SHALOM, SHALOM!
I'm Sara Vance...
To sum me up, I'm a homesteading, homeschooling, Christian Navy wife & mother of 7 amazing (albeit, wild) children. I'm also legally deaf and am part of the earpiece (hearing-aids) entourage.
With 10+ years of experience in hair and makeup, I specialize in second-skin, long-lasting, low-maintenance complimentary looks for all types of events from photo shoots to proms/balls, to weddings!
I'd love to make you feel even MORE beautiful than you already are!

FAQ & POLICIES
How to Book/Payment Terms
A non-refundable retainer equal to 50% of the total service fee, paid by **credit or debit card only**, is due upon booking along with a signed service agreement.
For Event Services:
Your remaining balance is due at the end of your services and is payable by cash or card. There is a 3% CC Surcharge to any and all payments made by card. This fee is non-negotiable.
For Bridal Services:
Your remaining balance is due no later than *30 days prior* to your wedding date. This is to ensure you peace of mind on your wedding day knowing your services have already been paid for.
How to prep | Makeup
•Please tell me if you've used any products on your face that day (moisturizer, serum, etc) so I can make adjustments if necessary to ensure the products in my professional kit are compatible enough to allow the makeup to sit on the skin properly.
•Avoid any facial peels/spray tans at least 48 hours prior to your scheduled makeup appointment. This allows the tan to settle into it's final color and the facial's benefits to truly sink in. It also allows the skin to showcase any kind of reactions it may have ahead of time without any necessary last-minute adjustments.
•Do NOT come to your appointment with makeup already applied. Removing pre-exisiting makeup will cut into your allotted appointment time so it's best to come with a clean and dry face to avoid any potential additional fees to cover delays or overage.
•Tell me about any and all allergies or areas of concern you're either wanting covered or more exposed. This will allow me to properly plan how to be able to accommodate your needs and requests within the allotted time frame without delay.
•There's a ZERO TOLERANCE for eating/drinking or phone usage while services are being rendered. Without your full attention, this will cut into your allotted appointment time which cannot be extended, especially for bridal coverage.
Payment methods accepted
As stated, your 50 % non-refundable retainer MUST be paid via credit or debit card.
You may pay your remaining balance via cash, check (MUST be made out to 'Sara Vance' with 'Sara Lou Vance LLC' written on the memo), or card. Apple or Google Pay is not accepted at this time.
How to Prep | Hair
•Avoid perming/relaxing hair any less than 48 hours prior to your appointment date and please communicate if these are changes from any previous trials/hairstyling appointments we've had.
•All hair must be brushed, clean and dry prior to services beginning. If your hair is typically unruly, please blow-dry your hair straight prior to services beginning. This allows for proper adherence to the schedule & minimizes delays.
•Please communicate any changes in length, thickness, or color to me prior to services beginning. This allows me time to make any necessary changes or plan for the use of extensions, if requested.
