was looking for someone who could execute a specific hairstyle and makeup look for my brother's wedding, where I was a guest, and I'm so glad I came across Sandy! From beginning to end, the booking process was easy, and she was thorough with communication every step of the way. I wanted a half-up hairstyle with soft waves and a bronzy eye look to complement my dress, and Sandy absolutely delivered! She was so sweet, welcoming, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the appointment. I received so many compliments on both my hair and makeup, and everything lasted all night without needing touch-ups. I couldn't have been happier with the results. If you're considering booking Sandy, don't hesitate--you'll be in great hands! read more

Glam By Sands - Hair and makeup with the dress - Makeup Artists Near Me

When I first started my search for a MUA, I was concerned about finding someone that has experience with southeast Asian complexions in the North Bay. Thankfully I found Sandy and she was able to travel North to Sonoma County for services! Sandy was incredible to work with from start to finish. She was so accommodating in our emails, answering all of my questions and willing to add services to our contract even at the last minute. Day of, she made feel calm and kept me distracted with conversation while the bridesmaids around me were in a frenzy getting ready. She did two services for me, hair and makeup, and typically I would assume someone good at makeup wouldn't do hair as well, but she absolutely slayed both!! She is incredibly talented and kind, even helping my bridesmaids around her with any questions they had about their hair and makeup. She made me feel so beautiful and still like myself. Sandy listened to all of my desires and made me look exactly like I how envisioned. I am so lucky I found her! read more

Sandy is so talented at what she does! She truly cares and listens to what the bride is looking for and articulates it perfectly. I got a trial a month beforehand and it and although it looked AMAZING, I learned I actually wanted a different style. She asked me specific questions about what I wanted to change and on the wedding day, my hair was executed PERFECTLY! I couldn't have asked for anything else. The date of my wedding had a pretty severe wind warning and my hair stayed put all night long, my photographer was even surprised!! I am so grateful for Sandy - she made me feel so beautiful and confident on my wedding day. Couldn't recommend her enough for bridal services. She is also the sweetest person ever and getting to talk to her the morning of the wedding was calming and fun!! 10/10 recommend Sandy read more

Sandy was amazing and so sweet! I hired her for 2 events for my Indian wedding - an evening of dancing and a very early morning ceremony. Although we didn't have a trial, my hair and makeup looked amazing and I barely used the touch up kit she provided. The first night, I danced and jumped and sweated and still looked great. The second morning, I slept in my hair/makeup (not recommended lol) and still looked great the next day. I also really appreciate that she went above and beyond by handling my mom (my mom loved her!) and helping with getting ready (tikka setting, dupatta pinning). I could not have gotten ready without her! read more

Sandy and her hairstylist did an amazing job on my makeup + hair! They both made me feel so beautiful that day--probably the most beautiful I've ever felt. The hair stayed all night long, even through all the hours of dancing, sweating, running around, AND my 17-hour flight to Vietnam the next day. My makeup was MATTE and everything was perfect (I didn't even have to touch-up anything). I can't thank them enough for bringing my vision to life. I couldn't have imagined working with a better team and I hope I get to work with Sandy and her team again sometime in the future. read more

Sandy was a great HMUA for my wedding and I highly recommend her. I sent inspo pics for both hair and makeup, and had a trial which was included in the package I bought. She tuned my inspo pictures to be perfect for me and I absolutely loved the result. She was professional and super helpful the day of the wedding. Bridesmaid glam was included in my package which Sandy let me apply to my mom, and she was so patient and understanding of what my mom requested since she rarely wears much makeup and was a little nervous. I am so glad that I booked with her!! read more

Man where to begin! Definitely would give 1000 stars if I could. Sandy did my wedding back in June of 2024 and she was an absolute angel!!! We had some decent hiccups regarding the wedding itself and Sandy was the one and only vendor that made me feel like it was my day and nothing else mattered. She dealt with my mother who isn't the easiest person to get along with and she was so so patient and handled the situation so gracefully. She handled all of the last minute changes as they came like the pro she is. She was also super super sweet and did both of my flower girls hairs which just topped the cake for me honestly. I didn't think hair and make up was a big deal but honestly after having her, I would recommend her to everyone I know and she got me semi interested in makeup haha! She was super responsive and the communication was above par. I don't think my wedding would have been as amazing if I didn't have her that day. I'm trying to find an excuse to use her again HA! But love her and her team and you won't regret having her as your H&M whether it's for your wedding or a photoshoot or even a simple party, she is your gal! read more

If you're even thinking about booking Sandy, just do it already! I was so lucky to have had her while she was in Vegas! After my first trial with someone else didn't go as planned, I came to Sandy a little nervous but hopeful. I showed her how I normally do my own makeup and a few inspo pics, and let me just say... she didn't just meet my expectations--she went above the'. She understood my vision instantly and elevated it in a way that still felt 100% like me, just bridal-glam! At our trial she took her time and was able to complete two hair styles; an up do and some Hollywood waves-although both were perfect I went with an updo! & she even offered a second trial before my wedding date, but time wasn't on my side. Sandy is not only insanely talented, but she is also the SWEETEST, most easygoing person to be around. On a day that can feel stressful, she made everything feel fun, relaxed, and honestly like we were just hanging out getting ready together. Her energy is unmatched! What really sets her apart is how much she cares--she takes her time, perfects every detail, and you can tell she takes so much pride in her work. I truly feel SO lucky to have had Sandy as part of my wedding day. She's literally the best & that face beat and hair stayed all night! read more

I originally booked a trial with Sandy because I was torn between an updo, half up half down, or Hollywood waves--and from the start, she made the entire experience feel effortless and exciting. She made me feel so confident and beautiful, especially around something I've always been insecure about: the volume, texture, and density of my hair. In the past, other stylists have complained about how much hair I have, but Sandy celebrated it and made me feel like a star. She was genuinely excited to work with my hair, and it showed. On my wedding day, she absolutely slayed my look with the most stunning Hollywood waves--I've never felt more like myself and more beautiful. read more

Glam By Sands - Natural glam make up done by Sandy. - Makeup Artists Near Me

I hired Sandy for my wedding on 8/12/23 for bridal hair make up, along with my mom, and sister. She is very organized and had an outlined schedule of when she was doing who's make up or hair. She came to our hotel and was on time. Provided us touch up kits for later. I had my trial with her and she did an amazing job. I couldn't stop looking at myself! When it came to my wedding I requested little changes and she made sure I was content with my make up and hair. Also, she even tested hair extension clips on for my hair trial. Aside from her work she is so sweet! She made it very fun for my family and bridesmaids. She ensured I was comfortable and is very easy to talk to.

Sandy is amazing! I would give her 10+ stars if possible. She did my makeup and hair for my family photo shoot. I love how the makeup was not cakey at all and translated really well in my photos! I noticed my make up lasted a very long time even without touch up. I have monolid eyes and a lot of makeup artist I've been to struggled to do my eye makeup and create a look that compliment my eyes. But Sandy did such a good job and made my eyes look bigger with her technics. She gave me a lot of tips on how to apply my eyeshadows and eyeliner as well before cause I was so happy with the result!

Glam By Sands - Family photo. Makeup and hair by Sandy Nguyen - Makeup Artists Near Me

Sandy is probably the only makeup artist who has ever understood the type of makeup look that I wanted. I have asian eyes so I'm always worried that make up artists will try to create makeup looks that they normally do on normal lids as opposed to monolids. I gave Sandy several reference pics and SHE UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT! And as a bonus, she's super sweet and friendly Totally recommend her! read more

Vegas!! Y'all are lucky to have Sandy in the area! She's really friendly and easy to talk to so the whole experience was really relaxing. Also during the session, she was so gentle I felt like I was being pampered at a spa. My everyday makeup is pretty simple so I was excited to let Sandy do her thing when I asked her to go full glam on me. I usually stick to neutrals so I was glad that she used eyeshadow colors that wasn't too outside of my comfort zone. Overall I loved my final result! Love how she went all out, but I still looked like me. Highly recommend! read more

Sandy did my bridal makeup in January 4, 2025 and she was an amazingly sweet person to work with. I wanted to do Thai style make up and I was apprehensive about finding a make-up artist in Vegas that knew how to do make up on Asian features let alone Thai style make up since it isn't common in the U.S yet. Sandy was open and familiar to Thai style make up and was very receptive to the photo examples I gave. I couldn't have had a smoother wedding day without her calm demeanor, everything came out so good and I truly felt most beautiful on my wedding day. read more

3 huge things stand out the most to me about Sandy's artistry and work ethic: 1. Her preparedness- she comes with an arsenal of tools, cleaning supplies, and can literally create any look you have in mind and also makes great suggestions 2. Her skill- Sandy's done full makeup for me for indoor and outdoor photoshoots as well as events, and every single time my expectations have been totally surpassed 3. The light and love she brings into the room, this toooootally matters when you might be getting ready for something and a little stressed or unsure. I'd give 10 stars if I could! Trust me, hire Sandy :) read more

Sandy is an amazing makeup artist!! She is now my go-to makeup artist for any event/special occasion -- she always comes through making sure I look/feel good! She is incredibly professional, welcoming, and makes the whole experience so comfortable/makes sure you're comfortable. She truly has a talent in either enhancing your natural beauty and/or doing a whole glam transformation -- totally up to whatever look it is that you're looking for! Also, being Asian there's not many artists who know how to enhance/accommodate Asian features super well so it's amazing finding an artist such as Sandy with extensive knowledge and experience working on Asian clients. You're left feeling so beautiful and a confident, bad B at the end of the session! I attached photos of my last session with her from my birthday -- transformed me from a 13 year old grandma to a 28 year old baddie! Thank you so much Sandy!!! read more
