Hello there! I'm Sarah Ankerman, pronounced like "Anchormen"!

  I’ve been working as a production hair and makeup artist since 2013, with a passion for creating clean, natural beauty as well as elevated glam. My work spans TV, film, commercial, and corporate productions, and I also offer men’s grooming and subtle special effects makeup, including sweat, bruising, and cuts.

  I got my start in the TV news industry, where I spent 11 years working as a hair and makeup artist. That experience continues to shape how I approach my work today.  I understand the pace of production, the pressure of live environments, and exactly how hair and makeup translate under professional lighting and on high-definition cameras. It’s given me a sharp eye for detail and a strong instinct for creating polished, camera-ready results.

  On set, I’m known for bringing a calm, grounded presence. I aim to create an environment where everyone feels comfortable, confident, and taken care of, whether they’re seasoned talent or stepping in front of the camera for the first time. I pride myself on being reliable, punctual, adaptable, and easy to collaborate with, because I know how much that matters in a fast-moving production.

  I use high-definition friendly products to ensure a flawless finish both on camera and in person. Whether you’re looking for subtle, natural grooming or full glam, I’m here to support your vision and help bring it to life.

 

Based in Southern California, I regularly work in San Diego, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, and am available to travel.

 I'd love to get creative together!
