    Shekiba is amazing!

    Shekiba is a top notch professional makeup artist. I discovered Shekiba through Instagram as I was traveling from Massachusetts to a wedding in DC. She was very responsive and was able to fit me in with such a short notice. I showed her a photo of the makeup I wanted and she recreated it to perfection just like the photo. Her studio was clean, beautiful and professional. my makeup was quick and didn’t take hours unlike my previous experiences with other artists back home. Shekiba is truly a beautiful person inside and out. I wish she travelled to do my wedding she is THAT amazing at her job. I can’t thank her enough! Book with Shekiba you wont regret it!

    Great experience

    Shekiba was a pleasure to work with! She did my makeup & hair for 2 of my events and both were done elegantly. She is personable and super sweet! She also made me coffee and offered my a pastry upon finding out I hadn’t ate. It was very kind of her to do, would highly recommend her!

    One of the most talented people I’ve met

    I hired Shekiba to do my wedding hair and makeup, and I was blow away by the amount of talent she has. I’ve never felt more beautiful in my life, and I owe it all to her.

    Shekiba was always so responsive, kinda, and patient with me. No matter how many times I changed my mind on the hair or makeup look, she always made sure I was happy. I typically never get my hair and makeup done because I worry it won’t look good, but Shekiba absolutely changed my mind.

    If you are looking to get your hair and makeup done for a special day, do not hesitate and just book with her. 🤍🤍🤍

    Beyond amazing

    I’m speechless. Shekiba made me feel like a Queen. Shekiba asked me multiple times about what look I was going for, and my response was the same every single time “I trust you so much with my makeup look I didn't even want to book a trail or look at Pinterest for inspiration.” I sat in her chair and trusted the process. Let me say I was INLOVE with the end results. I never felt so beautiful. I couldn’t stop looking at myself. My husband loved my look as well. Alhumdulilah and MashAllah. Thank you Shekiba for being you & May your hands never hurt. I wish I could get my makeup and hair done by Shekiba every single day. She’s easy to communicate with, she’s on time & she truly makes sure you’re well taken care of. I’m so thankful.

    Wedding Day Hair and Makeup Experience

    I originally found Shekiba on Instagram and I saw all the beautiful makeup and hair transformations on there and I was very eager to work with her and I am so happy to say that her work looks just as beautiful in real life as it does in her Instagram pictures, she was wonderful to work with, she did my hair and makeup and crown setting for my wedding and it turned out absolutely stunning, I came in out of state early morning on the day of my wedding and she accommodated me so well even though the time I wanted was not within her usual hours she was still so sweet and accommodated me and while I was there she did my hair and makeup exactly as I wanted her to do it and she was so kind and sweet throughout the whole process and she gave me many very helpful tips that turned out to be very useful on my wedding day. I got so many compliments and was told by everyone who saw me that I looked so beautiful and therefore I would highly recommend Shekiba for any one who wants to look stunning for an upcoming event.

    Shekiba, the Artiste

    Shekiba did my hair, makeup and dupatta setting for both my mehndi and wedding during labor day weekend. I booked with Shekiba a year out and the process was fairly simple. Over time, we talked about the various looks we’d create, but the true test was really the makeup trial. Remember, Shekiba is extremely talented, and can pretty much give you whatever look you want. It’s on you to tell her what you’re looking for. I’m not a big makeup girl. Most days I’m bare faced. I was pretty nervous to get my makeup done too cakey or too over the top. Shekiba caught onto my needs early on.

    For my mehndi she created a simple, but very fun look with a metallic green eyeliner, ombred with black towards the end, and a bold deep pink lip. She listened to what I wanted A-Z and also created her own flair based on the outfit and my personality. For the wedding, again, since my outfit was big and bold, she suggested a more subdued copper look, with a dark brown liner, and a “nude/brown” lip. She even worked with me to have my hair up during the ceremony and have my hair done for the reception look.
    I cannot thank Shekiba enough for not creating a “one size fits all” look for her brides. You’ll be spending a lot of time with your MUAH person, so make sure it’s a good fit so that your big day goes as planned. Shekiba brings a no-bullshit, get it done energy, which I fully appreciated. Head over to Instagram to check out her full range of work.

    Tips for brides – always account for $$ to be spent on hair extensions, trials, hair bun puffy things, dupatta setting charges, any additional touch-ups you may need from Shekiba, or if you’d like to buy your own, along with your hair and makeup total.

    Best in the business!

    Shekiba did my hair and make up for three events at the end of August. This review has been a long time coming but I must say I LOVE SHEKIBA! She deserves all the praises and more - I cannot say it enough. She is so wonderful to work with - she's patient and works with you to achieve the look of your dreams. Her extensions are amazing and I love her lashes collection. You cannot go wrong with Shekiba! She's the best in the industry :)

    Beyond Amazing

    My wedding was on 07/17 and The best decision I have made was that I hired Shekiba to glam me up. I live in newjersey and my wedding was in Virginia. I had hard time looking for makeup artist and hair stylist and never imagined that one person can do both perfectly! This person was Shekiba! I had my trial with her and on my wedding day, I told her what exactly I want and she did even better!! I asked her for soft glam And I was so happy that she listens, gives recommendations and makes it perfect! I had a feeling that I have a sincere sister taking care of me not just doing her job! My hair and makeup stayed the same the whole night even with the hot weather and with all the dancing the whole night! I would love to recommend Shekiba to everyone because she can do whatever you ask for. ❤️

    Super beautiful inside and out!

    She made me feel so comfortable and I looked like a queen on my wedding day. I couldn’t ask for a more clean, sweet, caring, and passionate make up artist.
    She listen to everything I asked for and went above and beyond to make me feel very comfortable.
    Everybody should book her if you want to look like a queen on your wedding day I couldn’t of asked for a better make up artist!!

She did so good, and was so fun to work with. I loved my mehndi and Shaadi look. The best part was making videos and Tik toks. Shekiba goes above and beyond to make sure her brides are happy.

    Shekiba is the best makeup artist around!

    Shekiba was amazing from start to finish. She was always quick to answer my emails and texts. She stayed touched on the wedding day and did a flawless job on my makeup and hair. She matched the foundation up perfectly and gave me the most beautiful soft glam look. She listened to all my needs and even helped to fix extensions that I had not bought through her. She made me feel like a Queen on my big day and my makeup stayed the entire night! I had zero touch ups! I highly recommend hiring Glam by Shekiba for your wedding day hair and makeup!

    The best in the DMV area

    Words can’t describe how amazing shekiba is. I would say get her to do your makeup before she is booked. Made me feel like a movie star, for compliments from everybody and felt amazing. I get my makeup done a lot, and Shekiba was by far the best

    Great artist!

    Shekiba is a true talented artist who creates MAGIC! She took the time to listen to what my mother and I liked and didn’t like and took every bit of feedback on all to make sure everything looked perfect and natural of our likings. The hair and makeup was stunning and lasted all night long! Overall, I was extremely happy with the results of my make-up on my wedding day! Shekiba went above and beyond and exceeded all of my expectations. Could not recommend Shekiba enough to all the brides!
