“Liesel and her team were absolutely exceptional—from our first interaction to the wedding day. They were always so positive and responsive. The hair and makeup trial was a true highlight of my wedding experience; I had a blast experimenting with different styles. Liesel and her team were incredibly skilled and helped me achieve my wedding look despite my VERY vague and uncertain vision. On the big day, everything went perfectly. Liesel and her team were professional and blended seamlessly with everyone. The best part? My updo was flawless. As someone with a lot of hair who loves to dance, I can honestly say Liesel and her team worked wonders. My hair and makeup stayed perfect from the moment I walked down the aisle until the final song. I can't recommend Liesel and her team highly enough!”

Hi I'm Sarah! I am a Bridal Stylist and Colorist located at Rose Quartz Hair Studio in Leominster MA.

If you need anything done in the salon I specalized in lived in, low maintenance color.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Sarah's skillset is an absolute 10/10. We first met at my trial and she was so open to hear my vision and make it come true. We also played with a few different "styles" to better fit the hairpiece my mom hand-made and my veil. Day of the wedding, she recreated everything we did for my trial. She brought on Lex as a second artist (who is also a gem of a human and 10/10 skillset) for the rest of my wedding party. Everyone's hair (bridesmaids, mothers, flower girl) was done in a timely manner and absolutely beautiful. My husband and I had a nor'easter on our wedding day and so Sarah did a little extra to make sure my hair was weather proof - AND IT WAS! I have naturally curly hair and with the rain, my hair did not frizz, curls did not flatten, and hairstyle did not change! Even sweating on the dance floor did not change my style. It also felt "natural" and not like I had a stiff wig on my head (hair flowed when I flowed). She is amazing and I highly recommend!!”

She brought multiple options based on my likes day-of and created a beautiful look that was everything I’d hoped for.

On the morning of the wedding, they came directly to our getting-ready suite at the resort. Eliminating the need to travel to a salon made our morning feel so relaxed, seamless, and entirely stress-free. The artists arrived early, set up efficiently, and were incredibly punctual with their timeline. They did a phenomenal job on hair and makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, our flower girl, and my mother in law. What impressed me most was how attentive they were to everyone's individual preferences. They listened carefully to what each person wanted, tailored the looks perfectly, and made sure everyone felt confident and beautiful. Everyone looked absolutely stunning, and the quality of their work speaks for itself. Our hair and makeup held up flawlessly all day and night—which was no small feat, considering that we actually experienced a surprise bout of hail during our outdoor ceremony, followed by hours of dancing on a completely packed dance floor at the reception. Despite the wild weather and the sweat from dancing, not a single curl fell out of place, and our makeup stayed totally fresh without needing touch-ups.

“From start to finish, working with The Stately Rose team was a pleasure. From my initial conversation with Johanna about my vision for my look, I could tell this was the right salon for me and my girls. Her careful attention to detail and genuine care for me as a potential client impressed me. Throughout the process, Yoli, the bridal coordinator, responded to all of my questions promptly and cheerfully. Marielly and Janelle made me feel so comfortable and confident at my trial and were open and responsive to feedback and follow-up questions I had about my own look as well as questions my girls wanted to ask. On my wedding day, my bridesmaids, mom, and I got ready at the pink salon. The space is bright, airy, and full of cute spots for photos. Marielly and Janelle gave each of my girls the same VIP treatment they gave me at my trial and they kept us on time to ensure the rest of the day went smoothly. My group ranged widely in terms of needs (we had hair that was curly, straight, thick, and thin and girls who ranged from wearing little to no makeup regularly to girls who regularly go full glam and wanted bright and colorful looks), and each girl ended up with a look that was perfect for them! Our hair and makeup lasted all night long! While the final product was impressive, what stands out the most to me about working with The Stately Rose was how they made me feel. Every question or concern I had was treated as important (no matter how small) in the lead-up to the day. In the salon, Marielly and Janelle created a positive, fun, relaxed, and empowering environment. They were the ultimate hype-women all morning and they really set the tone for the day moving forward. It was especially meaningful to me how much care our team took in accommodating health and safety concerns among my party; requests we made to keep those with compromised immune systems or allergies comfortable and safe were made without hesitation. We all left the salon to start the rest of the busy and stressful day feeling like our best selves. I could not have asked for a better glam team and I’d recommend The Stately Rose to any bride-to-be without hesitation!”

“Last month I got married at The Sanctuary on Roosevelt Island, and I had the pleasure of working with Jackie Fanara, an artist from Melissa’s makeup team. She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish- it felt like hanging out with an old friend! She is so incredible at making her clients feel comfortable, listened to, and pampered. She went completely above and beyond- when the bridal party was finishing photos outside and it started pouring, she got SOAKED while shielding my bridesmaids and making sure everyone was able to get safely from the park to the vehicles to inside the venue. She literally used herself as a shield and then proceeded to to help everyone get touch ups while they dried off- by the time the ceremony had started, no one would have had an idea that everyone had been rained on. By the end of the day, she was everyone’s best friend. She was an angel that day and I am so thankful she was my artist. If you’re looking for an incredibly talented artist who will charm you with her positive attitude and incredible sense of humor- Jackie is your gal. Special shout out to Tressa, who did the makeup for my mother in law and few other people’s on my husband’s side of the family- they all loved her and said that she made them feel so special! And of course, shout out to Melissa for being lovely and communicative while setting me up with her team!”
