Sarah and her team were absolutely amazing! I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day. From my make up (that seriously lasted ALL day, including on a boat!) to my hair where I had to use extensions for the first time, everything was perfect. I knew I didn't want TOO much, and Sarah made sure I was happy with everything. I would highly, highly recommend booking Sarah and her team for your day.

Sarah Tjaden did our hair for my wedding! She was absolutely amazing! She always responded back to me pretty much right away (even if I sent her a message or inquiry at random hours of the day or on the weekend). I was indecisive about how I wanted my hair so on the day of my wedding I completely changed it compared to how we did it at my trial. She looked at my inspo pic and did my hair the exact way and it turned out perfect, better than I imagined! She has the best attitude and positive energy! She’s the person you want with you, laughing and singing along to your pre wedding playlist helping you get ready and look amazing on your big day! 100% recommend!

Sarah and her team did an incredible job catering to me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day. I spent a lot of time researching to ensure I chose a professional artist who could accommodate all skin shades and tones, and SLT exceeded my expectations. From the trial session to the big day, Sarah was highly professional, answering all my questions and even expanding her makeup kit to find the perfect blush shade for me.
They provided a detailed schedule for hair and makeup, ensuring everyone stayed on track and stress-free. And the best part? My makeup DID NOT budge—from crying during toasts to dancing my butt off all night! In an industry where it’s easy to feel like just another client, SLT went above and beyond to make us feel like their top priority. I cannot recommend them enough!

I can't thank Sarah and Karly enough for making my wedding day even more special. From the moment they arrived, they were incredibly kind, upbeat, and professional. They created a calm and comfortable atmosphere, which I needed on such an important day.
Not only did they make me feel relaxed throughout the entire process, but they also did an absolutely flawless job with my makeup and hair. It was everything I had hoped for – natural yet stunning, and it stayed perfect all day.
I would highly recommend Sarah and Karly to any bride looking for a perfect hair and makeup duo. They are not only skilled but also a true joy to have around on your big day!

Sarah and her team are truly the best! 12/10. Would highly recommend. I used SLT for my wedding and I’m so thankful I did. Everyone is so nice, fun and easy going. They go above and beyond to make sure you get exactly what you want with hair and make up. Not to mention spray tans too! My wedding day was absolutely perfect with the help of SLT making me feel so beautiful. I will continue to use SLT any chance I get for any event!

I first worked with SLT Makeup Artistry when I was in a friend’s wedding party and knew I had to keep her information for our big day. Once we got into wedding plan, Sarah was the first vendor I reached out to! She was absolutely perfect from start to finish! I rarely ever wear makeup, so it was important to find a style that allowed me to stand out as the bride without making me feel like I wasn’t myself. Both Sarah and Kylee were super appreciative of any feedback from my trial - and there wasn’t much because the trial was spectacular. Getting to work with Sarah and Kylee at the start of our special day really help set the pace for the day and I was able to be calm and truly enjoy and live in the moment. They made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! My mom and Maid of Honor also got hair and makeup done by Sarah and Kylee. Not a single one of us had to do any touch ups except for our lips (from all that yummy food!). I cannot recommend Sarah, Kylee, and the rest of the team enough - I know this was the first of many appointments I hope to have with SLT Makeup Artistry!

Sarah and her team did a beautiful job on my mom, mother in law, bridesmaids and my makeup for my wedding day! Sarah is so talented and has a wonderful disposition. She helped make getting ready so fun. She is very trustworthy and punctual. She arrived earlier than me on the wedding day and was already setting up when I got there. On the day of the wedding, I decided to change a few things I wanted for my makeup look and she was able to adapt with such short notice and give me exactly the look I wanted. I recommend her to anyone that needs a makeup artist. She rocks!

10/10!! I have worked with Sarah and her team at SLT Makeup Artistry multiple times for both hair and makeup, and they have NEVER disappointed. On my wedding day, I was absolutely thrilled with the results! My hair and makeup were FLAWLESS and held up beautifully throughout the entire day, even through all the happy tears.
Sarah's talent is undeniable, but what truly sets her apart is her personality and professionalism. She will come fully prepared on your day. I wore a bandaid that had removed a spot of my spray tan and she was able to fix it day-of in the makeup chair. They are SO MUCH FUN to work with! This is the team you want to kick off your wedding day morning with.
I also used SLT for my spray tan, which ended up the perfect shade and gave me the glow and confidence boost I needed for my special day.
I highly recommend Sarah and SLT Makeup Artistry for any occasion!!

I can't say enough great things about Sarah and Karly. They did an amazing job when my best friend got married, so I knew I had to book them too. Amazing personalities, very professional, adaptable, and well priced in my experience. I wasn't a traditional bride, and they absolutely DELIVERED MY VISION! If you're thinking about booking services... do it!! You'll be so happy you did. 🖤 (The photo with my husband was to show off how the hair and extensions still looked even after it had been raining on me!)

Sarah was very accommodating with our other vendors, including going above and beyond to create our day of schedule which was such a relief to me as a bride. Sarah is so personable, creative, and dedicated to what she does. She is very prepared and made the day just flawless. I felt so beautiful with my makeup, it made me just feel glowing in my skin, and myself! Another plus, my girls also all felt so cared for and beautiful with their makeup and hair!

Karly and Sarah were absolutely amazing on my wedding day for both the bridesmaids and myself. We did both hair and makeup. Karly and Sarah were very patient and listened to whatever we wanted. If someone did not like something, they took the time to fix it by scheduling in quick fixes at the end of hair/makeup. They also provided great recommendations if someone did not know what they wanted. For example, my hair is thin so Karly made certain recommendations to make my hair look full on my wedding day.
I did a trial hair session and recommend it for any bride. I did not do a makeup trial because I was not too nervous about that.
If you choose SLT, you will not be disappointed!

Everyones makeup turned out so beautiful and everyone was so happy with the way they looked. I am not a huge lashes girly, but the was Sarah applied them I was not bothered at all having them on.

I got married at The Brix and Sarah and Karly did a fabulous job! They met us at our hotel close by the venue and did my mom, bridesmaids and my wedding hair and makeup. Sarah gave us a schedule for getting ready which was very helpful! All the girls were so happy with how their hair styles and makeup turned out! Sarah and Karly were so sweet and kind and made sure everyone liked the final look, and offered to change anything if needed. My makeup lasted all day, even in the July heat! I also couldn’t get my speaker to connect in the hotel room but they came prepared with a speaker and great music to pump everyone up! Thank you SLT for helping me to feel beautiful on my wedding day!!

Post wedding update: The Glam Squad at SLT was amazing! We utilized their services for our wedding party and they were such a blast to be around, great energy despite it being 9 AM.
When one of our ladies was running late, they were super accommodating and able to swap the service order to allow for everyone to still get their hair and makeup done.
Trial: Just had my wedding trial with the folks at SLT and had such a fun time with them! Makeup and hair were fantastic, and their team really worked with me to create a look I felt confident in. I left relieved knowing that I had such a rockstar team lined up for my wedding day!

10/10! SLT did hair and makeup for my wedding and I could not have been more impressed. A few of my bridesmaids have been in multiple weddings, and they kept raving about how this was their favorite hair/makeup experience. In addition to amazing hair and makeup, they were also super prompt and professional. We were actually done ahead of schedule! This promptness applied to the whole experience - Sarah was also super quick about getting back to me during the wedding planning process which was much appreciated. I usually don't wear a ton of makeup and told Sarah I wanted a natural look, and she nailed it. I am also a big face toucher, and even though I accidentally touched my face constantly throughout the day, my makeup still looked super fresh at the end of the night! I am also very indecisive and changed both my hair and makeup the day of, and Sarah (makeup) and Karly (hair) were awesome at helping me make final decisions and went above and beyond to make sure I loved the final product (and I did!). In addition to amazing services, all of the girls (Sarah, Karly, Stef, and Steph) were super sweet. It felt like my friends were doing my hair and makeup. Hair and makeup with SLT was the perfect way to start my wedding day, and I cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking for wedding hair and makeup!

I would highly recommend SLT to anyone that asks!! I used them for my wedding and I couldn’t have loved my make up more. When I went in for my trial, I told Sarah that I really didn’t want my face to be caked in make up and wanted it to look more natural. She did such a great job making sure it looked different than my normally daily make up but without making me look like a totally different person! In addition, I couldn’t decide how to do my hair for my wedding so they did multiple trials with me until I found a hairstyle that I loved :) thank you to the SLT team for making me and my girls feels so beautiful on my big day!

Super responsive, helpful, and high quality results by Sarah, Karly and Nicole! The only thing that caught me off guard was the cancellation fee. I had a couple of girls in my wedding party cancel about a week before the wedding, but the cancellation policy is 60 days before the wedding. Last minute changes happen! Overall, great service and everyone was very friendly and made the women feel beautiful and satisfied with their looks.

SLT did hair and makeup for my wedding day and they were FANTASTIC. All of the girls looked and felt beautiful. They are extremely professional but still bring a fun energy with them.
Below are some highlights to why I would give them 5/5 stars!
- when I say all the girls looked and felt beautiful, I truly mean ALL the girls. And it lasted all night! We were all thrilled with how it looked, I personally felt SO beautiful even after a hot weather ceremony.
- Costs were extremely fair!
- The trial went perfectly and they really make sure you are happy with the result and open to any changes! I also really loved how they documented exactly what you liked and came super prepared for the wedding day.
- Honestly, my day of wedding day (not involving hair and makeup) was super stressful but they stayed so calm, professional, and didn’t let it affect them - extremely grateful for this!
- They give a plan of how long each service will take per girl and are completely on point with timing of it all.
Overall amazing experience - wedding planning is definitely scary but this is for sure a company I would 100% recommend you book and you can breathe easier being in great hands!

Karly and Sarah are both so sweet and so easy to work with and did an absolutely fantastic job with the hair and makeup at my wedding! They both have such great instincts and perfectly executed the look I wanted. I'm sure I was the worst type of client-- picky, but knowing nothing about hair or makeup-- and yet they listened and used their creative magic to find exactly what I was looking for-- a super natural look (with a pop of color on the lip) and a gorgeous braided updo. Both Sarah and Karly were so kind, thoughtful, and fun to have around as we got ready for the big day. I felt so comfortable and so glamorous!

Sara and her team are the best! They are so funny, friendly, and made me and my girls look beautiful for my wedding. I honestly hired Sara because of her personality and how easy she was to get along with at my makeup trial, and, of course, she's great at what she does. She was great with communicating and her prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend hiring her and her team for your big day.

Sarah and Karly were just amazing! I’m so glad I found her and hired her team. She did my Wedding day hair and makeup as well as my bridesmaids, flower girl and Mother in law.
The airbrush makeup looked flawless on all of us!
The girls loved their hair up dos as well. We cannot wait for the professional photos come in to see but all the photos we took with smartphones hair and makeup turned our great! They were on time early the morning of which was awesome! Also Sarah and Karly allowed me 2 trials prior to wedding day one for makeup and 2 for hair as I had changed my mind on the style. Thank you to Sarah!

There are no words to describe how incredible Karly and Sarah are. They made every girl in my bridal party feel like queens! They pay attention to every little detail and made sure every girl looked her best. Not to mention that they are an absolute delight to be around and laughed with us all morning long. They worked around our crazy schedule and ensured that everything would flow smoothly. And they sure did! They made my day one that I will never forget and made me feel gorgeous in every single picture that was taken throughout the day/night. This is your sign: BOOK THEM NOW!

We just got back from our honeymoon yesterday and I ran to google to review this company! SLT was absolutely amazing on our wedding day! Sarah was so much fun to work with and made us all feel so comfortable while sitting through the getting ready day which we all know can be a very long day! Every one of my bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning and loved their makeup and hair! I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup throughout the night! Absolutely hire them!! They are so professional while also keeping such a fun and light vibe throughout the day!

I also was so appreciative of their flexibility on my wedding day. Although I woke up feeling ill, they quickly rearranged the schedule for my girls so that I could take more time to rest. Thank you for being so understanding and helping me look beautiful even when I didn’t feel my best- that meant the world to me!

Sarah is absolutely incredible! I had never had my makeup done professionally before my engagement photos and wedding, so I wasn't sure what to expect. To say I was blown away would be an understatement!! I showed her the look I wanted for my wedding, and she nailed it! My makeup looked incredible, and I received so many compliments... I didn't want to take it off! Sarah also did the makeup for my bridesmaid, maid of honor and my mom who all looked amazing as well! She fit right in with all of us, almost as if she were part of the wedding herself! I'm hoping that I have another event come up where I need my makeup done, just so I can have her do it again!
Side note: About 6 weeks before my wedding I reached out to Sarah asking for some advice on skin care (I'm clue less in the area). I had no idea she was going to above and beyond helping me out with this. She even took the time and devised a routine for me with recommendations on products. I would have been so lost on this and probably wasted hundreds of dollars on stuff I didn't need!
Sarah with SLT Makeup is the best and I will continue to recommend her to everyone one I know!

If I could give them more stars I would. Sarah and Nicole were superheroes on my wedding day. When my makeup artist ended up in the ER the morning of my wedding, I was fully prepared to be doing makeup for all 8 of us (mine and all my bridesmaids, plus my mom, MIL and SIL)! My maid of honor reached out to Sarah to see if she could help and she DID! Nicole came out and started working on everyone until Sarah could make it out after another wedding she was doing! They both did an amazing job! We all looked beautiful and I was so happy that they were able to come out and help keep me a little more sane that day! I do not have enough words to express how grateful I am to them for helping out. I would and will recommend them to ANYONE I know that will be getting married from here on out! Thank you Sarah and Nicole for saving my wedding day!

Sarah’s team did an awesome job for me and my ladies on my wedding day! We all looked gorgeous, yet still natural. Sarah herself could not be there, but she sent her awesome beauty team, who were all friendly, professional, and listened to all of our requests and turned up the glam! After my trial run, I was not sure about my hairstyle and wanted to make some changes. Kylee listened to my concerns and really delivered a stunning updo. Based on the photos I’ve seen so far, I looked my absolute best on my special day! Everyone, including the moms, seemed really happy with their looks as well.

Sarah is a wizard with makeup. I wish I could have her do my makeup everyday: my makeup on my wedding day was stunning! I felt so beautiful- the airbrush makeup was flawless (would highly recommend) and she nailed the glam/natural look perfectly! Everyone she did makeup on that day looked stunning. Our hairstylist was amazing as well! I would definitely recommend Sarah and her team for your hair/makeup needs. Our only hiccup was that one of the stylists had to back out from our date about 3 months before the wedding and they were unable to find a replacement: this did complicate our timeline a bit and a mother/bridesmaid ended up having to go elsewhere for hair/makeup since we didn't have enough time/stylists to get everyone done in the time our venue was open. However, Sarah was very apologetic for this and worked closely with me to try and find a solution. Overall, her stellar makeup work and professionalism outweighed this hiccup and I would still highly recommend her services.

I totally wished your mother-in-law and sister-in-law chose to keep their appointments in the morning with us instead of going elsewhere, too! However, I understand that they preferred to go to a salon in the area instead of the hotel with grandma in the morning 😊 Thank you again for your business and support! I hope your wedding day and night was PERFECT and we hope to see you soon! Xo- Sarah <3

I used them for my wedding and the entire process from the trial to the wedding day was a seamless experience. SLT exceeded my expectations and made the hair and makeup aspect of wedding planning stress-free. My bridal girls also raved about them as everyone loved their hair and makeup too. The wedding day was so fun, and it felt like we were all best friends getting ready together! Highly recommend SLT Makeup Artistry - you will not be disappointed!

I've never seen my daughter look so naturally beautiful! Sarah is a gifted makeup artist, using your natural beauty so you don't look and feel like you've got a ton of makeup on. They were all so fun to be with too. When I look at our pictures, I can't imagine our day without them. I am so glad they were a part of our day and you will be too!

Sarah from SLT Makeup Artistry is absolutely AMAZING! I hired her to do my hair and makeup for my bridal shower. She was accommodating to my changes in start time and arrived at my house bright and early, eager to get started. She was so positive, friendly and fun to talk to. The quality of both my hair and makeup was out of this world! I felt so beautiful all day. She finished exactly on time and I appreciate that she showed a genuine interest in my event. She texted me to see how the shower went, and the most amazing part- there was a thank you card in my mailbox the very next morning. Those sweet, extra touches go a long way! Sarah goes above and beyond in all aspects of her business. If only I could take her with me to my out of state wedding!! Will absolutely be using her in the future!
