About

Glam by Asia began in Hollywood, Los Angeles, where it served brides, event guests and photoshoots. The business later moved to Gainesville, Virginia, and now serves brides across the DMV, with the studio in Gainesville and travel to clients in the surrounding areas.

The business is run by Asia Usmani, whose makeup career began at CHANEL. Usmani has also taken on destination weddings abroad, where she styles hair and applies makeup for wedding brides and the families around them.

Bridal Makeup includes skin prep, custom makeup and lashes. Bridal and Event Hair covers updos, Hollywood waves, retro waves, sleek looks and extension installs. South Asian Bridal covers traditional and modern looks built with dupatta, veil and jewelry setting from the client's inspiration photos. Soft Glam, Full Glam and Cut Crease are available for events, and non-bridal hair and makeup is offered for guests, bridal parties, showers, birthdays, Eid, graduations and photoshoots. One-on-one makeup lessons are also offered at the studio.

Pricing is custom to each booking, based on the number of people, events, services, trials and a travel fee that depends on distance. A 25% deposit secures the date, and the balance is due after the service. The client reviews the finished look before the artist leaves.

Each look starts with a skin prep routine and is built in thin layers so the makeup looks smooth up close and holds under camera flash.
