Sacha was clutch for me at my wedding. She did an amazing job on my hair and makeup and styled a beautiful flower crown as well. When a lot of things did not go as expected, my hai...
r & makeup were two things I felt 1000% confident about. She also did a lovely job on my mom and sister, and is great at crafting a natural look hard to come by in the wedding industry. She has a sweet, calming, lovely personality which was much appreciated by our nerves on the day. At first I was hesitant to book her because of our budget, but I can honestly say I felt this was worth the expense and recommend her to anyone.
This review is long overdue, but I couldn't *not* gush about Sacha and her prodigious artistry! In the Bay Area we're not short of hair and makeup stylists, but it took me quite a ...
while to land on a portfolio that I liked. In my day-to-day I wear minimal makeup, if any, and I didn't want to look entirely different on one of the most important days of my life—just like the best version of myself. My trial with Sacha was so fun, and the day of was even better. She and her assistant managed to style an entire wedding party containing a beautiful variety of skin complexions, hair lengths, and comfort-with-product levels, and everyone looked gorgeous and confident. Did I mention that they managed all this even with a power outage on site? I could go on and on about what a great experience I had, but perhaps the most telling thing is that my bridesmaids continue to praise Sacha's work and demeanor, even months afterward.
But with wedding vendors, the on-the-day service is just part of the equation; just as important is the ease of working together leading up to the big day, especially when one party (i.e. me) has never done the whole wedding day-of schedule thing before. Our collaboration started pre-covid, and throughout the long period of pandemic uncertainty Sacha was always patient, understanding, and calm as the schedule (and everything else) changed and then changed again until we could finally have something in relatively safe conditions.
tl;dr Sacha rocks!!
Sacha was wonderful to work with. I was a bride-to-be who had no idea what she wanted and Sacha was so incredibly patient and supportive. Day-of, Sacha fit right into the getting r...
eady party. Never frazzled, she helped my MoH handle a wardrobe snafu just as we were supposed to be heading out. Truly a pleasure to work with!
Working with Sacha was the absolute best! I wanted to have someone laid back and easy to work with that offered a natural makeup look. She was the perfect fit! During our trial, I ...
got to know her and we were able to discuss our COVID precautions so both sides felt comfortable. The day of she was able to power through all the necessary ladies without an assistant and finished flawlessly on time. (She does work with assistants if needed.) Plus she joked around and chatted with us, making it feel like she was part of the wedding party, making everyone feel more comfortable.
Additionally, she came back for a GLITTER BAR, which she absolutely killed! Biodegradable and easy to clean glitter. She gave each guest a cleaning kit and stayed overtime because it was such a hit! ASK HER ABOUT IT, such a fun little addition to a party!
Book this lady now before you miss out!!
Sacha's kind nature and gentle touch were hugely appreciated when she did my bridal trial and wedding makeup. She listened intently, including when I changed my mind about what I w...
anted color-wise after the trial. I left feeling like myself on my wedding day, which is exactly what I wanted. Sacha brought out my best features and her knowledge about what makeup works best for photography and particular lighting was incredibly helpful. I would recommend her to any friend or family member.
Sacha did a great job on my hair and makeup, as well as my maid of honor's hair and makeup! I was looking for simple, natural makeup and an elegant updo for my long hair with some ...
fresh flowers and got many compliments on the style, which she based on a French chignon. I wasn't in town before the wedding, so we met the morning of the wedding and everything turned out wonderfully . She even did our (female) 0fficiant's hair, and a close friend and guest's hair that we hadn't discussed in advance, and was overall organized and very pleasant to work with. In addition, her services seemed very fairly priced compared to several others I communicated with before working with her.
As a woman of “a certain age”, I was most pleased with Sacha’s skill and professionalism. Even though I feel competent in most parts of my life, applying makeup is not one of them...
. I enjoy art and fashion, but feel insecure when it comes to makeup. Sacha is sensitive to what I’m comfortable with, the “less is more” approach. She understands skin tones and makes the most of one’s natural assets. As an older woman, I can feel intimidated looking at magazine articles about makeup. They often are geared to younger women and seem unrelated to my lifestyle. After looking at my before and after self with Sacha, I felt attractive and at ease..very good feelings, indeed.
Sacha helped take care of me and my bridal party for my wedding in Point Reyes Station. She brought along Tessa (an additional stylist) the day of the wedding to try to make sure w...
e had the best chances of running on time. Everyone was extremely happy with the way their hair and/or makeup turned out. Both Sacha and Tessa were honestly great! I would recommend Sacha to anyone out there that wants an amazingly sweet and talented hair stylist/makeup artist for their wedding. From day 1 of meeting up with her for my consult, I definitely felt as ease and knew I'd be in good hands.
Sacha is extremely talented, friendly, and easy to work with. She takes time to craft the perfect look with you and does not cut corners. Her studio is clean, modern and impeccably...
decorated. She pays attention to detail in order to make sure her client's needs are met and expectations are exceeded (like bringing you a fresh pastry and coffee for an early morning glam session, come on, that's AWESOME!) Sacha is truly a ray of sunshine, and brings so much positive energy to the table, during a stressful time (like wedding planning) this is much appreciated. HIGHLY recommend.
I love Sacha!! Both her talent and her energy. I booked her for my wedding in February and she was beyond amazing. My daily makeup is pretty bare consisting of mascara and some li...
ght blush so I was in need of much guidance. Sacha was able to convey my glammed natural self and I didn't feel like I had someone else's face on for my wedding day. I felt beautiful and radient and loved how it made me feel. And the makeup lasted way into the night.
Communication with Sacha was easy and enjoyable. I met with her for a trial and I knew she was an energy that I would love to have around during my wedding day preparations. She even had a touch up kit for me which I truly appreciated. During our chats, I noticed she was amazingly intuitive to the vision I had for myself. Not being well versed in makeup artistry, I could easily convey a look that was not accurate to the final vision. If I said "a bronzy look", she knew I meant "a healthy glow." I sent her images and we talked through them, interpreting the actual look that would be best for my skin tone and personality. I think this is a great talent... To listen and really understand her clients and to honestly communicate the actual product.
Thank you Sacha! You're the best!!
Sacha was the absolute best to work with. She did a long trial with me in my apartment, which was super convenient. I don't wear much makeup, other than a good red lip now and then...
, so she talked me through each element of my look and took it up or down a few notches to perfect the way I looked and felt on my wedding day.
She made me and my family and girlfriends comfortable while we were getting ready—she worked fast, did my hair with my two squirming nieces in my lap, and dealt with touchups and photo requirements while staying super relaxed.
Best of all, I felt incredibly beautiful on my wedding day. She made me look like the best version of myself, but still very natural, which is exactly what I wanted.
I'd recommend Sacha to anyone. She's receptive to ideas and changes, and can pull of any look that inspires you.
I've always been a bit camera shy and I was feeling reluctant and
nervous about the scheduled head shots I needed for my business. I
hired Sacha Badame to do my makeup and I couldn...
't have have been
happier with the way I looked! Not only was it a joy to sit in her
chair, by the time it was over I felt like my best, most beautiful self. I'm still
using the tips she gave me for makeup application today, like how to
use blush, which I had previously never used. If you want to look
effortlessly beautiful, Sacha is your girl!
