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 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!

Vesta did an absolutely amazing job glamming me and my mom on my wedding day! From the moment we met her, she was so warm, kind, and attentive to every little detail. She really took the time to listen to how I envisioned myself on my special day, and she brought that vision to life perfectly. I received so many compliments from family and friends — everyone said how beautiful and radiant we looked! One of the sweetest moments was when my mom got teary-eyed, and Vesta gently comforted her, reminding us that those tears were happy ones. It was such a touching and memorable moment. Thank you, Vesta, for not only making us look beautiful but for making us feel truly special. You have such a gift — both in your artistry and your heart! 💕

Details: Wedding • 45 - 64 years old • Standard (brushes, sponges, etc.) • False lashes • 2 people • My home, venue, etc.

Dearest Claire, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this unbelievably kind and thoughtful review. Reading your words truly made my day. Getting to be a part of your wedding was an absolute joy. The moment with your mom is one I will always cherish—it was such a genuine and beautiful expression of love, and I was so honored to be there for it. Thank you for trusting me with your vision and allowing me to play a small part in making you both feel as elegant and radiant as you looked. Wishing you and your husband a lifetime of happiness and love! With all my best,

Vesta was WONDERFUL, i felt and looked like a princess, and the day of makeup lasted from when we wrapped up mid afternoon until past midnight! She also helped me do a bun/updo that could be let down to a half up/half down whenever I wanted so I get the best of both worlds. Really funny and talented!
