    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!! :)

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Life saver and now long term hair stylist!

    Harsha went above and beyond to make my wedding day special. With only a week left she saved my hair and turned me into a beautiful bride! She is outgoing and very easy to talk to! Highly recommend if you’re needing your hair done for an event or date!💕

    Harshalani's reply:

    Thank you so much, Lindsey! I thoroughly enjoyed working with you! You looked beautiful and were so easy to work with!

    BEST makeup and team!

    I worked with Harsha for hair and makeup for my engagement photos and wedding, and she is a DREAM! She is extremely prompt (she beat me to my venue!), knowledgeable, and kind. She was able to take my loose ideas for how I wanted to look and turn them into a reality that lasted all the way through my wedding. I couldn't be happier with how I looked (and photographed) and will have her as my go-to for hair and makeup.

    Great! Harsha is the #1!

    Harsha Lani was amazing to work with! She is so incredibly knowledgeable about make up and what brands work well on sensitive skin, like mine. Additionally, she is so fun to chat to while she does your hair and make up and always makes sure that you're comfortable with the process.

    Harshalani's reply:

    Thank you so much Emily! I had such a great time doing your wedding makeup and hair! I am so glad you loved it, and you looked stunning!

    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!

    Very thankful I found Harsha as makeup artist!

    Harsha was recommended to me by my venue coordinator and I’m so happy she was available for my wedding! From my first inquiry I knew she was going to be awesome! She was very responsive. She made me look and feel so gorgeous, as well as all of my bridesmaids and my mother. At my trial, she gave me a look that was flawless and timeless! The morning of my wedding Harsha was right on time even a little early. Everyone looked amazing and they couldn’t believe how natural the makeup looked! I was very calm all morning because I knew I was in such great hands. I can’t recommend Harsha enough, she is so talented at her craft and you can tell she really loves what she does. If you’re thinking of booking Harsha, act quick before she gets booked up!

    Great for a larger group!

    Harsha and her team were great. They worked on hair and makeup for my engagement ceremony for myself, my mother, my sister, mother-in-law and sister-in-law. My mother and MIL got hair and makeup services and they both wanted very natural looks. Harsha and her team did a great job and made them look glam without going overboard. Harsha worked on my hair and makeup and did a great job, was super adaptable even when I told her I wanted to change my look the day of. Additionally, I have oily skin so was very worried about my makeup not lasting all day- but was not an issue at all!

    Deceptive pricing and Unorganized

    She was supposed to drape Sarees and last minute told me that she was not going to be able to provide that service and I had to run around to find a new vendor. And finding someone to drape sarees here in Austin was not easy.
    Her pricing is not the same as it is posted here on Wedding Wire so she upcharged me.
    I did the hair and makeup preview and I had to drive 30+ minutes to someone's home which did not have a proper hair studio. I was supposed to have the hair and makeup trial as back-to-back services but I had to drive another 30 minutes away to get my makeup done without the gate or the apartment number where I was supposed to get my makeup done then I had to waste an hour waiting for the makeup appointment when I told they were back to back.
    She didn't include all line items in the total for the pricing. So even though I paid the total payment at the bottom, she called me just hours before another ceremony that I was preparing for to tell me that the total at the bottom of the invoice/contract didn't include all line items and I needed to make another payment.
    Lastly, since the lady rushed through everyone's hair throwing off the schedule, I had one guest who wanted to get her hair done which we had ample time for and she spent 5 minutes on that person's hair which is supposed to be a 45-minute service. She texted me after the wedding trying to collect a full payment and I told her I would be happy to pay the hair service provider directly since I entered into the agreement with the hairdresser and not her.
    Overall, she is just skimming off the top of actual service providers' work and not doing a good job coordinating it either.
    I have had many wonderful Vendors that I found on Wedding Wire for the event but this was far from it. If you are looking for a good hair vendor this is not a good choice.

    Harshalani's reply:

    Hi Rachel,

    We apologize you did not have a 5 star experience. We have already addressed each issue personally.

    As far as pricing goes, thank you for pointing it out, we have updated it on Wedding Wire as well.

    We wish you all the best,

    Harshalani and Team
