    Navpreet is handsdown the best bridal makeup artist in bay area. Moving to the bay i went through makeup trials for my reception and there was nobody that could blend east and west like Navi. She takes her time goes through every little and big details. Because for the bride every detail is "big". From matching to colors to grooms ideas friends coming in she is your person. The quality of her skills is unmatched. Her makeup was flawless! Best decision ever. Thanks Navi.

    Once again Navpreet has delivered ! Makeup and hair is on point! This was for my wedding and I felt so beautiful all day. I didn't have to retouch at all. Eyelashes stayed on and were amazing!. I can't say enough so take a look at the pictures. I also had her do my makeup for my engagement photos and a trial before my wedding. Every time she did my hair and makeup, she moved the bar up a couple of notches beyond my expectations. Thank you so much !!!!

    Bridal hair, makeup and dressing by Navpreet for Punjabi Sikh wedding ceremony at Gurdwara Sahib San Jose
    Joy H.

    For Punjabi Sikh wedding, Ms. Navpreet completed all the bridal hair and makeup for my Sangeet Mehendi event, Ceremony Anand Karaj at Gurdwara, and Wedding Reception. Navpreet is able to transform the client's appearance and make her look like a amazing goddess or beautiful queen. She is very experienced with Indian bridal hair and makeup in particular, including dressing, jewelry, and dupatta setting, which is all included in her fee. Navpreet also has assistants / team, so I recommend her for both bride and bridal party (mother, sisters, maid of honor, bridesmaids, etc), so that the other women can also get amazing hair and makeup. Navpreet is very skilled at hair and makeup, and she is professional and always reliable --- she came to my house at 4:30 AM in the morning in order to have me ready for the morning Anand Karaj ceremony at the Sikh Gurdwara and be on-time --- so I recommend her for all wedding events for bridal hair and makeup, and the client will have one less thing to worry about! In my particular experience, Navpreet and her assistant did the hair and makeup for my sister and niece, and makeup only for my other sister and mother; everyone looked so beautiful and transformed, and this was only more clearly seen in the photographs that we viewed later, after the wedding events. My hair, makeup, dress and dupatta were all perfectly executed for the ceremony at the Sikh Gurdwara, and nothing budged or moved out of place, the makeup lasted all day perfectly, the only thing I had to do was re-apply lip color after eating lunch and dinner. I requested matte makeup (as personally, I always prefer classic makeup looks, not the trendy shiny highlighter look) with a hairstyle specifically I designed and wanted with my matha patti head piece, which I had to convince her to do, but was worth it, and looked amazing! The makeup is unquestionably of the highest quality and skill. When I had my full bridal makeup trial, we finished in the morning, and my makeup lasted into the evening when I attended a holiday party, so I can really attest to the quality and durability of Navpreet's makeup, it's excellent! Again, Navpreet is professional and always reliable --- she came to my house at 4:30 AM in the morning so that I would be ready be on-schedule. The reason that I am giving Navpreet only 4 stars is because, for all her professional skill, she has an overall antagonistic "cannot do" attitude and frequently negative interpersonal communications; she is dismissive of ideas as a default although she can be gradually convinced with enough reasonable effort from the client; and Navpreet shows almost zero enthusiasm for bridal hair and makeup, which puts her in stark contrast to all my other wedding vendors for henna, nail art, decor, flowers, dress design, tailoring, and invitation design, as those vendors at least were happy to do the work (or feigned happiness for the sake of the bride and groom, which is fine as well), and interested in the client's ideas even if those ideas were not entirely feasible, and generally, those vendors showed enthusiasm for supporting the bride and groom, and making the wedding a success. Navpreet appeared to show no enthusiasm or enjoyment in the work, she was often annoyed when I asked if we could make certain small reasonable modifications, and she just was often unwilling to meet halfway in many minor situations, which were ultimately resolved no harm no foul, but this continued until the wedding reception day, when Navpreet was very reluctant to help with my 73-year-old mom who needed a little volume in her very short gray hair, Navpreet said she could not help, she did not have a round brush needed, then I offered to send someone to buy the brush, and Navpreet still defaulted to no, I finally said "I'll buy the brush and pay you extra money, please work with me!". My tolerance for negative people is generally high in public spheres, social settings, and even when in a salon for hair cut, facial or waxing, even then, I can tolerate negative persons; but for my own wedding which is a special time for a bride, I think it is reasonable to want to be around someone who is excited and supportive about the experience. Understandably, it is not part of Navpreet's contractual agreement to be positive and enthusiastic, and all of her responsibilities as bridal hair and makeup artist were completely fulfilled, and I paid for all the services and I tipped several hundred in gratuity because I respect Navpreet for all the skill, hard work, and professionalism she brings. I just wish that I had known ahead of time (before hiring and paying deposits), and I would just advise future clients to be aware of this, especially brides, and consider how or if it might affect the morale while getting ready in the morning for the wedding event(s).

    Navpreet did my hair and makeup for my wedding! She did an amazing job and I couldn't have been happier. She was great to work with. Responded right away, had a straight forward booking process, and was very professional. She made my skin look great for pictures and my makeup held up all day! Book her now for your event!

    Navpreet is absolutely amazing! I worked with her this past weekend for a special project. She is punctual, professional with a sweet personality - everything you want in a MUA. She did a full face of makeup which lasted all day with no touch ups. Her work is an example of her expertise from over the years while incorporating current makeup trends. She also added beautiful waves to my hair which held all day and night. I felt super confident all day and my makeup and hair showcased flawlessly on camera. I would not hesitate to book her again whenever I need a MUA in the SJ area.

    I found Ann on Instagram because I was looking for a hair and makeup artist for my wedding. I…read morereached out to other artists but ended up picking her because she had 20+ years experience in the makeup industry. Another thing that stuck out when I was deciding was when she said she has an eye when it comes to what product looks good on her clients. She also encouraged me to look at her past clients to get a feel of what I wanted for myself. I scheduled a trial with her at her studio in Sunnyvale because I was taking engagement pictures that same day and also wanted to get a feel of how I was going to look for my big day. She arrived on time and we both hit it off very quickly. She asked to see a picture of how I normally do my makeup before she worked her magic. She didn't encourage inspo makeup pictures because she said every face/skin type is different, but she did ask for hair inspo pictures. I really appreciated her expertise since I am not a makeup guru. Not only did she make me feel beautiful, I still looked like myself. The day of my wedding, she came to my house at 6am to make sure I had enough time before my tea ceremony at 10am. Her other colleague also came because my 2 bridesmaids and my mom needed their hair and makeup done. Ann was calm and took her time to make sure she nailed the look. My eyes aren't even so she put tape to make it look as perfect as possible. She kept saying that one eye looked bigger but it wasn't a big deal for me. At the end of the session, I was shocked that I could look that stunning!!! Everyone complimented on my hair and makeup that day. I am so glad I found Ann to be part of my special day. She is extremely professional and easy to work with. I hope she continues to make every woman feel as beautiful as she made me feel!!

She was wonderful to work with day-of. Would definitely recommend her.

I went to another artist for a trial but felt like she wasn't able to execute what I was asking for.

She is super knowledgable and experienced, and you can clearly see her skill through the wide range of looks she does so well. I knew that whatever look I had in mind, I was confident Chau would be able to execute it perfectly. We met for my hair and makeup trial about a year and a half before my wedding day. Chau was super responsive and helpful throughout the entire time I worked with her, starting from my inquiry. I showed her inspiration photos for my trial, and the look she did for me was exactly what I was looking for. A year and a half later, for my actual wedding, I changed my mind and had a different look I wanted to do. I had new inspiration photos to show Chau but also wasn't quite sure about how dark I wanted my eyeshadow or how heavy I wanted my eyelashes to be. Chau was super helpful and patient with me, and she even customized lashes to fit what I was hoping for perfectly. At the very end of the night around 4am, I was sad to take off my makeup and wash my hair because I loved it so much. I didn't even touch up any of my makeup or hair at any point after she finished it in the morning. I couldn't have been happier with working with Chau and with all of the looks she created for me. She's also so fun to talk to and made my trial and wedding morning so enjoyable. Chau will give you the exact look you want, and I would recommend Chau to every single person looking for a hair and makeup artist!
