About

Hi, I'm Sandy

I'm a professional hair and makeup artist originally from Monterrey, Mexico, trained in cosmetology school with years of experience across salons and high-level events. My style blends Mexican and American influences with an artistic eye I've had since I was young.

Over fifteen years ago I moved to the Riviera Maya, where I've had the privilege of working with international clients of every culture, feature, and style — for weddings, lifestyle shoots, and commercial projects.

I've learned so much from some of the most talented artists in the industry by assisting them and working with them side by side, and I'm endlessly grateful for the experience and skills I've gained along the way.

I keep growing by attending international beauty shows, masterclasses, and online workshops — because your wedding day deserves an artist who never stops learning.

"Sandy is the best in the game!! She did my hair for my wedding day in Playa Mujeres, Mexico and I still can't believe how it held up between the humidity, sweat, dancing, heat, etc! She was very accommodating, professional, and prompt. I can't recommend her enough!"
