Abhilasha is amazing! I hired her as my makeup artist and hair stylist for my wedding in September and it was one of the best decisions I made. I contacted her after my previous contract fell through, and I got super lucky that she was able to accommodate in such a tight time frame. She was super flexible with the trial, and always super punctual (even with our 4am start on the wedding day!). She listened to all my makeup requests and made sure I felt comfortable with the choices she made. She places an emphasis on skin (and had no issues at all with my darker, south indian skin tone) and really understands how makeup plays with wedding photography. She is also just a very thoughtful and friendly person that was super easy to text with about anything and talk to on the crazy wedding day. Thank you Abhilasha! :) More...

I have to tell you all the excellent experience I had with Abhilasha at Makeup And Hair by Abhilasha.I have been looking for a makeup artist for many years to help me to buy the right shade of makeup products for my skin tone and also to teach me the right way to apply. I had disappointing experiences until I found Abhilasha. She not only taught me how to pick up the right shade for my skin tone and how to apply properly, but also, explained everything about taking care of my skin daily, my morning routine, my night routine, the importance to use sunscreen etc. I learned a lot. Thanks Abhilasha More...

I took a makeup class from Abhilasha Singh to learn how to properly apply makeup. Everything starting from an everyday five minute look to how to totally glam up for special events. She is not only a great makeup artist but also an amazing teacher! I walked away with tons of knowledge- How to chose the right skin care products for my skin, How to chose the right makeup products and also how to properly apply and use everything. I think I have enough confidence now to walk into a makeup store and figure out exactly what type of product I need.Another aspect I wasn't too comfortable with is how to do a smokey eye, she gave me a step by step easy to follow tutorial and totally took my fear away. After the class, with enough practice I think I am going to be totally comfortable with doing a full glam look on myself with ease.Thanks Abhilasha for being a great teacher! More...

Aby did my hair and makeup for our hybrid Indian-American wedding, and I cannot thank her enough for her beautiful work. She was professional, experienced and patient as I tried to decide what looks I wanted for our wedding day. She was also super helpful getting me dressed with both outfit changes for the ceremony and reception. She is kind, funny, warm and gracious.

Abby and her team are amazing! My wedding was in SanJose and i was so tensed to get a south indian look . I checked her website and because of her reviews I approached her . I think that was the best thing i did.From the beginning, everything was very easy. I loved her work during the trial. She is really good at what she does . All my friends and relatives loved her work(hair and makeup ) during my wedding. I had to change 4 sarees during my wedding and she did it with ease . It is so easy to work with her. Phone calls and messages were returned promptly and she really took her time to listen to what I wanted.  I loved her work during all the ceremonies(trial, pre engagement, mehendi, wedding and reception). Each had a different touch to it. If you are looking for something natural please approach her and I am sure you will not be disappointed :) :). More...

I have never met someone so professional, so amazing at her job, so thorough and mindblowingly good at what she does! She made me look like a princess on my big day. Aby uses the highest and the most expensive makeup brands I was wowed by that. She arrived on time, was very professional and a dream to work with! Before the big day I shared some pinterest images with her for the kind of look I wanted. She gave me a look that was a 1000 times better than the pinterest looks I selected. I was blown away, so was my husband and all the guests - they loved my makeup. I was happy all day feeling beautiful. Out in the sun all day and after 12 hours my makeup was still intact and still made me look fresh, not a smudge, no trace of oiliness. The products she used were so high quality. She made my day perfect! More...

By the way she patiently taught my hair stylist how to expertly cut my hair from her , I thought for sure she was one of the teachers & made a mental note to ask about her. Fast forward several haircuts later by Abi, I'd never looked back & thank the stars how our paths crossed by chance, all because of her willingness to help a fellow stylist in need w/ her amazing hair styling skills! She's ever so professional, patient and a wonderful listener of her clients' needs, and I always step out feeling like I'm on the fashion runway after her haircuts!Thank YOU for being you, my fierce yet always so sensible & fabulous beauty guru!!

I got to work with Pratixa from Abilasha's team for my engagement. I needed her to come at 3 am because I needed to be ready by 5 30 am ( crazy, I know! ). We were sharing our woes about losing sleep over text and she arrived promptly at 3. She understood exactly what I wanted and was very adept with her skills. She primed my face pretty well and did a perfect natural look for me. We ended having not much time for the hair but that wasn't her fault. She suggested to come at 2 30 am but I only pushed it to 3. I loved my make up although I wish I gave that extra half hour for my hair. I would totally recommend her. She is very friendly and amazing! More...

She has a great eye for what looks good based on your face shape as well. She also curled and styled it so that it looked super awesome on day 1. I love it and will definitely be going back to Abby!

To all the ladies out there who are on the verge of deciding whether or not to hire Abhilasha, let me ask you one question. . ‘WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR !?!’ Am pretty sure you’ve seen her work online and are in love with it already. You know you want to hire her, so why waste time by second guessing yourself? I got married in February of this year and Abhilasha did my hair and makeup. And can I just say, she did a phenomenal job. She worked with me from day 1 to perfectly curate the two looks for my ceremony and reception that we both felt comfortable with. For the morning ceremony, we went with a subtle look with glowy skin and simple bun for hair-do whereas for the evening reception, we still went with glowy skin BUT with grey smoky eyes and wavy hair. I loved both the looks! And the best part, I didn’t have to touch up my makeup at all, other than just blotting some oil from my face. And ladies, get this-she will work with you as early as 3 months prior to the occasion date to make sure your hair and skin is at its ultimate best on the day of. Based on the skin/hair type you have, she will recommend home remedies, diet changes and/or natural products to get to that beauty goal. She will ACTUALLY listen to what you have to say and bring your makeup/hair vision to life. She will take her time to make you look perfect for your big day/occasion. I personally believe that makeup is to accentuate features you already have. The purpose of makeup products was never meant to make you look like a completely different person. And Abhilasha believes in that!! She will do her magic on you, but YOU will still look like YOU. You will look glamorous after she is done, but you will still recognize yourself in the mirror, which for me was a big deal .I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone who is seeking a makeup/hair artist. I am a happy customer, and will work with her every chance I get. More...

Because I was a bit late, she gave me a regimen to follow right away to make my skin glow and I have to say, my skin was ABSOLUTELY glowing!

Where to begin with the amazing Abhilasha Singh?!? First off, I was plan all, do all bride. About six months before my wedding I had the venue, the dress, the food, decorations, florist, decorations and everything in between picked out and finalized. Except, of course, the dreaded makeup artist and hair stylist. I consider myself to be fairly girly/feminine, but I do not like the way I look in heavy make-up... at all! I cried after having my make-up done for my engagement party because I did not feel the least bit pretty. And, coming from a fairly traditional Lebanese household, my mom and sister had high expectations that I wear about 10 lbs of makeup!Abhilasha returned my call and follow-up with me after I went missing for a good month (I had some health stuff to deal with). After she got back on my radar, I know I was pretty late in the game and needed to book someone fast. She was so kind on the phone and after briefly explaining my vision over the phone on my lunch break while traveling for work, she reiterated what I said and THEN SOME! A few months later, I went by her place for the trial. You know how every woman wants her "ah ha" moment when she tries on her wedding dress?!? Screw the wedding dress, Abhilasha made me feel like a bride in jeans and a white tank top! I mean, wow!!! She is so unbelievably skillful with foundation and skin. I've never seen anything like it. I felt like a celebrity with my hair and extensions, which came part of the package.Leading up to the first look and/or ceremony, you spend the most amount of time with your make-up artist and hair stylist and photographer. I loved being around Abhilasha so much I want to be friends! She is witty, professional, charming, and so freaking good at what she does. Wedding day was organized down to the last second. Mostly because of me, but also because she knew what needed to get done. She brought a few of her girls with her to do my bridesmaids hair and makeup and they did a great job.Everyone was in awe at my makeup and they could not get over how spectacular my hair looked. I had a grand wedding with a Lebanese zaffe entrance and needed my hair and makeup to stand out, but not over shadow the dress and venue. I felt like myself 100% and that was the most important thing to me. But, I felt the most beautiful I ever have in my life. Abhilasha was worth every cent and then some. She traveled from San Francisco to Monterey, CA and helped make my fairy tale wedding a dream come true. I recommend her over and over again. More...

She also styled me for my special day by giving me a makeover with make up that was understated yet, emphasized my eyes and features and gave me that glam look.

Aby is also a fantastic hair guru and now, she is the only person I would trust to cut my hair!

During the time leading up to the occasion, we would chat quite regularly and share notes about the look and style for each event - especially since Indian weddings have multiple events! Aby is truly gifted at creating unique and beautiful looks. She made me feel like a total princess! Aby also helped me find hair and makeup artists for the bridal and groom parties! She and her team were thoroughly professional with each service and we received so many compliments!

If you are a bride looking for the BEST makeup and hair artist for your special day, look no further. Aby's services are incredible and unparalleled! I highly recommend you book her if she's available! More...

I was looking for a makeup and hair artist for my engagement shoot in the city and was having a hard time finding someone who did more dramatic makeup. I found Aby through Yelp and decided to give her a try because she had such great reviews. I am so happy that I ended up going with Aby. She created the perfect look for my engagement shoot and was so attentive. She made sure every detail was perfect and made sure I was happy throughout the process. Aby was such a pleasure to work with, and I would definitely recommend her! More...

Aby is an expert in her craft. From the minute I met her I knew that I wouldn't just receive a haircut but a transformative experience from a master of her craft. While she works, she becomes a story teller, a muse and a friend while you're taking notes on her process. She listens to your thoughts on what you'd like and she shares her views to elevate your understanding from start to finish.I went to her on 3 separate occasions and every time her professionalism, focus and attention to detail was truly unique. She inspired and motivated me to be a better human and love myself more because of how she handled and breathed life into my hair. You will be lucky if you have the chance to have her work on any aspect of your physical being. She will make you feel so good about yourself - but she'll also show you the beauty within is what's the most important and unique to you! Cheers and we love you Abhilasha. Thank you for sharing your light. More...
