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 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!

I cannot say enough good things about Vesta. She absolutely killed it. I have very thin hair and self conscious about it and she made magic happen. Also she made me feel absolutely beautiful with her makeup job. Vesta is not only talented in her craft, she brought me absolute ease on my wedding day. It was like having my favorite auntie in the room with me.

Dear Deena, I am so touched by your words and so grateful that you gave me the opportunity to be part of your day. I am so pleased that I helped to bring what you have envisioned into life. You looked classy, timeless and modern at the same time. I wish you and your husband all the happiness and prosperity and I am sure we will be in touch. Much love!! ❤️
