Timeless beauty, made for you
Luxury hair and makeup for brides, engagements, editorial shoots, productions and special events across Denver and Colorado.
Licensed cosmetologist · On-location service
Hello, I'm Sadie
I'm a licensed cosmetologist based in Thornton, and I've spent the last four years in the bridal industry, creating hair and makeup for brides, couples, photographers and productions across Denver and the Colorado mountains.
I started as an esthetician, so great makeup begins with healthy, prepped skin for me. That's a big part of why my looks photograph beautifully and last from first look to last dance. Since then I've worked the runway at Denver Fashion Week and done on-set production hair, makeup and touch-ups with ACB, where timing, consistency and staying calm under pressure are everything.
Before beauty, I served in the U.S. Army. I bring that same discipline to every wedding morning: on time, organized and ready for anything. Today I'm also a mom of two, so I know how much your day means to you and your family, and I treat it that way.

Frequently asked
Do you travel to my venue?
Yes. I come to you anywhere in Colorado, from Denver, Thornton, Westminster and Aurora to Boulder, Fort Collins, Estes Park, Breckenridge and Vail. Travel is a flat zone fee from Thornton, from $80 in the Denver metro to $250 in the high country. Destination weddings are available nationwide.
How far in advance should I book?
Most brides book 6–12 months ahead. Peak-season Saturdays fill first, so inquire as soon as you have your date.
Do I need a bridal trial?
I highly recommend one. A trial lets us perfect your look, test longevity and make your wedding morning stress-free. Many brides schedule it on the same day as engagement photos or a dress fitting.
Can you do my bridal party too?
Absolutely. I can style your bridesmaids, mothers and flower girls, and bring in an assistant artist for larger parties so everyone is ready on time. Parties of 6 or more receive 10% off hair and makeup services, plus a complimentary touch-up kit for the bride.
How do I reserve my date?
After I confirm your date and quote, you'll sign a simple agreement and pay your retainer through the secure Square payment link I send you (or by Venmo or Zelle). Your date is officially reserved once both are complete. Friday–Sunday weddings have a $1,000 service minimum.
Do you work on editorial shoots and productions?
Yes. I work with photographers, designers, brands and production teams on editorial, commercial, runway, music video and film projects. Send your call time, location, number of talent and mood board, and I'll put together a day rate.
Do you do makeup for events other than weddings?
Yes, including engagement sessions, galas, proms, birthdays, headshots, boudoir and any night that calls for glam.
The hard truth: what can makeup do for my skin?
I love working on every skin type, including mature skin and acne-prone skin, and my goal is always for you to feel comfortable and confident in your own skin. Here's the honest part: makeup can cover, even out and brighten, but it can't change texture. Raised blemishes, fine lines, enlarged pores and scarring will still have some dimension, especially up close or in bright light. I'll use skin prep and the right products to soften them as much as possible, and a trial is the best way to see exactly what's realistic for your skin before the big day.
Will I receive a contract?
Yes. Every booking comes with a written contract, so nothing is left to guesswork. Once your date and quote are confirmed, I'll send it to you with all the details included: your date, location and ready-by time, the services and number of people, your total price, retainer and balance due date, any travel or early-call fees, and my cancellation, date-change and final headcount policies. Your date is officially reserved once the contract is signed and your retainer is paid.
Will my makeup last all day?
Yes. I use long-wear, photo-friendly products and techniques designed to hold through tears, hugs, Colorado sun and dancing. You'll also get a touch-up kit.
