Sara-ann grew up on a small family farm with her parents and two younger sisters in Massachusetts. After receiving a degree in Fine Arts she moved to Boston and began her career in the beauty industry. She graduated from The Learning Institute For Beauty Sciences and worked at an upscale salon on Newbury Street in Boston. After feeling burnt out from two years in a fast moving and over-stimulating salon environment, Sara-ann decided it was time for change. She had six months of adventure and exploration while traveling cross country and eventually landing in Olympia. 

From her time in Boston, Sara-ann recognizes the importance of self-care and taking time to nurture ourselves. The Beauty Temple was born out of a vision and longing to create a truly nurturing and intimate salon experience.

Sara-ann is committed to providing holistic salon & spa products and services that do not cause harm to our bodies or to our environment. She believes that true beauty resides in a healthy body, mind, and spirit as well as a healthy planet!
