About Me

I’m so happy you’re here and I get to share my journey as a makeup artist and hair stylist with you!
Hi πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ‘‹πŸ» I’m Minali, a bridal beauty makeup artist & hair stylist owner of Minali Akhud.

Let’s go back to the beginning
My passion for hair and makeup started at an early age. Coming from a country that is full of culture, color, and tradition, I found that the face is a perfect canvas to reflect that. I have taken my passion to the next step through countless hours of training with the very best to build Minali Akhud.

I started my professional life as an engineer in the manufacturing world, but my interest and curiosity of hair and makeup began to take hold in 2002 after coming to the US and living in New York City (one of the global fashion capitals of the world).

Over the next couple of years, I trained under professional guidance and schools that specialized in bridal, casual makeup, editorial makeup, and hairstyling to hone my craft.

β€œIt was important for me to train under professionals before I could call myself a professional. During that time, my skills taught me how to make anyone look beautiful in their own way. I not only enhance their beauty but boost their confidence as well.”

β€œThe makeup is very colorful, dramatic, and glamorous to coordinate with elaborate outfits and jewelry,” I also relish the opportunity to work with different people who have different desires to enhance their appearance. It forces me to come up with the best way to fulfill their desires.

My approach to makeup is like doing a watercolor painting. I allow the skin and the women’s special loveliness to shine through by finding the right product to enhance each client’s natural beauty.

β€œI believe that looking good starts and ends with feeling beautiful from within, and makeup is simply the reflection of that beauty.”

For Minali Akhud, growing as an artist, a business owner, and as a person takes conscious effort and dedication to work with #bridesbyminali

Thank you so much, everyone for your love & continued support πŸ™.
