This review is long overdue! I've been going to Sandy for over a year now. I became interested in going to her after I noticed how well she did my best friend's makeup, hairdos, hair color, and hair cuts. She does it all and she does everything well!
After I got her info from my best friend, I started going to Sandy for anything beauty related and I've consistently been super happy with her work. At first, I started going to her for hair cuts. I have pretty fine hair, so it's hard for it to have a lot of layers and still look full. She was able to give my hair so much dimension and texture, while still looking very full and voluminous. She also recommended a shampoo that has made my hair stronger and healthier. Sandy is the reason my hair is so long, full, and healthy now! I haven't had my hair this long and healthy since I was a little girl.
When I became engaged, I went to Sandy for all my hair and makeup needs for all the wedding festivities. I went to her for my engagement photoshoot, a Korean hanbok photoshoot, my bridal shower, and of course my wedding. I'm pretty open and courageous with trying new things with makeup, but Sandy tried things on me that I've never tried before, and I loved everything she ever did on me. She did my makeup different every time and I always loved it. I also usually hate wearing fake eyelashes because I always feel like they look too fake on me, but she always chose lashes that I felt matched my eyes and face, and it never looked too fake on me.
Her hair skills are also just always on point. I never like my hair up, but she manages to make everything work well with my face. For my hanbok photoshoot, I had to have my hair up, and she did a great job at making it feel full without me looking like I had a beehive attached to my head like I've seen some updos look like. I just show her pictures of what I like and she always makes it look like the picture and tells me realistically how my hair will look based on how much hair I have. I was happy when she told me that I didn't need extensions for my photoshoots or my wedding day! Sandy knows how to get bold with both hair and makeup, but still knows how to keep it from feeling too overbearing.
I had hired her to come do hair and makeup for my wedding day for me and my bridal party at the hotel we were staying at. She works great with crazy schedules and is super flexible and quick. She laid out a timeline for us and gave herself a good amount of buffer time for any possible issues that might've come up. She started off by setting my hair early in the morning. One of my bridesmaids was also staying at a hotel nearby so she went next and everything worked out great with timing. My other bridesmaid was coming from further away and had issues with her ride, so she came late. Sandy worked it out so that she can start on my eye makeup, and squeeze in my other bridesmaid once she arrived to not waste any time. Everything worked out great, even with the switches in the schedule! And she did a great subtle makeup job on my mom too who NEVER wears makeup. Sandy also helped fluff my wedding dress to air it out before the ceremony. She was just super helpful with every aspect of preparing ourselves on the wedding day. And her work always LASTS without need for touchups. Wind and sweat didn't ruin my hair and makeup. My hair always felt secure, and she doesn't even put in a ton of hairspray like I've seen others do. My hair was still flowy and soft.
She hasn't done my hair color before yet because I've just never dyed my hair before in my life, but I would trust her to do my hair color too because I've seen her work on others and my friend, and she knows how to make it feel subtle and natural. Thank you Sandy for being consistently amazing!
Bonus, she's super fun to talk to and always makes your appointments with her a fun and enjoyable experience. :) read more
