Nihala was simply amazing! She perfectly understood the vision I had for my look on my wedding day. The makeup was flawless, the draping was perfection! The whole look came together like a dream! Nihala apart from being extremely professional was also a pleasant company for three hours, while she worked diligently on bringing my vision to life!! read more

Nihala is great! She is timely, talented, nice and knows how to make you look good! Nihala did my makeup for 3 of my events during my wedding and my absolute favorite was the ceremony- she just knew how to achieve the perfect balance of sweet with glamour- without going over the top and being too trendy. I know my photos will be timeless thanks to her and that's really what I was looking for at my ceremony. If you're a Desi bride, she is perfect with settings and draping. She even was so kind that she helped fix my tikkas and jhoomars when my non Desi hair lady kind of put them on wrong- she tried to guide her and even just knew to back off when she didn't want to listen. I appreciated that a lot bc it minimized any chance for drama and I thought it was so sweet and kind of her to do so in general. I heart Nihala! read more

Where do I start at? Nihala deserves more than 5 stars!! She made me look like Queen in my wedding ceremony and princess in my Reception!!! Nihala called me a week in advance before my big day just to make me feel comfortable and to discuss in detail about how I want my makeup for these events. She was accommodating all my requests and was very friendly. On wedding day, she was there right on time at the makeup venue at 4 am in the morning!! She was easygoing, very well organized, flexible and my great start of the day. I felt her as a very close friend and my stress buster on a big day. Nihala helped me in many things after my makeup( like jewelry, Saree draping) which were not even included in her contract. It was really a long day for her but that didn't reflect at all on my Reception look and she made me look amazing!! I got many compliments for both my makeups. She was very cooperative with my photographer and Videographers as well and did everything she could to make my day a big success. Nihala has really become my goto person now and I have already booked her for my next event. :) I would only say, don't think even for a second and hand yourself over to Nihala for your important life events. read more

I have known Nihala for 2 years now! She is an amazing woman and an incredible fashionista. She is very professional and is always on time. Even with multiple events before and during my wedding she stayed very patient and did an amazing job with my hair and make up. Either it be 2 am in the morning or 6 pm in the evening she was there with her positive and happy energy and working her magic. Thank you for adding to the joy on my big day! As always love your work! read more

Nihala did a wonderful job for my makeup, hair, and saree draping for my nuptials and reception! She was on time, kind, and very professional. She was able to give me the exact look I wanted just from a verbal description, and did a fantastic job especially considering we did not have a trial appointment previously. She came prepared with all the necessary products (all high end), and her whole set up. Nihala also worked very well in the chaos that was my house on my wedding day, and helped me remain calm in stressful situations as well. She was an absolute joy to have as a part of my special day, and I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to glow on their special day! read more

Nihala did my bridal hair, make up, and reception hair and make up, she was professional, used good make up products, came very prepared, was accommodating, had full set up, was organized. I love make up, but I sure don't know bridal make up, she was able to handle me well, and ensure that I understand I need to go a little extra on my big day! Prelim pics look amazing! Thanks Nihala! She even arranged artists to do hair for my bridal party, and was accommodating to last minute changes. I definitely recommend her! And will surely be using her again and recommending her. read more

Nihala is an absolute joy to include on your special day (wedding, reception, baby shower, it doesn't matter). She was sweet and respectful, and did an amazing job at following my very detailed requests! I have had my hair and makeup done numerous times, but she is by far the best! Its important to feel comfortable with someone in your personal space, and she was super funny and easygoing. I felt like my cousin or close friend was sharing my special day. read more

Nihala is an amazing artist who makes women feel as beautiful on the outside as they are inside. She has the magic of understanding a person and bringing out the personality. It was so amazing to see my daughter shine with her fine touches! read more

Nihala did my wedding reception makeup, she did a great job. I had a trial and we discussed what my daily look is and what kind of makeup we want. I changed my hairstyle on the day of my reception and she was able to accommodate. She helped with my duppata draping as well. Overall she did amazing job Would definitely recommend her. She is great to work with read more

Amazing!! Nihala is such a wonderful person and such a gem!! Planning a cross coast wedding was stressful to a point that I was left with only a month to find a makeup and hair artist and was scrambling to find someone who could help me on my big day! I was recommended by Priti to reach out to Nihala and from the get go we hit it off !! She went above and beyond to squeeze me into her busy schedule ( driving over 80miles to and fro for the two days even after a long and early start to her day!). We did a quick trial at her place 3 weeks before the wedding where she made me feel at home ( I hadn't really ever got a professional makeup done and was a little nervous about it!) but once I saw how I looked ( and the look of awe on my husband/then fiance's face) , I didn't have to think twice! Nihala did such a wonderful job on both my sangeet and wedding with my hair and makeup - I got soooooo many compliments ( and I am not used to it at all) - I felt like a princess on my special day!! She also helped me with my touch-up for my reception and was around to calm my nerves by being a friend right before the wedding ceremony!! All in all I highly recommend her for your makeup and hair needs and will keep in touch with her as a new found friend!! read more

Nihala is a gem! I had a four event for my wedding but due to previous contracts I got stuck with a different person for 2 and was lucky enough to book Nihala for the Sangeet and Reception. I got the most compliments on those two days. She really takes the time to get to know the client and cater to the look that is desired. I plan I'm using her services for all future events. Book Nihala! You won't be disappointed! read more

Nihala is not only an amazing artist but also a very awesome person. She did a great job for my nikah event and calmed me down when I was getting nervous for my big day. She is such a sweetheart and catered to all my needs. Everyone loved her work. Plus she is very reasonable with her clients. I highly recommend her. Way to go, Nihala!! read more

I had the opportunity to book Nihala for one of my modeling agency shoot. She was very professional from start to finish and it's all a photographer can hope for. She communicated promptly, showed up on time and was able to create the looks from my concept board into reality. Both me and my models were very happy with the results. I would definitely book Nihala again for future shoots. read more

I got my makeup and hair done from Nihala for a cousin's wedding. She made me look and feel extremely pretty! She was really great to work with. I wanted a certain updo and she made it even better and beautiful. All her products and equipments were premium quality, so I was comfortable putting it on my face and hair. She is meticulous and detail oriented. Very easy to work with and accommodates all your request. Very competitively priced. I got 2 looks done for different events and loved them both. Highly recommend her for all types of makeup and hairstyles read more

I had a great experience with Nihala. One of the best makeup artist I came across in so cal.

I highly recommend her for every event. Big thumbs up! read more

This review is long overdue. I had Nihala for 3 of my bridal events and she went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. She is amazing and I received so many compliments. I had booked her last minute for one of the days and she left an obligation she had early to make sure I was ready on time. Truly an amazing artist and person! read more

Thank you Nihala, my makeup for my walima on 6/29 turned out so lovely & I got tons of compliments! Would definitely recommend you to fam & friends! read more

I'm so glad I booked Nihala for my baby shower. She made me look and feel so gorgeous. She did my hair and make up and my overall look turned out great as well. I highly recommend using Nihala read more

Nihala did my hair and makeup for my wedding ceremony and reception and she did an amazing job! She also arranged for an assistant to do the hair and makeup for my family members and they all looked beautiful! I don't wear makeup often so I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do with makeup. I put my trust in her and she made me feel like a princess! She did my hair for both the ceremony and reception exactly how I imagined (with her suggestion of adding beautiful flowers to my wedding hairstyle) and it turned out so well! I wanted to do long curls for my reception hairstyle and she recommended that I buy hair extensions so that I would have the length I imagined. I purchased the hair extensions that she recommended and they looked great, matched my hair color perfectly, and the look turned out exactly how I wanted. She was also very sweet, easy to communicate with, and flexible with scheduling my hair and makeup trial since I was flying in from out of town. I would definitely recommend her for anyone that is looking for hair and makeup! read more

I am in It and last thing I think about is make up. I don't wear much make up on a daily basis . I signed up for a fashion show event for fun ( at a womens day event by a local organization) . I saw Nihala's work on a what's app group and was impressed by the pictures. I chatted with and made an appointment for hair and make up. She is a professional and very well organized, I was impressed with her patience and creativity. She really made me look good :) She took time and did not compromise on quality of her products. My experience with Nihala was wonderful and cant wait to go back to her again for any occasion. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a enjoyable and affordable make up experience. Girls, you must try Nihala if you would like to be dolled up :) read more

Wanted to do make up and Nihala gladly said she will do it for me...I wanted to keep the look very natural and at the same time elegant...her eye makeup was the best and I simply loved the way she transformed me...very subtle look she gave me... read more

Nihala is SUPER AMAZING!!! She did my makeup for wedding and reception. She did all my family and relatives makeup. Everyone loved her! No one has seen such talent before! She does any hair and makeup of your choice! Nihala did 10 girls makeup and everyone was 100% satisfied! I requested her to be at my house at 4am and she was there! She was on time everywhere! She also gave advise and do's and don'ts, which were very helpful! She kept communication with me and responded quickly! I am so happy I found her, wouldn't of asked for anyone else! read more

Nihala is amazing! She did my makeup for my wedding ceremony and my makeup and hair for my wedding reception. Both the makeup and hair turned out beautiful. I got many compliments . She has a warm personality. Very reliable and professional. Weddings do not always go as planned. Only one of the two make up/hair artists showed up for the evening event. Nihala went out of her way to get me, my mom and sister ready on time for the reception. I would definitely recommend her to my family and friends! read more

Before hearing about Nihala, I requested and had makeup trials with other South Asian makeup artists. After Nihala did my trial makeup, I immediately booked her for my big day. Not only is she extremely talented, but she is extremely patient, kind and responsive. She addressed all my concerns and even went with me to Sephora a few weeks before my wedding because there were specific products I had requested. Many of the other trial makeup artists were extremely rushed or became offended when I said there was something I didn't like. Nihala, however, took the time to give me the soft bridal glam look, hair and dupatta that was even beyond what I had dreamed about. On my wedding day, after wishing me congratulations, all my friends asked me who my makeup artist was. It was such a pleasure for me to recommend Nihala who made my day so special. read more

I wear very minimal to no makeup on a daily basis, this time I decided to get ready professionally for an event and I chose Nihala. I chose her as she is very versatile, she caters exactly to a client's needs. She knows exactly what look will suit me and she gave me the most subtle & elegant but an amazing transformation that everyone loves and appreciated. I thank her for comforting me and suggesting this particular look on me. She uses very quality products & her work says it all. She's very reasonably priced, so try her at least once. read more

Is there anyway I can give a higher rating than 5 stars? Nihala Didi is professional, prepared, skilled and very versatile. She was my makeup artist for a very important fashion shoot. She was able to properly color coordinate my eyeshadow, lipstick and full face according to each outfit I was wearing. Not to mention that she herself is such a fun loving and radiant person to be around. Nihala Didi takes her time making sure that you look good AND feel good. She gives you her full attention 24/7. When working with her, you can see the passion and effort she puts into her work. It's hard to find makeup artists that have that external radiance that shows their genuine love for the art of makeup. She cares about your needs and wants. She is also very skilled at tailoring makeup to each individual as opposed to just mimicking a look. Nihala Didi personalizes each look given to her in order to tailor it to her client. She is absolutely amazing and I personally would only want her as my makeup artist. You will be more than happy working with her! read more

Nihala is simply amazing. She is so friendly, client oriented and understands her client well. She knows exactly what we want and how we want to look and gives you that. She is artistic, creative, knowledgeable and dedicated to make the day for her client. She pays special attention to every minute detail which enhances the clients overall look. She knows her color pallet well and brings on her 'A' game beautifully to coordinate with the clients outfit. She is so focused when she works on hair and makeup even for multiple clients and uses her time effectively and efficiently. Also, she is never late and gets her clients ready well in time for their events. I have had multiple great experiences with Nihala and simply love her. She is awesome. read more

Nihala did my daughters hair for her prom and was amazingly quick, perfect styling and stayed the whole night. Daughter loved it (big relief) and so did the friends and others who saw it. Will surely go back to her for future parties. And she had a great attitude as well and was flexible for a last min appt! read more
