hey, i recently had my nikkah in multan and did my own makeup (everyone was asking where i got it done ;)). i did however check out a bunch of salons for hair.
do not judge on the pictures these salons have up - you need to see real brides!
cosmos was recommended but it was terrible - dirty place, girls didn't know how to do treatments properly (i had a manicure, pedicure and blow dry - it was all a joke) and the makeup i saw was waaay to heavy and typical. the lady who owns it (she runs it in her house) thinks she knows everything.
allenora is not that fancy and shiny inside. but the girls are much more professional. they have dedicated jobs and the assistants do all the un-skilled stuff. they actually listen to clients as well. when i went to check it out, one of the ladies was doing a beautiful hair style with flowers in it so i asked if she could do my nikah hair. she did a great job and she also did my mehndi which came out really nice.
my brother in law got married during the same days (we had nikah with his walima) and on his barat his wife had her makeup done from allenora and i was amazed- they did exactly what she had asked for. she has gorgeous skin and she asked for the base to look as though it was barely there. the lady who runs the salon does the makeup and she did exactly that. the whole look was quite light and comtempory which matched her outfit and jewellery really well.
on the contray, a family friend's daughter in law had more typical makeup froma allenora on barat and the 'model' look on walima. so i really think they can do a variety of looks.
my BIL's wife walima makeup was done by farah's who did a really, really heavy base that in real life started cracking and melting half way through the walima. they gave her the 'model' look dark smokey eyes and pink lips - totally redrew her lipline though. it looked ok in pics but aged her by 15 years.
found out after the wedding that the ladies that i know who live in multan and are wealthy and travel abroad a lot all prefer allenora for their regular treatments too.
Thanx a lot for you reply Stoppit ....
I am so confused according to make up . i am living in norway and are going to pakistan 3 week before my wedding.
i had my engagement in october and done my make up by my self ... there is no good porlors there we live.
i am so unsure that should i book anyone from lahore or multan .
why do you not done your make up from allenora on your nikkah ?
do you not like their make up or just wanted to do by your self?
