Timsi is just what you need to bring your bridal hair and makeup vision to life. I do not wear makeup at all and so I was very nervous about how i would look on the wedding day. I set up a trial with her after not so successful 3 trials and had...
almost lost hope of finding the right fit. She hears you out patiently and asks you details that normally no other artist would ask, it ensures that you do the research and homework before you meet her so you have clarity on what you want as a gazillion different looks out there can make you all confused and indecisive. She never imposes her choices on you, she asks you multiple times if you feel comfortable and if she is heading the route of what you had in mind. She is easy going and knows her art way too well! I highly recommend her to all those brides to be out there who are nervous about how they would look, Timsi will be sure to take care of you all!!

ome. They come so well prepared with some of them carrying their own lights, chairs, power cords, tables and it almost feels like you are in some Hollywood set. They also offer to play up some music to calm those jittery nerves, joke around and make you feel super comfortable. Timsi worked on me (the bride) and was able to create the exact same vision I had in mind. She used extensions and airbrush on me, we tried that at her super elaborate trial and it was more than what I had expected. Her studio is super cute, she write down notes, makes face charts and on the day of the wedding shows up with a big broad smile on her face. Her station is super neat, uncluttered and she is big on sanitation, you can totally see that trickle down to her team as well. Over all if there was a way to give her more than 5, I'd do that in a heartbeat - that's how brilliant she is!!!

variables on the wedding day that could affect the timeline significantly. She has a well rounded approach, infact she guides and makes sure that you think through every tiny detail on the wedding day to ensure a smooth ride. Her trials are extremely detailed backed with a bunch of forms and research that she'd expect you to do prior to your trial day. On the trial day, she does the entire application in detail, gives feedback, hears you out and make notes with photos to prepare herself for the wedding day. Her personality calms you down and ensures you feel your absolute best without any jitters. I hired her for my 5 events and every look was a story in itself, i got a ton of compliments and she made it an experience of a lifetime for me to remember. My husband was wowed by all my looks and felt i didnt look like a porcelain doll, infact just a more glamorous version of myself. Thank you Timsi for all that you did! You rock :)

I came across Timsi's website back in April when I was looking for a makeup artist for my low key, low budget wedding. I love doing my own makeup and was skeptical if I should even hire someone to do it for my wedding day. But after going back ...
and forth a few times with her on the phone, I finally told her I wanted to hire her. One thing I love about her was that every time I talked to her, she never made me feel pressured to hire her services. She was understanding of the fact that I was a full time student with a very small wedding budget. She did a trial about a month before the wedding at her house and on the wedding day, she came to my house to help me get ready. She was so sweet and helpful (Plus, she gave me some tips on doing my own makeup which I really appreciated). Everyone loved my makeup on my wedding day and I love looking at all my pictures from that day. It was worth the money I spent. I am so glad I found her and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist. Timsi, I loved working with you and I wish the best for you as you leave the bay area and start over in SoCal! God bless you!

I am very very picky and for every little adjustment I wanted to make, she listened to me, provided her professional feedback and then ultimately let me decide if I was satisfied. I have come across many make-up artists that will try to tell you something looks good when in reality you are very uncomfortable. Timsi did not do that to me. She was not satisfied until I was happy with the outcome! She made me feel comfortable and delivered exactly what I was looking for. She was also honest if something I wanted wasn’t realistic. I appreciated that on my big day as I look back at the pictures and am very happy with the outcome! Timsi is also responsive and in a timely manner.

attest, not all of them are that responsive, but Timsi always replied to emails quickly and answered my questions thoroughly. She has a variety of bridal packages to fit different budgets & wedding timelines. I hired her for a full day to do both hair & makeup for my wedding ceremony, and then a makeup touchup and different hairdo for my reception. I had a rough idea of the look I wanted for my wedding & reception, but she asked lots of questions which really helped me to think about the details that went into creating the look. If you can afford it, I highly recommend doing a trial session with her. Not only was it a lot of fun, but it also was really helpful to see the look "live" and make tweaks. Timsi had lots of helpful suggestions, and was very patient and really listened to my input. I requested a few changes to the look after our trial, and she was very responsive to my feedback and flexible about making all the adjustments I requested. On the day of my wedding, she was prompt, friendly & upbeat, and put me at ease. The end result was stunning. I felt like the most beautiful version of myself, which was exactly what I wanted. I didn't want to have so much makeup on that I couldn't recognize myself any more (my daily makeup is very minimal). Timsi accomplished that, and I got tons of compliments on both my hair & makeup all day long. If you've made it to the end of this review, thanks for reading. I would highly recommend hiring Timsi for your bridal hair & makeup. You'll be happy you did!

Both looks came out perfectly on the days of! I was happy about two things: 1. She had made extensive notes and drew out exactly what I had wanted on a paper outline of my face based on our discussions at the trial.

The miracles weren't temporary either: my makeup held up perfectly until the end of both events, despite some very sweaty dancing at the Sangeeth and some serious sunny/windy conditions at the outdoor wedding. Bravo! In addition to being an exceptionally talented artist, Timsi is a joy to work with. She showed up early for both events (with wedding prep time starting at 6:30 am!) and was incredibly calm and kind throughout the process-even in the chaos of the bridal suite turning into a 40 person sari draping center.

I was on the verge of tears and at my wits end. And then a miracle happened…Timsi Malhotra! Her bright smile, professionalism, and compassion welcomed me back into the joy all brides should have when preparing for the biggest day of their lives. Timsi listened to all my concerns with an open mind and made me feel heard. She took my requests to heart and gently educated me about her artistry. She knew how to balance my vision with what would look best for photographs. Timsi is an incredibly intelligent artist with a depth of knowledge and experience with wedding styling. Furthermore, she is such a kind person who really makes a bride feel protected. I truly felt that she was looking out for me and absolutely wanted to make me feel and look beautiful. Her makeup and hair styling were flawless. She gave me great advice and at the end of that trial I looked and felt amazing. That feeling was surpassed on my wedding day. Timsi arrived early and well prepared. She went to work and styled me just like our trial. She helped me with my duputta setting and jewelry…also areas I had no knowledge about. Timsi is an intelligent artist who knows her field. She has the experience and expertise to tackle all situations. Furthermore, she has the professionalism and kindness to make any bride feel relaxed and taken care of. I truly felt that she was looking out for me and wanted me to look and feel my best. I walked down the aisle feeling wonderful. My friends and family were stunned by my transformation. As I look back now at my wedding, the best decision I made of the whole event was hiring Timsi! She was the most professional vendor and made the biggest impact on the joy of my wedding because she made me feel amazing. I would give her 10 stars if I could. She is a blessing to any bride. Without hesitation, I recommend Timsi to any bride. Thank you Timsi!!!!

I found Timsi through Yelp and am so happy I did so! I booked her for my wedding in October and had a phenomenal experience working with her. She was very responsive via email and phone and always responded to any questions or concerns I have. ...
She was very professional and organized and I trusted her completely to give me the exact look I want on the day of my wedding. She took out 4 hours one morning to do a full trial to me and go over the natural wedding look I wanted to ensure I was happy on the day of. She had offered to look at my outfits to make sure everything matches and kept sending me ideas and new makeup types as the days got closer. Timsi took her time the day of my wedding to ensure that my ceremony makeup and outfit draping was perfect! She gave me a completely new look in no time for the reception! The comments I got at the wedding were out of this world and people kept asking who did my hair and makeup. Timsi made me feel like a perfect bride, listened to exactly what I wanted and I couldnt have been happier. If you want someone who is reliable, professional, has a very natural style and a very easy going, fun person to work with, definitely book Timsi!

h with Timsi! She is very attentive to details and is creative in bringing out the best in you. I'm not very knowledgeable about hair and make up, and by just showing her some photos and just indicating what I sort of liked, she created the most amazing looks for me! She is also sooo friendly, fun and accommodating. I got SO MANY compliments for both my wedding and reception look, I can't wait for the photos!! I felt so special on the big day, largely thanks to Timsi. She stayed on for 8 hours for me through the ceremony & reception change at a reasonable price too, and her make up assistant (Abhilasha) was wonderful for my bhabi and mother as well. Highly, highly recommend TM's Makeup Artistry, you're in for a treat

We had the privilege of working with Timsi and her team on a two day event at the end of August and her work was absolutely beautiful! She kept everyone on time, calm and having fun. The first day was a traditional Mehndi and the second day was...

She took pictures of hair and makeup that I found on Pinterest and was able to recreate them perfectly. Even when I had a few suggestions for changes to the hair and makeup she was so accommodating and did not take offense. On the day of the wedding she showed up right on time with her beauty team, and got straight to work. Timsi was so calming to be around, and did a phenomenal job with both my hair and makeup. I thought the trial was amazing, but the actual product was just stunning! I also want to speak to her beauty team that worked on my bridesmaids and the two moms. They did a phenomenal job as well! All of the girls looked so beautiful, and they were able to accomplish the looks that each girl wanted. They were all very friendly and professional. I highly recommend TM's Makeup Artistry for any event you might need hair and makeup for!

TM's MakeUp Artistry was fantastic to work with. Timsi was professional, knowledgable, and immediately puts you at ease. Also, her products are great - we were in an open-air vehicle that went through a tunnel and the false eyelashes never fell...
off! She was really great about creating and understanding the "look" I was going for, and also was very helpful about recommending vendors for other things I hadn't secured yet. She was also super flexible and agreed to do the make up for my mother less than a week beforehand! For absolutely full disclosure, the only downside was that due to Bay Area traffic she was a little late (<10 minutes), but that was literally the only not-glowing thing I could say about Timsi and such a small factor in our general experiences with her.

Hi Leah - I appreciate you leaving this review, because it has given me a chance not only to fill in key facts that you have hidden, but also provide important information to my future clients. First of all, Leah, I am a small business, and li...
ke any other small business, I get several inquiries, and I can and do not hold dates unless there is a firm commitment and agreement from both myself and client. As you can imagine, brides often like to shop around before finalizing any vendor - as they rightly should. You inquired with me on 1/3, and I responded promptly on 1/4. I did not hear back from you thereafter until my reminder on 1/17. After that, I followed up with you on 1/28, then 2/1 and 2/4. Towards the end of February, given multiple reminders, as anyone would agree, I felt that it was safe for me to assume you had finalized another makeup artist. Then, suddenly on 2/28 - a full 24 days later - I received another email from you, by which time, another client - who indeed contacted me in December (i.e. before you) - booked me for that date, by signing the contract and paying the advance payment needed to hold the date. In none of our exchanges did we get to talk about advance payment. In fact, in my email to you on 2/4, I requested that we draw up and finalize the contract - which is penultimate to payment and holding of dates. Despite all that, I continued to offer you solutions and other suggestions, and I was shocked by your non-receptiveness, lack of understanding, and downright resentment. Although this is a standard and typical business practice - of not blocking a date based on a mere inquiry, I have categorically discussed it in the FAQ section of my website. Our exchange has also prompted me to add an additional disclaimer to the bottom of all my emails. My request to Leah and all of my potential clients is that if you feel strongly about a vendor, please take the extra step to book them if there is availability and you have reasonable understanding. I feel it is unfortunate, unreasonable and unethical to expect me - or any business - to commit to and hold a spot for over a month without a response, and I feel utterly disappointed to be accused of being unprofessional - professionalism is something that me and my brand take an immense pride in. Best, Timsi Malhotra

y loved her work as displayed on yelp and her website, so I had my mind set on her :) and I had my first conversation with her. Right from our first conversation till today, she has been professional, welcoming and friendly at all times. She is pretty flexible with all the needs. - She understands and helps scheduling/rescheduling appointment date and times based on how busy we get with wedding prep. - She understands last minute delays and running errands for wedding prep and adjusts accordingly. - She understands the last minute 's panic and anxiety and she takes care of you like anything. The best part about her is she knows what she is doing. So, you can totally rely on her for your main day :). - She is systematic and super organized with her work. She will send you documents well before hand that helps you to be prepared for trial sessions as well as for the main day make up. - She knows what would suit your skin the best. - She realizes based on your hair length and texture, what kind of hairstyle would suit your face and dress. - She keeps asking about how we feel about the make up and hairstyle to consider the bride’s comfort zone at all times. I had lovely experience getting my bridal make done by her and I would recommend her to all the couples out there that are looking for bridal services and packages. She is simply the best. Thanks once again Timsi for everything :).

of her services before and was used to working with referrals only. Her responses to my requests were incredibly prompt and thorough, her advice was sound, and she follows your vision to the T. She did my hair and makeup and I got compliments all evening for it. We gave her a picture of what my mom wanted for her hair and she was able to mimic it and make it look even better than the picture! I think that goes to show how dedicated she is to ensuring her client's happiness with the end result. I think my favorite part about her is her cleanliness. She never double dips, she always uses new brushes, she sanitizes everything, and she uses professional products. I have gotten my makeup done so many times, but she is by far the cleanest and neatest professional I have worked with. I fully intend to book her services again and recommend her for future brides!
