I would highly recommend booking with Malavika! She and Swetha did my hair, makeup and sari draping for my traditional Indian baby shower and I could not be happier with how the look turned out! Malu is very professional, talented and flexible- she goes above and beyond to make sure you’re happy with your look and ready on time for your event. It’s hard to find experienced South Asian MUAs- but Malu is one of them! So thankful to her!

Malu did my daughters makeup and hair for her junior prom. She was super professional, great communication, on time and so easy to work with. Not only that, the makeup and hair was beautiful! My daughter looked amazing and we had a really great experience with Malu!
