Sara and her team were fantastic! From my trial to my wedding day, Sara was kind, organized, communicative, and professional, and above all, she made me feel comfortable and cared for. I ended up deciding on a different style of bun between my trial and my wedding, and Sara took the time to hear my vision and execute it flawlessly. I was obsessed with my makeup :) Sara is a fun, positive presence, and working with her feels like you have another friend in the room! Sara's prices are also very competitive given the value of her services. The only note I had about my services is that my hair didn't hold well throughout the night-- but that being said, it was a hot, humid June day, and I am confident that if I spoke up in advance about wanting some extra humidity protection, Sara would have listened and made it happen!! She is fantastic and I would recommend her over and over again.
Sara was absolutely amazing! When we met at my makeup trial she was open to hearing what I was looking for and I was open to hearing her suggestions. After she listened to me, she knew exactly what I was looking for. Sara made me feel like the most beautiful bride and that was just at my trial! Sara made me feel like the most beautiful bride ever. She answered all my questions and I felt so comfortable having her do my makeup for my wedding! She is extremely professional, easy to work with, organized and communicates well! I highly recommend Sara for your wedding!
Sara and her team were incredible. They nailed the exact look I wanted and made the whole morning feel calm, fun, and effortless. My hair and makeup lasted all day, and I truly felt like the best version of myself!!! Highly recommend working with them.
Sara and her whole team were AMAZING to work with for my wedding day. Sara was incredibly responsive to all questions I had about planning, and she was also very accommodating of everyone who wanted to have their hair and makeup professionally done, taking note of any special requests that needed to be met.
Scheduling my beauty trial with Sara was easy, and both at my trial and during my wedding day, she brought an infectious energy that made me feel like I was her favorite person. Everyone at my wedding complimented my hair and makeup and it lasted the entire night!
Sara also gave me some wonderful tips for makeup that I am going to be using from now on. I would absolutely recommend her for any beauty needs you may have, and I will definitely be using her again for any future events I may need professional services for.
Sara was absolutely incredible to work with! Her warmth, kindness, and talent make her stand out — it felt like spending time with a friend who genuinely wanted me to look and feel my best on my wedding day! My bridal makeup turned out flawless — it lasted all day, and photographed beautifully. Beyond her artistry, Sara's calm, positive energy made the whole wedding morning experience so enjoyable as I got ready with my bridal party. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone!!!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sara! She is incredibly kind, easy to work with, and made me feel so beautiful. I received so many compliments on my makeup—it looked flawless all day and photographed perfectly. Her calming presence and genuine warmth made the whole experience such a joy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and caring makeup artist!
PHENOMENAL team - so easy to work with, reliable and creative. 10/10 recommend!
Sara and her team are absolutely amazing! They have such a gift at make up where you left feeling heard, beautiful, and most importantly - you. Sara was able to understand my vision and execute it beyond what I could have imagined. When I first looked at myself on my wedding day, I could not put into words how happy I was - so I just cried tears of joy instead. Highly highly highly recommend!!
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!!!
