I met Princess Sarah back in 2017, and I could not have asked for a more warmhearted, consummate hair & makeup stylist and artist. She has kept up with trendy and classic styles and paired those with her elegant craft, bar none. Beyond her real skill to transform you into a more polished, beautiful you, she is a great conversationalist and listener, which helps put you at ease (especially for big events like weddings!). Sarah comes on time, tries out different styles and applies cool techniques, and you will be very fortunate to have crossed paths and work with her. Really wish she could style my hair & makeup every day! read more

Princess Sarah - Makeup Artists Near Me - Cupertino, California

Princess Sarah was referred to me by JJ Chen Photography for engagement hair and makeup and I am so glad that I was able to work with her! Princess Sarah is an expert in hair, makeup, and skin care! Since I've met Princess Sarah, I now see her once a month for facials and not only did she do a wonderful job on my engagement makeup and hair, she is also doing my makeup for my wedding! A few things to note about her service. First, she's awesome! She works with your schedule and thinks about things you might not think about. Second, she does research on the look you want. She doesn't just have one style of hair or makeup, she will do whatever it takes to achieve the look that you want. So if you show her pictures of what you want she will achieve it. But she also will recommend what is best for you. She's extremely good at looking at someone and identifying their best features and then making the best features stand out. Princess Sarah is truly a great person with a good heart. Even if you're not looking for hair and makeup for an event, go see her for skin care! My skin looks even better now that I've been seeing her. My pores have gotten significantly smaller too!!! She is amazing!!! I've added photos from my engagement photo session where Princess Sarah did my hair and makeup. read more

Sarah has been doing my mom's facials for years, and I booked her to do my engagement shoot and wedding hair/makeup. I opted for airbrush makeup, and it came out really great. She works quickly as well, and stayed with me most of the night for touchups. I felt beautiful throughout, and the makeup stayed put all the way through the end of the after party at 2am. Working with her was really fantastic, and I'd highly recommend her! She also did the hair for my bridal party and makeup for my mom + 4 bridesmaids. read more

My review from her previous listing: For my wedding I was debating between hiring a professional make-up artist and a more DIY version, and I'm so glad that I decided to go professionally. Sarah gave me a wonderful package where she did the hair and makeup for myself, my mom, and two of my bridesmaids (who requested it). She took care of all of my bridesmaids for the entire day and she also gave me a completely different and new style for my reception. Before the wedding, she also did facials for me before my wedding, and I'm so glad I did because it really improved the condition of my skin (especially since I had gone to Asia a few months before which really made my skin dry and weird once I got back). Her style is also fantastic and was perfect for me. I'm not very good with makeup, and so I didn't have a lot of specific requests or opinions, just that I didn't look cakey or look like a doll and she definitely did that and far more. Sometimes I feel self-conscious about my appearance, but my confidence in her skills allowed me to just not worry about that the whole day. I authentically felt beautiful without feeling fake for the entire day, which just relieved a lot of stress since I knew there was also a photographer and videographer documenting the entire day in great detail. If you're looking for a make-up artist (particularly if you're Asian), definitely look into getting Sarah to help you. She is seriously passionate about her work and really loves on you throughout the whole process. Update: Since then, I've gone back to Sarah for makeup and other facial/beauty services multiple times and each time I've loved it. read more

Based on the 5-star review she had gotten, I decided to book with Sarah. I didn't really have time for a trial session because I didn't live near the area where my engagement took place. I also didn't quite know what style I wanted except that I want to look young. She and I communicated over emails a few times about the look I wanted, and we agreed to meet the day before my engagement to discuss the details. Her studio was a bit difficult to find due to the lack of signs, but it was spacious, well-equipped, has good lighting and private. I kinda liked that. The meeting was just supposed to be a free consultation, but in order to demonstrate the look to me, Sarah did some work on my hair, and we tried a fair amount of makeup, and she still didn't charge me anything. Because my place is near her studio, I asked her to come to my place on the day of, and she did it without charging me anything. Furthermore, on my engagement day, after she did my hair and makeup, I asked her to draw my mom's eyebrow because I didn't have an eyebrow pencil. Not only that Sarah drew my mom's eyebrow, she gave my mom a blow dry as well, and she wasn't going to charge me for it either. It's not because that she gave me a lot of things for free that I love her, but it's because she's a conscientious worker: she cares that her customer is happy, and she charged what's reasonable to charge. I have dealt with a lot of robotic customer service where every little deviation from a given package is considered a new service and gets charged as such. Sarah got talent. That is already implied in a the 5-star review. I should say her style is natural makeup, which is just what I like. Everyone who saw me, or my engagement's pictures said I looked the best that I had ever looked. As for my hair, all I told Sarah was that I liked braiding, and she just did the rest. My mom liked my hair so much, she insisted that I must have braid for my wedding hairdo as well. Sarah is also pretty cool and personable. I had a pleasant time chatting with her about various thing while she was doing my hair as well. If my wedding wasn't so far from Sarah's area, I would definitely have her do my hair and makeup again. read more

Sarah did my friend's wedding makeup two years ago and I was the bridesmaid at that time. I was impressed so I also have her as my makeup artist for my own wedding this time. We did a trial session first and then we communicated a lot about the hairstyle and the makeup. The final result is just beautiful!! It is even beyond my expectation. She speaks fluent Chinese and that makes our communication much easier. I highly recommend her, especially for Asian girls. read more

Sarah did an incredible job for both my engagement and wedding hair and makeup. I had an Indian wedding and she was very flexible with helping secure my hair around an elaborate and heavy veil, pinning my tikka, as well as making touch ups and restyling my hair between ceremony and reception. Everything held perfectly throughout the day despite hours of carrying the veil and even doing a choreographed dance! I had tried out a couple different makeup trials which had gone very, very poorly. The other vendors had even made me feel bad that my skin was dry and I didn't regularly wear makeup or know much about it. At the end of those trials I looked like a different person, but Sarah was the complete opposite. She made me look like an enhanced version of myself which is something I've never been able to experience through makeup, and she took issues like dry and sensitive skin and worked around them. She even worked around my nightmare situation of getting scars / scabs from the threading and waxing I had gotten a few days before, and somehow through her makeup magic was still able to keep me looking fabulous all day long. Sarah also went above and beyond past her duties of hair and makeup. She helped me get dressed, assisted my photographers, and overall kept my spirits up in the chaos and when things weren't always going as planned. She was my #1 favorite vendor for my wedding and made me feel like a complete star. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. read more

I love Sarah! She's sooo professional and she knows her stuff! I've been going to her for YEARS now and highly recommend her to my friends. read more

Sarah is one of the most professional make up and stylist I have ever met. She studied extensively styling and make up skills in Tokyo Japan and is able to design a make up style matching the person and the occasion whether it is party, or wedding. She is very knowledgeable and skilled in facial treatments and over a course of 3 treatments in two months, I have seen tremendous improvements of my face in every aspect from tone, less wrinkles, no recurring acne and less inflammation. Her charges are very reasonable and she pays very detailed attention to client's needs. She sometimes will use essential oil to help with treatment which is a plus because most people don't have the knowledge of that or will charge extra. She's patient and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended. read more

Very skilled and professional! I have sensitive skin and she did facial for me. Redness went away one day after and my skin looks plumped and smooth. Sarah did hair and makeup for my engagement and wedding ceremony. Super super good, especially for Asian girls! Highly recommend her to my friends:) read more

This was my 2nd time to get hairdo and makeup for company holiday party, and I got sooo many compliments from both events since the makeup was so natural and looked fresh. If I have any other party / event, I believe I will be back to her to get all my makeup and hairdo done. read more

We used Sarah's makeup + hair service for both our engagement photos and wedding. She was amazing. Sarah knew exactly what fit my face and what I was wearing based on her many years of experience. She ended up making me look very natural, which was nice because I don't usually wear a lot of makeup, and very, very beautiful! It was exactly what I wanted and I would definitely go to her again. I recommend her to anyone looking for an extremely talented and affordable make-up artist. read more

Got married yesterday. Found Sarah about a week before. Gorgeous gown rental, check. Makeup session, check. Wedding photographer, check. All of it for less than $1,500, check. I have sensitive skin. I usually don't wear makeup at all because various applicable parts of my face usually start asking for scratching within a few hours, with increasing urgency as time goes on. Make up that was airbrushed on and felt so light it didn't bother me at all for at least 6 hours, check. I have a round face and don't have a lot of hair. What hair I do have is soft, straight, not too long, and silky. A roommate back in college used to experiment with my hair because whatever she did wouldn't stay long. Hairdo that made my face look smaller and stayed in place for at least 6 hours, plus a headband that complemented said hairdo perfectly, check. I also don't have pierced ears. Beautiful clip-on earrings that matched the headband, check. This wasn't the first time I needed makeup+hair done for a wedding (granted the first time for my own), but it was the first time when the makeover worked with me instead of making me wonder whether it was intended for a different face, hair, or even race (makeup skills perfected on Caucasian or African features may not work as well on Asian ones). I felt like a princess. Or a movie star. Maybe? But comfortably me. Thank you, Sarah. Can't wait to see the pictures. (Oh yeah, and she cleaned up all of the makeup afterwards in about 15 minutes.) read more

I loved my makeup that she did for a friend's wedding. Couldn't book with the wedding party so I scheduled an appointment with Sarah. She did such a wonderful job that I received compliments all day! She is a nice and sincere person, which only adds to her great service. I would definitely recommend this salon to others. read more

I found her on yelp, she moved her location but her previous store has 9 reviews and was 5 stars. I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did. She took cared of my white heads, she took care of my black heads, she took care of some skin problem I had for months! The extraction really helped clear up my skin. I will definitely go see her again. read more

I was referred to Sarah by a friend who had previously gotten her wedding makeup and hair from her, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to go with Sarah. Sarah did the hair and makeup for me and the two mothers on my wedding day. She did a fantastic job. The makeup style is exactly what I had in mind. It's elegant and stylish, but the application was so natural that I still looked like myself and not a totally different person. After my wedding ceremony and before the evening reception started, Sarah even returned to retouch on my makeup and gave me a totally new hairstyle that is more appropriate for the dinner reception. It clearly shows in Sarah's work that she is very passionate and dedicated about what she does. The best thing about Sarah is that she is highly skilled in both makeup and hair, so I did not have to look for two different makeup artists for my wedding day. I highly recommend Sarah for wedding day makeup/ hair or other big occasions. =) read more
