I worked with Sam and her team for my Bridal makeup and she was AWESOME! To start, I traveled an hour - one way - to see her for my custom bridal facials leading up to my wedding and my skin has NEVER looked as good as it did on my wedding day.
I'm not a big makeup girlie, so we discussed my vision of what I wanted to look like on the day of and we did a trial which went perfectly. She made me look and feel so beautiful and confident.
Wedding day went so smooth with 9 girls getting hair and makeup - Sam and her team were punctual, professional, and so fun to work with. I would highly recommend using them for any makeup or facials!

truly make a huge difference in how your makeup looks on your big day. Plus, everyone deserves those self-care moments!
On the wedding day, Sam and Bianca arrived right on time and were completely prepared for us. As soon as we got there, everything flowed smoothly and the girls went straight into their chairs. My entire wedding party, the moms, and I all felt absolutely beautiful. One of my favorite moments was watching everyone’s reactions when they looked in the mirror—the smiles and confidence were priceless.
Through all the laughter, tears, dancing, and celebrating, our hair and makeup stayed flawless. Honestly, I’m pretty sure mine could have lasted another day!
I highly recommend booking the Glam with Sam team for your wedding—you will not be disappointed.

rocess, trial, to the day of was so smooth and easy. Sam really eased the stress that comes along with a wedding. I knew i did not have to worry. Her team listened to all my bridesmaids on what they wanted and everyone was happy with the outcome. My whole party received compliments all night long and the makeup held up even through all the dancing and sweating! Everyone’s hair and makeup looked they stepped out of a magazine. 5 Stars! I will definitely be recommending to anyone who is need of these services. Thank you so much!

If you’re looking for a hair and makeup team in Maryland (or anywhere they travel), look no further. They made me feel so beautiful on the best day of my life, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
All of my bridesmaids and our moms loved their looks, and our sneak peek photos turned out stunning. Sam’s makeup artistry is unmatched, and I feel so lucky to have had her and her incredible team be part of my wedding day!

eginning to end was so easy. When you go for your trial you discuss everything you’re looking for and she listens. When you finish the trial you have the chance to make any adjustments etc. I also had my bonus daughter and flower girls done by Sam and they absolutely loved it. (Not full makeup everyone just simple cute little girls getting a little done up). Sam made me feel special and valued which is what we all want on our big day. I would 100% recommend her and her company! Prices are great, communication is on time and easy, you receive a trial, and you have the choice of airbrush if you would like and lashes. This is the biggest day ladies.. hire the best there is in the game! You won’t regret it!

Sam was absolutely wonderful to work with! I had a very difficult time finding a makeup artist - people didn't respond or their prices were outrageous. I inquired via Sam's website...
and she responded in under 15 minutes! She was a quick communicator and had a quick turn around time with contracts and information. Her flexibility was awesome as I had to make some changes as the wedding planning process progressed. Day-of she was early and ready to go. She worked quickly while still taking her time to give each of my girls the attention they deserved. She was also wonderful with my flower girl, answering her MANY questions. Her personality is great and the entire process felt like I had a friend doing my makeup. I personally did not use any services by her other stylists, but I did meet some along the way who were also great to chat with and I would have gladly given the chance if needed. I highly recommend Sam and I would trust anyone that she trusted from her business.
