No problem Tlucky8 Anything for the would be brides as I myself have gone through that beautiful yet stressful phase of preparation & research.
I actually got my make done from her daughter in law Maliha Khan. She did a brilliant job all three days. I had booked them both for my makeup & the bridal party’s makeup. My mom & two sisters. Lubna Khan did my mom’s makeup & not just my mom but every single person loved it.
I think she charged me $180 for shadi & walema day individually with traveling to my venue at that time. I don’t remember how much I paid for the mehndi day. She did my hair & some basic coverage of my face for mehndi. I got a 20% paklinks discount. Yay Gupshup & since I was getting makeup & hair done for the bridal party she gave me even more discount resulting in the price I mentioned above.
This past Sunday they also did my sister’s Nikkah makeup & mine’s & my mom’s party makeup.
They are good at what they do & there is no doubt about that. Just make sure you get a trial done because that gives you & the makeup artist a chance to kinda know what you like or what kind of approach she has. They are really good at understanding what you want & giving you that look & most of all they are not arrogant or snobby like many makeup artists I have come across are.
I will suggest however though & this is for all prospective brides. Make sure you let your makeup artist know exactly what you want or like. Don’t hesitate if you think your look is incomplete or not exactly what you had in mind. Be open about it.
Like for instance on my walema day I thought my tikka was a little slant & I asked my makeup artist to make sure it was straight. She thought it was fine & now in my all pictures the tikka is actually a little “terha” So trust your makeup artist because she is a pro. at the end of the day BUT also make sure that you are 100% satisfied at that very moment when you are dressed up & the final touches are being made.
In terms of photography I have seen their work but since I had already booked Syed’s at that time I honestly didn’t pay much attention to their work. A Guppan here booked them for her wedding & was very happy & satisfied. Try reading the full thread if you haven’t already. Its in the last few pages.
Another thing. They are very flexible & most of the makeup artists or vendors I have seen except Decorator Rami & the makeup artist Zubaida. All just do their work & you can’t expect them to be understanding if a situation arises.
Hope this helped
Thanks a lot Bint-e- Naeem for all this info
its kind of overwhelming when you think about all the things u have to do and check in to but its fun as well.. i really am thinking about going for ashyana for the main day, on this forum many people discouraged going to montys. i dont mind going to any other place but i’d rather stick with some place that has everything on site rather than catering from an outside restaurant, that way if somehting goes wrong it can be easily taken care of. what do u think, u have any suggestions besides ashyana?
