Amazing Artist

Harsha is amazing to work with! She was so collaborative during the makeup trial, making sure I was happy with the look and making adjustments accordingly. During my wedding, she made me look so flawless and natural, I did not have to worry at all about my makeup. She brings a calm presence which is much appreciated and nailed all the looks. I am super particular about my lipstick not being too bright, and she nailed the natural but better look. Thank you Harsha for being so great to work with and making me feel incredible!

Pick Harshalani!

Pick Harshalani! The Harshalani team was absolutely wonderful! As an LGBTQ+ person, the Harshalani team was incredibly inclusive of my wife and I for our wedding and did not treat us any differently nor ask any inappropriate same-sex wedding comments.
They made getting ready for my wedding day a breeze. The hair and makeup artists listened to my needs and were decisive in their decisions for hair and makeup. The Harshalani team were fun and pumped everyone up for the wedding , which is an added bonus😊 Everyone’s makeup lasted all day and looked excellent in wedding photos! Harshalani was timely, professional, and employees highly talented makeup artist and hair stylist!

Best beauty team out there!

Harsha and her team are THE BEST beauty team out there! Harsha is professional, kind, friendly, and INCREDIBLE at what she does! She was always very communicative throughout the process of me getting trial beauty makeup and hair done for engagement photos and bridal photos, and then to scheduling hair and makeup for my close family/bridal party. Everything turned out great-my friends and family loved her and her team that came to help the day of the wedding, and everyone looked FLAWLESS! My makeup was the perfect "daytime-glam-natural" look I wanted and stayed on ALL night despite a lot of *happy* tears and sweating from the dance floor. My hair also stayed perfect all night despite all of the movement. I never felt "caked on" with makeup or anything either-Harsha is truly a miracle worker! If you are reading this review considering booking her and her team...this is your sign to do it!! :)

15/10 Recommend Harshalani

I cannot thank Harsha and her team enough for hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids! From the start, Harsha was sweet, responsive and completely wonderful. From the bridal preview to day-of hair and makeup, I was blown away with how amazing Harsha made me look and how wonderful her team was as well! She was prompt (and even ahead of schedule) and even wasn’t thrown off when I decided to do different hair than what we had talked about. She was a dream to work with and I will recommend her to everyone I know!

Highly recommend: Harsha combines hair/makeup with South Asian-American cultural acumen

Three words: Harsha is amazing! She did 1.) a bridal preview session, 2.) hair and makeup for me on my wedding day, and 3.) hair and makeup for me, my mom and my sister on the day of my reception party. From start to finish across the three days of services, she was professional, punctual, collaborative, considerate, and efficient. She took the tentative ideas I had for each look and helped elevate them to reality. Her makeup work was immaculate: it looked fantastic in real life and the photos, and stayed comfortably in place the whole time. She encouraged us to have fun with eyelashes, color and sparkle and other festive additions that I'd never tried before, and even tastefully arranged our jewelry and dupattas at the end. I was wearing a sari one day and a lehenga the other, and just felt so fortunate to have found someone who relates to and can execute both Indian and American tastes and looks. As she worked, she spoke to me the whole time with the deepest compassion and kindness, and thoughtfully uplifted my confidence and self-esteem ahead of these big events. I felt such a lovely, trusting connection with Harsha. She does beautiful work, grounded in practicality and humanity, and I highly recommend her!

Wonderful Experience!

I can't say enough great things about Harsha. She is so talented and really is an artist. Harsha did my makeup and hair for my bridal photoshoot, indian wedding and american wedding. She was so responsive and easy to work with. Harsha was professional and so much fun to be around through the process of 3 events. I loved working with her and feel so lucky I found her from a friend who also had a great experience. You won't be disappointed if you choose Harshalani Makeup and Hair! And wow, it was so great having someone who can do Indian and American makeup and hair flawlessly.

Talented, kind, responsive, easy to get along with

Harsha did my bridal hair and makeup and was wonderful! I do not wear much makeup day to day, so I was in a totally new world. I didn’t have a strong vision of what I wanted, but I was able to send Harsha some photos of things I liked and she took it from that! I really appreciated how Harsha addressed my worries and worked her magic! I was so happy with my look!

Michael & Courtney Garza wedding

Harsha did such an amazing and beautiful job on my bridal hair and makeup for my wedding day! She came to our venue Inspiring Oaks Ranch in Wimberley and brought along her assistant Averie to help with my stepdaughter Heaven, and flower girl niece Taryn. She was very professional as well as punctual, also very patient with us after our wedding was moved from April 2020 to October 2020 due to COVID. She stayed in direct communication during that time through email. Even though I was under pressure while scrambling to put everything on hold along with trying to pick a new date in the future all at the same time! I am very grateful to o have come across Harsha and her hair and makeup services and also thankful that she was able to keep the new date in her schedule. If I am ever in the Austin area for a long enough period, I will plan to schedule service with her again!

Friendly | Talented | Professional

I worked with Harsha on a styled shoot recently. Our original makeup artist fell through and Harsha was given just a few days notice. She was extremely prepared and did a phenomenal job!! I am so thankful she was able to be a part of our project as it wouldn't have been the same without her magical touch! She is professional, friendly and extremely talented! I will 100% be recommending her to brides and all future clients.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
