Shanaz Yaqub for me is amazing! She did my best friend’s makeup on both wedding and walima and did an amazing job. She’s really good with hair and to be honest not as drag queen type as Sadia Akram. She is cheaper than Sadia as well and provides double day discounts. She gave 2 completely different looks and her service was of a very high standard. She’s really down to earth and does her job to a professional standard. She doesn’t really advertise her real brides as much but if you contact her I’m sure she can show you her portfolio. Good luck

Hi Tahiya! Thank you sooo much for your response, just saw your msg hence the late reply! SY is really good but I want emphasis on my eyes and she seems to only do softer bridal looks - did your friend have dramatic eyes? SY also did make up for one of my friends and it was very natural looking, didn’t really stand out.

I’ve seen some of the prices that people on this thread were quoted last year for bridal hair and make up - I think the recession must have hit the hair and beauty industry pretty badly because MUA prices seem to have doubled/ tripled in the space of a year! I really like Dil and Jawaad but both are quoting £850. Annie Shah emailed me back saying she only does makeup for brides (even though I told her I wanted bridal makeup - duno what she meant). I’ve heard good things about Ambreen - has anyone tried her?? How much does she charge? Sadaf hair and beauty looks quite good as well but some of her pics seem cakey, can anyone vouch for her?

There are a few upcoming younger MUAs in Birmingham that i’m thinking of using (Jess, Sumi, Opulence Beauty), their fb pics look pretty good.. is this is a good idea considering these MUAs don’t have the same experience as some of the popular/ established ones?? I’m so confused! :S
