Picking my wedding hair and makeup was a super important choice for me. I found Samantha through instagram and followed her a little while before I booked. I loved everything that she had been posting. Her vibe and style was exactly what I was looking for.
Choosing and booking Samantha and Samantha for my hair and makeup, as well as my bridesmaids, was one of the best decisions I made during my entire wedding planning. I can't say enough amazing things about how professional, genuine, kind and talented these ladies are. From the initial inquiry to the follow up days after my wedding they have been nothing by fabulous!
I never felt more beautiful in my entire life. I got the most amazing compliments all night. All my bridesmaids looked beyond gorgeous. I was overwhelmed with not only how much I loved my makeup and hair, but my bridesmaids as well. They made each girl look so naturally and effortlessly beautiful even more than they already were.
The day of the wedding was a dream working with them. They are the kindest most fun girls and we had a blast hanging out and getting glammed up.
I can't recommend them enough. I hope to use them again in the very near future! xoxo

Initially, I was worried about hiring a non-Chinese person to do makeup for the traditional portion of my wedding. After a trial session, I decided to trust her with my face. Our session was so productive. She listened to my needs and wants. We went through different hair styles that would work both with my traditional Chinese attire for my tea ceremony as well as a classy romantic updo for my bridal dress. My worries turned out to be unfounded as Samantha and her SamGlamteam did a fantastic job with everyone. My mum and my girls never did a test run, but they all turned out amazing. The airbrush foundation was sooooo on point and blended so well with the rest of their makeup. No amount of heat on that 88 degree day took any make up off. I had Sam come with her team for a quick touch up for me and my girls prior to my ceremony, and once again, we were perfect again. It was truly to feel pampered to fix a few stray hairs and make sure my lip color was on point, especially from my dress change from a Chinese bright red dress to a simple white dress! I had a 18 hour day, but my hair and makeup stayed... even when my energy didn't. At the end of the night, I really couldn't be bothered to take off my face. So I resorted to pulling all the pins out of my hair. Even after the entire day of running around and dancing, my updo was as tight as it was that morning. Probably I should not have slept in my makeup, but who cares? The next day, I rolled out of bed for brunch, my makeup was still on point. You can't go wrong with Sam. She went above and beyond what I thought would be possible to make me stand out on my day!

Samantha was super sweet since the day we met to do my wedding hair and make up trial. She was patient and listened to what I wanted to do during my trial and the changes I wanted to do for the day of my wedding. Super on-point and organized, Samantha was very professional in every aspect. She's very responsive via text and email and she was punctual and ready at the time she said she would be and my girls loved her! We all looked like princesses when we were all done! I'm extremely happy I found her through Wedding Wire. I'd definitely go back to her if I want to get dolled up for any other events!

Like most brides to be, I was getting nervous about my wedding day schedule. Two weeks before the big day, my cousin sent me Samantha's card. I checked her Instagram and immediately liked her work. I contacted Samantha and after discussing prices and availability, I knew she was it for me! She arrived on time the day of, leaving us plenty of time to squeeze in another girl for hair. Samantha arrived with full gear, very professional and fully prepared. Since I was only able to contact her so last minute, this was the first time I met her. She asked all the right questions, listened and made suggestions. My hair and makeup withstood hugs, kisses and happy tears. My curls even lasted long enough to take pictures during our honeymoon. Samantha is a great choice for your big event!

I hired Samantha after going for two trials that I simply wasn't happy with. After finding her on wedding wire, she promptly contacted me to chat about my wedding vision. I don't normally wear a lot of make up and am kind of clueless. But after showing her pictures of what I wanted and a minimal explanation she knew exactly what I wanted and executed it better than I could have hoped for. During my trial she offered me different options, redid things I wasn't happy with and provided much support. On the day of the wedding I already knew what I would look like, but she did all of my bridesmaids plus my mother and mother in law and all of them were thrilled with Samantha's work. The makeup lasted all night. Everyone felt confident and beautiful all night. Samantha is professional, knowledgeable, accommodating and will always make you feel like her top priority.

Responsive, prompt, professional, attentive, listens, adaptive, patient are all qualities Samantha Carly and Samantha Sette have. They ensure you are comfortable every step of the way and are in love with the work they are doing. I didn't want "heavy" makeup or hair and both Samanthas worked to create a natural look and feel. Samantha Sette is a true hair whisperer and is very talented. They care about their clients and their business which is demonstrated not only in their work but in the little touches they provide after. They created a little care package for me to have during the day which included mini mints. (I know it sounds crazy to be thankful for that but there are a lot of intimate pics ladies so get mints.) They also followed up and sent a thank you card in the mail after then wedding. Again, unnecessary but so thoughtful. Would use them again in a heartbeat.

Sam and her team did such a fantastic job at my wedding on 8/23/19. They were on time to start our hair and make up services. Sam and her team were very understanding, respectful, generous, and reliable. I wouldn’t have booked any other vendor but them because they made me feel like the most beautiful bride ever. We all know how stressful planning a wedding can be, but Sam and her team were so smooth and made the process so straightforward. On top, they all took into account my inspiration pictures to make my vision come to life. They made my bridal party look amazing where they all felt comfortable and beautiful in their own skin. I would highly recommend this vendor to any brides and/or anyone for that matter who wants a team who are communicative and reliable! Thank you Sam and your wonderful team for being part of my wedding, but most importantly, for making my fairytale wedding spectacular! A+++

I hired Samantha and her team last month for hair and makeup services for me and my bridal party and am so happy that I did. Samantha, Sophie, and Samantha were super professional, arriving on time with a schedule to keep the morning flowing easily, and at the same time brought a fun-loving and friendly vibe to the bridal suite. My six bridesmaids and grandmother, all of whom are extremely picky, were very pleased with their hair and makeup and received compliments all night! In addition to making me look and feel beautiful the day of my wedding, Samantha was so helpful and responsive in the months, weeks, and days leading up to it, including calming me down and instructing me on what to when my skin became angry with me and starting breaking out like crazy!! I would highly recommend Samantha and her team for anyone who wants amazing hair and makeup services without the stress.

I normally don’t post reviews but I just had to take a moment to say if anyone is looking for a true professional to come to your house (on time, very personable , very accommodating and reasonable prices) than Samantha is the girl for you. We just had my daughter’s communion last weekend and I can not say it enough - how beautiful my daughter’s updo looked. It completed the whole look of her dress and veil as well as how many compliments we received. Thank you times a million, Samantha for making her day so special!
