Karishma Beauty Salon

Karishma Beauty Salon has been in business for 20 years and is located at 11818 186th Street in Artesia. It is a full-service salon with a focus on Indian beauty services, covering everyday salon work alongside bridal services for weddings and events.

Salon services include new hairstyles in traditional or contemporary looks, and hair up-dos for special occasions. Blow dry is not part of the hair service. Face and body services include facials chosen to suit skin type, threading that removes hair with a thin twisted cotton thread, and waxing with a home-made sugar wax made from natural ingredients and free of chemicals and artificial preservatives.

Bridal services include henna designs that blend traditional, Arabic and modern styles, made from all-natural, home-made henna with no added chemicals or preservatives. Bridal make-up and hair is done with the salon bringing all needed cosmetics and equipment to the client. The Karishma Bridal Package includes one make-up look, one hair look and one sari draping, with faux eyelash application, bridal bindis and help putting on jewelry included or available on request. The Karishma Bridal Premier Package includes two make-up looks, two hair looks and two sari draping sessions for the wedding and reception, with airbrush make-up, faux eyelashes and bridal bindis available on request. The Premier package is listed from $399, while bridal packages are otherwise priced after a consultation, so clients are asked to contact the salon first.

Walk-ins are welcome Tuesday through Thursday from 11am to 6pm and Friday through Sunday from 11am to 7pm; the salon is closed on Mondays. Cancellations need to be made at least 24 hours before the appointment, and shorter-notice cancellations are charged in full. The salon describes its quality of service as high.

Facial treatments and waxing lean on herbal and natural products, with home-made sugar wax and henna made without added chemicals or preservatives.
