have a trial with kaaya salon in oak brook… there is a girl Maaria that works there that specializes in Arabic makeup i believe and shes also worked with a few pakistani girls that i know so she’s a good mix…
as for photographers, ive heard studio 7, sejal, and zeerum are all pretty reasonably priced… dont have #'s to any of them, sorry! but im sure u can find them on this thread..
ashyana food is great… been to quite a few events there, never experienced “bad” food..their butter chicken is delish!
good luck!
