Sarina Durden & Co. Bridal makeup, hairstyling and event beauty services — Local services in Saint Augustine

Sarina is the absolute best! I was nervous because I didn't do any trial run before my big day and I normally don't wear makeup but everything turned out even better than I could have imagined! Sarina made my dreams come alive and also offered excellent guidance which I needed (she even added a beautiful hairpiece to accessorize my hair with which tied everything together for a glamorous finish). I can't give enough praise for how beautiful Sarina made me look and feel (and that's a tough feat, I am a very harsh critic of myself). My hair and makeup were stunning, aside from my friends and family, people all over the streets of downtown St Augustine were raving about how good she made me look! Sarina was flexible and willing to rearrange our hours per my request with last minute schedule changes. She also thinks of everything. I got my hair and makeup done early (8 hours before the ceremony) so Sarina even provided a tiny kit with touch up makeup and lip stick for the night and suggested I bring a curling iron for touch-ups if needed but I didn't even need any of it! Everything held together through the entire day & night! Not only is Sarina excellent at what she does but she also has an incredible personality. Nothing was awkward, she is very pleasant and personable, patient and fun! She's gentle, efficient, very professional and kind. I normally reallllllly struggle with people working on/around my eyes but I barely noticed with her. She was also consistently telling me what she was doing just before doing it throughout the process (which surprisingly, I haven't experienced with others). She made my mother and mother in law look lovely as well! They had a great experience! I wouldn't recommend any one else, the quality of work and the level of comfort and happiness I felt during and after cannot be quantified. You can trust Sarina on your special day (or any day for...

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sarina’s team twice now. BEST ON THE BIZ!! Her team supported my wedding and again for my mother-in-laws 60th birthday. Her team is incredibly talented, professional and accommodating!! Her hair and makeup team use high end, quality products, are attentive to your skin/hair texture, accentuates YOUR best features, and ensures your glam lasts the entire night!! Setting up makeup and hair trials was easy and her studio was the stylish, clean, comfy, and vibing with music!! I last minuted needed a bridal spray tan and reached out to Sarina a local recs… turns out she has a spray tan studio as well! She made room for me in her schedule and literally sprayed me herself. This woman does it all!! I want to give a special shoutout to Stephanie, who was my mother-in-law and I’s hair and makeup artist for a 60th. What a queen!!! Stephanie punctually came to our home, fabulous kit in tow, listened to our wants, considered our different skin/hair types, and transformed us into beautiful goddesses. It was genuinely a pleasure chatting with her and watching her do her magic. I cannot recommend Sarina Durden’s...

One word: Phenomenal. I first had a hair and make-up trial in Feb 2019 with Sarina and LeeAnn. Both were very accommodating in creating my perfect look for my wedding day and not only provided excellent advice on wedding day, but also provided recommendations on AirBnbs for getting-ready locations.

For my wedding day in August, Sarina and LeeAnn did my make-up and hair, along with 5 bridesmaids and the MOB/MOG. Everything went so smoothly that we ended up finishing early, unheard of for a wedding day! I attribute that to their professionalism and organization. Both LeeAnn and Sarina are a joy to be around and we all had so much fun together getting ready before my big day!

Sarina stayed up until my ceremony to help with touch-ups for the bridal party, but she went above and beyond. She helped in holding the train of my dress when walking to picture locations, rallying people together, and other things that seem so small but really mean a lot to someone on their wedding day in making it stress-free! I would recommend Sarina and her team to anyone looking for...
