“I am SO glad that I chose to work with Sandy Xiong Beauty. Kong & KaSen executed my wedding day beauty look perfectly. I highly recommend working with Sandy Xiong Beauty -- they made my whole experience easy, breezy, and BEAUTIFUL.
Kong & KaSen
Kong & KaSen were absolutely amazing to work with. Kong was in charge of makeup & KaSen took care of all our hairstyles. They were both highly professional, responsive, punctual, and skilled at their craft.
Portfolio
Sandy Xiong Beauty's portfolio showed a wide range of beautifully done hair and makeup styles, which stood out to me since many other vendors only showcased a few looks, mostly reflecting current trends. I was worried those other vendors wouldn't be able to deliver anything outside their usual styles. Sandy Xiong Beauty's versatility gave me confidence they could achieve the look I wanted.
Vendor Comparison
I compared 11 wedding beauty vendors and found that Sandy Xiong Beauty had the most competitive pricing across nearly every category, including the full cost of my bridal beauty (hair and makeup) and the costs for my attendants. They offer clear, competitive pricing that’s easy to understand and calculate independently. It didn’t take me long to realize Sandy Xiong Beauty offered the best value within my budget.
Constructive Feedback
The only area for improvement is email response time. Before booking, I sometimes waited anxiously for replies to my questions near the quote deadline. After booking and connecting with my day-of artists, communication was smooth and timely.
Bridal Trial
During my trial, KaSen accommodated time for two different hair styles because I wasn’t sure what I wanted. I told Kong I’d never liked my makeup done by anyone else before, and she completely blew me away with her work. The trial was fun, and at the end I felt beautiful while still looking like myself. My hair and makeup after the trial lasted over 10 hours (and through a nap) with only minor touch-ups. My artists encouraged me to take notes after and welcomed feedback, which was very helpful on the big day.
Wedding Day!
On my wedding day, Kong and KaSen came prepared with my trial photos to reference. Kong told me I took really good notes, which made it easy for her to tweak my look exactly how I wanted. As my beauty prep was wrapping up and the ceremony drew near, KaSen noticed my nerves and took a moment to reassure me -- I really appreciated her kindness.
My lipstick wore off quickly, which I expected & failed to prepare for -- I had planned to get the same lipstick Kong used for touchups throughout the day but failed to do (wish I would've! I recommend this tip for other brides). My eye makeup lasted through all the tears without any issues. Even though I knew my down hairstyle would eventually get knotty, I felt like Rapunzel & my half-up hair stayed full all day. I lost a few pieces of tinsel throughout the day but not a single bobby pin. Kong & KaSen's attention to detail and care made all the difference in making me feel confident & beautiful on my wedding day.
ThankyouthankyouTHANKYOU to Sandy, Kong, KaSen, and every other member of the Sandy Xiong Beauty team who assisted in making my wedding day a dream come true!
Notes on My Hairstyle
1. One of my bridesmaids installed the tinsel shown, but KaSen styled it afterwards.
2. KaSen installed my clip-in extensions for my hairstyle.”
