Truly the best!

Sandy was so awesome to work with on my wedding day. Not only did she make me look beautiful, she made me feel so comfortable with her! And when our hair people did not meet expectations, Sandy was so sweet in sharing hair products etc that she had so we could all fix our hair! She’s such a gem!

An absolute yes!

Sandy is everything you want in a make-up artist – talented, timely, communicative and calming. She did make-up for myself and most of my bridal party. We had varying levels of comfort with makeup and she worked with each of us to get a makeup look that made us look STUNNING but still feel like ourselves. She made the whole experience relaxing and she is such a delight to talk to. And our makeup lasted all night! Would 100% recommend Sandy for any makeup needs!
