I worked with Abhilasha for my pre-wedding and wedding looks. Over the course of my wedding weekend, we spent a lot of time together while she did my bridal makeup, hair and draping - she is such a warm, friendly person who makes you feel very comfortable and at ease. I appreciated that I felt and looked like myself for each look, and her eye for detail is spectacular. Abhilasha was so on-time and I was ready early for every single event! This made the rest of the wedding schedule feel less hectic, and I had a little more time to myself before each event. A member of Abhilasha's team, Leeza, did makeup and draping for my bridal party. Everyone was so happy with how their makeup turned out, and she was so great at working diligently but quickly. I'd highly recommend working with Abhilasha and her team for any wedding or event needs! read more

I cannot recommend Abhilasha and team enough. Even 5 starts feels like an understatement for how we would rate our experience. Our wedding day started extremely early with a 3:45 AM call time, and she showed up with the best attitude--calm, supportive, and full of positive energy. On both the wedding day and the reception day, which were busy and sometimes hectic, she helped create such a reassuring and relaxed environment. In the middle of all the nerves and chaos that can come with a wedding weekend, she somehow made getting my makeup done feel like such a personal, calm, self-care moment. Most importantly, the makeup itself was everything I had imagined it to be. She perfectly captured the vision I had for both days, matching the different vibes of the wedding and reception while still making me feel like the best version of myself. The looks lasted all day. Abhilasha also brought such a wonderful energy and professionalism that truly elevated the entire experience. She is so kind and easy to speak with. I'm so grateful she was part of my wedding weekend, and I would recommend her to any bride without hesitation. read more

I cannot recommend Abhilasha enough! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and from start to finish, she was absolutely incredible. She was always prompt and extremely responsive, which made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. What truly sets her apart is the amount of care she puts in well before the big day -- she started prep work months in advance with personalized skincare recommendations that I've actually continued even after the wedding. She also helped me better understand my own skin type and hair type, which has been incredibly valuable well beyond the wedding. She truly felt like a partner throughout the entire journey. Abhilasha has a true vision and is exactly the kind of artist you can fully trust to work her magic. I felt completely confident in her hands, and the final look was even better than I imagined. She even gave me a mini spa treatment in between events, which was such a calming touch during a busy wedding schedule. Her team -- Priyanka and Leeza -- were equally amazing. They did hair and makeup for my immediate family and paid such careful attention to what each person was comfortable with. They really understood how to manage different hair textures, hair volumes, and skin types, while balancing individual hair and makeup preferences. Everyone felt like the best version of themselves. They also created such a fun, relaxed environment, which made the whole experience even more special. read more

Abhilasha and Leeza are pure magic. From the moment she walked in, it didn't feel like getting my hair and makeup done, it felt like being taken care of inside and out. She has a beautiful, holistic way of working that grounds you before she even picks up a brush, with breathing exercises, gentle massages, and genuine care for how you are feeling. Her approach to skincare was incredible, and I could see changes in my skin within just two events. I barely showed her any inspiration pictures because I knew she would bring my vision to life, and she did even better than I could have imagined. My sari pleats were perfectly secure, my makeup felt light yet flawless, and I still looked and felt like myself, just the most elevated version. Her work is extremely professional and some of the highest quality out there. It would be a mistake not to have her do your makeup, and hiring her was truly the best investment I made for my wedding. Her energy is what makes her truly unforgettable. She is kind, fun, calming, and somehow becomes your hype woman and friend all at once. On my wedding day she made me feel like the main character of my own story, and I genuinely miss her now. Working with her was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. read more

I did a trial and wedding day make up with Abhilasha. She worked with my eczematous skin beautifully and I looked and felt amazing the entire time I had make up on. She is a super star. Would book her anytime read more

What can I say to capture the phenomenon that is Abhilasha in one review :) .. Which is why it took me so long to write it!! She is an artist, master, a beautiful human ! I have had my hair cut , colored and styled with her several times in past one year and also have started using her hair/skin products recently ! I am someone that takes a while to trust anyone when it comes to hair but with her it was so smooth. I knew she knows her magic the instant I met her ! She blends her skilled expertise, experience and advice to break it down. Working with her i feel like I now have a roadmap for my beauty needs :) . She will know when to push you just right and when to just flow with you for your needs . When it comes to the hair specifics , things I loved were her deep knowledge of Indian/dark hair. She avoids using bleach and delivers amazing results with her toner coloring style causing lesser damage and lower maintenance. She also cuts the hair in a unique way where she works on your specific needs. My issue was fine thin hair and rounded face . She gave me a great hair cut without taking too much length off and right placement of layers for fullness and face frame. For color , she studied my skin tone , colored theoried it, looked at the state of my hair , the season etc. We first did a cool tone brown and now graduated towards more warmer red tinge brown. I love it! She also recommends products .Her hair oil and face serum is amazing! Pro tip - book her fast :) be open to traveling to her on a weekday . You are not going to go wrong with Abhilasha , you will just thank me later hahha !! read more

Abhilasha was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding! She grounded me with her calm, warm energy and made the morning feel magical and relaxing. She made me feel very centered and open. Then she seamlessly shifted into power mode for my second look, given I was behind schedule, her magic turned out absolutely stunning. Beyond her incredible artistry, her energy and care truly set her apart. If you want to have a relaxing time while looking gorgeous, she's the one! read more

I started working with Abhilasha nearly a year before my wedding, and from the very beginning, I knew I had found someone truly special. My biggest fear going into wedding planning was looking back at my photos and not recognizing myself. I wanted to look beautiful, of course, but still me--not a generic version of a bride. Abhilasha understood that instantly. As a South Indian bride wearing a traditional kanjeevaram silk saree for my ceremony, it was also incredibly important to me that my saree be draped perfectly. Abhilasha was the only person I trusted to get every detail just right. What set Abhilasha apart was that she wasn't just a hair and makeup artist--she was my favorite vendor, a trusted guide, and honestly, a calming presence throughout the entire process. From day one, she brought warmth, positivity, and professionalism. She didn't just show up to do makeup--she helped me build a skincare and haircare routine rooted in both outer care and inner wellness. Her herbal tea recipes became part of my daily ritual (I still drink them religiously), and her recommendations for products (like the perfect daytime primer!) made a visible difference in my skin and hair health well before the big day. She also stepped into a stylist-like role, sending inspiration for outfits, jewelry, and even shoes. She was always just a WhatsApp message away--never once making me feel like I was asking too much. When I needed an extra FaceTime call to talk through ideas, she made the time. She handled all the logistics seamlessly, so I never had to stress about schedules or her team. For my first two events, I worked with her senior artists, and they were phenomenal. Abhilasha had briefed them thoroughly, and they executed each look with so much care and talent. For my sangeet, wedding ceremony, and reception, I had the joy of working with Abhilasha directly--and those experiences were truly magical. At each event, I felt like the most beautiful version of myself. My looks were elevated and polished, but still completely "me." I received so many compliments, and my photos capture exactly how I felt--confident, radiant, and grounded. What I'll never forget is how Abhilasha began each session with a calming breathing exercise and massage to center me. Those few moments of quiet were such a gift amidst the joyful chaos of a wedding weekend. Abhilasha is an artist in every sense of the word, but more than that, she's a rare and generous soul. I cannot recommend her enough to any bride looking for someone who will make them feel truly seen, supported, and beautiful. read more

I feel so lucky to have had Abhilasha as my bridal hair and makeup artist. She is exceptionally talented, punctual, patient, and she listens. As someone who rarely wears makeup or experiments with hairstyles, I was nervous about not feeling like myself, but she really got to know me and made me feel like the most beautiful, confident version of myself. She also has an incredible ability to read people--if she sensed I wasn't 100% sure, she created space for me to share feedback and worked with me until everything felt perfect. Abhilasha also provided me with a holistic skin and hair plan leading up to the wedding, which showed me how deeply she cares about her brides, not just for the wedding events, but in the long term as well. Plus, she's an absolute expert in draping and helped me transition from my ceremony to reception outfit so quickly that I was able to attend cocktail hour with our guests! Most importantly, Abhilasha was a calming, grounding presence on my wedding day as my nerves set in and truly took care of me every step of the way. I couldn't imagine my wedding without her! read more

Abhi was one of the best parts about my wedding! In the lead up to my wedding as I kept reevaluating my budget, I was rethinking things, but I am SO happy I invested in her! She was so chill to be around, she helped me pick out my entrance music (LOL), she patiently listened to me complain about wedding planning, she put up with a lot of chaos on the wedding day, my friends (the chaos) loved her vibe, she was more correct about my skin type than I was (lol), and the makeup was fab. I didn't have a makeup trial, so I sent some inspiration pictures and just trusted her, which was the right thing to do! I felt like myself, not like a barbie. I got so many compliments on the makeup! She helped me get used to fake lashes, which I had never worn before. She helped my mom get comfortable with her makeup and hair when she wanted to change things, and was so kind and understanding. Just overall, I loved working with her. She knew what we wanted without us saying much. It was kind of crazy, but a testament to her experience. She's well worth it! The best of the best. read more

Abhilasha was quite literally the best person I could have had by my side. She not only made me feel beautiful on the most important day of my life, but was empathetic and lovely throughout the whole process. Getting married is such an exciting time and all you want is to feel pretty and relaxed when the time comes. Abhilasha will be your best friend and guru to make sure you are the best version of yourself. I am so grateful I had the privilege of working with her and she is cemented in my memory as one of the most wonderful people I had the opportunity to be surrounded by on my special weekend. read more

Abhilasha is a rare find - I was lucky to hire her for my wedding this October. It's hard to find people who are as organized and as artistic/talented as her. It's a rare combo and one that comes across so well in how amazing her work is. She was one of the first vendors I booked and she helped me get a skincare routine that prepped me for the wedding (and still going strong!). She is so available for her brides and even texted me while I was shopping in India to give her (strong but impeccable) opinions :P She worked with me to solidify and craft a vision for each look and executed them all so beautifully. I didn't do a trial with her but was confident that the looks would all be amazing. Each look was so different but SO me. I felt really fun, beautiful and fierce throughout the weekend and it brought out a confidence in me that was really amazing to have in those moments. I also really appreciated her calm rituals, warm personality and efficiency in the process of getting ready for each event. They helped me in feeling very present throughout the weekend, which I appreciated so much.. Abhilasha's team was also so good - I hired them for my cousins, aunts, bridesmaids and in-laws. My mother in law was nervous about getting make up she actually liked for the wedding since she's had bad experiences in the past and, for all three events, she just loved how it turned out. They really listened to her and made it perfect! Everyone else in my family also loved getting their hair/makeup/saris done by the team. They were on time, quick and did the looks everyone was hoping for. Don't hesitate book Abhilasha! She and her talented team provide such a pleasant, professional experience and looking phenomenal! read more

Abhilasha did an amazing job for my wedding events! I was nervous going in because I didn't have a clear image of exactly what I wanted and I was putting a lot of trust in Abhilasha. But she made it so easy! She asked so many questions and worked with me to create the perfect look. She used my outfit as inspiration rather than doing just a template look. I especially loved the chit chat during the makeup session, I felt more at ease and relaxed before my events than I thought I could. She was so nice and personable. I received so many compliments on the looks. I hope to work with her again! read more

I had a great experience with Abhilasha for my bridal makeup and hair on Sangeet and wedding day. She was very professional, on time and knows what she's doing. I had a general idea of what I wanted but not exact looks, she understood my requirements and my skin and executed everything perfectly. Loved both my looks and got so many compliments. Thank you so much. I had also worked with Maggie from Abhilasha's team for my haldi event and she did a great job on my makeup and hair for the same. Would definitely recommend them. :) read more

Abhilasha is everything you could want in a wedding hair and makeup artist and more - incredibly talented, highly professional, and charismatic with a calming presence. She listens to what you are looking for and flawlessly executes it with her own creative touches. I loved my trial makeup, yet she still made enhancements to make it even better on my wedding day! My wedding makeup was done AHEAD of schedule and lasted all day - 10+ hours (from before ceremony through end of reception). Don't think twice, book Abhilasha for your wedding for a stress free and amazing experience! Wedding Date: 06/15/24 Wedding Location: San Francisco read more

Abhilasha did my makeup for 3 of my wedding events. The thing that I love about her work is that she starts from the basics. She gave me a haircare and skincare regimen which mostly included at home remedies like lemon and honey water every morning. During the wedding my complexion was the most even it's ever been so I felt so confident in my skin. While Abhilasha was glamming me up, she set a great environment that helped me feel extremely calm, relaxed, and excited for what was to come. I loved that each of the looks was very different from the others. I felt so beautiful and still looked like myself. The makeup didn't budge with all the of the dancing and heat. read more

To all future brides, Abhilasha is truly a gem. I had the pleasure of working with her in February for my engagement. She achieved the look I was going for in the best way possible. Post engagement, I had decided that I wanted to work with Abhilasha for all of my wedding events. We covered all the skincare regimens to follow in order to achieve the best skin before my wedding in August. She constantly checked in on me and was always a text away for any questions. I truly believe that in this industry it is very difficult to find a makeup artist like Abhilasha. More than just being great at her work, she is also an amazing, sweet person to talk to. Throughout my insane wedding week, Abhilasha went above and beyond to make sure every look was phenomenal! I was in awe with each look and truly felt like the prettiest bride. When Abhilasha says we will do different looks, she truly does mean that. She ensured each day was unique, and blended with the event. I could not be happier with my choice of working with Abhilasha. I will cherish my wedding photos and videos forever because I truly believe your makeup/hair artist matters. If you ever have any doubts regarding booking her, I hope this review helps relieve the stress of wedding planning and you simply choose Abhilasha for your special day :) read more

This review has been long due but I wanted to take my time to write the best review for this absolute gem of a person. I checked out multiple HMU artists to deck me up on my special day but Abhilasha stood out from the beginning. Her rates are extremely nominal as per the industry standard and from the get go since I booked her I never looked back. Abhilasha is extremely good at what she does. As soon as I booked her, I had a private consultation with her where she understood what I wanted for my big day. It only took her a few minutes to exactly understand my vision. She also sends over a personalized skincare routine for all her brides. If you are a future Abhilasha bride, make sure you follow that to the point. My skin looked so glowy and flawless in less than 2 months. One of the biggest reasons I loved Abhilasha was for her work ethic. She is always accessible to answer any and all of your questions. She even helped me pick out the jewelry for my dress. On the day of the event, Aby was there 15mins before the time we were supposed to meet. She has this big positive energy which, trust me, you'd definitely want around on your big day. We did some quick skin prep and then she got to working her magic. I had booked her half day package with 2 saree changes and 1 hairdo change. I had a vision in my mind but I wasn't sure if I communicated it well, I just decided to trust her with it and Aby delivered exactly what I wanted. The final look was even better than what I had planned. She did a modern deconstructed braid and even my mom who wanted a traditional look was so happy with. She also did a touch up for the groom. He wasn't too sure about having makeup on but was also so happy he did. It looked very natural and his exact words were "I look 5 years younger" We had a super packed schedule and some delays in the pooja and I had less than 15mins for my second saree change. I didn't think it was going to be enough, no one did. But Aby was done in 10! I'm still shocked how she managed to change my saree and my accessories and still saved few mins for a quick touch up all in 10mins. The final look of the day was my biggest highlight. She had recommended to do beach waves for the reception and I decided to go with her recommendation and I'm so glad I did. The look was so fun and she also changed my makeup from traditional to glam with just a quick touch up. Aby is such a delight to work with. I'm so glad I got to meet her through this process. I'm sure I'll be going back to her for more. If you are a bride looking for a makeup artist, book her right now. You will not regret it! read more

This review is long overdue but Abhilasha did a wonderful job on my bridal makeup! I wanted a classical South Indian look and she delivered the goods, creating a colour palette that beautifully complemented my bridal sari. She is wildly experienced and was able to adapt to changes in the schedule easily, particularly when it came to my family members' needs. I absolutely loved my look on my wedding day and felt she really understood what I was looking for - I kept saying I wanted to get "pinker" which is hardly specific, and she knew exactly what I meant. In general, I would suggest that you have a very clear idea of what your wedding venue is going to look like when planning your looks with her. The lighting at my pre-wedding event was very different from the wedding day, and as a result the makeup that day looked really heavy and ashen in photos. I'm not familiar with makeup so I didn't think to mention lighting, and she didn't ask either. I think this could have been avoided with more discussion about the looks up front and being really firm about what you're looking for. Overall, with the right amount of communication, I think you'll be in good hands working with her. read more

Abhilasha did my bridal makeup, hair and dupatta setting. She did an absolutely fantastic job. I had a day to night wedding and the makeup stayed on for the entire day and looked flawless the entire duration. I had a change of outfit and look and had a hair up for my ceremony and transitioned to open hair for reception in the evening I had a easy time changing me hair and dress in less than 20 min. I made a last min request to do my mothers makeup and abhilasha was able flexible and was able to accommodate my request. Abhilasha is very responsive and followed though before the wedding day confirming with me what inspiration I had for makeup and hair. I was able to materialize my inspiration and I looked a million $$$$ read more

Abhilasha's team Prati and Leeza did my and my moms make up and hair for my sisters wedding. They were both extremely fast and professional. The make up look I showed as inspo photos definitely transpired in real life. We were having few issues with hair extensions initially but Prati and Leeza were able to fix it. Some detailed discussion in advance regarding the hair extensions would have been helpful since these were brand new and the length turned to be long for the style I was looking for. The venue location was quite windy and my mom's bun was the only one that stayed put throughout the ceremony. Overall the team did an amazing job and you will definitely be in good hands with their expertise. read more

Prati from Abhilasha's team did my make up for my wedding reception. I'm so thrilled with the way I looked. I was extreme tired, dehydrated and work out when Prati started, she made me look absolutely perfect. She was such a pleasure to be around, got me to drink a ton of water, calm down and focus on myself, while making me look amazing. She gave me exactly what I wanted (a subtle, glowy look to go with my father over the top outfit) . She gave me lashes, and did my hair with extensions, I got so many compliments on my hair, it was so natural! Nobody (including my husband) could tell that it was artificial. I highly recommend the team. They are very communicative, meticulous and listen to what you ask for, read more

Makeup By Abhilasha Singh - Makeup Artists Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

We had a great experience with Abhilasha's bridal and groom hair-and-makeup services for our sangeet, ceremony, and reception. Each of the looks she crafted for the bride were unique and top-notch, and the styling she provided to the groom made him look his best during each event. She also did a wonderful job with bridal saree draping and jewelry setting. If you are looking for a high-end hair-and-makeup artist that brings out natural beauty and creates looks that work well with your outfits, then you should definitely go with Abhilasha for your wedding. One of the first things that stood out to us when meeting with hair-and-makeup artists during the early stages of wedding planning was the fact that Abhilasha had a ton of experience with South Indian brides, which is not the case for many artists. Her Instagram also features a wide variety of looks, complexions, and face types that showcases the strength of her artistry and skills. Based on this portfolio of work and the fact that her pricing was fair (i.e., comparable to other leading hair-and-makeup artists in the Bay Area), we felt comfortable that Abhilasha was the right artist for our South Indian wedding. In advance of the wedding weekend, we exchanged stylistic ideas with Abhilasha to ensure that we were aligned on what types of looks we wanted to achieve. During the hair and makeup trial, we tried a look for our sangeet that didn't quite work. Over the next few days, we discussed different options, and she ultimately helped select a look that turned out great for the sangeet. We really appreciated that Abhilasha listened to our feedback and worked with us to arrive at great looks for the different events. Additionally, Abhilasha provided us with great feedback on the jewelry that we were considering for the ceremony. For example, she noticed an inconsistency in style between two elements of the bride's ceremony outfit. Because she flagged this about a month in advance of the wedding, it gave us enough time to find a better alternative. Based on our experience, we highly recommend scheduling a bridal trial if you want to test out a unique look so that you avoid any surprises on wedding day. We were very happy we did this as it made us feel more comfortable entering the wedding weekend. During the wedding weekend, Abhilasha was on-time, organized, and professional. She told us to block off 2.5-3 hours for each hair-and-makeup session, which was an accurate estimate. She paid very close attention to detail and made sure that every look was as close to perfection as could be. She also was thoughtful - she made sure there was not too much commotion in the bridal suite during the pre-reception hair-and-makeup session, which allowed the bride to take a nap while getting her hair done. Abhilasha is a fun, sassy, and honest person, which means you will not be bored during your hair and makeup sessions. Abhilasha also did the groom's makeup for each of the events (it took about 10-15 minutes per event). While some people may not think this is necessary, we found that her makeup made sure the groom looked his best during the wedding photoshoots. Ultimately, if you are planning an Indian wedding in the Bay Area or Napa and want an elevated look for your bridal and groom hair-and-makeup, then you should strongly consider Abhilasha. Her work is top-notch and you will walk away feeling extremely satisfied with your looks for your wedding events. read more

Worked with Abhilasha and her team for my wedding- she did my hair, makeup, and saree draping and her team did my mom, mother in law, and bridesmaids. Can not recommend Abhilasha highly enough! She did quite a few consultations beforehand which helped prep my hair/skin for the wedding, was super helpful with other things (alterations, etc.) and did a great job with both my more subtle south Indian look in the morning and the more dramatic look for the evening reception! She also perfectly draped both my sarees- my 9 yard in particular looked great! My friends and family also liked the looks her team did, but be sure to come prepared with specific ideas when working with them. Highly recommend working with Abhilasha and team for your wedding! read more

Abhilasha did my hair and makeup for my sangeet, wedding, and reception. She was amazing. I knew I wanted to look like myself, but better and she delivered. From the first consult to the trial to the wedding event days, Abhilasha was nothing but professional and kind. In between, she responded promptly to my WhatsApp messages about my outfit and jewelry, plus brainstorming look ideas. I had never done extensions before but knew I wanted them and she made them look so flawless for my Sangeet look! For my reception look, we only had an hour yet Abhilasha completed transformed my hair and makeup. And she did it so efficiently that it only took her 45 mins! Her artists did the hair and makeup for my family (my mom and three sister-in laws) for the same events. They had nothing but amazing things to say about her team artists. I highly recommend Abhilasha and her team. Thank you again for everything you did to make me feel my best on my most special days. read more

This review is long overdue, mainly because I don't know where to begin with Abhilasha - who is not only the artist behind my wedding looks but truly someone I admire. In case this review is long, here are the highlights and please refer to the photos for her work: - Abhilasha did my makeup, hair, draping, and styling of my wedding and reception looks to exactly what I envisioned! - Abhilasha has the most impressive resume of any makeup artists in the Bay Area (I'm sure beyond too). She was the head stylist for the biggest salon in Mumbai, personal makeup artist for Bollywood celebrities, fashion shows, etc. - She LISTENS to what you want, and highlights it. She wasn't pushy with her opinions, and I truly felt that she cared about what I looked like. - She is not your cookie cutter South Asian makeup artist. She made me look like myself, just more enhanced and I could actually see my skin through the makeup. I was glowing, but not drowning in product. - She reviewed my skin and gave me a skincare routine before the wedding! (Shes also certified in that) - She is now my go to hair stylist! She did an amazing job cutting my hair as well. - She is super flexible, easy to work with, and exactly the kind of support you need on the biggest day of your life. Now for the long post: If you're reading this, you're looking for a bridal makeup artist. If you're reading this, I hope you're looking to look like yourself, with a little bit of spark. I was in an absolute bind when the trial did not work out with my original indian wedding makeup artist- the lesson I learned was that you should have a stronger opinion about who does your makeup for your wedding day. It is a very big (and expensive) investment, that you can't dismiss by saying 'I don't care about makeup' because if you didn't, then you wouldn't pay anyone for it. And if you do, then make sure you have an opinion about it- and if you're listening to me, I hope you're lucky and Abhilasha is free for your wedding weekend. Abhilasha moved to California a few years ago, after I was searching for my bridal makeup artist. But since Covid, I came across her work and was kicking myself for not knowing about her sooner. Abhilasha, like I always tell you, I'm so glad you did a favor for Amrit (from Anais events) on your 'free weekend' by agreeing to do my makeup so last minute. Not only does she have an absolutely amazing resume (head hair stylist for one of the most famous salons in Mumbai, makeup artist to Bollywood celebrities, fashion shows etc.), she is also an incredible human being and just one of those vendors that actually listen to what you want instead of pushing what they think is best for you. Thank you so much for being you, Abhilasha, and for taking so much pride in your work and delivering it with such skill and ease- I hope everyone in the industry has your passion, skill, and love for what they do. As someone on one of the most vulnerable days of her life, I'm glad you were someone I could trust to deliver. read more

This review is long overdue - Abhilasha did my makeup and hair for all my wedding events (Welcome Party, Sangeet, Wedding, and Reception) in July. I had been follow Abhilasha for a while and had been a huge fan of all her work. So when it came time to find a makeup and hair artist for my wedding, it was a no brainer for me that my first choice would be Abhilasha. We had a consultation in January where she gave me tips and tricks for my skincare and haircare. To this day, I use her suggestions. I trust her 100%. She truly cares about her clients and her attention to detail is immaculate. The weekend of the wedding, I didn't need to worry for a second about any of my looks because she made sure everything was flawless, from the makeup and hair to the pinning and glueing of jewelry, so that nothing would fall off or sweat off. I was able to sit back and enjoy the entire process. While getting ready, she played music and we chatted the whole time. It was one of my favorite moments of the whole process! Abhilasha is a true gem! She makes you feel comfortable in your own skin, and goes above beyond! She is a true professional and best in business. I would 10/10 recommend! You'll be in the best hands! read more

So glad I chose Abhilasha as my hair & makeup artist for my wedding! I have a standard daily hair/makeup look so I was nervous about changing it up too much and not looking like myself. I went with Abhilasha based on the bridal looks I had seen on her Instagram. She was also really nice to talk to via Zoom and text - we discussed plans for each of my looks and she made me feel comfortable moving forward even without a trial. I finally met her the day of the Sangeet in my hotel suite. My cat and fiancé were there as well and we had a great time - she even had some tips and products for him! I was blown away by the looks she created for me. I wanted my hair at least partially down for all the events and she created gorgeous different looks incorporating extensions and fresh flowers. Makeup made me look and feel like the best version of myself. Thanks again for everything Abhilasha and I hope to see you again! :) read more

I could not have asked for a better experience or a more beautiful bridal look with Abhilasha for my wedding! I asked her to do hair and makeup for my wedding and reception and really wanted to incorporate a minimal look for both events and Abhilasha really took the time to explore both of my desired looks delivered big time! I cannot recommend Abhilasha enough to any bride who needs a makeup artist for their wedding and only recommend they try to book her as soon as possible because she is more than worth it! Thank you Abhilasha for making my day so special and memorable!!! read more

Abhilasha was a total all-star to work with on my wedding day! From the trial makeup to the actual day, she was instrumental in helping me make the best choices of look, jewelry, styling. She also provided a comprehensive regimen for skin and hair which was amazing. On the day of, we had a blast getting ready and she made me feel extremely relaxed while keeping things extremely on track. I was blown away by my final look and got so many compliments. She was so meticulous with every detail and super professional in ensuring everything was done to perfection. I can't recommend Abhilasha more highly for your big day! read more

Abhilasha was my makeup and hair artist for my wedding in the Bay Area, and she did a fantastic job for both my events (traditional and western). She took the time to understand my skin type and preferences, and made recommendations for styles that would work for me. Abhilasha worked with me to help find a skin routine that would work for my skin months before my event and tailored her plans based on how my skin reacted to each look. She works hard to achieve the elegant minimal makeup look and doesn't cake on artificial looking makeup. Highly highly highly recommend her work for all brides! read more

Abhilasha is incredible. She is professional, patient, kind and so talented. She gives great advice about health and skincare that I followed for months leading up to the wedding. I showed her a few inspiration photos for my ceremony and reception looks and she immediately knew what I wanted. I was very nervous about changing looks between my wedding and reception because I had a tight schedule, but she worked so fast with her team to change my hair and makeup and I can't believe how amazing it turned out. I I loved my looks and have never felt so beautiful! I highly recommend her if you want a stress-free and on-time wedding!! read more

Aby was super helpful from start to end of my crazy last minute pandemic time wedding. From helping me with offering recommendations of vendors for different needs such as coordinator, decor, henna, clothing and jewelry etc. I was only able to move forward confidently planning quickly based on her helpful nature. Coming to the makeup aspect, I loved her thorough professionalism. She keeps it to work, helped me experiment with my looks and hairstyles and made me feel very comfortable with whatever I was willing to take on. Makeup is different for different people and I'm someone who is amateur with makeup and my big day needed a refreshing look. For my wedding we had to work through details without the outfit since my outfit only arrived day before my wedding due to shipping delays from India. Overall my husband and my guests loved the new look for my wedding day and Aby was on time to help with the changing venue due to some miscommunication from the venue folks and us having to prepare and get ready at home. Overall I'd recommend Aby for her professionalism, dedication, offering to help and be sound board when stressed (because wedding planning is a draining task). I highly recommend Aby for your next event or occasion makeup needs, she is a fabulous expert and extremely humble! read more

Abhilasha is absolutely incredible!! The magic she creates with hair and makeup is easy to see in photos and videos, but she does so much behind the scenes too. She created a personalized skincare regimen for me months before my wedding, admittedly I wasn't following it at first but during my trial a couple of months before the wedding, she reminded me that it would make a big difference. Even though I hadn't been following it as I should have been, once I started I saw a difference within a couple of weeks. It's now been over a month since my wedding and I'm still following the same skincare routine that she created for me. I had to change into another saree during my wedding, and we were a little nervous about changing quickly so that guests wouldn't be waiting around during the ceremony. Abhilasha changed my saree, jewelry, and flowers for my hair in about 20 minutes! Her prepleating for the sarees is so neatly done and makes the draping so quick. There are so many things that can stress out a bride on her wedding day, but I wasn't even slightly worried about how I'd look thanks to Abhilasha :) read more

Abhilasha did my hair and makeup for my sangeet, wedding, and reception. I found her through Instagram and loved all the different looks she creates. We first spoke in January where she gave me a full on skin care routine catered to my skin type. I've been using her skin care suggestions every single day and my skin has never looked better! I trust Abhilasha 1000%! She also worked with me to come up with my 3 looks. She was very receptive to my needs and also shared her own ideas which I appreciated since hair and makeup is not my forte. I got married in September and all three looks were just stunning! Abhilasha did a phenomenal job and I'm so happy she did my events. I didn't do a trial with Abhilasha so my sangeet acted as our trial. We realized after a night of dancing and sweating, my eye shadow creased by the end of the night because of my overly oily skin, so for my wedding and reception she knew what product changes to make to prevent that from happening again, since I love to dance and sweat easily. She is so friendly and we shared lot of laughs and giggles. I also loved a bunch of the products she used on me and ended up buying them for myself! Abhilasha is the best in the business and I can't express enough how much I trust her work! read more

I can confidently say, I have never looked more beautiful than as a bride after Abhilasha did me up. Looking in the mirror after I put my lehnga on brought tears to my eyes (didn't let them fall so my makeup didn't get messed up). I wanted something classic, to be the desi bride in red, but I also wanted to look like "me" and not a white washed version of me. Abhilasha balanced the perfect mix of keeping my skin tone true, the contouring to a minimum, and lots of glitter on the lids so I just looked like the most elegant beautiful version of me that's existed so far. My mom said her friends told her, "we didn't know your daughter could be so beautiful." I can not recommend her enough for her speed, focus, ability to listen, and deal with intrusive camera crews. Thanks Abhilasha, for making me the dulhan of my dreams. Truly your magic was the ingredient that made our days extra special. read more

Abhilasha did an amazing job with my wedding hair & makeup! I was so happy with it! She worked with me months in advance to build a skin care routine. I knew my wedding outfits but I was unsure about what exactly I want to do with my looks and she was happy to help out with recommendations and ideas. She was always super patient with my questions and requests! Abhilasha also did my mom's hair and makeup and made sure she felt absolutely comfortable with it. She was super easy to work with and I felt very relaxed before my events, would absolutely recommend her to other brides and look forward to working with her for other events! read more

I'm so glad I found Abhilasha to do my bridal makeup. From the very first time we got in touch, she was super responsive and very informative. We had an initial consultation where we discussed about my beauty regimen, problem areas, my vision for makeup and hair. She then gave me lot of recommendations on skin and hair care. Till date I use her recommendations and I see such a huge difference. With respect to the wedding day makeup and hair- she surpassed all my expectations. She made me feel so pretty and I can't stop gushing every time I see the wedding photos. I got so many compliments for the makeup and hair. Abhilasha is a true professional and she pays a lot of attention to detail and makes sure you have the perfect look for your important day. She also did the pleats for my saree and that turned out great too. When you hire Abhilasha for your wedding makeup you are not just getting an expert makeup artist, you are also getting a very knowledgeable beauty guru. It was an absolute pleasure to have her on my wedding team. read more

Abhilasha is awesome! She and her team did my makeup for my pre-wedding events and my wedding. They worked with me to get all my looks exactly like I wanted. The makeup and hairstyles were flawless and survived for several hours. For my wedding Abhilasha helped me achieve the exact simple, natural and traditional Maharashtrian look that I wanted. Also we started skincare 2 months before the wedding and I still swear by all the products and masks she recommended. Highly recommend Abhilasha and her team if you are looking for professional, experienced and talented makeup artists. read more

Abhilasha is absolutely amazing, not only an incredible makeup artist but also such a sweetheart! I've never actually gotten my makeup done professionally- but it was my wedding so I had to look my best of course and I'm so very happy I found Abhilasha! My wedding took place during Covid times and literally everything was up in the air (didn't find a venue until 3 weeks before my wedding date), but Abhilasha was super understanding, flexible in terms of whichever Bay Area city I chose as a venue (I had 3 possibilities), and most importantly very knowledgeable about skincare, makeup, and hair care tips. She's not only a great makeup artist but also does amazing hairstyles, I'm pretty sure my South Indian braid extension was the biggest one she's done, but it looked gorgeous! Also, people kept commenting on how well my silk saree was draped (yes, she made me look skinny in a South silk saree!) - all thanks to Abhilasha! Her services not only included professional makeup, but she also provided me with a customized skincare routine that I still swear by! I'm a bit of a picky soul so she literally had to concoct the perfect lipstick shade to match my wedding saree, which she worked on for days to come up with to satisfy the picky bride ;) She was very patient with me (our trial session took 3 hours because of me!), but she made sure I was happy with my final look. Again, I highly highly recommend Abhilasha, she's absolutely a dream makeup/hair artist you'd want in your corner for your big day! Thank you for everything you did for me, Abhilasha! read more
