As a Female-led company shaped by individual experiences, we are deeply committed to creating welcoming, respectful spaces within an industry that hasn’t always made room for everyone. That commitment informs how we collaborate, how we build, and how we care for the people we serve.

Hi! It’s Us!

We’re a tale of two Sara(h)s with over 20 Broadway credits between us. We first met through the Juilliard Apprenticeship Program in 2016.

Later, while working on a TV show (in the HMU Satellite Room, no less) we found ourselves laying the foundation for our own wig making company. We recognized our common goal — creating high end wigs, hair pieces, and facial hair for all. Our company is committed to providing custom care and service for any personal, entertainment, gender affirming & medical need.

Meet Team Satellite

Sarah Levine

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, I became an NYS licensed cosmetologist in 2010, learned to make wigs as a Juilliard School Hair & Make Up Apprentice in 2011 and began working on broadway in 2012. The rest is history! After a decade working as a theatre & TV stylist, wig maker, hair supervisor & associate designer under Josh Marquette, I realized that making wigs and helping people achieve their hair dreams was in fact, my dream. After reuniting with Donovan on TV, that dream became a reality 2021 when Satellite Wigs, Inc. was founded.

Sara Jane Donovan

Originally from Bucks County, PA, I moved to New York City in 2010 To attend university. Following graduation, I received my Cosmetology License and proceeded to Apprentice at The Juilliard School’s Hair and Makeup Program.

I have built for a variety of wig designers for Broadway and TV/Film since 2016. I have run multiple Broadway shows, and Had a Blast backstage! Knowing I wanted to eventually be my own boss, Levine’s business proposition was quite enticing — and alas, here we are, business Partners.
