Afshan helped me design the perfect bridal henna from my reference photos that perfectly complemented my different looks. She and her mother were incredibly accommodating and it was such a joy to talk with them while they were working. Both artists did incredible designs and all of our guests raved about the designs and the entire experience. The kids especially loved getting swords and flowers. We used Henna Me Beautiful to do henna for our families the day before the wedding and brought them back so they could work with guests during our Sangeet. Both experiences were truly lovely.

This review is long long overdue. Afshan provided mehndi for my wedding in Santa Barbara in October…read more2019 and I cannot recommend her enough! She not only did my designs but also then came the next day to do close family, and then she and her mother came to our garba-raas to provide designs for the majority of our guests! Afshan is so down to earth, honest, and creative. I am not your typical indian bride and I preferred more simple design with lots of negative space- she was very understanding and provided me with exactly what i was looking for. My aunts were super impressed with her ability to create masterpieces with speed without having to compromise on design. She brought a board with aftercare instructions for our friends who had not had it before. She was so sweet, and we had so much fun together! (total of 3 days of mehndi services!). She knew exactly how to time out the mehndi so that the stain was perfect on my wedding day! (we did it four days prior). Cannot thank/recommend her enough! Book her asap!

She even gave me options on last minute ideas and was able to squeeze me in during her busiest time. Her work is very thorough even on a look that doesn't involve much makeup. I had booked her a few weeks ago just for a more natural yet very classy look for an eloquent luncheon I attended and I received several compliments on the way my makeup was done. Her pricing is just right for the great quality of work you receive. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I will continue to return to her with events to come! Thank you Alyssa!

I met Sam the owner when she was airbrushing the girls on my daughters water polo team. It was such…read morea hit with the teens and she did such a wonderful job I asked for her to do some airbrushing entertainment at my daughters 16th birthday party. She helped me with so much more than just the airbrushing. She had wonderful ideas for throwing a party and talked with me at length about how to keep the flow of the party atmosphere going. She came early to set up and stayed late to clean up. Most impressive was her artistic ability to make really cool and real looking tattoos! Which is fun for teens to "pretend" and imagine what a real one would be like without the commitment at such a young age. She also brought some hair feathers and henna. She was very reasonably priced. She has a very sweet easy way about her that work for adults, teens and kids! She stayed and kept going until every quest had the tattoo they wanted and most quest had multiple tattoos!! It was very fun and was the absolute hit of the party. Still a year later my daughters friends still talk about her party and the cool tattoos!! I highly recommend her too anyone looking for some fun and cool entertainment for your party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
