Harshalani Makeup and Hair

Harsha is amazing to work with! She was so collaborative during the makeup trial, making sure I was happy with the look and making adjustments accordingly. During my wedding, she made me look so flawless and natural, I did not have to worry at all about my makeup. She brings a calm presence which is much appreciated and nailed all the looks. I am super particular about my lipstick not being too bright, and she nailed the natural but better look. Thank you Harsha for being so great to work with and making me feel incredible!

She was supposed to drape Sarees and last minute told me that she was not going to be able to provide that service and I had to run around to find a new vendor. And finding someone to drape sarees here in Austin was not easy. Her pricing is not the same as it is posted here on Wedding Wire so she upcharged me. I did the hair and makeup preview and I had to drive 30+ minutes to someone's home which did not have a proper hair studio. I was supposed to have the hair and makeup trial as back-to-back services but I had to drive another 30 minutes away to get my makeup done without the gate or the apartment number where I was supposed to get my makeup done then I had to waste an hour waiting for the makeup appointment when I told they were back to back. She didn't include all line items in the total for the pricing. So even though I paid the total payment at the bottom, she called me just hours before another ceremony that I was preparing for to tell me that the total at the bottom of the invoice/contract didn't include all line items and I needed to make another payment. Lastly, since the lady rushed through everyone's hair throwing off the schedule, I had one guest who wanted to get her hair done which we had ample time for and she spent 5 minutes on that person's hair which is supposed to be a 45-minute service. She texted me after the wedding trying to collect a full payment and I told her I would be happy to pay the hair service provider directly since I entered into the agreement with the hairdresser and not her. Overall, she is just skimming off the top of actual service providers' work and not doing a good job coordinating it either. I have had many wonderful Vendors that I found on Wedding Wire for the event but this was far from it. If you are looking for a good hair vendor this is not a good choice.

Harsha and her team are THE BEST beauty team out there! Harsha is professional, kind, friendly, and INCREDIBLE at what she does! She was always very communicative throughout the process of me getting trial beauty makeup and hair done for engagement photos and bridal photos, and then to scheduling hair and makeup for my close family/bridal party. Everything turned out great-my friends and family loved her and her team that came to help the day of the wedding, and everyone looked FLAWLESS! My makeup was the perfect "daytime-glam-natural" look I wanted and stayed on ALL night despite a lot of *happy* tears and sweating from the dance floor. My hair also stayed perfect all night despite all of the movement. I never felt "caked on" with makeup or anything either-Harsha is truly a miracle worker! If you are reading this review considering booking her and her team...this is your sign to do it!! :)

Three words: Harsha is amazing! She did 1.) a bridal preview session, 2.) hair and makeup for me on my wedding day, and 3.) hair and makeup for me, my mom and my sister on the day of my reception party. From start to finish across the three days of services, she was professional, punctual, collaborative, considerate, and efficient. She took the tentative ideas I had for each look and helped elevate them to reality. Her makeup work was immaculate: it looked fantastic in real life and the photos, and stayed comfortably in place the whole time. She encouraged us to have fun with eyelashes, color and sparkle and other festive additions that I'd never tried before, and even tastefully arranged our jewelry and dupattas at the end. I was wearing a sari one day and a lehenga the other, and just felt so fortunate to have found someone who relates to and can execute both Indian and American tastes and looks. As she worked, she spoke to me the whole time with the deepest compassion and kindness, and thoughtfully uplifted my confidence and self-esteem ahead of these big events. I felt such a lovely, trusting connection with Harsha. She does beautiful work, grounded in practicality and humanity, and I highly recommend her!

I can't say enough great things about Harsha. She is so talented and really is an artist. Harsha did my makeup and hair for my bridal photoshoot, indian wedding and american wedding. She was so responsive and easy to work with. Harsha was professional and so much fun to be around through the process of 3 events. I loved working with her and feel so lucky I found her from a friend who also had a great experience. You won't be disappointed if you choose Harshalani Makeup and Hair! And wow, it was so great having someone who can do Indian and American makeup and hair flawlessly.
