Sandra Sennhauser

A Mobile Bridal Hair and Makeup Artist From Zurich

Sandra Sennhauser is a trained hair and makeup artist who lives in Zurich and specializes in bridal styling. She is mobile and styles the bride at the location she chooses on the wedding day. Her site sets out three bridal packages with prices, each including a trial, plus guest rates and a travel formula, so a couple can estimate the cost of the morning before writing. The site is in German and does not say which languages she works in.

One practical note from her homepage: she announced a pause for the 2026 season, as she was expecting her first child at the end of May 2026, and wrote that she would take weddings again from the beginning of September. A couple planning a wedding should confirm her current availability for their date.

Training

The about page gives a short history. As a child she loved doing hair, practicing on herself and her friends, and later discovered makeup as well. She turned both into a profession by training as an Advanced Make-up Artist at Art of Make-up in Zurich and adding further hairstyling training, and she chose to specialize in weddings. Her training list:

• 2021: Advanced Make-up Artist training at Art of Make-up, Zurich
• 2021: a basic bridal hairstyling course with Jessica Krenn
• 2021: the online academy of Kristina Gasperas and Kasia Fortuna
• 2022: coaching in bridal hairstyles with Susanne Giovanettoni
• 2023: a bridal makeup workshop with Thanh Thanh Hair & Make-up Artist
• 2023: the Absolutely Ineke online academy for bridal hairstyling

She gives her age as 30, and describes her manner as empathetic and her way of working as calm, which she hopes takes some of the nerves out of the styling. A lighter "Facts über mich" (facts about me) section adds that her favorite TV show is "Zwischen Tüll und Tränen", that she unwinds by dancing, and that her last long trip took her to Peru, Colombia and Bolivia.

Her Approach

Her stated aim is that the bridal makeup and hairstyle bring out the bride's natural beauty and do not disguise her. It matters to her, she writes, that the bride feels 100% comfortable, which is why the look is discussed and tried at the trial appointment. On the homepage she adds that she wants the makeup to be something special and suited to the bride's type while still natural.

For all packages she asks to see pictures of the dress and the planned wedding so the styling fits the overall concept. Each bride also receives a Styling Guide with advice on preparing skin and hair before the wedding.

Packages and Prices

The price page lists three bridal packages:

• Deluxe, CHF 840: hairstyling and makeup for the civil ceremony and for the wedding celebration (about 2.5 hours each), a trial of up to 3 hours, individual lashes if wanted, and a touch-up kit. This suits couples who hold the registry office ceremony and the celebration on different days.
• Essential, CHF 630: hairstyling and makeup for the wedding (about 2.5 hours), a trial of up to 3 hours, individual lashes if wanted, and a touch-up kit.
• Basic, CHF 380: hairstyling or makeup, with individual lashes, for the wedding, a trial of up to 2 hours, and a touch-up kit.

Additional people can be styled by arrangement and depending on time, for 1 to 2 people. Guest prices start at CHF 100 for makeup and CHF 110 for hairstyling.

Travel is charged from postal code 8047: a flat CHF 50 within 20 km, then CHF 1 for every further kilometer, counted for the round trip. Styling for photo shoots and events outside weddings is quoted on request.

How Booking Works

The bridal page sets out five steps:

1. Fill in the contact form with the wedding date, the styling location, any guest stylings and other details.
2. Receive a quote, with the option of a phone call to get to know each other.
3. Return the signed order confirmation, after which she reserves the date.
4. Agree a date for the trial; the Styling Guide with all the information to prepare for it arrives a few months beforehand.
5. Gather inspiration on Pinterest or Instagram. Her tip: choose hairstyle pictures of women with a similar hair color and length, to see how the style will look.

Portfolio and Reviews

The portfolio has sections for real brides, styled shoots and other hair and makeup work, with the photographers credited. Styled shoots include a boho wedding in St. Moritz, a mountain editorial in Andermatt, a Christmas wedding at the Chäsalp, a wedding at Schloss Seeburg, a "Love & Alpakas" shoot and a bridal editorial. These include mountain and winter settings. Each shoot credits the other suppliers involved, such as the wedding planners Wedditude and Bloomwedding, which gives a couple a sense of the Swiss wedding teams she has worked alongside. The description of her other hair and makeup work mentions looks from classic to autumnal makeup, boho hairstyles and loose updos, and her Instagram account, @sandra.hairandmakeupartist, carries more examples.

A bride named Caroline writes on the bridal page that Sandra responded to her type and wishes, that she felt comfortable all day in her natural makeup and elegant hairstyle, and that thanks to Sandra nobody noticed the sunburn she had picked up the day before.

What the Site Leaves Open

• Language: not stated.
• Trial location: the site does not say where the trial takes place.
• Larger parties: only 1 to 2 additional people are offered, so how a bigger bridal party would be handled is a question to raise.
• Deposit and cancellation: the order confirmation is mentioned, but its terms are not published.

Who It Suits

Sandra Sennhauser suits a bride in or around Zurich, or marrying elsewhere in Switzerland and willing to cover travel, who wants hair and makeup from one person with a natural result and clear package prices. The Deluxe package is a good fit for a civil ceremony and celebration on separate days. The caveats are the German-only site, the cap of 1 to 2 guest stylings, and the 2026 pause, which makes an early inquiry about availability important.
