Client Testimonials
I've seen her work for two straight years now and have always marveled at Sarah's speed, her ability to work on the fly, calming her clients in a panicked and high-pressure situation, but most importantly her results.
Ernie E., SYFY Network
She’s the rare Hair & Makeup pro who not only makes talent look incredible on camera, but also understands the full rhythm of a set, tight timelines, shifting priorities, and the little details that separate “good” from “broadcast-ready.”
Jordan K., Producer at Story is Greaster
Our entire crew was impressed with Sarah, and her attention to detail to make our talent camera-ready. Her skills in continuity were fantastic, and she caught small things our team missed. Sarah saved us so much time in post-production!
David E., Videographer at Strategic America
I’ve worked with Sarah Ankerman for over a decade, and she is truly exceptional. Her talent in both hair and makeup is unmatched; she is consistently spot on and always understands exactly what I need. Her attention to detail, calm presence, and professionalism make all the difference in the world!
