    Excellent!! Best makeup / hair experience my nine bridesmaids and I ever had!

    Shilpa was FANTASTIC.

    She knows what works (and lasts all day) on a range of skin complexions (light to dark) and hair textures (thin to thick). My nine bridesmaids and I could not look more different, but she and her team worked their magic on us all. We received so many compliments on our looks.

    Shilpa has great energy and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her!

    Best Choice EVER

    I've had the pleasure of seeing Shilpa's work over the past 3 years - she did my cousin's makeup for her wedding 3 years ago, which led to a friendship between me and Shilpa . Having her do my bridal makeup was a no-brainer. She created the absolute perfect looks for me. She didn't push a particular look on me, and she listened to what I wanted. Knowing her as a friend allowed me to trust her and let her work her magic. I can't wait for another opportunity to work with her. Her team also did my bridesmaids' makeup for the ceremony, and everyone loved their looks. We couldn't have picked a better hair and makeup team

    I don't even know where to begin with Shilpa. Shilpa is one of the sweetest people I have ever met! I am not a regular make up wearer and I was so nervous about having to wear so much make up for my wedding. After my first 5 minutes with Shilpa, I knew I couldn't have anyone else do my hair and makeup for my wedding. She was so understanding and really listened to all of my asks. Shilpa made me look and feel amazing! She is so easy to work with and with all of the craziness of an Indian wedding she made me feel at ease the entire time. Not only is she amazing, but the team she brings with her is also the best in the business. As a team they helped make my wedding the wedding of my dreams!

    I already knew I was going to use Shilpa Bc of
    The amazing job she did for my sister’s wedding. Working with her was so easy and it was so nice to not have to stress about how my hair and makeup was going to look. She worked with the kinds of looks I wanted and they turned out exactly how I envisioned. I’ve never felt as pretty and glamorous as I did during the wedding weekend and it made me feel so confident and happy. I would recommend her to any bride to be without hesitation. You’ll be so happy you hired her!!!

    I booked Shilpa after seeing her work on Instagram. I liked that she had talent ranging from very natural looks, to full glam. I definitely prefer natural looks and appreciated that as I think it's harder to find these days!

    I live out of town, so my first trial with her was after I had booked her. I ended up doing a totally different look for hair and makeup compared to my trial. After playing around with a heavier smoky eye look during the trial, I realized I wanted a spring-ier, fresher look for my daytime outdoor wedding. I appreciated Shilpa's input along the way as I asked her what she recommended. I also appreciated her day-of suggestions that she provided if I asked. She was never pushy in the slightest, and just super easygoing.

    For the Mehndi, I didn't really have any guidance for her other than that I wanted a natural look with a pop of glam to differentiate it from the more classic look I had in mind for the wedding. She just kind of did her thing, and I looved it. I'm not usually one for colored liner (cobalt blue in the waterline) AND glitter, but she made it work and it really was perfect with my Mehndi outfit. And it was totally different from the next day.

    For the ceremony/reception (same look), she based the look off of photos I had, and it went really smoothly. I got a lot of compliments on the dupatta pinning she did, too. My look was great and lasted from around noon to after 2am when our after-party ended! And I was able to let down my up-do for the after party and had curls.

    Shilpa and her team were on time both days, and I loved her sweet, upbeat personality. She was pretty much the first person I saw each day (vendor-wise) so it was a great way to start the day.

    I felt so beautiful both days and was so happy with my looks!

    All in one

    Shilpa is an exceptionally amazing hair and make up artist. I was glad to reserve her for my wedding and other events. I had 5 events done by her and each one was different from each other. She made me feel special and worked with any situation provided. She accentuated all my facial features and also added awesome fullness to my hair by putting in hair extensions!! She is one of those people who will take care of you and have your back. For instance, I left my scarf at the house which was needed for the wedding, and she remembered where it was in my room and actually retrieved it for me with my cousin all while I was at the venue prepared to walk down the aisle in 45 min !!! She was life saver to say the least! Shilpa was always calm and focused. A great characteristic about her was punctuality and her strive for perfection. She’d come atleast 15-20 min early and get started even if it’s at 2 am! If you are looking to her hire as a HMU, I would recommend it for yourself. Her priority is her bride and she allocates her time toward the main client. I would recommend outsourcing another HMU for the rest of your immediate family in order to avoid any delays. I wish I had Shilpa close by to see her more often and to get my HMU done !!!

    Where do I start! Having my wedding hair and makeup done by Shilpa was an absolute dream come true. I had known about her work for years and when it finally came time to take my pick, I knew I definitely needed Shilpa by my side! She’s professional, timely, warm-hearted, friendly and so so patient. Shilpa also quickly understood my vision for each event and made me feel like a queen and look my absolute best for all 4 events. She is also very flexible and caters to each brides wishes, just perfectly; I had most of my bridal party split outside of my home and Shilpa and her team showed no issue in accommodating these needs. Overall, everything went just as planned and I was one time for all events! My experience with Shilpa didn’t end there, I loved my looks so much for my own events that, my mom and I also booked her for my brothers events, a few short weeks later!

    I have literally been fangirling over Shilpa and her work for a few years now and knew a long time ago that she was the one I wanted to have when I become a bride! Shilpa made me feel like I was the most beautiful I could possibly be for every single one of my events! I left every look up to her on how she wanted her art and creativity to look on me. I completely trusted her and every look blew me away with how beautiful and different they were from one another. Shilpa and her team were so patient and accommodating to all of the crazy madness that was going on during this weekend! I highly recommend Shilpa! She is so understanding, easy-going, calm, sweet, fun, accommodating, so much more; what more could you ask for on your big day?! I will be raving about her and her work for a long time to come!

    Couple of years ago, I had seen the kind of work Shilpa did and immediately became obsessed and fell in love with her work. I told myself that the day I got married, I WILL be using her. Soon enough, never thought that time would have came but it did. I was super excited to work with her and gave her the freedom to do whatever she wanted with my makeup looks, but also gave her ideas of inspiration on my hair looks. The whole weekend of my wedding, she made me feel so beautiful like a princess and I loved all the looks she created with me. Everyone complimented me and said that I looked like a goddess and a princess, and it felt AMAZING. Not only that, but her team also did a beautiful job with hair and makeup looks with my mother and bridesmaids. Shilpa and her team accomplished exactly what I had asked for, but even better. Shilpa, I can not thank you enough for giving us your quality of work and professionalism to create such beautiful looks, but also for being so friendly and kind during the whole process. I would recommend Shilpa to everyone and anyone, because she is honestly the BEST.

    Shilpa is amazing!!! I highly recommend using her for any event. I used her for two different looks for my wedding and she did an incredible job. My sister also got her hair and makeup done by Shilpa and had nothing but great things to say about her. She listens to exactly what you want and delivers it. She also has great suggestions and gives advice when needed. Shilpa is super sweet and was very easy to work with. She even traveled out of state for my wedding and is super flexible and accommodating. Will definitely be using her again in the future for other events!!

    Shilpa is a true and fantastic professional makeup and hair artist. Her work is breath taking and her ability to perform any type of makeup and hair style you want is truly amazing. She has done my hair and makeup on several occasions and each time she listened carefully to what I wanted, whether it be simple/clean to glam/fabulous. Every time people have seen me with my hair and makeup done, I receive tons of compliments and praise on her work. She is so sweet and talented and I highly recommend booking her for your special events. She is super responsive to all questions and really cares about her clients and making their special day the best ever.

    Where do I start?! My experience with Shilpa was top notch and all of my bridesmaids and both my mom and my now mother-in-law raved about the service as well. Let's start from the beginning where my mom and I both got our makeup trial done. Shilpa was not only accommodating on the time but she also listened to what we wanted. Additionally, she tried two different hairstyles on my mom, which was very much appreciated. There was a slight miscommunication in regards to airbrush, but Shilpa was super accommodating and said not to worry and ensured all bridesmaids who requested airbrush would receive it! How awesome is that?! On the day of the wedding, Shilpa and her staff arrived on time and were ready to go! All of the ladies listened to what everyone wanted and they also had fun and made great conversation while doing it. As for me, my experience was perfect and, let me tell you, I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt. Shilpa took her time, ensured my makeup was flawless and my hair was top notch--she also assisted with putting my veil in, which was super nice! Overall, I would highly recommend booking Shilpa. She and her team have great customer and truly care about you.

    I found Shilpa on instagram as I searched for a good makeup artist. I loved all of her photos and new she was talented, so I reached out to her. I ended up having her do my makeup for my engagement photos and loved it so much I booked her to do my mom and I's makeup on my wedding day! Shilpa is extremely talented and made sure to really understand the look I wanted. Her and her team are so professional and reliable. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to have their makeup done for their big day or any special occasion!

    After trying two other makeup artists for my wedding day, I found Shilpa and never looked back! I had the pleasure of getting my makeup done from her 3 times and each time she did it better than I envisioned. Not only is she professional and talented, she was so sweet and a blast to hang out with while my bridal party and I got ready!! Thank you so much Shilpa!

    I booked Shilpa to do my bridal make-up and it was perfect. I absolutely love her work! She's also extremely efficient. Besides her being great at what she does, Shilpa is so sweet and was great to chat with while I was in the make-up chair :)

    Such a great experience! Shilpa is so friendly and easy to work with. The trial was good because we discussed many different options for what I wanted for my big day. The day of my wedding I loooked exactly how I wanted to! She focused only on me and made my special day even more special! I would recommend Shilpa for anybody who wants to look and feel great!
