Lani Bashh

Very professional and punctual. She’s willing to come to your location which is alot of helps when having kids. Definitely will recommend her and will be using her services again.

I admit I was a bit leery when I decided to hire someone off of facebook, but I took a chance. With 10 years of experience and gone through 2 different beauty programs, I felt confident that Lani would be at the very minimum suitable for my needs. I requested a simple hairdo for my daughter and hair and makeup for myself for a beach photo shoot. My previous family photo shoots were a bit of a waste since I had no professional makeup or hairstyling. I refuse to waste another one.
Lani came 10 minutes earlier than requested so she could set up shop. Her husband helped deliver the directors chair and the smörgåsbord of beauty supplies needed to do her magic. Lani makes it a habit of sanitizing all her brushes and sharpens all pencils to keep everything as bacteria free as possible. That’s a great comfort to me as I am a hygienist by trade, thus cleanliness is my highest priority.
She started with my face by moisturizing and priming it. She followed up with neutral, yet shimmery colors. I wanted to look beach sexy, not a bride. She read my mind and gave me a wonderful subdued, glamorous beachy look. I asked her to contour my face a bit but I had a feeling she was going to anyway.
After doing the finishing touches of my makeup, she began curling my hair and gave me a bit of volume. For my daughter, she thought it best to add some curls and a small braid across the top for a bit of flair. I asked her not to spray any hair spray on her hair for fear of her inhaling extra chemicals. That may have been a mistake on my part since her curls loosened up too quickly from the moisture of the ocean.
There were small areas of my hair and makeup that I wanted to change and Lani was more than happy to change them. You could tell that this was her passion and she thoroughly enjoyed making others their prettiest!
Should you decide to hire her, give her an hour for makeup and another hour for hair. She is quite a perfectionist and won’t stop until you both are happy. Her rates are more than reasonable especially compared to others on this island who aren’t half as talented. Because she was trained in California where I’m from, I feel she has a fresh, different take on beauty compared to all the other girls who went to the same cosmetology programs on this island. It’s nice to stand apart from all the rest.
