sachiko hair and make-up

Sachiko was super professional! Superior services! Excellent work on hair dos and make up!! Loved her so much!

Sachiko is absolutely amazing and the sweetest person, too. I hired her for my wedding day on 3/20/13 for a small Brooklyn Bridge wedding. I did a trial with her for the hair and make up (allow for about 3 hours for the trial), and also went with a Package deal (6 services of mix/match hair or make up for $600) for myself and also to treat my mom and mother in law on my wedding day. She made everyone feel comfortable and made everyone look beautiful. She took notes from the trial and this made my hair and make up much easier on the wedding day. I also asked for very natural make up and she did an awesome job, as I absolutely loved my hair and make up. I should also note that my mom has not had her make up done professionally since her own wedding day and she raved about Sachiko for weeks! I also could not get over how great my mom looked, and I was very happy with all the services Sachiko provided. To add to it all, Sachiko is one of the warmest, kindhearted, friendliest people that I have met. I am usually a shy person, and her warm, welcoming nature was very much appreciated.

If you have any questions in particular about her services, I suggest that you email her! She is very responsive and also very quick by email! (Great for people like me who love email as a mode of communication).

I wholeheartedly recommend Sachiko. She can do a very natural look (like I wanted) or a more glamorous type of look (smokey eye, etc., that we did for fun at my trial). She is personable, her services are excellent, she is very detail oriented, and everything went very smoothly with her from start to finish. I highly, highly recommend Sachiko Yanase!

Dear Sachiko,

Thank you so much for all your help! You were such a sweetheart, coming before the crack of dawn in a snowstorm AND looking and being so happy and cheerful. I know I can never have your job and do what you do!!! You did such an amazing job, I look so beautiful and glamorous!!! I saw some of the pictures from people’s phone and my makeup and hair looks fantastic, even after the crazy 2 hours run around central park! My mother and all my girlfriends look so amazing as well. They were all so impressed! I wish you live closer to me so that I can hire you all the time when I go out on dinners and events!!!

Thanks again!

Sachiko Yanase is AMAZING! I wish I could put ten stars. She was recommended by a family friend who had used her for her wedding and now I am in debt to her. I knew when I met her after her trial made me feel beautiful I knew I needed her energy on my wedding day no matter what stresses a bride could face. She was so patient during the trial, explained every step, and didn't not let me leave until I was 100% satisfied, which wasn't that hard to do.
Now imagine your wedding day falling on the weekend after the worst hurricane to hit the East Coast since 1938. Your hotel has canceled on you and two of your bridesmaids don't have their dresses b/c they're stuck in powerless dry cleaners in lower Manhattan. You can't get ready in the place you had originally planned b/c there's no power. That was just the beginning of what I had to deal with the week of my wedding.
Sachiko was more than accommodating making last minute location changes and responding with not a minute to spare. When getting ready on the big day she was calm, made everyone comfortable, and again was not satisfied until everyone was satisfied. I've had the experience before of people are telling me that I look beautiful and not feeling it. When Sachiko was done with my hair and make-up I FELT beautiful. When I was greeted by guests many of them complimented my hair and make-up. I have already recommended her to all of my engaged friends and ones on the verge of engagement. I can't recommend her enough. You can not go wrong with Sachiko!

Sachiko did hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids and makeup for my mother and my grandmother for my wedding. She was amazing! Not only did she do a beautiful job on everyone, she was a delight to be around. Sachiko was with us from 8:30 AM until around 6:30 PM. She did all of our hair and makeup and stayed around to do touch ups during photos and right before the ceremony. She is so professional, sweet and really knew what would look best on each person. None of the women in my group wear very much makeup, so we let Sachiko pick out everything for us and she could not have been better. She did 4 very different hairstyles and they all came out great and lasted throughout the wedding and through our after-party. If you are going to have someone with you all day during quality time with your closest friends and family, I cannot think of a better person than Sachiko. She also did a very thorough trial with me so I could figure out exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. I highly and enthusiatically recommend Sachiko!

Sachiko was wonderful in doing my make up and hair for my wedding. She also did my mom and sister's hair and make up. Sachiko showed up early at the hotel than the time planned and put me at ease right away. I did my trial earlier with her so I knew exactly what I wanted.
Sachiko made sure I was happy with my hair and make up and that I was most of all comfortable. Everyone complimented me on my hair and make up and it lasted all day even with all the dancing I did throughout the evening.

I could not have been a luckier bride. My vendors were all amazing! I was really nervous about hair and make up. I had about 3-4 trials with different vendors and Sachiko was the only one who made me feel beautiful- still looking natural.

Not only did she take care of my bridal party but the groomsmen as well. She stayed with us through the day, touching us up between takes and even sharing tears of joy with us.

I HIGHLY recommend her!

The absolute best in every way. Sachiko is incredibly talented but also so sweet. Not jaded by the business, not pressured by the stress of the day. She keeps her cool and helps everyone focus. So so wonderful. Would marry again to work with her ;P Book early!!!

Having Sachiko as my hair and makeup stylist was a positive experience from beginning to end. To start things off, the hair and makeup trial is every bride's dream! She did more than 10 different hairstyles so you can figure out what style you look best in. She was incredibly professional and absolutely easy to work with. She really pays attention to detail, not just on your hair and makeup during your big day, but to your overall well-being, making sure you're well- fed, well-hydrated, and stress-free. You'll feel beautiful inside and out with her as your stylist!

Sachiko is wonderful!!!! I used her for my maid of honor, bridesmaid and my mother. She is so kind and made everything easy to do on my wedding day. Everyone looked flawless. She was easy to communicate with through email. The flower girl was getting hungry before we left for the ceremony and she was so nice to offer a granola bar to her. I thought that was very kind of her. Everyone's hair and make up lasted all day. The girls did very little touch ups. I would highly recommend her.

Sachiko was a BLESSING! She was referred to me by my first hair / makeup artist who had mistakenly double-booked me with another Catherine on the same date. Frankly, I'm glad for the mix-up, because Sachiko was a wonder to work with. I did both a hair / makeup trial (2-3 hours) and my wedding day with her (me, my mother and 3 bridesmaids).

She is super-responsive on email, and her cheerfulness comes across, even over the Internet. We went to her home in Queens for the trial, and she was so happy, and so relaxed. She talked through every product she used, and every step she was taking with my hair. She did 2 makeup options and 3 hair options, advised on how to go more or less dramatic and how to wear my veil. She even offered my bridesmaids and I discounts on wholesale brand-name makeup she acquires!

On the wedding day, she arrived right on the dot, even at 6a! All by herself, she worked efficiently through 5 women, and made each of us look and feel soooo beautiful! Totally made-up, but totally natural. Nobody's skin felt itchy or weird, nobody felt self-conscious about having too much or too little done to their hair or face. The airbrush-makeup went on and stayed on without a hitch, and Sachiko's use of individual fake eyelashes made us feel MUCH more comfortable and natural. Frankly ... we looked awesome.

Sachiko then stayed with me for the WHOLE DAY, until the ceremony was over at about 5.30p! She tended to us at our first-look photos, then at the church. She touched up our faces & our lips, re-sprayed our hair, and even applied a little bit of concealer to some of our men! AND, she handed me a new, full-sized lipstick for use throughout the night.

Sachiko is a gentle, generous soul with unceasing energy and good cheer. She will make you and your ladies look gorgeous and feel wonderful, and you will not regret having her on your wedding team!

Sachiko was one of the best vendor decisions I made. She did an amazing job on myself and my eight bridesmaids, working at an incredible speed yet still creating beautiful intricate hair styles. She is super sweet and really helped calm my nerves on the morning of.

I had requested an old Hollywood look with Rita Hayworth as my hair and makeup inspiration and she completely delivered. I got so many compliments on my wedding day look and some of the pictures truly look vintage. Everything held up the entire day and night and the airbrush makeup and eyelashes were great – really gave flawless coverage and the extra drama.

Sachiko was with us most of the day, traveling to our ceremony site from the hotel on her own, and was ready for touch ups right before we walked down the aisle. Sachiko was always there with a touchup at the ready and she really went above and beyond what she needed to do.

Her prices are extremely reasonable considering how talented she is. She was nothing but professional from the trial through the wedding day, arriving at 6:45am with a smile. I would recommend her to any of all future brides in a...

I had a small wedding party and Sachiko did the hair and makeup for me, my one female bridesmaid and my mom. I live in New England and got married in Jersey City, NJ, and for one reason and another, I had to skip my makeup trial with Sachiko four days before the wedding. I was a little worried, but having seen all of the great work Sachiko has done, I had total confidence in her. And, it all turned out perfectly. I showed up with a few pictures of what I wanted, and Sachiko made me look great. I am not used to wearing a ton of makeup, but everyone told me that I still looked like myself. And that was exactly what I wanted. My hair also is not prone to curling, but Sachiko made the curls stay in all night -- and they were still intact when I woke up the next morning!

In addition to doing a phenomenal job with our hair and makeup, Sachiko was such a joy to spend the day with. She showed up early, peppy and ready to go, and was fun and sweet and interesting. She also acted a bit like my stand in mom (who was too self-absorbed to care about me on the day of my wedding) and gave me tips, like stand up straight, shoulders back, and smile. It was incredibly touching.

I would hire Sachiko again in a heartbeat.

The best. simply, the best. My favorite vendor that day. SHe is just so nice, she dealt with my CRAZY mom. SAchiko just took it in stride, and was super calm. She did a BEAUTIFUL job on my hair and makeup, even better than in the trial and i have to admit, she did a fantastic job on all of my 5 bridesmaids. We had her for 8 hours i think was the package..she basically stood up to the maitre'd and everyone else trying to rush me while she took an extra 5mins to make sure my veil would not fly off and that my makeup was perfect. It did not budge all night. she is awesome and made sure she did her job well. She was only supposed to stay till 6:30 but she stayed a little bit afterwards until i basically walked down the aisle in order to fix my train and veil. she is just so cool and sweet. even my crazy mom came around at the end and invited her to stay for dinner because she was happy with the job sachiko had done on us (she declined). LOVE HER.

Sachiko did my hair and makeup for my recent wedding, along with that of my four bridesmaids (with the help of an assistant) and I could not be happier with her work. I have never looked better - everything was exactly as I wanted it. My makeup looked very natural and beautiful (with the help of airbrush foundation and individually-placed false eyelashes) and both it and my updo stayed in place all night. Sachiko arrived at our hotel at 9.30am and worked right through until 7.30pm, accompanying us to the wedding venue for touch-ups pre and post ceremony. She even helped with cleaning and bustling my dress after it got a little dusty while we were taking photos. Through it all she was extremely accommodating, funny, and friendly. Compared to a lot of other NYC makeup artists/hair stylists I contacted, she’s reasonably priced too. She was a dream to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any brides out there. Thank you Sachiko!

Sachiko was the best person to work with on my wedding day. It's a good thing because she spent a lot of time making me look and feel beautiful on a most frantic/stressful day when I wanted to be a million places at once- orchestrating the table settings, directing my bridal party to tie up countless loose ends, and to pose for my first photo shoot with a photographer (modeling is hard!!!).

Even though it was the first time I ever met her, she was so warm and thoughtful like a longtime friend. We chatted as she consulted me on 2 possible looks, one of which she gently guided to with her professional opinion. She gave my bridesmaids tips on how to help me do touch ups and to pull out my long veil so my hair would stay intact. And boy did my makeup and hair stay intact- people complimented me on the graceful look, which I totally lack in real life. She used individual eyelashes and a airbrush foundation- which are very "extra" services with other vendors. I am so relieved to see on some preliminary point-and-shoot digital camera images that my neck and face were of the same color (hard to achieve during an evening wedding).

Sachiko is such an amazing lady who showed up EARLY and left only when she made sure everything looked great. Some vendors made me feel bad about aesthetic choices vs. budget so I was so relieved to have someone so positive, kind, and professional.

I fear that I will not be able to convey just how wonderful Sachiko is as she is absolutely brilliant at what she does and I felt truly lucky to have her as part of my wedding vendor team - by the end of the day Sachiko felt like one of the family!

Sachiko is incredibly sweet, kind and truly cares about what you have in mind for your wedding. Sachiko is also extremely talented in what she does. I had two hair and make-up trials with Sachiko before the wedding as I couldn’t make up my mind and during both very long appointments she listened attentively to my ideas, complimented my ideas with her own and truly made me feel comfortable about the whole process (I am not used to being pampered!).

On the wedding day Sachiko was faced with 10 hours of grueling work but not once did she stop smiling. She was extremely polite and not phased by the task ahead of her. She had not met 3 of my wedding party as they were from out of town and she immediately built a rapport with them and made them feel very comfortable. She took their ideas for their hair and make-up and worked with the ideas to develop styles that were beautiful.

By the time Sachiko had finished with all of us we all looked absolutely stunning - her skills with all our different hair types and styles was exceptional - we all felt like a million dollars. My Mum, who doesn’t let anyone touch her hair or make-up, allowed Sachiko to do so and the results were fantastic. Everyone was so pleased.

During the day Sachiko was always at my side and became more part of the wedding party than just the hair and make-up artist. She was incredibly attentive to me and always ensured I looked my best. Sachiko took it upon herself to also ensure my dress was always properly arranged and looked after which illustrates just how much she cares.

I can’t recommend Sachiko enough, she is truly talented at what she does, her fees are extremely reasonable and she’s just such a lovely person that you feel so at ease and in safe hands.

OMG (times 1000!) I absolutely LOVED working with Sachiko. Her work was beyond perfect. Plus, she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. I am so not a hair & make-up kind of chick so I have to admit I was a bit terrified when I committed to doing a trial for my wedding. After having shared my fears with Sachiko, I was so relieved and joyous by the final outcome. The make-up was very natural and flawless and the hairstyle so exquisite. Everyone was in shock when they saw me on my wedding day. (Believe me when I tell you that I wore sneakers on my first date with my now hubby and practicaly live in my sweats). Not only did Sachiko help me look like a princess, she made me feel like one too. She also did a fabulous job on my sister's hair and make-up. The look on her face when she looked into the mirror was priceless. She looked so precious. Bottom line: Sachiko rocks!

In all seriousness.... Sachiko is a big gulp of sunshine and is the type of person you always want to be around because she is genuinely has a wonderfully positive attitude ALL THE TIME.

She did my test drive of hairstyles and make-up... It was at her apartment which was perfectly comfortable and professional, and she banged out 5... yes, 5 hairstyles in an hour's time!! She did this effortlessly, and I could see that if all 5 hairstyles were so nice and neat during the trial, the day of the wedding will be PERFECT!

And so it was! The hair was perfect, and she did airbrush make-up on me which was also perfect, but felt great as well! It was very light feeling on my skin, she applied eyelashes that were naturally glamorous, and highlighted all my best features!

She did my mother's and maid of honor too and they look remarkable! My maid of honor had hair extensions, so that was a bit of a task but it never looked more beautiful!

Aside from all that, she was such amazing addition to the morning of the wedding and I couldn't have imagined the day without her! She personality is so bright and great to be around! Everyone enjoyed her company...

Anyways, take a look at the slide show and you'll see the great work she did!

Sachiko was just fantastic, all around. Not only is she great at what she does, she is possibly the nicest, sweetest person EVER. She was one of my most favorite vendors from my wedding. And to top it off, her prices are so reasonable!
She did hair/makeup for me, my mother, my SIL and then hair for all my bridesmaids. Everyone was so happy with their looks. She made them all look so beautiful.
Sachiko was also so calm during the day and always came over to make sure I didn't need a touch-up, without me even asking. All in all, she was wonderful!

Sachiko is amazing! Show her a picture of any hair style and she can replicate it! My hair and makeup trial was awesome - she did 4 different hair styles and they were all so nice that it was difficult to choose just one. On the day of, she did 8 services (hair/make-up combinations) efficiently and always with a smile or an awesome story about her family and travels. Even when she was done, she insisted on staying to watch me and the bridal party take pictures. She was even there to apply bug spray! Sachiko is such a sweetheart and a talented stylist!

Sachiko is the sweetest!!! She is also so super talented! My day of wedding coordinator suggested her and I emailed her right away to see if she was available and thank goodness she was!!! When I met her during the trial, I gave her a ton of pictures for hair...and she did every hairstyle and even took a picture of me after each hairstyle. Even the makeup she did on me was super natural and fresh!
On the day of my wedding, she came super early and was on time--after Sachiko's magic, every member of my wedding party looked amazing!!! She is wonderful to have with you on the day of your wedding...and she is super affordable compared to other hair/makeup people. She will make you look FLAWLESS!!!!

Sachiko recently did my hair+makeup for my wedding and she is amazing! The trial before the big day was great. My husband and I were actually late for an hour (NYC Friday afternoon traffic) and she still tried to meet us (even though she was missing her kid's graduation because of it! -Sorry, Sachiko!) When the wedding day came, she showed up early (big plus!)!!! She's really efficient, yet calm. She made all of us (including my mom and mother-in-law) look absolutely beautiful (love the fake eyelashes)!! She even did a quick touch up for my dad and my husband so that they look great in the pics! I am soooo lucky that I had her for my wedding day!! (btw, she's usually fairly booked, so, try to reserve your spot as early as possible...)

I can't say enough good things about Sachiko! I work in the wedding industry and had seen Sachiko's work many times in person, so when it was time for me to get married there was no doubt that she would do my hair and makeup. My wedding was outdoors on a warm day so we chose to do airbrush makeup which was the absolute best decision! My makeup survived through sweat and tears all day and looked wonderful! Sachiko brought a team to take care of 16 women that needed pro hair & makeup that day. We got compliments all day on how wonderful everyone looked! The ladies worked quickly and professionally. I couldn't have asked for a better team!

I got married at the Metropolitan Building in April 2010. Not only did Sachiko do an amazing job on me and my bridal party, but she went above and beyond for me throughout the entire day. I hired her for the full day and she made sure my hair and makeup was always perfect. I even had a "hair change" before the reception and she was able to do it in not-so-ideal conditions (it had to be done quickly, it was dark, and people were all around me). She also used airbrushing on me (which I highly recommend) and my makeup did not budge. I partied until 5am, slept in my makeup, and woke up still looking radiant. She is amazing! Thanks Sachiko!

Sachiko is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I was looking for a make-up artist that specialized in Asian hair and make-up. She is very prompt in returning messages / emails and professional from the start.

I went to see her for a make-up trial and she did a fantastic job! I was shocked at the results. The make-up and hair looked incredible! She is one of the nicest vendors I have spoken to. She genuinely cares about you and not just trying to make a quick buck like other vendors I've spoken to. I wish I could have had her as my make-up artist, but we decided to have a destination wedding.

Sachiko is such an angel! She did an amazing job on my makeup as well as the bridesmaids and moms and grandmothers. Everyone complimented on my make up and I have to say, i did look great! My husband could not stop complimented on how great I look that day. Sachiko managed to made me look like myself but with glam. The make up stayed all night and thanks to her suggestion to using airbrush. The makeup was flawless! I will definitely go to Sachiko for any special occasion makeup!

Sachiko was the best! She seemed to know exactly what to do to make everyone in the bridal party look amazing! (and my bridal party was a range of race, age, etc and she did an amazing job working with everyone's complexion, hair type etc) Honestly I went in with a very unclear idea of what I wanted to look like and she took the time to do several differerent trials on me and found soo many choices that looked great that the hardest part was picking one! She was always great responding to my emails, questions etc and was so sweet and professional on the day of. Honestly I couldn't recommend her highly enough!! Even at the last minute I had more people in my bridal party decided they wanted services (four days before) and she was luckily able to accomdate them. I thought she made me look better than i have EVER looked before. LOVE HER! My mom joked that she like her make up so much she almost didn't want to wash her face so she could keep it on the next day!

I love Sachiko. I would give her 10 stars if I could! From start to finish, Sachiko was professional, prompt in her responses, and ultimately she did a wonderful job. She has a sweet and calming personality, which was so comforting while getting ready on the big day.

At the trial, she inquired about my dress and accessories, my personal aesthetics in order to coordinate a cohesive style. She listened carefully to the look that I had in mind but yet had definite opinions and a strong sense of what would look good on photos. She used high quality cosmetics, such as Kiehls and NARS. She applied individual faux eyelashes and custom trimmed them. They felt light, comfortable, and totally gorgeous yet believable. We tried out four different hairstyles and discussed how we could easily modify the hairstyle to complement my dresses (I changed two times).

On my wedding day, I booked Sachiko for a 6 service package. Her prices were very reasonable for New York. She did hair and makeup for myself, my mom, and my mom-in-law. All three of us looked and felt fabulous. I honestly have never felt more beautiful. I cried and laughed the whole day, but my makeup and hair miraculously stayed in place with just occasional touch-ups with lip gloss and bobby pins. I'm looking for excuses to book her again for hair and makeup.

Absolutely recommended!

Sachiko did hair for me (bride), my mom, and 3 of my bridesmaids. Sachiko's work was BEAUTIFUL and gave each girl a different style - each style fit the girl to a "T". Sachiko's prices were very reasonable, and she was willing to travel, which was great, because who wants to travel around on their wedding day? Not this bride!

Not only was Sachiko's work beautiful, but she was great to have around and is such a sweetheart. She was able to keep me calm and comfortable (she knew I was very nervous about my hair) the whole day.

If anyone wants to see pictures of her BEAUTIFUL work, please let me know!

Sachiko is a great person to have on your wedding day! She not only does fabulous hair, she is a great source of calm. She was a soothing presence to be around. Not to mention she came armed with a suitcase (no joke) of styling products. By the end of the wedding night, the dance floor was practically a mosh pit but my hair still did not move one bit. Sachiko also made the Moms look great, even though both had very short hair. For the MOB, she made her look as if she had an updo using strategic placement of bobby pins and for the MOG, she made her look very chic and high-fashioned.

Sachiko was an angel to work with! She did the hair for my entire bridal party (4 girls), and my mother and my hair and make-up in about 5 hours. We were on or ahead of schedule the entire day. She was able to recreate any style that the my bridesmaid wanted. Most of the girls, including myself have very straight hair, and find it difficult to find people who can style our hair and make it stay up the entire night. All of our hair styles stayed up from 10 in the morning until 3 or 4 the next morning. Before my trial, I was wary about using fake eyelashes, but the entire day, I hardly felt a thing, and my make-up stayed flawless until the very end of the night.

Sachiko had such a calming influence, and is so experienced at doing wedding make-up/hair she knew all about the must take pictures, as well as how to calm nervous parents, bridesmaids, and in-laws.

I am extremely happy with sachiko's services. She did a fantastic job on my makeup, and it looked gorgeous while still being natural. It also lasted all night. I received tons of compliments on how I looked. She was a calming, soothing presence while I was getting ready. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist.

Sachiko is a truly talented makeup and hair artist. I went to her with no idea what I like. During the hair/makeup trial, she tried over 5 different hair styles so I know what looks best on me. I did a last minute reschedule on her and she was very understanding. On the day of the reception, she showed up early and went to work right away. I would definitely hire her for any of my beauty needs.

Sachiko is definitely the best in the whole NYC metro. When my older sister got married, she was making beautiful hair and makeup for my sister. My older sister look absolutely beautiful and astonishing on her wedding date. When my wedding came, of course, she was my hair stylist. She spent a very long time to concentrate my hair and communicate with me. My hair and make up and the whole dress can't be any better than I looked for.
My younger sister just got married last sunday and I couldn't think of any better gift than having Sachiko again as her wedding gift. Sachiko again made the magic happened and everyone was impressed by how pretty my younger sister looked at that night. Sachiko is definitely highly recommended for your wedding day. Her perfect skill can make all brides truly happy on the wedding day and you will see the value on your wedding photos. My sisters and my weddings photos all come out to be so satisfying and we really like Sachiko's work.
