Here’s my review:
-
Bina is the best you can find in Karachi. Everyone else is really over the top. Especially SABS. I hated their make up and general unprofessional ism and lack of cleanliness in the salon.
-
It’s true, she doesn’t like feedback from the client and likes to have it her way. When I told her what I wanted, she replied and said, “if you’re gonna say so much.. might as well do the make up yourself”.
-
Manis and pedis are very nice, not because of anyother reason except that the music is playing and the environment is really relaxing. But for that money, I can get a longer pedicure (which I enjoy, b/c a longer foot massage is just swell) at places like Neelo’s in Khi.
-
My makeup was pretty good.. I liked it. I don’t think it would’ve been better anywhere else. It wasn’t too simple. In fact, I told her a few times to go a bit lighter… but she used her judgment and it turned out alright.
-
Hair is tricky. You must be super finicky with her girls and tell them specifically what you want or you risk being made to look bald b/c they pull it too tight and use WAYYYY too much hairspray.
All in all… I say go to Bina Khan over any other make up artist but don’t expect the perfection you’ll find in salons in North America b/c that’s just not there. I’d say she’s the best of the worst.
If you’re not sure about Bina, your best chance is to do the make up yourself by practicing on yourself a few times. This is also something I highly recommend and would’ve implemented if I had some more time.
