Founder: Sarah Crawford

Australia native with a passion for all things beauty. Back in AUS I spent my time honing my craft and executing about 70 weddings a year doing both bridal hair and makeup, here in MN I average about 50 weddings a year, while maintaining a personal training client base and lash clientele.

I started makeup in 1998 as a makeup counter assistant for Max Factor then went on to do my hairdressing and esthetician certification in 2000. I studied with StarFX makeup to the stars where I went on to work on film and television series and editorial photoshoots, while continuing to do hair and makeup for destination weddings across Australia and New Zealand.

Sarah started her beauty career Down Undah’ in sunny, gorgeous Australia. And while she’s left that home behind, she’s brought with her the airy, effortless vibes of a true Aussi. When you sit in her chair or attend a training session, you can expect dedication to her art with easy-going conversation and commitment to excellence. Need further convincing?
