Jessica L. Sent on 11/09/2023Sachiko made us look beautiful and she has a beautiful soul
Sachiko is outstanding! This is an updated review post-wedding and if I could give more than 5 stars I totally would. Sachiko arrived right on time to start the day and completed hair and makeup looks for me, my mother-in-law, my mother and my sister. We ran exactly on schedule and she was fabulous with helping my mom and the groom's mother figure out what kind of look to go for. Everyone's "wedding day look" turned out fantastic! I also hired Sachiko for extended hours to follow us around for touchups and throughout the day and she went above and beyond to make sure all of our looks stayed intact, using meticulous details to help make everyone looked amazing through the entire afternoon and evening. We had a small mishap with my veil because the photographers had accidentally made a tear in it while taking pictures and Sachiko came to the rescue with her handy sewing skills! She even helped to patch up my veil so that it wouldn't ruin the mood - you could hardly tell anything even happened to it! And as we were taking photos, Sachiko went above and beyond to fan out my long wedding dress train, helped me move around in my gown easily, and kept my high-maintenance hairstyle looking flawless the entire time. I cannot recommend Sachiko enough - she is truly a wonderful artist, and has an absolutely beautiful soul. You won't regret it if you go with Sachiko for your special day! -

Simply the best!!!!
Sachiko is exceptionally talented and wonderful to work with!!! She is responsive, accommodating, and sweet, and my makeup turned out PERFECT. Everyone was telling me how beautiful I looked, and I was so happy with the results. Sachiko listened to all my concerns, and she was able deliver the exact makeup style I was looking for. I will definitely hire Sachiko in the future. -

Sachiko was God sent, she came early to set up for my AM Sunday ceremony and when I say my makeup alongside my MOH and MOTB never looked so good, trust me. Her airbrush technique and makeup is an art form! I'm truly grateful to have found her for such a special day in my life. She made it all look effortlessly soft glam as I requested. I loved that she made all my best facial features shine, I felt so beautiful! (and my makeup lasted well into the after party ~15 hours). She is THAT talented. She was so patient and I trust her with any suggestions she put forth, False lashes, CHECK! More? OK! She accommodated all my requests and is just the sweetest woman ever. I would definitely be requesting her for more makeup and hair do's! -

An Incredible and Accommodating Artist!!
Sachiko is an incredible makeup artist who not only has amazing skills, but has been here by our side for our wedding planning process. We sought out Sachiko before Covid-19 and our wedding was unfortunately delayed. Nevertheless, Sachiko never left our side and was able to come through on our big day. She not only did an incredible job on the bridal makeup and hair, but for four additional people as well - and very quickly. She took everyones preferences into consideration and had very impressive attention to detail. Everyone had a unique look and our makeup lasted all day. Sachiko is truly skilled and we will definitely love to work with her again in the future! -

Patricia E. Sent on 12/15/2021Fantastic!
She is a very talented artist! Loved her portfolio (natural/glory) and loved how she did my make-up! She was able to recreate the makeup looks on my Pinterest easily. She took the time to present to me at least 5 hairstyles on our trial day. She also accommodated my request to change my hair for the engagement photoshoot (I went straight to the engagement photoshoot after my trial). She is so sweet, and my family loved her too. I would love to be on her chair again! -

Sachiko is best!!
Every bride knows wedding makeup and hair is NOT cheap but you get what you pay for. I found Sachiko through a friend's recommendation and decided to do a trial with her. As soon as we started talking, I knew I wanted to work with her because she is the absolute sweetest woman alive! Throughout my 3 hour trial, we chatted nonstop and it made the time fly by. I ended up going with her 6 services package for myself and the two moms (I hired a separate MUA for my bridesmaids to save time). I wanted natural-looking makeup and she did an amazing job making me look and feel like a queen! -

Amy K. Sent on 04/10/2021Choose Sachiko For Your Wedding Day!
I can't recommend Sachiko enough! She is professional and knows the industry/weddings incredibly well. I did my wedding makeup and hair trial at her studio (it's very clean!) in Astoria and that's when I fell in love with her! She is patient and very open to feedback which I really appreciated. My "natural look" makeup looked great. I wanted an updo for my wedding and I was going from the trial to our engagement photo shoot and she took the time to change my updo into a half up half down style so that my future husband wouldn't see my wedding day hair which was so thoughtful of her to offer to do for me! On the day of the wedding, Sachiko came to set up early and my mom loved her too. She made me feel BEAUTIFUL and confident. She knew exactly what to say to calm my nerves. Oh yes- it's so fun talking to her and she kept me laughing. She even helped with my wedding dress and stayed longer to give me an extra touchup before the ceremony- talk about going above and beyond. I am so thankful for Sachiko- you should definitely choose her to do your makeup for your wedding! -

Best decision ever made
Sachiko did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding! She is so experienced, talented, and kind. I never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. My hair and makeup was absolutely perfect. She was extremely patient and was willing to experiment with all different hair and makeup looks during my trial to pinpoint the exact look I wanted. Her experience allowed her to provide great advice and perfectly execute my vision. She’s so easy going and was extremely attentive on the day of the wedding. She was always on stand by for touch ups during photos and even took behind the scenes photos!! She also did hair and makeup for my mother, mother in law, and sister. They were all blown away by her talent and kindness. She’s extremely punctual and kept us on schedule for our tight timeline. She even helped with buttoning all the buttons on my dress! I can’t express how happy I am to have hired Sachiko!!

Iris Sent on 05/25/2019NYC wedding at Harvard Club in March 2019
Sachiko is the best! I worked with her for my wedding at the Harvard Club in New York City in March 2019 and cannot be happier with her work. Absolutely LOVED my hair and makeup and all my five bridesmaids loved theirs! Sachiko also did a beautiful job with our moms' short hairs! The best part of working with Sachiko is how caring and thoughtful she is in interacting with her clients and how passionate she is about her job. She really does want to make you the most beautiful bride and, trust me, she can pull it off! :) Highly recommend Sachiko for any events! -
Vivian Sent on 10/11/2018Sachiko is simply marvelous! As soon as I had a wedding date, my first email was to her (girls - she books up quickly so don't wait!). Sachiko is a veteran and the best at what she does. She is so bubbly, sweet and super positive! As a bride, the hair/makeup artist is one of the first people you see on your wedding day. Her personality definitely starts your morning right! She saw a few pictures and immediately knew what I wanted! She touched me up all day and would fix my hair and veil in between photos, etc. She was always there to make sure I looked great! I can't thank Sachiko enough for making me look and feel so amazing! If you are getting married, don't hesitate to hire her. It will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding!

Stacey D. Sent on 11/19/2018Effortless, natural beauty
I really wanted to find a hair and makeup artist that would still make me look authentically myself, but a cleaned up, better version - and Sachiko nailed it! She was so wonderful and bubbly, keeping me and my bridal party entertained all day long. She went with the flow and was just incredible. I can't recommend her highly enough! -
Mindy Sent on 07/30/2018Sachiko is the absolute best, in every sense! Professional, friendly, kind, and crazy attention to detail. I hired her for my wedding on 7/7/18. She did hair and makeup for myself, 3 bridesmaids, my mom, and mother-in-law. Writing this review, I just realized that's more services than we agreed to originally! But she is so nice she never said a word. Everyone loved how they looked and the hairstyles did not budge all night. One thing I highly recommend is doing a trial first. I was adamant that I didn't want to look too overly made up, but was also unsure of which hairstyle I liked. Sachiko listened, and together with some sample pictures I showed her came up with the perfect look. Somehow in her greatness, she remembered everything that I wanted, and pretty much duplicated the exact look on the wedding day. Did I say she was amazing? Because she really is!
Also, listen to her when she tells you how much time she needs, she knows what she is talking about! I underestimated how much time everything would take and had her arrive an hour later than she originally requested. We didn't run late according to the schedule I set, but I did have less time for pictures before the ceremony. Sachiko even stood on the sidelines while we were taking our first look and group pictures, every so often running over to touch up my makeup. She stayed waaay later than I contracted her for, but again, she never uttered a peep or a complaint. And she stood the WHOLE time, never taking a break, even when my mom pleaded with her to please please drink some water or eat a sandwich, Sachiko politely declined and kept going. She is a beast!
In conclusion - if you need hair and makeup services, and need someone who is skilled, professional, and the nicest person ever, you are a fool if you don't hire Sachiko. :) -

User2541251 Sent on 02/24/2016I just had my wedding this past weekend, and I can't wait to write Sachiko a raving review for her work. She is one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet, and her bright personality definitely made my day even more positive.
Pricing: I asked around a few stylists before going with Sachiko, and she is by far one of the more reasonably priced vendors, even though her work surpasses many. I paid an extra $20 for tolls since she had to travel to New Jersey for me. I also got her 10 service package, but I actually needed more (more like 18-20 services). So she asked her friend to help her out, Reiko, who is also amazing and did a wonderful job. In total for 6 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, and touch-ups for 6 groomsmen + groom (only airbrush, can't even tell they had makeup on, but their complexion was more even, which is great for photos)--I paid a little under 2K, which was my budget.
Workmanship: Sachiko reads faces very well, and she did the makeup of 4 of my bridesmaids beautifully. I like her work because she never goes too heavy on the makeup, but heavy enough that the photos turn out amazing. She does the natural look very well. In fact, I had 2 girls at my wedding tell me that the makeup looked really good on everyone. She's also really good with hairstyles too and can do complicated braids and buns very well. I've had some makeup artists that does great makeup, but never gets the hair quite right. Sachiko does both very well, as does her friend, Reiko.
Extra: Sachiko was also super sweet during my photoshoot (first look) right before the ceremony. She followed us around with her makeup bag, ready to give me a touch-up between shots. She also helped me pick up my dress train, fix my veil, hold my bouquet, etc. She even left me the lip gloss so I can do the touchup myself. She was trying to be helpful in every way, and I really appreciated that.

User2411504 Sent on 11/05/2015My knowledge of makeup and hair is extremely limited, especially for weddings, so I turned to other friends who all raved about Sachiko and told me to book her ASAP. I honestly did not even shop around for other artists due to a crazy work schedule and also a bit of laziness. I am super glad I did. She books very quickly as I had to book her over a year in advance!
She is absolutely amazing and the sweetest person you'll meet. She is so lovable and so generous and kind. After my apartment building caught on fire, she reached out and even offered her place to stay temporarily! She is considerably thoughtful and truly is focused on your own happiness, especially on the big day. She is definitely affordable compared to other artists, and like the other girls who have written reviews, I used her 10 services for $1000 deal.
Her work is definitely the best and she really did make me feel like a princess.
From the hair and make up trial to all my personal incidents leading up to the big day, Sachiko was incredible and I would recommend her to all brides in NYC!! You definitely won't regret it.
