Sandra Michelle Artistry

ng day, I wanted to feel etherial-like a princess or a goddess, but also not carry a crazy amount of makeup. Sandra understood how I wanted to look and feel on this magical day, and she understood my skin tone and hair tone and texture. I got my hair and makeup done at 9 am and still looked bomb at 10 pm after a million pictures and kisses and hugs! She also made my mom and older sister look like royalty! Book Sandra, you wont regret it!

ing her. My make up looked great and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. I definitely recommend Michelle, she was the best!

tations, worked with the room we had to get ready in, and most importantly I felt absolutely stunning!! My makeup held up through ALL my tears haha. Thank you so much ladies ❤️❤️❤️ Sarah

nd my sisters & bridesmaids loved her. I know she works on a lot of weddings but she made me feel special and unique and not just another bride. I would refer her out to anyone and would use her again if I need make up done for a special event! Thank you Michelle!!!!

girls and can’t thank you enough for helping make my wedding as flawless as possible.

the bridal trial she helped me along step by step to ensure we figured out the best look possible. When the wedding day came, my hair and makeup looked even better than I remembered! She works magic. Not only is she great at her profession, she's just a wonderful person who helps keep a stressful morning fun. Her team did the most amazing job on my bridesmaids. We all got compliments all night long. I highly recommend you do yourself a favor and hire Sandra Michelle Artistry. Easiest decision ever.

erned I might look like a clown with big eyelashes, but after the trial I was so excited for the big day- I couldn't wait to see my fiance's reaction. She is very quick to reply and I love how she works with Honeybook. I wish more vendors worked with Honeybook, because it organizes all the projects you have going on for your wedding. She did my makeup perfectly and I think all the mom's/bridesmaids felt the same way. I don't wear a ton of makeup, if at all. She made me look like a more refined version of myself. She also made sure I was comfortable with the makeup from the trial, to my wedding day. I am really glad I went through and had makeup done because it helped reinforce my features. I notice especially in pictures having makeup helps you look more refined and helps hide anything that you don't want in pictures (acne scars, tired (I did have to get up at 6:15 am...haha, etc) My hair looked amazing as well. Loved that they reinforced my already natural curls- it's a feature both me and my now husband love. Plus, my sister wanted to have a tattoo covered up. Michelle was really accommodating with that and it really looks great- you would never know my sister had a tattoo on her upper shoulder. I would totally use Michelle again- I mean I wish I could have her do my hair and makeup every day! Wishful thinking. :)

le to make each person look their best based on their own individual looks and style. I mostly worked with Michelle before the wedding as far as scheduling goes and I have to say this team is the best! Even other makeup artists in the area recommended this team, especially if you want airbrush makeup.

me and again made us all feel so at ease. As far as the makeup and hair I can say we all have never looked better. I looked so glowing and beautiful and the pictures truly reflect how good all of us looked. I would like to say thank you to Michelle for everything. Without her the day would have been much more stressful.

t promptly responding and keeping consistent communication throughout our time working together, which looking back, helped a ton with relieving some stress from the wedding planning process. Once I gave her the information about how many people I was interested in getting services for, she was able to provide a clear quote up front with all the terms on how much it would be costing me (so important when planning, especially when working with a budget!). The trial was also a great experience. I met Michelle for the first time at the trial and she is exactly what I was looking for in a HMUA. Not only is she really good at what she does, she is an absolutely sweetheart! She is extremely professional and personable. She asked me what style and look I wanted and I provided photos I got off Pinterest for her to work from. I usually don’t do my makeup and my hair has been the same style for a while now, so I didn’t know what would look good on me. I told her my main priority was to have hair style and makeup that I felt comfortable in (the wedding day is LONG) and that I felt was true to ME. She made me feel really comfortable and was open to trying different styles. She continued to check in with me on how I was liking the hair and makeup and always made note of any feedback I gave her. I went home knowing I was in good hands. Between the trial and the day of the wedding, there were changes made to my bridal party. I let Michelle know and she changed the quote and proposed schedule to reflect it with no problem at all. Come wedding day, Michelle was accompanied by her assistant who helped do my bridesmaids’ hair. They both arrived on time to take care of us. There was an unexpected downpour in the morning which threw me through a loop but the two of them made the getting ready process as stress-free as possible. My bridesmaids provided what styles they wanted and they all loved how their hair and makeup turned out! As for me, I had some changes I wanted to make to my hairstyle and Michelle made it work. My hair and makeup looked amazing and more importantly, it held up the entire wedding even with the rain! I felt so beautiful! One of my biggest fears was to end up with a look that I didn’t feel comfortable. I love how Michelle listened to what I wanted and understood that I wanted to look and feel like myself on my wedding day. Michelle even provided me with a touch up kit to use after she and her assistant left. After the wedding was over and we received the photos back, I was very satisfied with how my hair and makeup came across on camera. Looking back on the whole process, I am so happy I chose Michelle as my vendor on my big day and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a quality professional artist to do hair and makeup for a wedding or photoshoot.

make up but also someone that was going to have fun with me and my bridesmaids before the ceremony. Michelle was that perfect person! I went and did a trial and discussed what I envisioned for my style and she not only listened, but I think, made it even better! She knew exactly what I was going for and used her expertise to make it even more beautiful. The morning of the wedding was exactly what I hoped for! My bridesmaids and I had an amazing time getting ready and Michelle was such a fun person to have there (and she also kept us on time)! We all felt so beautiful! Everyone commented on our make up and hair that day and for the exact reasons you would want- "it looked classic, natural and beautiful". Couldn't have been happier with my hair and make up and working with Michelle!

r hair looked amazing! She was able to use the ideas my friends and I had in mind for our styles and go for it with a lot of confidence and experience. Would highly recommend!

She brought a team of her and three other ladies and all were talented and so nice. I had some moments on my day that stressed me out and Michelle was amazing at helping me see things straight. She is hilarious and keeps you in good spirits. Her job has to be hard with groups this large and keeping to a schedule. I know it was hard for me to keep everyone where they needed to be but Michelle was great at it and flexible when people were challenging to deal with. I highly recommend Michelle. She helped to make me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. If I could keep a pocket version of her to do my hair and makeup every day, I would be the happiest girl!

rial as it was so fun to create different looks with her! Also my sister, mom, and bridesmaids were thrilled with their looks as well. Although the finished product was amazing working with Michelle was even better. She is incredibly communicative, reliable, professional and genuinely warm and kind throughout the entire wedding process and I am grateful to have found her. She is a true artist and so fun and easy to be around, I wouldn't have wanted to spend my wedding day with anyone else. She truly goes above and beyond and made my day so special!

ike a princess that whole day. Thank you Michelle for making me look and feel beautiful for my special day, you’re the best :)

staff did also an amazing job on my mom, grandma, sister in law, mother in law, etc. We all looked beautiful and I am so greatful!!! She is easy to work and she is so good that whatever you want she’ll do but better!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

hich was a relief amidst the drama of wedding planning. My trial was in January (after a hysterically disastrous trial elsewhere, she squeezed me in at the last minute during a fly out since I live out of state—couldn’t have been more accommodating) and my wedding was in July; she seamlessly tweaked what needed tweaking to account for my tanner complexion. She is a great listener, has a keen and exacting eye for detail, works tirelessly to get every last dang thing right, and won’t settle for anything less than perfection. What more could you want in a hair and makeup artist? I can’t recommend her more highly. She asked for my Pinterest boards, we talked through them carefully, and she executed things for me and my mom and sister beautifully. Michelle also traveled to the small town where my ceremony took place and made the getting ready process all the more fun and stress-free, working calmly and keeping me calm amidst cameras, videographers, family, bridesmaids getting ready all around us and kiddos playing by our feet the whole time. She gave me the perfect little touch up kit that I ended up using on myself as well as my mom, sister, and grandma during the night (ha!). My family and friends and husband said over and over again I’ve never looked so beautiful, and that’s the dream on one’s wedding day! I recommend Michelle most highly, without reservation ❤️

otally puts the bride first. My bridesmaids, mom and mother in law looked flawless, and I've never felt more beautiful in my entire life. In my opinion, the three most important things to look for in a wedding vendor are professionalism, skill and versatility. Michelle and her team couldn't fit that description more perfectly.

e was even able to squeeze in my mom who decided last minute she wanted her hair done (based on how amazing everything else turned out!) I changed my mind on the hair style since the trial and trusted her completely to make everything perfect! She was truly amazing and I would recommend her to anyone!

s very in tune with what is good and bad. She loves Sandra and we most definitely will use her for all our make up and hair needs!! THANK YOU!!

hair and make up and she was always so sweet and never hesitant to answer any questions. If you’re looking for someone for your wedding definitely reach out to her! She’s the best !

le but nothing really specific. I dont wear a lot of makeup in day to day life and I barely do anything with my hair. So I let completely trusted Michelle and took a lot of her suggestions when we initially met for a trial 2 months before the wedding. So glad I did because everything turned out to be even more beautiful than I had ever imagined on the wedding day. My 3 BMs were also very pleased with their hair (done by Michelle’s coworker Jaime) and makeup...they looked gorgeous! Michelle is very professional, she works meticulously and she is super sweet. I want to thank Michelle for making me look and feel beautiful on this special day. Also a special thanks to both Jaime and Michelle from my 3 BMs, they keep telling me how lucky they were and how much they felt like queens! :). With love XO Amelie

ing job! Michelle did my hair and make up for my enegagement pictures as well as my wedding day and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was so fun, personable and upbeat during our day! I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone!!

tually took the time to do several hairstyles. Michelle managed to get an organized time frame to do everyone’s makeup. My step daughter asked to cover her tattoo on the day of the wedding and Michelle did an amazing job. Everyone who had their hair and makeup done could not stop raving about how great they felt. Many of my friends and relatives have no hesitation to use Michelle’s services in the future. An added benefit, she makes you feel at ease and comfortable, seems as though you’re catching up with an old friend. I can’t wait to get my hair and makeup done by Michelle again.

, but after going through it, I would definitely recommend the trial because it calmed my nerves about the big day and I was able to truly determine the level of makeup I wanted and exactly how I wanted my hair to look. Michelle was very professional and prepared on our wedding day and she truly cares about your big day like it was her own. You can tell she takes pride in her work, she offers great guidance if you're not sure, and went above and beyond. It's all in the details and the emergency kit was that extra care. She's fabulous and you will not be disappointed!

of my girls LOVED their hair & make up on the day of. Thank you for going above and beyond!

auricio and I were super untraditional - we threw a surprise wedding for our guests. Being as we kept the secret from all family and friends, Mauricio and I went through the entire planning, research, decision-making, booking, and setup process by ourselves. Not only was Michelle awesome in the pre-event communication by email and phone, she made me look and feel absolutely beautiful (her work is stunning in photos all night long!), she went above & beyond to help the day go smoothly - she had the most amazing positive and supportive vibes throughout the whole process. Michelle is cool, calm, collected, and caring...she may or may not have calmed my mini "projector for 'hey it's a wedding' slideshow tech skipping glitch" meltdown in an understanding and sweet tone while blotting away my stress tears and reassuring that it would be alright. She had me composed, smiling, and centered again in minutes. Her genuine care, attention to detail, and support throughout the whole wedding process was invaluable to me and my experience as a bride. Whether Michelle was prepared for it or not, when we booked her, she became an honorary surprise wedding bridesmaid on our special day and gained a forever fan of her work, business, and self. We totally love Michelle and know that you will too.

! I absolutely loved my makeup and hair and it lasted all day (and let me tell you I cried... A LOT)! thank you Sandra for all of your hard work! You and your team are brilliant and lovely to work with!

y jitters and made the whole process relaxing and fun. I cannot recommend her enough!

Michelle made me feel so comfortable in every detail of the process from scheduling a trial the day before my wedding, keeping all the girls on track in the bridal suite, and last minute stepping in and pinning all of the girl’s hair accessories in when they couldn’t figure it out. Michelle was calm and collected every step of the way, despite the numerous last minute surprises that arose. Michelle’s work was stunning, and I can’t wait to use her for future events.

e was so nice and calming during that high stress time. Thank you so much for everything!!!!

all together. She did a fantastic job. For my makeup, she pushed me to try colors that were out of my comfort zone and I'm so glad that she did. I felt amazing when she was trying colors out on me and now that I have the photos, OMG did she pick out everything perfectly! As for my hair, I have an absurd amount of hair, but Michelle not only got everything up on my head (which is no small feat in itself) but it looked simply amazing. All of my bridesmaids had their hair done by Michelle and Jamie, and some had their makeup done too. Not only did I love the way everyone looked, but they loved it too and I could tell they all felt beautiful. And to top it all off, she’s just so friendly and nice! It was a pleasure working with Michelle and I know you too will find her absolutely exceptional at what she does and delightful to work with!

dn't of asked for anything better. I did a trial with Michelle a few months prior and loved her work, not to mention she is so sweet and someone you can have a conversation with while getting your hair and makeup done. I was completely confident in her abilities for my wedding day, which made it stress free. I had a large bridal party 5 bridesmaids, 2 junior bridesmaids and 2 flower girls and my mom that received hair and makeup. Michelle put together a great timeline for all of us and was able to complete all hair and makeup on time and in a fun manor where we could all get ready together. Everyone’s hair and makeup turned out amazing and all my girls were so thrilled and felt beautiful. I highly recommend Michelle for hair and makeup, and I will be using her for any future events I attend.

dra Michelle will be making me feel like the most beautiful bride on my wedding day, as well as taking care of my whole wedding party! She is incredibly talented and truly listens to what your vision is. You can tell she has a passion for what she does!

arty look so stunning flawless with her amazing airbrushing! Beyond that, she did an excellent job of time management, making sure everyone was ready to go on-time, and made sure my bridal suite was a calming environment for me to get ready in. She is so sweet and professional and such a talented artist, I cannot recommend her enough!

d does it all with a big smile. She is a happy person and her energy is contagious. She has a beautiful family, is happily married and it all shines through in who she is. She is caring - this is what I wanted as a bride. I wanted someone who actually CARED about me and my big day. I met Sandra Michelle at my sisters wedding in July and I was so impressed that I knew I had to hire her for my wedding last weekend. I knew she was coming from far away and there were tons of hair and makeup artists near me in LA, but it didn't matter. Nobody else I met or talked to on the phone had the experience, talent or personality that Sandra Michelle has. She is calm, collected and full of great ideas. She works so hard to ensure the wedding party is happy and she treats everyone with respect. She went so above and beyond on the day of my wedding, that I can't even put it into words how much I appreciate her. She literally held my train while walking on the beach for photos, she hunted down my florist to get the bridal party bouquets, she found my wedding planner when I needed her most and she helped me feel beautiful ALL DAY long. She fixed me up during photos, she ran around the hotel getting things I needed (bobby pins, curling iron) throughout the night. She really outdid herself in so many ways! If you are looking for an AMAZING hair and make up artist, look no more. Hire Sandra Michelle! You will be so happy you did. I am thrilled with her work, her personality and her authentic caring way. Honestly, you can feel lucky you found her - hire her and continue on with the other plans for the BIG day! Check hair and makeup off your list now! Good luck and have a fabulous wedding day! xx ~ Sarah

asked of her. I had previously done a trial run with another makeup artist that put so much makeup on me that I didn't even look like myself. I told Sandra this and how I just want to accentuate my natural beauty. She totally got me and the results were better than I could've imagined. My husband totally approved too! :) During the trial run, she was game to try any hair or makeup style I wanted. She really took her time on me and wanted to make sure I felt good, which I very much appreciated. She also did my Mother's and Bridesmaids' hair and makeup for my wedding and they were raving about her work as well! The products she uses are great and my makeup literally lasted all day-night-and the day after wedding too. It was so pretty I didn't want to wash it off! I had my hair in dutch braids with loose curls and it lasted throughout the whole day too. I've gotten so many compliments on how beautiful my makeup and hair were - all thanks to Sandra! How you feel on your wedding day is so important and with Sandra, you know you're going to be gorgeous!! If there's ever another big event in my life that I need hair and makeup, I know who I'm calling! ;)

t to know in the time she styled me during our trial run and the day of. I was not the bride who knew exactly what she wants, so Sandra was very patient with me in making small changes to my hair and make up during both the trial run and the wedding day. She makes sure to ask you how you "feel" about her work. She really is concerned about making you feel absolutely gorgeous on your big day. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll really need hair and makeup in the future, but if I do, no question, I will be using her. As for pricing, I found her to be reasonably priced. It was $200 for the trail run (which was like 4 hrs!) and then $225 day of which included a emergency kit with bobby pins, q tips and a bottle of whatever lip gloss/stick you choose. $100 deposit which gets applied to your day of. Anyways, well worth the price to not have to stress out about having to do it yourself or having a friend do it but are scared to tell them exactly what you want. Seriously, you will not regret having her for your big day, or any other major event. She is THE BEST!!!!

s perfect. I do not like heavy makeup and she listened to that. She makes notes and takes pictures during the trial so she can perfectly replicate the look. On my wedding day it felt like she was family. We were not really in a time crunch so we relaxed and talked, she even offered to help with whatever we needed to prep for the wedding. She takes her time and is a perfectionist. Mine and my MOH's hair and makeup ended up beautiful! Sandra Michelle is so sweet and professional, we all felt so comfortable with her.

rl for hair & makeup for any special occasion, whether it be a wedding, a photo shoot or simply a night out. I highly recommend her!

hly!

y attentive on what I wanted and made it come to life. I recieved so many complaiments and I'm so grateful I had Sanda to do my hair and make up for my wedding day! Thank you Sandra Michelle!!
