Sarah Paulson goes make-up free as she enjoys relaxed trip to the salon in Beverly Hills

She was one of the busiest actresses in Hollywood.

So no doubt Sarah Paulson enjoys every bit of downtime she can get.

The 45-year-old actress was seen on a relaxed trip to the Balayage by Nancy Braun hair salon on Tuesday. 

She showed off her natural looks on the outing as she went make-up free for the occasion.

The American Horror Story actress sported a cream-colored fleece half-zip sweater along with olive green Free City sweatpants along with brown boots.

Sarah accessorized with a green tote bag draped over her shoulder  along with a black face mask.

Her hair looked pristine as her highlighted blonde locks were given a bit of volume up front similar to a pompadour as the rest of it flowed back and was tucked behind her ear.

Sarah made sure to take all precautions as she used a disinfectant wipe on her door handle before driving off. 

She recently starred on controversial Netflix series Ratched as she recently admitted she is ‘proud’ of the exploration in the series she has co-produced with Ryan Murphy.

Paulson told Harper’s Bazaar in an interview back in September she is more interested in playing ‘darker’ and ‘uglier’ roles, after taking on the part of the formidable Nurse Ratched, who was first introduced as the main antagonist in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

During series five of AHS, Sarah played erratic ghost Sally McKenna, who suffered with addiction problems and has been permanently residing at the Hotel Cortez ever since she was murdered in 1994.

Discussing her love of dark roles, Sarah told the publication: ‘It’s where the good stuff is. I’m much more interested in where there isn’t nobility. 

‘Human beings so often are motivated by the ugliest part of themselves … the stuff we don’t want to admit to ourselves about what we’re hungry for.’

Sarah explained that her TV and film career is the one place that she is unafraid to be ‘ugly’, and doesn’t feel afraid to go somewhere unpleasant with her roles.  

She added: ‘I feel a certain sense of pride about being able to do that and without all the things that happen in every other aspect of my life when that comes up. But in this one area, I can actually say I feel capable of being fearless.’

Speaking about her ‘pride’ over how Ratched turned out, Sarah said: ‘We were going for something, and I’m proud of it. It’s an exploration, and it has something to say, and it looks beautiful. It’s dangerous. It’s scary. ‘It’s sexy….I feel a real sense of accomplishment with it.’

Sarah has starred in almost every season of American Horror Story and has won Critics’ Choice Awards for her Supporting Actress roles.
