I had a great overall experience working with Raman Brar and her team for my wedding weekend, and…read moreI'm happy to leave a 5-star review because I truly loved my hair and makeup overall. My makeup looked beautiful throughout all of my events. On the morning of my wedding, my mascara did run after a few hours during our first ceremony. We decided not to use mascara for my second ceremony that evening, and everything held up perfectly. I don't necessarily blame Raman for this since everyone's skin is different, but if you have oilier eyelids like I do, it's something worth discussing during your trial or before your wedding day. My hair was one of my favorite parts of my looks, especially for our Sangeet. I have very thin hair, and Raman and her team did a wonderful job incorporating the extensions I purchased to create fullness and volume. My Sangeet hairstyle was my favorite of the weekend! My final hairstyle wasn't quite as full as I had envisioned, especially since we had discussed my hair's thinness beforehand, but overall I was very happy with all of my bridal looks. There are just a couple of things I'd recommend future brides keep in mind when planning their timeline. For my wedding morning, we started my bridal hair and makeup on time at 5:00 a.m , but we still ended up running behind my scheduled ready time. Later that day, before my second ceremony, Raman also arrived later than expected, so we had to move through my makeup a little more quickly. Wedding weekends can be unpredictable, and I know timing doesn't always go exactly as planned, but I'd recommend building in a little extra buffer time if your schedule is tight. We also had Raman's team do hair and makeup for my immediate family. We had originally expected each appointment to take around 45 minutes to an hour, but some took over two hours, which unfortunately caused a few family members to miss important photos. Raman explained that part of the delay was because some people arrived with wet hair that needed to be dried first, so I'd definitely recommend making sure everyone's hair is fully dry before their appointment. I also think having a little flexibility in the order of appointments when some people are ready earlier could help keep the overall timeline moving smoothly. Because the morning ran longer than expected, my family decided to skip their scheduled touch-ups before our second ceremony because they were worried about falling behind again. We still paid for the touch-up services since the artists had reserved that time, but it was unfortunate that we didn't end up taking advantage of them. Overall, though, Raman is incredibly talented, and I truly loved how I looked throughout my wedding weekend. She was also very receptive when I shared my experience afterward, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Raman to future brides, especially if you build a little extra time into your schedule. Her work speaks for itself, and I felt beautiful on one of the most important weekends of my life.

Update: Ive attached screenshots of when exactly Raman called, and you can see I was texting her…read morethroughout the day. As mentioned I couldn't be on the phone because it was crunch time logistically, as I was handling so many logistics for my brother's event. Still I was texting Raman. After Raman agreed to hold the MUA until 5pm at 1:28pm, she said she Jassi wasn't available at 1:41pm. -------------------------------------------- I want to warn people about this vendor. I hired her for my wedding in 2024 and there were several things that she fell short on: 1. She forgot bobby pins to do my hair...on my wedding. She was my hired makeup and hair artist. So on the day of my wedding when its supposed to be a calm time, unfortunately I had to scramble to go and grab pins from my aunts home. 2. She let me know she would bring fresh flowers for my hair on my wedding day, she also forgot those on the day of my wedding. 3. She placed my small/medium tikka on my head, but unfortunately she did not secure it in a manner that a professional would. On my actual wedding day, when I was bending down to matha tek, my tikka popped off-- which was very embarrassing. 4. She was confused about where we were meeting on the day of my jaggo and for some reason thought that I would be coming to her in Livermore, even though my event was in Merced and we had already discussed that she would be coming to Merced. She was able to make arrangements to come to Merced, but it added additional stress. 5. She talked about herself throughout my hair and makeup, boasting about herself and complimenting herself 6. She asked me why do we need to start so early for hair and makeup on the day of my wedding, and then she herself made me 30 min+ late on the day of my wedding. The redeeming quality about her work is that she is able to work well on brown south asian skin, her skin makeup was soft and dewy (though my eyes were smudged before I even got to my ceremony...which is not normal for me). I am a person that really cares about skin with makeup so against my better judgment, I decided to hire her for myself and my mother for my brother's engagement. This was booked months in advance. Fast forward to May 2026, I get a call from Raman less than 24 hours before the booking. She tells me that her mother-in-law is not well so she won't be able to make it. Then she says she does have a "senior" artist who can replace her. I tell her I'm sorry to hear about the situation with her mother-in-law, I ask her who the senior artist is. She says her name is Jassi.... I asked her what her last name is and Raman said she didn't know. I then asked her if she has an Instagram and then she also said she does not have an Instagram or anywhere that I could see her portfolio. I told her I needed some time to think about it and Raman sent me some pictures that she claimed to be Jassi with no last name's work. (It gets worse) At so late in the game, I was already handling so many logistics for my brother's ceremony. I asked Raman to give me until five to get back to her. She obliged, though she was putting pressure on me stating that "Jassi" wanted to confirm ASAP because she was considering another client. I asked Raman to give me Jassi's contact information, and Raman said that it was too late because Jassi has already booked with another client due to "Jassi" not feeling comfortable because I didnt "trust her." All screenshots are attached. this happened within a matter of 20 minutes, so it's safe to say this is suspicious at best and a blatant lie at worst. Raman's contract states that she will provide a "senior" makeup artist in her absence, she wasn't even able to follow through on that. I took a look at Raman's social media, and I found what happened in reality is that Raman ACTUALLY booked a bride on the day of my event. So her mother-in-law was not ill, Raman actually just wanted to go with the booking that had more pay. I have attached the screenshots below of her working with the other client, multiple vendors also posted her working with the client on the day of my brother's engagement. That being said, I would be weary of this vendor. She is unprofessional and a liar, and no level of artistry can redeem that. The worst part of it all, is she charges luxury prices-- 1100 was what she charged 2 years ago for hair and makeup. Whats the point of charging luxury prices if you dont even have bare minimum professionalism and character? She is the type of person that gives MUA a bad reputation.

Shweta made me look and feel so beautiful-I cannot even describe how amazing the looks were. She really nailed every single one and I was so glad I worked with her because I still felt like myself. She was able to come up with distinct looks for each of the 3 events and all of them were perfect. She also was kind enough to do a look for a young cousin who is into hair and makeup and I think that made her weekend too :) I was very comfortable with Shweta and felt supported by her throughout the process.

Jasmine is professional, prepared, and a true partner on your wedding day…read more I booked Jasmine because her process was clear and straightforward -- no dynamic pricing, no confusing packages. She locked in my date quickly, accommodated a trial reschedule, and even reworked the timeline to include my mom and mother-in-law when they decided last-minute they wanted makeup too. On the day of the wedding, she was calm, focused, and ready for anything. At one point, my dad came into the bridal suite earlier than expected and immediately teared up -- which, of course, got me crying too. Jasmine had already packed up, but she swooped in without hesitation to do a perfect touch-up just before the ceremony. She also helped me feel emotionally ready. I had a breakout leading up to the wedding, and was feeling really anxious about how I'd look in photos. But Jasmine's expertise (and her very reassuring Instagram reels!) made me feel totally confident. You couldn't even see the hyperpigmentation once she worked her magic. As for my mom and MIL -- they rarely wear makeup and weren't quite sure what they wanted, but Jasmine made them both feel comfortable and look radiant. If you're looking for someone talented, reliable, and genuinely invested in helping you feel your best, Jasmine is it.
