track! And before leaving, they did final touch ups and made sure we were perfect.
During the ceremony, it did end up raining unexpectedly for 10 minutes or less. And although my curls fell out a little from that and just sweat (it was a hot June day and I love to dance lol) everyone’s hair and makeup still looked good! We all checked each other and couldn’t believe how put together everything was! The wedding photos really don’t do justice with how good everything came out and how well it stood with the rain and dancing.
I’m so happy Sara was my first choice as she’s amazingly talented and one of the sweetest souls I’ve ever meet truly! If you haven’t considered reaching out to Sara already, I’d highly consider it. You won’t regret it.
Thank you times a million Sara🤍
Sara did my hair for my wedding, as well as the hair of 5 people in my wedding party, and did an incredible job. It was an updo and held up the whole night. She was so fun and bubbly and cheerful the day of, which was just the energy I needed. Thank you Sara!!
Where do I begin?! Booking Sara for my wedding makeup was one of the best decisions I made! She brought my vision to life and it came out even better than I dreamed of. I never felt more beautiful. Because of Sara I felt like my best self on my wedding day. All my bridesmaids raved about how stunning their makeup came out and how amazing Sara was day of (some of my bridesmaids are MUA themselves! so thats saying something). If you can make any decision for your wedding day - booked Sara Juliana Beauty for hair and makeup!
Sara was amazing, from start to finish. From the moment we spoke on the phone I could feel her excitement and her kindness and I knew I wanted that energy the day of my wedding. She was so easy to talk to, like a friend you've had for years. She was organized and responsive leading up an day of. When I went to her for my trial, I was just blown away, I felt beautiful and it all finally hit that I was getting married! Fast forward to day of....Sara had her itinerary ready to go as to who was going when and she made my girls, myself and my mother look phenomenal, she listened to what everyone wanted and made it happen. I could not imagine not having my day without her! I would highly recommend her for any beauty services, you will not be disappointed!
I cannot recommend Sara enough! She was wonderful to work with and felt like one of the girls - we were all laughing and sharing stories all morning! All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup! For me, finding someone who could do makeup as a glasses wearer AND hooded eye lids was KEY and Sara did an amazing job! My makeup lasted ALL night and I loved how natural it looked. One of my bridesmaids loved Sara and Laura so much that she booked them for her wedding too! 10/10 recommend - a must hire!
Sara was INCREDIBLE for many reasons. She was always available in helping us during the Covid-19 pandemic chaotic rescheduling. She also came to my house to give me and my daughter (the bride) a trial of hair and makeup and introduced a lot of her favorite products and took any questions we had and shared her opinions on all her products. She took notes!! She was so personable that we adored her immediately! On the morning of the wedding she showed up at my house at the earliest hour of 5:30 a.m. with a fabulous crew of young ladies to help the bridal party gals. They were all so professional and sweet and made us all feel great. Every one of us was so pleased with the results! Sara personally did myself and my daughter’s hair and makeup and we were made to look like princesses! I personally felt like a queen! Sara was a HUGE part of making our wedding day a success! I recommend Sara for any occasion where you want to feel and look like a princess…or a queen!

Sara was INCREDIBLE. Everything from the trial to the wedding day went absolutely perfect! Not only is she a friendly bubbly awesome person to work with but she does great work! Before we met Sara we had had a previous bridal trial that went terrible. I definitely didn’t have high hopes going into it. I showed Sarah a couple photos and she literally did exactly what I wanted if not better than the photo I showed her! The day of the wedding everyone was extremely attentive and energetic which made getting ready at 6 AM a lot better! I highly recommend Sara and her team for any function you’re looking to get Beautiful for her because believe me you’ll feel incredible after she’s done with you!
I am SO happy I chose Sara and her team for my wedding on 7/31/21. She and her other artists are all so sweet and so accommodating to each of my 12 (!!!) girl's requests. I did a trial with Sara and loved what we settled on for hair and makeup, and then I completely switched it up the morning of my wedding and Sara had no problem with making my new look happen. It was PERFECT... natural looking yet I felt so beautiful for my day and my husband (!!) loved it too. All of my girls looked natural and stunning as well. Sara also trained my sister how to put on/take off my veil for later so I wouldn't mess up my hair. Love her! Thank you Sara and team!!!
Sara Julianna was the absolute best. From the minute I called her in January of 2021 (frantic about the pandemic/wondering if/how we'd have a wedding), she was calm, kind and professional. We talked through all the details and she totally put my mind at ease.
My mom, maid of honor and I did a trial at her New York studio and were so impressed by her patience and dedication to giving us the perfect look. I have naturally curly hair and was set on embracing the curls. She made my vision even better than what I could have imagined. If you're a curly girl and are nervous when any hair dresser touches your hair, you can 100% trust Sara.
The morning of the wedding, I had 9 bridesmaids, 2 moms, an aunt and a grandma all get hair/make up. Sara brought her team to our venue and everyone absolutely LOVED their looks (which is not always the case around a group of very opinionated women!!).
I would 100% recommend Sara and her team to anyone looking for beautiful hair and make up! <3
The Best!!
Sara did my hair and my bridal party's hair for my wedding on 5/15/21 and she was amazing!! From the moment I met Sara at my hair trial I knew she totally understood what I wanted on my big day! Everyone's hair came out perfectly -- exactly like the photos everyone showed Sara for inspiration! Our hair stayed beautiful all night (after lots and lots of dancing!) and my bridal party and I loved hanging out with Sara the morning of the wedding! She is very organized, professional, and stayed ahead of schedule all morning, which led to such an enjoyable, stress-free morning! On top of her obvious hair skills, she is also just the sweetest! Spending time with Sara felt like hanging out with someone I'd known my whole life! Her warm personality is infectious and set the tone for an incredible day! I felt totally at ease around Sara and couldn't be happier with how my wedding hair turned out :) Highly recommend!!!!
Amazing! Sara is so sweet and talented! Couldn’t have picked a better hair and makeup stylist for my wedding ♥️
I can’t say enough about Sara. So sweet and down to earth and so talented ! From the beginning of planning to the day of my wedding she was there for support. She made me feel so beautiful. I stressed to her that I wanted to look like myself on my wedding day and she nailed it. Her team the day of the wedding was awesome and calming. I would recommend Sara and her team to anyone !!
Sara is fantastic at what she does! After postponing and downsizing my wedding, I needed a new makeup artist after my original one fell through. Looking back, I'm honestly glad it worked out this way because Sara is so warm, friendly, and really talented. Through the trial and the wedding day, Sara was so attentive to my vision and made getting ready a lot of fun (we both love the same reality television so it was a blast to talk all about it!), and I really felt beautiful afterwards. Highly recommend Sara!
Selecting the right hair and makeup team for a wedding is even more important than I realized when I was helping to plan my daughter’s wedding. Of course you want the bride and her wedding party to look beautiful, to have a look that is as special as the day. However, I hadn’t really thought about the fact that the bridal party spends hours with this team on the day of the wedding. So these stylists contribute significantly to the day’s atmosphere. Sara Julianna and the two stylists who joined her to do hair and makeup for my daughter’s wedding helped to make the day a joyous one for all of us. They were very skilled at their craft. My daughter and her attendants (and I) were thrilled with the results. But Sara Julianna contributed in other ways as well. She and her colleagues were gracious, relaxed, enthusiastic, and professional. They shared in the excitement of the day. Sara Julianna prepared a schedule in advance of the day, arrived right on time and worked non-stop for about six hours. Every time we look at the photos from the day, we are reminded of all they contributed to this special event. I am pleased to offer high praise for Sara Julianna and her team.
Sara did the hair and make up for my wedding back in October. Sara was hands down my favorite vendor from my wedding. I had done a few trials with other hair and makeup artists beforehand and I was so impressed by my first trial with Sara I booked her on the spot! She’s incredibly talented, she understood exactly what I had in mind and was completely open to having multiple trials when I couldn’t decide if I wanted my hair up or down. She did a trial for each so that I could see both and then decide!
I had a huge wedding party with 12 bridesmaids and Sara did a fantastic job of making a schedule for the morning of and bringing in enough hair and makeup artists to make sure everything ran smoothly. The morning went off like clockwork!
Sara also made me feel incredibly comfortable through all of my trials and the morning of my wedding. She is so sweet and friendly.
I can not recommend Sara enough. My goal was to have a natural bridal look and she did a perfect job of making me look absolutely beautiful while still looking like myself. I am so glad I went with Sara for my bridal hair and makeup!
Sara was my hairstylist for my wedding on 11/1. From our first email correspondence, she was incredibly responsive, friendly, and professional. She spent hours with me on my trial and didn’t bat an eye when I requested a second trial (I decided to go a different direction with my hair than I originally planned). She had hair pieces for me to try and made recommendations on styles / hair pieces / all things wedding that I sincerely appreciated. The day of my wedding, she and her team arrived on time and efficiently worked through the large group of bridesmaids and family. I cannot day enough about working with Sara! I’m so thankful she was a part of my wedding team.
Sara was an absolute delight to have on my wedding day. She made me feel beautiful from our trial to all of the little details on my wedding day. She took care of my bridesmaids, myself and our moms and truly felt like part of my family that day. Her professionalism, her expertise and ability to make me as the bride feel beautiful on one of the most important days of my lives is something that I am truly grateful for. I will use Sara for all of my makeup needs in the future and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a makeup artist on their wedding day!
Sara was nothing less than amazing. I have never felt more beautiful in my life and I am so thankful for her talents that made my wedding that much more special. Sara is also so personable and professional. I enjoyed sharing the morning of my wedding day with her. I highly recommend, you won't regret it.
Sara was absolutely amazing as my wedding makeup artist and hair stylist! During my trial, she patiently dealt with me changing my mind 100s of times and being extremely particular to small details. She helped me visualize things that I couldn’t see in my own head but knew that I wanted. Come wedding day, she even arrived before me and dealt with al the craziness that came with arrival. She and her partner made me and my bridesmaids look absolutely stunning. The choice of airbrush and traditional makeup made my girls feel at ease, and they were extremely conforming with last minute changes. I promised that we would not have any people ask to be squeezed in day of, yet that didn’t happen, and even a groomsman got squeezed in and Sara and her partner didn’t even blink an eye. They were AMAZING! While I stressed over getting ready for photos and not being seen by my fiancé, Sara packed up quietly, and even left me her lipgloss that I loved. All in all, I was so picky with beauty for my wedding, and I could not have gone with anyone but Sara! She is amazing! I cannot wait to see my pictures!
Sara did an amazing job with my bridal hair and makeup as well as my bridesmaids. Sara made me feel at ease from the trial up do until the day of my wedding. She was super on top of everything and the scheduling went flawlessly. I had some picky bridesmaids and they all loved the way their hair and makeup came out. Thank you one million times!
Sara and her team helped make my wedding day like a dream! They showed up on time and kept us on schedule. They were so kind and personable while they worked on all of us ladies. Sara was able to take my inspiration of old time Hollywood and create my hair and make-up to fit this style perfectly. She and her team have incredible talent that did not go unrecognized by our guests. I received countless compliments regarding all of our hair and make-up throughout my wedding day. Thanks to Sara and her amazing team, I have never felt so beautiful. I would 100% recommend Sara and her team to anyone for their big day!

Highly recommend Sara for your special day. she made me and the bridal party feel sp comfortable, and made us feel so pretty. She was great to work with and provided her professional expertise when I wasnt sure which specific details to go with, and I ended up getting so many compliments. She was Really great to work with!
Sara was wonderful from beginning to end! She made me and all my girls feel incredibly comfortable and at ease. Not only is she a talented artists she is a lovely person who is a treat to be around! All my girls wanted different styles and she and her assistant made everyone look beautiful! She answered any questions I had, was quick to respond to emails and was extremely organized! I can't recommend her enough!
I would 100% recommend Sara Julianna Beauty!!! I had a vision for my hair but wasn’t sure how I wanted my make up done. Sara brainstormed with me at my trial and came up with a look that I truly loved. She listened to exactly what I wanted for my hair and it came out just as beautiful as I had envisioned. Sara is so sweet, very professional and dependable. If you’re looking for someone to make you look great on your special day Sara is your girl!
Thank you to Sara and her team for making my wedding vision come true! You made the getting ready process so easy, relaxed and fun for me and my wedding entourage (12 total!). I’m absolutely obsessed with my make-up look and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to hire SJ Beauty for my wedding day!
Amazing experience the whole way through. Sara made me feel so special and beautiful.
I NEVER like my hair, and I cannot figure out how to do my make up. I’ve been in several weddings and have never had my hair come out this perfect. Sara Julianna Skelly not only guided me through the entire process, but was a huge part of making my wedding day perfect. She dedicated time to my hair and make up trial, listened to all of my complaints, gave me the BEST advice of getting extensions and worked tirelessly the day of my wedding to ensure that not only me, but my bridesmaids looked stunning. She was honest, open, caring, dedicated and literally made my wedding day perfect. My bridesmaids and I had so much fun with her and Amanda, it was just the perfect addition to my bridal suite.
Sara was such a sweet, perfect addition to my wedding day. She spent the day with us in my brooklyn apartment and brought such great vibes. And my hair was absolutely perfect!! I went in not knowing what I wanted and describing something haphazardly, and she did the exact thing I didn't know I wanted. I would strongly recommend her to anyone!!
Sara is sweet, professional, and a great listener to what you want. From the moment I met her for my trial I knew she was going to make me feel and look beautiful on my wedding day. Sara did an amazing job with the entire bridal party, taking in to account the natural look I wanted for everyone. I don't wear makeup on a regular basis and Sara did a great job keeping me looking like me! I love looking at my photos and not feeling like I'm looking at someone else. The morning went by so smoothly and with ease thanks to Sara. I can’t wait to have another excuse to have her glam me up!
Sara was incredible to work with. I wear little to no makeup pretty much ever, and always feel self conscious wearing too much. I've also had some bad experiences for friends weddings, when I've looked like a clown. Sara was wonderful. She listened to all my ideas, studied all my pins on pinterest, and tailored her art exactly to my liking- I wanted to be as natural as possible. I am positive I was extremely annoying to work with, and she was charming and lovely to spend a few hours with. Everyone was really happy with how they looked: I got a million compliments on my makeup. Lauren, her assistant, was also completely lovely. I'm so glad we chose SJB.
I simply can not say enough wonderful things about Sara! I am not one who jumps around to have people to do my hair and such. I stick to one person and was a bit nervous not having someone I was familiar with doing my hair and make up on the most important day to look my best. However, as soon as I met and talked to Sara I was relaxed. Her passion and professionalism shine through. Sara listened to exactly what I had in mind for my day gave suggestions and even special ordered eye lashes for me since I don't typically do well with the typical fake lashes.
It was also amazing for myself and my bridesmaids that Sara travelled up to the Catskills to come to the house we were staying at to beautify us! Everyone felt heard and beautiful for the day!
Thank you Sara for making me feel amazing as I married my best friend couldn't have done without you!
I would highly recommend Sara to ANY bride and have actually done so to other brides I have encountered!
Sara was absolutely fantastic for my bridal hair and makeup. From the trial to the big day, she made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. I could not have asked from anything more! Thank you for everything!
It was getting closer and closer to my wedding date and the original makeup artist I had in mind fell through. I started a last minute search for someone available on my day, but kept hitting dead ends. A few people recommended Sara Julianna Beauty and boy am I glad they did! Sara was a joy to work with from our first conversation and did an amazing job at our initial trial. She walked me through everything she was doing and asked my input of what I thought along the way, making sure to stay in line with the amount and style of makeup I was comfortable with while using her expertise to suggest what would work well with what I wanted. On the day of my wedding she showed up right on time with her assistant and was ready to work. She did an amazing job on my makeup as well as all 6 of my bridesmaids. We all looked and felt like glamorous stars. Thanks for everything Sara! I felt like a million bucks on my special day!
Sara is professional, personable, and so talented. I loved the way my hair looked on the day of my wedding party. She also did temporary eyelashes which looked great in pictures. I’m so glad I found her. I highly recommend her for wedding day hair and makeup!
Sara made me look absolutely perfect on my wedding day. She is so sweet and great to work with. My girls, mom, and other family members also looked flawless. I don’t know how she does it, but I couldn’t have been happier with her beauty services.
I am beyond thrilled to have worked with Sara! My original hair stylist found out she was pregnant, and recommended Sara to me. To be honest, it was the best “happy accident” I could have asked for. Sara is not only very friendly and professional, but clearly talented. She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding! I also need to say, I am someone who is weirdly afraid of getting burned by hot tools but Sara has the lightest touch, I didn’t even notice when she was curling my hair- which is huge, because it showed how trusting I felt around her. Normally I break out into sweat thinking the stylist is going to knick my ears (Its an extremely irrational fear, I know) but not with Sara. So if you want to look and feel beautiful, hire Sara. If you (like me) get nervous about getting your hair styled, hire Sara. Her calming and friendly presence is so important to any bride on the day of your wedding (or any event, really) that she is a must hire. At the end of the day, she feels like one your best friends that you’re hanging out with, while she is making you look beautiful.
Highly-Highly Recommend!!! All a girl wants on her wedding day is to feel beautiful and WOW their significant other as they are seen for the first time. Sara helped me achieve just that! The reaction on my husbands face was priceless! I have never felt more beautiful! She is beyond talented and you would be crazy not to hire her for your special day!
Sara is amazing! I had the pleasure of having Sara do my makeup and hair for a wedding and her work was incredible. Not only did her work stand out but she was a pleasure to talk to and would love to work with her again. She is very professional and punctual.
Sara was an amazing make up artist. From start to finish I couldn’t have asked for anything more. She was prompt adaptable and professional. I can tell that she truly cared for me as a client. She goes step by step the entire way making sure you are comfortable and happy with how you look. I felt so confident throughout the night knowing my makeup stayed flawless to my final minutes on the dance floor!
Sara is absolutely amazing! She is so sweet, kind, and easy to work with. She did the makeup for my wedding, including my bridesmaids and my mom, and everyone looked stunning. She truly listens to you and strives to give you the exact look you are hoping for. I was in love with my makeup for my wedding! After working with Sara for my wedding, and being so happy with her and her work, when my sister got married it was a no brainer than we would have Sara do the makeup for her wedding too, as well as our hair! She certainly played a huge role in helping to make one of the happiest days of my life even more special! I would certainly recommend Sara to anyone looking for beauty services! You will not be disappointed!
Sara was amazing! She did my makeup for a friends wedding and I KNEW I had to have her for mine! I actually did 2 trials with her before my wedding day because I wasn’t totally sure what I wanted. Sara is very flexible and did an awesome job. I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life! I always recommend her to women getting married soon!
As a professional, working makeup artist- let me tell you, there's not one hairstylist I'd rather work with than Sara.
Throughout this past year, Sara and I have worked numerous photoshoots, events, and weddings together.
Every. Single. Time. she has been nothing but wonderful! She's always arriving early to set up, manages her appointment times with a laid out schedule, and communicates with each of her clients in order to give them a look they will love that will fit their hair length and type. And let me tell you- being able to work with someone who manages things behind the scenes so well is a treat. I've never worked a wedding where she has made the party run behind or where the entire group wasnt thrilled with their results!
Sara is a very sweet, caring woman with a cute yet professional sense of style and a wonderful talent for styling hair.
I recommend her to all of my brides!
