Excellent. If you want to look good and natural contact her :) :)

Abby and her team are amazing! My wedding was in SanJose and i was so tensed to get a south indian look . I checked her website and because of her reviews I approached her .I think that was the best thing i did.From the beginning, everything was very easy. I loved her work during the trial. She is really good at what she does . All my friends and relatives loved her work(hair and makeup ) during my wedding. I had to change 4 sarees during my wedding and she did it with ease . It is so easy to work with her. Phone calls and messages were returned promptly and she really took her time to listen to what I wanted. I loved her work during all the ceremonies(trial, pre engagement, mehendi, wedding and reception). Each had a different touch to it. If you are looking for something natural please approach her and I am sure you will not be disappointed :) :).

There is not a makeup artist like this in the whole world

I have never met someone so professional, so amazing at her job, so thorough and mindblowingly good at what she does! She made me look like a princess on my big day. Aby uses the highest and the most expensive makeup brands I was wowed by that. She arrived on time, was very professional and a dream to work with! Before the big day I shared some pinterest images with her for the kind of look I wanted. She gave me a look that was a 1000 times better than the pinterest looks I selected. I was blown away, so was my husband and all the guests - they loved my makeup. I was happy all day feeling beautiful. Out in the sun all day and after 12 hours my makeup was still intact and still made me look fresh, not a smudge, no trace of oiliness. The products she used were so high quality. She made my day perfect!

Friendly and flexible

I got to work with Pratixa from Abilasha's team for my engagement. I needed her to come at 3 am because I needed to be ready by 5 30 am ( crazy, I know!). We were sharing our woes about losing sleep over text and she arrived promptly at 3. She understood exactly what I wanted and was very adept with her skills. She primed my face pretty well and did a perfect natural look for me. We ended having not much time for the hair but that wasn't her fault. She suggested to come at 2 30 am but I only pushed it to 3. I loved my make up although I wish I gave that extra half hour for my hair. I would totally recommend her. She is very friendly and amazing!

Amazing makeup artists

Absolutely loved all my make up looks for my wedding and Sangeet event. We booked Aby’s team in less than a month for my wedding. Aby was helpful in accommodating make up artists and also Henna artist for my South Indian wedding and Sangeet events. Her team was very accommodating with our last min requests too. Everyone loved my wedding makeup. My photos turned out amazing. Happy that I went ahead with Aby and Aby’s team. Thanks a lot. I would highly recommend her.

Highly professional, catering to one's specific needs and really caring!

I got to work with Abhilasha's team members Hema and Mariah on my wedding day for hair and makeup. Ours was a South Indian wedding and Aby and her team answered all of my questions prepping up to the wedding day via WhatsApp. On the day of the event, Hema and Mariah arrived on time, patiently catered to all of my requests and small changes as we went through the preparation and I felt completely pampered and well taken care of. The outcome turned out to be excellent, just as I wanted. Needless to say, I received a lot of compliments on my wedding day look from friends and family who attended the wedding or got to see the photos. Overall, I would highly recommend Aby and her team for your special day!

Amazing Team

Aby and her team was amazing to work with. Although Aby was not available to do makeup and hair for my events, she introduced me to a makeup artist and hair stylist from her team, Mariah.

My MIL and I had chosen Aby for my Anand Karaj and Indian Reception looks. I'm Chinese, so initially, I was afraid my make up would be too heavy and dramatic. However, during our trial, Aby and Mariah worked with me to make sure I was completely satisfied with my makeup and hair. I ended up loving my looks even more on the actual events! I received so many compliments!

Mariah also helped me pinned my dresses and dupatta. As we had to get ready so early, having to figure out how to pin everything myself would have been so stressful. Mariah was amazing and everything stayed where it should all day/night. Thanks Aby and team for making me look flawless.

Abhilasha is AMAZING!!

I got married earlier this year and booked Abhilasha and her team for my wedding events. Working with Abhilasha was breeze since day 1. I started looking for makeup artists a bit late but luckily she was available on my wedding day. Soon after, I had my makeup trial and we were able to connect right away. She listened to exactly what I wanted and made sure I was completely comfortable with all the make up looks. She envisions what looks good for the bride and creates that look while making sure the bride is comfortable with everything she is doing. I trusted her with everything, and I can say she never failed to deliver.
Because I was a bit late, she gave me a regimen to follow right away to make my skin glow and I have to say, my skin was ABSOLUTELY glowing! She is so caring and lovely that working with her never failed to put a smile on my face. I was one of those brides who decided to do everything by myself and I have to say I was pretty stressed. No matter what was going on she made me feel relaxed and made sure I was taking a moment to enjoy being a bride. She followed up constantly to see if she could help me with anything. She was more of a friend than a vendor I was working with and I loved working with her.
My sisters got their makeup done with her team while she was completely focused on me. Abhilasha and her team are extremely professional and always on time. Her team made sure that my sisters were completely comfortable with their looks and took extra time to make changes to the hair and makeup if they weren’t completely happy. All of us looked amazing and its all thanks to Abhilasha and her team! I would highly recommend her and her team to any future bride!!

Aby is a Makeup Goddess!

To all the ladies out there who are on the verge of deciding whether or not to hire Aby, let me ask you one question.. ‘WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR ?!?!’ Am pretty sure you’ve seen her work online and are in love with it already. You know you want to hire her, so why waste time by second guessing yourself?

I got married in February of this year and Aby did my hair and makeup. And can I just say, she did a phenomenal job. She worked with me from day 1 to perfectly curate the two looks for my ceremony and reception that I felt comfortable with. For the morning ceremony, we went with a subtle look with glowy skin and simple bun for hair-do whereas for the evening reception, we still went with glowy skin BUT with grey smoky eyes and wavy hair. I loved both the looks! And the best part, I didn’t have to touch up my makeup at all, other than just blotting some oil from my face.

And ladies, get this-- she will work with you as early as 3 months prior to the occasion date to make sure your hair and skin is at its ultimate best on the day of. Based on the skin/hair type you have, she will recommend home remedies, diet changes and/or natural products to get to that beauty goal. She will ACTUALLY listen to what you have to say and bring your makeup/hair vision to life. She will take her time to make you look perfect for your big day/occasion.

I personally believe that makeup is to accentuate features you already have. The purpose of makeup products was never meant to make you look like a completely different person. And Aby believes in that!! She will do her magic on you, but YOU will still look like YOU. You will look glamorous after she is done, but you will still recognize yourself in the mirror, which for me was a big deal .

I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone who is seeking a makeup/hair artist. I am a happy customer, and will work with her every chance I get.

The experience was amazing!!

My experience with Abhilasha on my wedding day was absolutely amazing!! This is the first time in my life I'm writing a review for anything but felt compelled to write something. I was very very hesitant about getting my makeup done as I don't like to wear alot of makeup. Abhilasha had that covered- she was extremely receptive to what I felt comfortable wearing and did not push me in any direction. I loved the way my makeup looked on my wedding day and this is coming from someone who doesn't like to wear makeup. Because I trusted her I ended up wearing more than I ever have and it looked great! Mostly I felt completely like myself, which I felt she captured with an art. She did a great job with my hair as well.

There is something about Abhilasha that is so easy going yet so caring. I felt throughout the process as if I had a family member in my corner. I only had to make the decision to work with her and she so kindly took care of the rest. Abhilasha is truly gifted at what she does and she can make however faint a vision you make have of yourself on your wedding day a reality because she has a unique eye for hair and makeup.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
