Ankerman Artistry

Sarah did hair and makeup for my wedding, and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. Her studio is beautiful and welcoming, and my bridal trial was incredibly valuable in helping me decide what I did and didn’t want for my overall look. My hair has always struggled to hold curls, but I had my heart set on a curly style for the wedding. Sarah tailored her techniques to my specific hair type and offered practical advice to help the style last. She also did my highlights ahead of the wedding, which came out beautifully, and had great recommendations for hair extensions. I wanted a natural makeup look, and she delivered exactly that. My hair held and my makeup lasted the entire night, even through a hot July evening. My bridesmaids and both of our mothers looked absolutely stunning, and everyone was ready right on schedule. If you’re looking for a talented, knowledgeable, and reliable hair and makeup artist, I highly recommend Sarah at Ankerman Artistry. Thank you for helping us all look and feel our best on such a special day!

Truly a joy to work with, Sarah is professional and an absolute sweetheart. If you have the pleasure of working with her you will definitely be in great hands. From our first conversation I immediately felt comfortable. She took the time to listen to my vision, and after we had the bridal preview it really showed that she understood. She was easy to work with for scheduling and communicated excellently! Sarah and her team worked their magic on myself, my aunt, my mom, and my bridesmaids. We were all in love with how we looked! All of our glam held up and stayed perfect, even in the August heat. Sarah truly made my dream come to life. She was happy to make any adjustments and was very honest with me on what would look best. She 1000% knows what she’s doing! Thank you so much Sarah for making me feel so beautiful on the best day of my life 🤍

The BEST hair and makeup artist in Temecula! Sarah did both mine and my mom’s hair and makeup for my wedding day and it was absolutely perfect. It lasted all night and never fell out and my makeup never smudged even with all the happy tears and endless hugs. I cannot thank you enough for such a beautiful look for me and my mom. I would hands down go back for any of her services. She was so friendly and accommodating. I cannot recommend her enough!

I had such a great experience working with Sarah! She is not only incredibly professional, but also brings such a fun, uplifting energy that made the entire shoot feel easy and enjoyable. If you’re getting headshots, I highly recommend working with her. She made me feel like the best version of myself, flawlessly accentuating my best features. I especially loved the way she did my eyelashes and eyebrows, they looked natural, polished, and perfectly enhanced. I felt confident, polished, and completely taken care of! Her attention to detail is amazing! She truly doesn’t miss a beat. She stayed on point throughout the photoshoot, making sure my hair and makeup looked perfect in every moment.

Working with Sara has been such a positive experience! I’ve had the opportunity to work with her as a cast member on both film and commercial, and she consistently delivers. She’s professional, easy to work with, and really knows how to create a polished, camera-ready look for set. I always feel confident in her work and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for quality and reliability.

Sarah is such a sweet and professional person, and I really enjoyed her company during my bridal trial! However, I was really surprised by how the makeup turned out, especially since I've had my makeup done several times professionally in the past without any issues. The eyeliner was noticeably uneven, and the contouring technique was much too harsh for my fair skin and cool undertones. The false eyelashes were glued so tightly to my natural lashes that they were almost inseparable. Additionally, the white setting powder she used caused a very intense white cast. While I really appreciated her kind attitude and punctuality, the makeup skills didn't meet the mark for my wedding day.

Five stars all the way! I recently finished up a feature film with Sarah, and I cannot speak highly enough about her. She was incredibly professional, able to pivot quickly when things changed, was very respectful of the actors needs, and available at a moments notice. I could go on and on! Sarah is at the top of my list for an HMU. Don’t hesitate. Just hire her.

I’m an actress, and I recently met Sarah on set, where she did my makeup for a shoot, and I’m so amazed by how good she is!!!! I just had to leave this review because I usually don’t like when other people do my makeup, but Sarah is so talented at what she does that I felt amazing throughout the whole shoot. She knows how to do an amazing, natural-looking makeup that makes you feel like you’re having your best day! Which is so important when you’re in front of the camera. She’s also very friendly and professional at the same time. All the talent was so happy with how their makeup looked and could truly shine on camera. If you need a makeup artist for a filming production, commercial, or whatever it is, don’t think twice and book this amazing artist!

As a DP/Cameraman working in So Cal I’ve used Sarah’s talent on dozens of video/film shoots over the past decade. I describe her hair and makeup work as art, always complementing my cinematography. She is easy to work with and always makes the talent feel comfortable.
