Reviewed: Solah Shringar October 4, 2023 at 1:04 pmAnjali was one of the best MUA i’ve encountered! She did mine and my mom’s hair, make up and mehndi for my engagement party and as the pictures show, she did an amazing job!! I’m definitely considering her for my wedding because I couldn’t be happier with her work. She was super friendly, respectful and professional with us and she treats all her clients like her family. We were so happy with her work and so happy with our decision of hiring her!!

Reviewed: Solah Shringar August 21, 2023 at 12:20 amAnjali was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I got Anjali for hair and make-up. Just as a background, I am Filipina but had an Indian wedding because of my husband. What I loved the most about Anjali was she was able to create a look that was still me but allowed me to enjoy being an “Indian” bride as well. She was so detail-oriented, the look lasted the entire time, it felt very light, and she made me look alive despite barely getting sleep the night before 🙂 She also went over and beyond, assisted me w/ my draping, even helped me pin a part of my dress that was lose. my hair & accessories were secured so well, and despite the volume she created with my hair, it still felt very light and natural. She was very flexible too, as I was a little indecisive at time, and she walked me through options. Bottomline, no matter what type of bride you are, if you want the peace of mind of knowing you’ll look great for your wedding, book Anjali!

Reviewed: Solah Shringar July 30, 2023 at 6:00 pmAnjali is a great makeup and hair stylist to work with! While discussing my look prior to the special day, she takes the time to call and discuss what you’re looking for. After providing inspirational pictures to her, she’ll discuss what you like or don’t like about the pictures and will go over any helpful tips about skincare prior to your wedding day. I went for a makeup and hair trial and while going over my look, we discussed what worked best for me and what didn’t. She was great at taking suggestions and from those suggestions, she created the perfect look for both my wedding and reception! She’s very sweet to work with and would highly recommend hiring her!

It was a pleasure working with her. I gave her ideas of how I wanted my henna to look and she delivered on all of it on short notice. She took her time, was patient with me, and took care of how comfortable I was throughout the entire process. She even stayed late to finish everything and never rushed the process. She is so personable and I highly recommend Anjali to anyone looking for bridal henna!

Reviewed: Solah Shringar May 24, 2023 at 7:41 pmAnjali was such a huge help on my wedding day. She worked super fast, was really professional, and went above and beyond (even helping be create my bridal bouquet). I wanted someone who could give me a soft glam look that looked Elegant and Anjali totally delivered. She’s also great with draping. After the wedding, I consistently heard people say two things to me: the food was great and my wedding look was perfection….all thanks to Anjali. Can’t recommend her enough. Worth every penny (and she was reasonably priced too)!

A warm, affectionate and dedicated artist who goes above and beyond to make this the most important part of the bride’s vanity.

Thank you Anjali for making the art come alive! Couldn’t have chosen a better better Mehandi artist than you😉

Reviewed: Solah Shringar January 25, 2023 at 3:54 pmAnjali was patient. First she asked about my preference then did the henna designs. She did the guest henna too. She waited until my henna completely dried and wrapped it up. Anjali provided a moisturizer which smells really good. For my hairstyle she did loose curls and pinned my vail on. Definitely taking her for upcoming weddings and Eid’s.

Reviewed: Solah Shringar December 17, 2022 at 12:27 amAnjali was an absolute pleasure to work with! She did my bridal henna twice – once during my wedding ceremony in 2020 and a second time during my reception in 2022. She did a phenomenal job! I LOVED my henna both times. The designs were stunning, and the stain lasted for days! She also did hair and makeup for my family members and bridesmaids during my reception, and they loved it! She’s very sweet, patient, and lovely to talk to! 😊 And prompt! Thank you Anjali for making my wedding festivities all the more incredible!

Reviewed: Solah Shringar December 5, 2022 at 5:33 pmAnjali was a joy to work with! She worked with me to ensure my bridal henna design included symbols that were significant to me – like my cat, and the vegan V – which made my henna that much more special to me.
The henna process took hours, as you can imagine. Over that time we bonded and she stayed as long as it took to ensure the henna was done perfectly even though it was beyond what she had initially anticipated. She showed this same patience and attention to detail when providing designs for our guests during the henna event.
Finally, for my wedding day, she did an incredible job with my hair, makeup and saree draping. I opted for a more subtle glam look compared to most desi brides – and she ensued that she would honor my requirements.
We had a hair trial and through that process she took note of my feedback and suggestions so that for my big day, the look was exactly as I had hoped – and it was! My hair lasted all day as did my makeup – with no touch ups. To put this in perspective, my hair and makeup were completed by 10 am and the wedding went until 10 pm.
The saree dealing was perfect, she was careful to pin it in such a way that the saree itself was not damaged.
Anjali is a gem and I am so glad we found and chose her!

Reviewed: Solah Shringar December 4, 2022 at 11:59 pmAnjali is amazing! She flew all the way to Brampton, Canada for my wedding events. The mehndi designs was out of this world. I had so many people messaging me about the details. I felt so beautiful and confident during both of my events (Mehndi & Haldi). I was nervous because I don’t usually wear make-up, but she is so easy to work with and encouraged me to share my vision. I got so many compliments on my hair and make-up – my face still hurts from all the smiling! I’m forever grateful to Anjali and I would recommend them to any bride in a heartbeat!

My sister has never had professional makeup done, but this was her first time, and she just loved it. I am going to have her do out make again for the wedding.
