About
* Hi dear Client, before telling you more about myself. Please note that the prices are sent out automatically by Thumbtack based on the exact numbers and services you are entering into the questionnaire boxes. Rates for Hair Styling and Makeup are separate, and the initial quote you receive from Thumbtack Automatically is just a quote for makeup or hair ONLY. It is Not for both services together even though you may ask for both services in the description box. As a result, the prices are higher for both hairstyling and makeup services. Rates vary based on the season and higher inflation and Thumbtack marketing fees. However, I do my best to work within your budget and offer reasonable rates. The dates are sent out based on the availability in my calendar.* I am also very experienced with South Asian makeup and hair styling, but Do Not provide draping services.* With my years of experience on TV sets and working with celebrities,high profile personalities, and many brides of all cultural backgrounds , I have gained extensive knowledge with many different complexions, skin types, and hair textures. I will make sure you are going to look absolutely fabulous leaving my chair for your wedding, formal / special occasions, or photo/video shoot with a great sense of satisfaction. I will listen to your needs, give my 100%, and offer you high-quality service for great prices. For large groups, I offer discounted packages and work with skilled professional team members for additional charges, which are highly recommended. Traveling is free in NYC except tolls and mileage for long-distance drive. Trials are also available for flat rates, and I will provide them in my studio or for extra $40 traveling fees + any toll fees to your location . I highly encourage you to ask specific questions if you are interested in learning more about my services. If I don't respond right away, I am probably working with a client and will get back to you as soon as I am finished with my work. Can't wait to hear from you!!

Vesta is an absolute gem. I couldn’t be more happier with my daughter’s hair and makeup. She nailed it and my daughter’s hair is very curly and thick. She replicated both the hairstyle and makeup. I am so grateful for her. We will be using her again.

Details: Prom / formal • 18 - 25 years old • Airbrushed makeup (spray tool) • 1 person • My home, venue, etc.

Dear Jeanine! Thank you so much for the beautiful review!! It was such a pleasure working with you and Maya for her prom! Maya has the most gorgeous thick, curly hair, and I wanted to make sure every single curl looked absolutely perfect for her special night. She truly looked stunning! I would love to work with your family again in the future. Thank you again for having me to be part of Maya's getting ready process and meeting all the family members and the pooches!!

Vesta was amazing, she showed up exactly when she said she would and spent almost 4 hrs taking care of my daughter and myself for her communion. Our hair styles came out perfect and just as I wanted. Vesta was so friendly and professional. I will definitely be using her again for other special occasions. Thank you again Vesta for every thing you've done.

Vesta made me look like a princess to attend my cousin's wedding! She was very reasonably priced and came to my home to help me get ready. She was extremely nice and responsive to all my questions while booking. The day of, Vesta arrived punctually and made me feel at ease with my hair and makeup. We were done exactly at the time I requested and had such a great conversation getting to know each other. I got so many compliments from friends and family about my look!

Vesta did an amazing job with my and my bridal party’s hair on my wedding day! From our first meeting at the trial session I knew that she was the right choice for me. Vesta is extremely friendly, kind, and talented, and was a joy to have in the room as we got ready on the big day. With just a quick description of what I was looking for she gave me exactly what I had in mind and made me feel so regal!! She made my mother, maid of honor, and bridesmaids’ hair look amazing too, and gave them each a style that suited them. Vesta also pivoted quickly to redo my maid of honor’s hair when she changed her mind about the style, and still finished with plenty of time to spare. My whole bridal party loved her energy and was so happy with their looks! Thanks Vesta!

Details: Wedding • 5 people • Veil • Pre-event hair trial • My home, venue, etc.
