Re: ANAM’s (Anam Falak) Make-up classes: a review

@minellem

I was pretty shocked to read some of the comments here since I have personally met her and booked both my shaadi and valima makeup with her so I thought I would comment here. I have had experiences with diva makeup artists who have been extremely rude to me and I’m sure everyone has had some experience with someone and is free to share but directly attacking someone as a showoff or saying she uses so and so regarding her trips is a bit personal and distasteful. From what I know **[1] she comes from an extremely wealthy family **which is why her studio is at her own premises, her father being one of the top most government officials in the country (there is so much crazy security outside her place)and she has always been that way so I’m pretty sure she isn’t dying for 20k. [2] Could possibly also account for her being a bit rude/iffy but she was not rude to me at all. If anyone had an issue they should have directly spoken to her rather than posting online as I highly doubt it would make her do anything or even read it. I personally know a lot of people who have had amazing experiences with her and 98000+ people are not mad and I did go through her makeup classes album after this, have to say [3]neither are the unaccountable girls who have written very good reviews about them. Also, you can see photos clients have submitted, not taken by herself, on her page wall which prove there are loads of satisfied customers. [4] Right now she has a lot going on for her which might be why certain people are feeling the need to add in their 2 cents without even meeting her/knowing her. And as for Saba Ansari at Sabs, everytime I have met her she has been nice to me, always smiling though her services are not personalised at all and I only like qadirs makeup there. If saba ansari slapped her driver or her maid or her daughter, it is her personal life and she will be accountable for it.

Just to answer the bits in bold…

1. Why am I supposed to care what sort of family she comes from? She says this on her page a lot as well, and I really don’t see the relevance. She’s started a business, and I’m holding her accountable to her business philosophy, not how much money she already has, if she’s just doing this for fun, or if she really needs the money. I don’t care about any of those things, what I care about is what I’m getting for the money I’ve paid her.

2. I did speak to her personally and was very rudely spoken to in reply. I also tried to speak to her manager who never came in after the first day where she collected everyone’s money. I left my phone number and a direct request to be contacted but never was. I then posted a complaint on Anam’s page too, and was promptly deleted and blocked. I feel deceived by all of the glowing reviews I read about her classes, and I think it’s only fair that people should be aware that there could be a dark side to the whole process as well. I’m certainly not stopping anyone from going to her studio.

Also, why do you think it’s okay for her to not read/respond to a review? I would think she would be concerned about her clientele’s satisfaction, no?

3. I’m not sure exactly what you mean, but if you’re saying that girls have only posted good reviews on Anam’s page, then you’ve just proven my point. Not everyone has an amazing experience, and with what happened to me, I think it is fair to guess that bad reviews have been deleted immediately.

4. I’m saying all of this after taking a 5 day course with her, so you may rest assured that I don’t have a personal vendetta where I’m trying to take Anam down. I would have posted a review singing her praises if I’d gotten my money’s worth, because I feel that good work and business ethics should be praised. If I find professionalism lacking, however, I’m certainly going to make my voice heard about it.
