The Sands Collective

Carefully selected hair and makeup artists for brides and couples, wedding parties, and special occasions.

Welcome to the Collective

Polished Glam for Every Celebration

The Sands Collective is our hand selected team of artists, carefully chosen for their polished, soft glam artistry and led by Sandy Nguyen.

We do hair and makeup for brides and couples, wedding parties of every size, and special occasions, in the Bay Area and at destination weddings. Cohesive, elevated beauty for larger parties is our specialty, so you, your closest friends, and your family feel confident, polished, and photo ready from the first photo to the final dance.

Every one of us was chosen intentionally. We met working jobs together and loved each other’s energy and work, and some of us go back to the very start of Sandy’s career. Energy matters to us as much as artistry, so you are in warm, like minded hands.

Our luxury bridal packages, Timeless Glow, Sands Signature, and The Glam Experience, are with Sandy herself, and the Collective can glam your wedding party alongside her. Explore the packages

with love, The Sands Collective

Kind words

Sandy and her team did hair and makeup for me, both of our moms, and two of my bridesmaids. At the very last minute, my aunt decided she wanted to have her hair and makeup done as well, and Sandy and her team went above and beyond to make it happen.
