Meet Sarah And Brittney | Cera Salon Owners

We had the good fortune of connecting with Sarah And Brittney and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sarah and Brittney, what are you inspired by?
We are inspired by the unique beauty within every individual. Our passion lies in enhancing that natural beauty and helping people see the best in themselves. At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to building confidence—because when you feel beautiful, you shine from the inside out.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Our art is all about bringing out the natural beauty in every individual. At our salon, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all beauty standards. Instead, we focus on enhancing what makes each person unique—because confidence shines brightest when you feel like the best version of yourself. Our goal is always to help our clients leave feeling more empowered and radiant than when they walked in.

What sets us apart is the intention behind everything we do. We take time to truly connect with our clients, listen to their stories, understand their lifestyles, and tailor our services to reflect who they are—not just what’s trending.

Getting to where we are today wasn’t easy. Like many entrepreneurs, we’ve faced our share of long nights, self-doubt, and unexpected roadblocks. There were moments of financial stress, times we questioned if we were on the right path, and seasons where growth felt slow. But through it all, we stayed focused on our purpose and passion. The belief that we could create a space where people feel beautiful and seen kept us going.

One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned is that success doesn’t happen overnight—and that’s okay. Growth is a journey. We’ve learned to celebrate the small wins, trust the process, and always lead with authenticity.

What we want the world to know about our brand is that we’re not just a beauty salon—we’re a place of transformation, self-care, and connection. Our story is rooted in love for our craft, dedication to our clients, and a deep belief that beauty is already within—you just need the right environment to let it shine.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
All of our besties already live here—but if one happened to be visiting, we’d make sure they got the full Newport experience.

We’d start with a visit to our salon, obviously. A little self-care, a fresh look, and the kind of vibe that sets the tone for the whole trip.

After that, we’d hit all our go-to spots: dinner at Gulfstream, drinks on the rooftop at Restoration Hardware, and a proper steak night at Ocean 48. At some point, we’d spend a full day in Laguna Beach—shopping, walking the coast, maybe stopping in at a few favorite boutiques and grabbing something good to eat with an ocean view.

The goal? A week that feels effortless, elevated, and unforgettable—just like Orange County..

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
We definitely wouldn’t be where we are today without the support and encouragement of those around us. First and foremost, we want to shout out our amazing clients—your trust in us and your loyalty inspire us every single day. You’re the reason we do what we do.

We also want to recognize our mentors and fellow professionals in the beauty industry who have shared their knowledge, pushed us to grow, and reminded us that there’s always more to learn. And of course, our family and friends—thank you for the love, late-night pep talks, and believing in us even when we doubted ourselves.

This journey has been a beautiful mix of passion, hard work, and the unwavering support of a community that lifts us up—and for that, we’re incredibly grateful.
