My experience with Arfana was one I’ll cherish forever. I’ve had subpar experiences with hair and makeup artists in the past, but Arfana was nothing short of amazing. She genuinely cares about her brides and had multiple check-ins with me leading up to my wedding week to ensure we were aligned on my vision.
Once I shared my vision board for each event, Arfana took the time to discuss every look in detail and even provided tips on how to prep my skin and hair beforehand. She’s not only incredibly sweet but also a talented artist. Arfana exceeded my expectations for each event and delivered a one of a kind luxury experience.
She sanitized all her tools daily, came prepared with products to keep my skin hydrated, arrived on time for all three events, and nailed all my hair and makeup looks from my vision board! She never rushed and perfected every little detail. I received countless compliments, especially on my Sangeet day, when people said my makeup looked airbrushed even though it wasn’t!
I didn’t have time for a trial due to my work schedule, yet Arfana still did an incredible job. I honestly can’t pick a favorite look because I loved them all for my Sangeet, Wedding, and Reception, and Arfana made me look and feel my absolute best and so beautiful. I remember telling her “This is the best hair and makeup I’ve ever had in my life.” Beyond her artistry, Arfana made the entire experience enjoyable with her kindness, humor, passion and professionalism.
I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for a bridal hair and makeup artist, hire Arfana because you will not be disappointed! -

Suma Sent on 11/19/2025The best bridal hair, makeup, and draping artist!
Arfana did an incredible job of bringing my bridal vision to life! I remember coming across her Instagram page in my searches and immediately seeing that her portfolio included everything from hair to makeup to draping. A full, cohesive bridal experience. Not only did her portfolio include everything, everything was perfectly executed in the pictures that I saw. The quality of the makeup application was on another level, she could clearly do a variety of hairstyles flawlessly, and her draping skills were ON POINT. As a South Indian who was going to be wearing two kanchipuram sarees for my wedding (with a 20 min quick-change in between), draping was super important to me. It’s rare to find an artist that can do it all and do it all well, and it makes things so much easier and more cohesive when the full look can be brought to life by the same person. I did my due diligence of reaching out to various hair and makeup artists in the area, but Arfana was in the back of my mind through it all and I knew I would be really disappointed if I missed out on the opportunity to work with her. Booking her for my wedding was one of the first and best decisions I made in the planning process.
From the beginning, Arfana was extremely responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with. She took the time to not only understand my vision, but to really know what my natural skin and hair is like so that she could create the best possible looks for me. She gave me hair and skincare recommendations that I still use now after the wedding. She got me to try some new things with makeup but still kept it very true to who I am. She went above and beyond in always making me feel like a priority - giving me snacks when I went in for my bridal trial, buying me the comfiest pajama set to get ready in on wedding day, pre-pleating and ironing my sarees with care to make sure they were perfect, and just being a calming presence throughout. On top of all of that, she knocked it out of the park with all of my looks (varapooja/mehendi, wedding, and reception). I had quick-changes at both my pre-wedding event and my wedding and Arfana was so precise and so perfect with all of it. I received so many compliments and felt the most beautiful that I have ever felt. I’m SO happy that I went with Arfana for my big day and can't recommend her enough! -

Arfana was truly the best MUPA I could have asked for. She helped me develop and perfect all my looks. I did 5 looks with her for my Indian wedding and they all were FANTASTIC. Her insane attention to detail and timeliness was so appreciated. She made me feel so beautiful and confident in my skin. I even had to do a quick change during the baarat and she was so helpful to make sure it all went smoothly. Working with her was like working with an old friend who had your back at all times. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a bridal MUPA - you will not be disappointed!! -

Anwesha Sent on 06/09/2025Highly recommend for your big day
I had the absolute pleasure of having Arfana as my makeup artist for my wedding day. From the moment we connected, she was warm, professional, and attentive to my vision. Not only is she incredibly talented, but her knowledge of the diverse South Asian cultural traditions really sets her apart. On the day of the wedding, she made sure my makeup looked flawless and glowing. She was attentive to every little detail and truly went the extra mile for me, she was such a quiet force behind the scenes who made everything smoother. Even her team of bridal party hairstylist and makeup artist was amazing. My family couldn’t stop raving about their talent and professionalism. Highly recommend Arfana for your big day!! -

Shailee Sent on 05/05/2025Wonderful experience with Arfana!
I had the pleasure of working with Arfana for 3 of my wedding events (Sangeet, Wedding, Reception) and cannot give her enough praise and recognition for her outstanding level of artistry, professionalism and kindness. She was an absolute joy to work with and I’m so happy I chose her to be my HMUA for my wedding. She is extremely timely, organized, reliable, encouraging, and knowledgeable and she provided the exact level of support, comfort and expertise I needed. She works with you to achieve the look you want and is very receptive to feedback, which creates a very positive environment for a bride with a lot of things on her mind! I was also so appreciative of the talented team she put together to provide hair and makeup services for my family (mom and sisters). They were all very happy with their looks and had very positive experiences as well. I can’t recommend Arfana enough for brides that are in search of a true professional in this industry! -

Arfana was absolutely incredible to work with, and she executed my bridal looks to perfection. From the very start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about her clients. She took the time to understand my bridal vision, reviewed my skincare routine, and offered thoughtful recommendations to prepare my skin leading up to the wedding. During my hair and makeup trial, Arfana listened to my input and provided her professional advice, making sure we were aligned on every detail.
She was meticulous with timing, ensuring that we had plenty of time for each look, which kept me on track for all of my events. Arfana made sure I was comfortable during the entire hair and makeup process, creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere as we got ready. I also appreciated how she kept her supplies clean and prepared before starting each session.
I received countless compliments from my guests on her work, and she truly made me look like an elevated version of myself, which was exactly what I wanted. I couldn’t be happier with the results, and I’m so grateful to Arfana for making me feel beautiful on my special day. -

Working with Arfana was amazing! She is incredibly professional, detail oriented and responds promptly. As someone who wears minimal makeup on a daily basis, not to mention rarely gets their makeup professionally done, I really wanted to make sure my bridal makeup was done in a way where I still felt like myself. Arfana listened to all my needs and her top priority was making sure I was comfortable with all my looks. I was really happy with how all 3 of my looks turned out - I felt like an elevated version of myself all thanks to Arfana! Would highly recommend her to be your bridal artist! -

Vishruti Sent on 08/21/2024One of THE best!
I could not have picked a better person to than Arfana to be my MUA for my wedding weekend. She was incredibly professional, organized, calm and patient. She listened to my likes and dislikes for all of my looks during my wedding weekend, especially for not having done a trial with her. Arfana is very detail oriented and thorough in her process from the moment you reach out to her to the very end. She made me feel comfortable from the moment I met her and made me look and feel like myself the whole weekend. I highly recommend booking Arfana for your big weekend, you will not be disappointed! -

Arfana was so wonderful to work with - professional, organized, and listens to you while also giving her recommendations based on what you like. I was able to do a makeup trial and before that, I filled out a questionnaire of my daily skin and hair routine, what looks/styles I'm going for, and what my outfits are so we can prep for the trial and big day. When we approached wedding weekend, we had some mishaps with the venue but since I had to go get ready, it was Arfana who brought her calming aurora to help relax me and assure me that it's going to be all right (and she was right!) Arfana also delivered - I wanted a natural and simple makeup look and that's what I got and she also followed the hair inspo pics I provided her with. I highly, highly recommend her and promise you won't be disappointed! She will make you feel and look like yourself :) -

Talented and professional, Arfana is the best!!
Arfana made me the most beautiful bride!!! She made me feel like myself, which was very important for me. She listened to my likes and dislikes and what I wanted. At the same time, she offered her suggestions & thoughts based on her expertise in the makeup/hair industry! I had broken my nose a month before my wedding, ended up with a scar and black eye on my wedding day. But, Arfana covered it all up with her talent & without making me look cakey. She did a soft, natural, elevated glam for me, which was absolute perfection!!! I felt like the most beautiful person, which is what every bride should feel on their wedding day!
Arfana also did my hair! I can’t be more happy with how my hair turned out. She was so patient and took her time to perfect both hair and makeup! She was professional, respectful, and timely. Thank you, Arfana for everything!! -

Payal Sent on 11/15/2023Natural, elevated look!
Arfana is an excellent make up artist. For each event, I felt like I looked like an elevated version of myself, which was very important to me. I did not want to be overdone, and Arfana took time to understand my vision and executed though we didnt have a trial. She is thorough, organized and professional!
Before the actual day, Arfana collected photos in different categories, took time to understand my preferences, my vision and my comfort. It was more than I expected.
At the actual event, she executed an incredible look for each of my events, and I received so many compliments on how beautiful I looked, and that I looked life myself (which doesn't always happen with wedding makeup)! She also took time to teach me about my ways I can enhance certain features in my day to day. I truly enjoyed my experience with Arfana, and would highly recommend her. -

Arfana is the best HMUA around!
1000000/10 would recommend Arfana for any and all of your wedding event hair, makeup, and draping. She is incredibly clear, concise, and thorough.
Early in the process, she will take the time to thoroughly understand your vision, outfits, jewelry, draping, and whole look. She will make non-pushy recommendations on what she thinks would look great, but ultimately will always go with what you want. She will go through your skin care routine to make personalized adjustments if needed.
For the bridal hair and makeup trial, she works out all kinks so that the actual day of runs incredibly smoothly. She has a hilarious personality and will keep stress out of the situation and make sure you’re laughing the entire time.
A month before my wedding, I got my blouses back from the designers I ordered them from, and three of them were much shorter than I expected. I emailed Arfana to update her. Instead of her just saying okay to my haphazard solutions to cover it up, she comes to my house a week later (an hour away from her) and carefully figured out a drape that would not only look great with each of the outfits, but addressed all issues that I had with the blouses.
Of note, the weather at my wedding was not ideal and was extremely humid with rain. Arfana did not let me give up on the look that we had planned all year just because of the weather. Instead, she came to my wedding venue hours after finishing my hair and makeup in the morning to fix me up before walking down the aisle.
Her team of hair and makeup artists for the bridal party did an incredible job on my family. My family had very specific requests that they handled with grace. Their looks looked amazing in person and in photos!
Arfana is the type of person who will sit and have lunch with your parents or do a hair and makeup look for you on her own wedding anniversary. I have now worked with Arfana for a bridal trial and 5 separate hair and makeup looks on top of that. Each look was different, natural, and exactly what I wanted.
Book her for your events. I would do it time and time again! -

Radhika Sent on 07/18/2023Arfana is the BEST!!!!
I am so glad that I booked Arfana as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding weekend. Working with her was an absolute DREAM! From our very first phone call, to our trial several months later, to her help and tips as we got closer to the wedding and finally during the actual weekend, she was so helpful, easy to work with, and truly a master at her art. I had an allergic reaction on my face 2 months before the wedding and Arfana was extremely kind and helpful during that stressful experience. I got so many compliments on all my looks at my wedding and she truly killed them all. Best part is she is so easy to talk to and has a truly calming presence that every bride needs during such a hectic time. I would 10/10 recommend her for any bride!!!! -

Arfana is the best!!
Arfana was honestly such a valuable addition to my wedding weekend. From our very first call, she assured me that she was 100% dedicated to making sure my vision was executed and I was going to be relaxed and comfortable. I couldn't stop talking and laughing during our trial because we found so much in common and it was a great way to connect before the big day. She gave me great tips for skin care leading up to the wedding and prepared me with a very detailed checklist (which my type A personality was very grateful for!!). She was super flexible and patient during the wedding even though I could barely communicate because I lost my voice! I trusted her expert opinion on a lot of my looks and she absolutely killed my nauvari saree drape. I couldn't have asked for a better bridal artist, thank you Arfana!! -

Janet Sent on 12/26/2022One of the best decisions I made for my wedding
As a bride who knew little to nothing about makeup and rarely wears it, Arfana was exactly the hair and makeup artist I needed for my wedding. From the very beginning, she was thorough and detailed, and she asked a lot of questions to get to know me and create a very personalized bridal look. I absolutely fell in love with her work after my trial and booked her the same day. It was the first time in my life that I was 100% satisfied after getting my hair and makeup done. Moreover, she is exactly the type of company you need if you're stressed out at 4am on your wedding day, running on little to no sleep, and have to sit in a makeup chair for 3-4 hours. Arfana foresaw that I would be burnt out and turned my bridal suite into a safe, quiet space for me to get away from the chaos outside, let me squeeze in a power nap while she did my hair, and kept me laughing throughout the process. My main request to Arfana with my bridal look was to make me look as much like myself as possible, and she truly delivered a classy, timeless look. I've never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day, and I felt completely comfortable in my own skin. She was heaven-sent, and I look forward to having her as a hair and makeup artist again in the future. Thank you for making my wedding day so special, Arfana! -

Shivani Sent on 09/08/2022Stop your MUA search and book Arfana!
Arfana made a person insecure about her looks feel confident, beautiful, and most importantly HERSELF! I had the most amazing working relationship with Arfana where she listened to what I wanted and the vibes I was going for and executed FLAWLESSLY!
From my first phone call with Arfana, I knew she was the one! Prior to talking to Arfana, I had reached out to over 65 hair and makeup artists for my wedding. Arfana's demeanor, professionalism, and passion for her art is truly amazing and inspirational. I booked her within days of talking to her!
Throughout the wedding planning process, Arfana was very responsive and always willing to jump on a call and talk. She gave me the feedback and honesty I needed throughout the process.
After my makeup trial, the confidence that I had in Arfana grew 10 fold. It grew so much that i just sent her a picture of my reception outfit and said - HAVE FUN I trust you.
During my wedding week in the midst of all the chaos, Arfana's presence was very calming. I was ready EARLY for each event. Also Arfana had a little touch up kit ready for me just in case I needed to reapply any of my makeup (its truly the little things like this that matter).
Not only was I OBSESSED with every hair/makeup look, but ALL of my guests from kids to parents loved each look. The amount of texts and calls I received after my wedding about my hair and makeup was unreal.
Arfana is not only an AMAZING artist but also an AMAZING person! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone that is looking for hair and makeup! Like the title says - Stop your MUA search and book Arfana! -

Arfana was absolutely amazing my entire wedding weekend!

Arfana is an absolute dream to work with!!! Despite living out of state and being unable to do a makeup trial before booking, everything went flawlessly. Additionally, her team did my bridesmaids makeup and hair incredibly!! From the moment I booked her up until my wedding day- she has been extremely responsive and attentive. On top of all of that, she is a genuine, sweet and hardworking person. She truly wants to deliver the look that her bride envisions herself having. I can’t thank her enough for how beautiful she made me feel and look at both my wedding and reception!! She is passionate about the art she creates and she will never deliver anything short of brilliance and excellence- guaranteed. -

Sachi Sent on 01/12/2022Must have MUA for brides
Working with Arfana for my Sangeet and Bridal look leaves me with just one thought - I got super duper lucky! I wanted to go for a natural look for both my events and Arfana did an amazing job listening to my vision and adding subtle touches that made me shine when I needed to. I really appreciated her professionalism and care during my time with her. She is an absolute gem of a human being making sure I was well hydrated and fed during long hours of our make up sessions. On the wedding day, there were couple of times when I had to go back to her to fix my bridal look of because of minor accidents (like losing my bindi during first-look, getting my hair string pulled after a hug) and she was there to help me out, calming me down and making sure I wasn't panicking about my look. I would highly recommend Arfana to any bride looking for an MUA as it is hard to find someone who has a natural talent for what they do and truly cares about making brides feel extra special for their big events! So if you are able to book her, you are in luck! -

Professional, Compassionate, Talented Bridal Artist!!
Having Arfana as my hair, makeup, and draping stylist was one of the best decisions about my big day! She did an amazing job on all my bridal looks. I truly appreciate Arfana's meticulous attention to detail; not single pleat or hair curl was out of place and my winged liner was so sharp, it could kill. I have naturally curly hair and Arfana was not only okay with me wearing my hair curly, she was excited about it! She allowed me to feel like myself and that is something I will always cherish. Not to mention, she created the PERFECT curly bun for my ceremony. There were challenges on my wedding day and Arfana was able to adapt to meet them - 1. My hair required a little more TLC compared to our trial due to the rough hotel pillow cases which frizzed up curls; 2. My skin developed a (brief) rash due to an interaction of the jewelry and skin serum; 3. I was unsure whether to drape 2 dupattas or just 1, this was a game time decision and she was so understanding and assisted me in coming up with a plan so we could handle either. Everything ended up working out well and on time. Arfana remained calm the entire time.
Arfana also went above and beyond the duties of a traditional hair and makeup artist. Arfana was kind enough to advise me on jewelry for my ceremony outfit because I was conflicted. She also advised on skin care, providing a consultation months before the wedding so that a proper skin care routine could be established for healthy skin on the wedding day.
One of the things I appreciated most about Arfana was her professionalism. She responded to all emails within 24-48 hours. She is thorough in her planning and there was no confusion regarding my expectations from her and her expectations from me. I cannot emphasize how important this level of thoroughness and timeliness is when working with a vendor (we learned the hard way from some of our other vendors who did not share these characteristics!).
Throughout our interactions leading up to the wedding day, Arfana became a friend instead of just being my bridal stylist. I cherished having the opportunity to work with her and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, compassionate, and talented bridal stylist! -

Absolute BEST!!!
I would HIGHLY recommend Arfana as your bridal artist. After talking to her over the phone that first time, I knew I wanted her to be a part of my big day! When I reached out to her, I was going through a process of switching out my venues and she was super understanding of everything which made the situation a lot less stressful for me. She is super talented and gives you honest advice about everything from your skincare to things to look out for when you’re shopping for your dresses/jewelry to things to do and not to do before your wedding day/events and literally everything you can possibly imagine! You can tell after talking to her and working with her that she really loves her job and is very passionate about her work.
I didn't have any specific looks I wanted for my wedding events and all I told her was how I wanted to do something different than the usual and go out of my comfort zone from what I usually do at other weddings. She really delivered and KILLED all the looks for my 3 events. For someone who does not put on much makeup, she made sure I looked like my natural self but also made sure I had that bridal look. She made me feel absolutely AMAZING and I got so many compliments from everyone not only at the event but also from others who saw me on friends/families social media platforms. It was a pleasure working with her and I hope after reading this review, you feel the same way! THANK YOU ARFANA!!! -

Amita Sent on 11/30/2020Would highly recommend Arfana!!
I had the pleasure of working with Arfana Jasar for my wedding this year. Although we could not do an in-person trial, Arfana took the time out to meet with me virtually to understand my personality and vision for my big day. We instantly hit it off with our love retro timeless looks of actors from old movies and were on the same wavelength from the get-go! I was struggling to find a bindhi like the one I wanted in stores and Arfana took the trouble to look for it on her own! Arfana was extremely punctual and professional. She got me ready in time. She pre-pleated my saree beforehand and draped my saree to perfection! Arfana also brought my dream hairstyle to reality! I cannot recommend Arfana enough to other South Indian brides who are looking for a very talented makeup and hair artist who can pleat a saree so beautifully! She was such a pleasure to work with and I will never forget her! -

Janki Sent on 11/28/2020Perfection. Best MUA you'll ever find.
Arfana's talent is OUT of this world and the BEST wedding decision I made! I was searching through 15+ MUA's in the tri-state area with such specific wants and needs for my wedding & randomly came across Arfana via Instagram. I was overjoyed by our first conversation on the phone and felt so lucky to have found her. She the perfect mix of genuine excitement for my day, thirst for creativity, and unwavering confidence I needed to hear. I wanted someone who can do hair, makeup, and draping, but cant stress enough how amazing it was that she even provided the most gorgeous lashes & hair extensions if needed! It really takes away a lot of stress when you’re not in charge of finding your own extensions. Not only is she extremely talented and professional, but she is so personable and comforting. She has an incredible drive to make sure you get everything and anything you envision for your big day and will go above and beyond (understatement) to make everything PERFECT. I had a specific vision for the dupatta drape for my wedding ceremony which was complicated and required a lot more time & Arfana listened with open ears at my trial and not only made it happen, she accomplished it beyond my wildest imagination (please see pics if you haven’t already, I’m still OBSESSED). She made it unique to me & then meticulously hand stitched it all so it wouldn’t move the day of and made sure it was ready way before the wedding. She even took care of it for me like it was her child. I also wanted a THICK braid in my hair when I have the thinnest hair & she worked tirelessly aiming for the perfect braid and I cant explain how much I LOVED it. It really made my day. When most MUA’s told me a hairstyle is dependent on my hair’s texture, length, etc and whether my hair allows for it, Arfana had more of a “bring it on” perspective to any challenge. When it comes down to it, a bride’s dreams or visions aren’t obstacles for Arfana, they’re a reason to work harder and deliver satisfaction. Arfana will not disappoint. I also love that she not only has experience in South Asian hair and makeup, but in all different skin tones and hair textures. She is constantly advancing her skills and also does a lot of editorials and photoshoots. Arfie, I am so thankful for how you made me feel that morning and the time we spent, overall support during the entire wedding planning year, and to have found a lifelong friend through this process! Brides, I can’t recommended her enough, book her ASAP, and definitely feel free to reach out if you’re on the fence! -

Misha Sent on 11/01/2019Wonderful person to work with!
Arfana was the first makeup artist I spoke to and I knew right from the start that I wanted her there on my wedding day. First of all, she was the only artist out of all the ones we'd messaged who said she would be happy to work with my naturally curly hair, and being a curly girl herself she knew exactly what to do. In terms of makeup, I felt like she really listened to me. After the trial when I felt the initial look she gave me was too much, she toned it down and gave me the exact look I had dreamed about. It felt really nice to be heard when a lot of people in the wedding industry are just trying to sell you stuff you don't need. Finally, she was the MVP of the day when the zipper on my reception dress broke and she worked tirelessly to come up with a solution. What was also great is that she only works on the bride and doesn't force you to hire her team or have a minimum number of people who have to get hair and makeup with her. It made the whole process of working with her very easygoing, and she is super professional as well. She was happy and friendly the whole day of the wedding and I'm so happy I chose her to be my hair and makeup artist :) -

I had a great experience working with Arfana for my engagement hair and make up this past summer. She was very accommodating with all the mishaps that occurred on the day of my event and she was extremely easy to talk to. It was very obvious that she was very experienced and knew what she was doing. She created the perfect look for me and I received compliments from just about everyone that night. I am very happy to have worked with Arfana for my special day and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for hair and make up services! -

I had Arfana do my wedding makeup and I could not have had a better experience. She was so easy to talk to and so knowledgable in her craft that I left each session knowing more about taking care of my skin and finding the perfect makeup that suited me. She created the perfect looks that not only complimented my outfits, but my taste in makeup as well. Everyone was blown away by my hair and makeup and I have her to thank for that! -

She did it all for me - Pakistani, South Indian, Mehndi and Nikkah looks!
I am a Pakistani bride who married a South Indian man and so I needed someone who could help me attain both my Pakistani and South Indian wedding dreams! I either had to find someone who did it all or find separate makeup/hair artists for each day. That being said, I'm lucky I found Arfana on instagram and knew she could help me achieve all my looks! (nikkah, mehndi, south indian, and reception) and we spoke for months whenever I had ideas or wishes! I told her I didn't want so much makeup that I didn't look like myself, but wanted to experiment with different looks that would look timeless when I looked 50 years from now. She was so responsive to every text/email and was one of, if not the most, VALUABLE and creative vendor I had! She was professional and experienced and I knew how much I relied on reviews to book my vendors so figured this was a way to give back to those whose reviews helped me pick Arfana. My only suggestion in the wedding process is to know who you're working with, because since I had such a good experience with Arfana I thought the girls with her who did my bridal party would be great and they just didn't live up to Arfana's talent (and of course I know that my bridal party wouldn't be getting bridal treatment/makeup). That being said, Arfana was very reliable and a pleasure to work with. My whole family loved her approach and talent! book her! -

Bridal make up
I booked Arfana, after months of searching for a make up artist on instagram. From day one, she was very responsive, professional and patient with my needs. What I really liked about Arfana is that she listened to my needs and made sure I was comfortable with my looks for each events. She’s really good at keeping it minimal, which is what i like. I will be booking her for all my future events and would recommend her to all my friends and family. Thank you Arfana for making me look and feel beautiful and for providing such a wonderful service. -

I am so glad that I found Arfana through a google search! Before officially booking her for my Gaye holud and wedding day makeup, I had a trial session with her. I was really pleased with her attention to details, responsiveness, punctuality and not to mention, her hospitality. During the trial session at her house, she served me snacks and water :)
From the day I contacted her for a quote to the day she delivered my final makeup, she was always very helpful with any questions or concerns I had. I have never had any professional makeup done up until that point. So I sure had a lot of questions.
One thing I loved about her was how detail oriented she is. She listened to me very carefully to understand what kind of makeup look i wanted to go for. She sent me an email with a list of skincare routines leading upto my wedding weekend, which I found to be very helpful.
She arrived to my house on time on both days and was very patient, even when my house was full of guests and very chaotic :/
I loved how my makeup turned out for both days. It was very long lasting and I got a lot of compliments throughout the nights.
I’d definitely recommend Arfana to everyone, and would love to work with her in the future again! -

Count on Arfana !!!
Arfana knows her job very well. She will make you feel very comfortable and give a patient hearing of what type of look you want for your D-day. She does her homework religiously so it saves lot of time that day in discussing or experimenting what to do or not. Her makeup looks glamorous, elegant and not overdo. Loved her hairdo which is pretty innovative. I am sure no one will be disappointed on her big day. -

Sangeeta Sent on 02/19/2018Arfana is absolutely awesome and I would definitely recommend her. She did my hair and make up for my wedding reception day and helped me get ready. She kept me calm and did exactly what I wanted. I had told her I did not want heavy makeup and my hair to be down. She delivered the exact look I wanted. It is difficult to find people as genuine as she is. You won’t be disappointed. She is very reliable and her rates are very affordable. Looking forward to working with her again!

Meneka Sent on 02/18/2018Arfana was recommended to be my by a friend who had also used her for their wedding. She was extremely easy to work with, totally understood what I wanted and helped to create looks that fit my style. She is very detail oriented, and even came to my house a few days before the wedding to pre pin my outfit and make sure everything would be smooth on the day of!

I wanted to go with a paired-down and lived-in look for my wedding which is quite different from normal desi wedding looks and sedans really made it happen. I would totally recommend doing a trial with her so you both know what to expect. Really great experience and would recommend Arfana and her team. -

Aditi Sent on 09/03/2022Bridal Makeup for Aditi B. - May 2022 Wedding
Working with Arfana to create 3 unique bridal looks for my wedding in May 2022 was an amazing experience! From the beginning of our wedding-related conversations, Arfana was very professional and detailed in all of the instructions she gave me. We had a trial makeup session a couple of months before the wedding and I was very impressed with Arfana's work. Not only were we able to connect as MUA and bridal client, but our conversations made me feel like I have known Arfana for a long time. She made me feel comfortable, and I especially appreciated the bridal checklist she provided a couple of weeks before the wedding so that I could prepare my skincare routine and outfits appropriately. Her sari pleating skills are next-level and all of my family members were very impressed by her technique. I got many compliments on my three looks for the wedding (Hindu Wedding, Catholic Wedding, and Wedding Reception) and I was very happy with my experience with Arfana. I hope to work with her in the future again for any non-bridal looks and have already recommended her to some of my friends and family members! -
