Sarah Delaine Hair and Makeup Agency

Even though my wedding was in September and it has taken me awhile to get to this review (also my very FIRST Unilocal review), it is no way a reflection of how wonderful Sarah was! From my first contact with her through email, she was always very quick in getting back to me, which is not always easy to find, as well as helpful and upfront about pricing and services offered. Speaking of pricing– all services were reasonably priced and I feel completely satisfied with the money spent on hair and makeup. She was patient with me and answered all of my questions about different hair options (I ended up using clip-​in extensions that I bought from her to give my fine hair a little boost) as well as make-​up questions (airbrush vs. regular) and so on.
At the trial, I met her as well as Laura who did my makeup for the day. Both ladies were friendly and welcoming and really listened to what I wanted. I brought in a few pictures of what I was looking for and they were both able to really get a feel for my style from the pictures and create a look that I loved! We tweaked a few small things with makeup and Laura was willing to listen and try a few different things to get it perfect. The trial really helped to put my mind at ease and ensure that I made the right decision.
As for the wedding day, Sarah and Laura did hair and makeup for myself and my five bridesmaids. They were prompt, even arriving a few minutes early, and got started right away. They took their time with each girl, but were still able to stay on time as far as scheduling. Both my hair and makeup lasted until the end of the evening, which was well past midnight, and I received many compliments throughout the night. I would highly recommend Sarah and her team!

I was unhappy with my first trial, as my makeup artist was texting and taking phone calls throughout my session. She also didn’t use airbrush makeup when I had it in my contract. Her response was, «Oh, I didn’t even look. You don’t need airbrush anyway; it’s only for people who have bad skin.» Then she reassured me we could do it the day of the wedding. I was a little apprehensive because I had only had my makeup done one other time, and it wasn’t with airbrush.
I reached out to Sarah the next day and asked if I could have another trial because I wanted to know what airbrush was like before the wedding day. Sarah was awesome and agreed that the purpose of the trial was to alleviate concerns, so a huge thank you to Sarah for being accommodating in scheduling an additional trial when I was unhappy with the first session; I really appreciate her understanding and kindness.
We then went through a rocky time trying to get the retrial scheduled because one time the stylist had the flu and another time the salon window getting busted, so I had to go to a different location than planned. When I did end up doing the retrial, it was great because I really liked Ashlynn!!! She’s a doll. :)
As for my actual wedding day, Ashlynn and Meghana arrived right on time and were ready to go! Their work and professionalism were great! All my gals ended up looking amazing! We all loved the stylists and their work, and we were really happy with the two of them.
There was one HUGE setback, however. I peeked my head into the room to check on progress around 12:45pm and saw that Meghana had packed up all her stuff and was ready to head out the door before two of my gals had gotten their hair and makeup done. I told Ashlynn and Meghana that there were still two bridesmaids left. They said they were told by Sarah that they were supposed to do hair and makeup for the bride and 4 bridesmaids. I told them that I contracted for makeup-​only for the bride and hair and makeup for 6 bridesmaids. After some brief communication between the two of them, Meghana unpacked her stuff and got started right away on another one of my girls.
The part that really sucks is that my bridal party was supposed to all meet in the lobby @ 1:30pm for group photos before our limo was coming. Unfortunately, we were never able to have the group shots done because we were waiting on the last two girls to get their hair and makeup finished. :(
I know Ashlynn and Meghana worked their asses off, and I so appreciate their work. I’m just bummed that I didn’t get group pictures of my entire bridal party because we were missing the two girls finishing up with hair and makeup.
Overall, I was happy with the performance, professionalism, and accommodations by Sarah, Ashlynn, and Meghana; yet, there were a lot of bumps in the road between September (when I first contracted) and the day of the wedding (November 28^th).
***I provided all of the above in a personal email to Sarah, and she was appreciative of all feedback and constructive criticism, which is great!
Thanks again,
Jackie

Sarah and Nicole took care of me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day and they SO exceeded my expectations. I would recommend them to anyone!
First off, the trial: I have heard horror story after horror story of brides leaving their trials crying, feeling like they hate their look and the make up and hair artists didn’t understand their vision. I left feeling like Beyonce! Not only did the look kill, they took their time and were super patient with me when I couldn’t articulate my vision very well. In the overall wedding planning process, I was a little bit slow to get hair/​make up booked, and they were so accommodating with scheduling the trial — We met at 8AM on a Monday, and they were there with smiles on!
The day of: Sarah and Nicole were amazing. They were on time, kept to the schedule, and made all my ladies look fabulous. I have not been in a wedding before where all the bridesmaids liked their hair after getting it done, with mine as the exception! Sarah listened to what people wanted and executed — Simple as that. For make up, Nicole did air brush for me so I looked and felt flawless. She did lots of falsies on my bridesmaids and also did my mom’s make up! Honestly, just can’t say enough how much I appreciated their work!
These ladies are awesome! If you’re looking for a worry free, easy peasy experience, call them!

Thanks for a great job!!! I had my hair and make up done on my wedding day, and it couldn’t be better!!!

As the maid of honor at my sisters wedding, it was my job to source the best hair/​make-​up artists for her big day. Sarah Delaine was recommended by my hair stylist and I was impressed by her attentiveness and flexibility with the brides ever evolving requests.
I love my sister but she is PICKY and when she was not pleased with her make-​up trial, the make-​up artist (Ashlyn) offered to do a second one free of charge because «if the bride wasn’t happy, she wasn’t happy» — that’s true customer service!
Overall, Sarah Delaine was a pleasure to work with and very accommodating. Highly recommended!

My wife and I both had our hair and makeup done for our wedding. We were very happy with the results! Moreover, logistical coordination was very easy even for an early morning ceremony. They were very helpful in making suggestions and also quick to make any accommodations necessary. Five stars!

Couldn’t have been happier with my experience with this talented team. Flawless, gorgeous work and so pleasant to work with. They really listened to what I wanted and made sure to give me the look I was going for. Would recommend to anyone!

This team of gals is so great! I was a recent bridesmaid in a wedding and I was dreading the thought of having someone I don’t know do my hair and makeup on the day of the wedding because you never know who you are going to get! Well I have been in a lot of weddings and I’ve never been happier with my hair and makeup. Not only were they so much fun but they were quick! We all had hair and airbrush makeup, the hair looked fabulous all night long and the makeup was still perfect the next morning! If you are getting married or in a wedding I highly recommend Sarah and her team of stylists!

I was very very pleased with my makeup artist Gabi! She was excellent! Makeup stayed all night and she made sure I’m absolutely satisfied with my makup before she left! Passionate, skilled and very intelligent and sweet woman.
My hairdresser Alexis on the other hand was nothing like that. I showed her picture of my desired hairdo and she made something almost similar to that. She did the most simple thing to my hair — curled and pinned in the back. She didn’t show any signs of creativity or passion. She was pulling my hair and seamed in rush although I had more than 4 hours till wedding. The pins started to fall out right after the ceremony. The hairdo was a waste of money!

Super talented, kind, smart team! Everything was prepared and ready to go! I will definitely be recommending to all my friends and family! Thanks for making our special day even more special!

Look, anyone who has gone through the process of planning a wedding knows what a long, trying process it can be.
Going on a referral, I decided to go with Sarah Delaine for my hair and makeup as well as for my 7 bridesmaids. I must say I could NOT have been more impressed with the company. Not only did our day go off without a hitch, Sarah and her team had all of us ready before schedule. Which was nice because it gave me a second to stop and BREATHE before the whirlwind of the day ensued. We all looked AMAZING. I’ve never in my life felt more beautiful. I give all the credit to Sarah and her awesome makeup artist. They were quick and efficient, and organized. I could tell these girls were seasoned pros. I seriously cannot speak highly enough of Sarah and her team. Thank you a million times over!
Also, for a small additional cost, I had the girls hang out until after our ceremony so that we could all be «touched up» before photos. Thank you Sarah Delaine Hair and Makeup Agency from the bottom of my heart!

Having my hair cut, styled, or colored is a very personal experience. It’s scary trying to find a stylist you can trust when there are so many out there, and let’s face it– not all of them are good.
When I was introduced to Sarah I found my stylist for life. Sarah is going to give you exactly what you’re looking for, each and every time. When you put your hair in Sarah’s hands, you can relax knowing when she’s finished you will receive exactly what you asked for.
Sarah is extremely passionate, and cares more for what she does than any other stylist I’ve met. I highly suggest this company.
