Ritika Grover

If only there was a rating lower than 1. I had my wedding this December in Lonavala (10-11) and basis the reviews and instagram I reached out to Ritika Grover. Since the trials went fine we shortlisted her to not only do my (bridal) hair and makeup but also for the siders (which includes my sister, mum, bhabhi). But the experience was so sooo bad. She was extremely unprofessional, not punctual and had more nakhras than the bride, few of which are listed below 1. She was late for my Sangeet makeup. Since the venue was in Lonavala I had sent my car and driver to pick her and her team up at 11 AM from pune, with strict instructions that the driver will pick all of you up from one place as it would be difficult for him to go around picking everyone up and obviously we will be late However she did the exact opposite of what was told and made him run around shamelessly all over the city making him do multiple pickups.. Not only did she come 2 hours late to the venue she made him do another pickup at lonavla itself. All of this leading to me being ready for my Sangeet 2 hours late. The siders poor people couldn't get ready on time and their makeup and hair wasn't Done properly. I myself was disappointed by my hair and makeup it was soo gaudy and made me look unnatural. I can't even look at my pictures it was that bad. I paid money for literally looking bad. For siders she got 2 artists who were literally useless, I mean I could do a better job than them. When my sis asked for beach waves she crimped her hair instead and said this is wat we can do.. Baki makeup nothing literally nothing was done. 2. We had set up the food etc downstairs for her and the team as our guests which she could have joined, but instead she went around ordering my sis for food, chai coffee to be sent to her room for her and her team( which was absolutely untouched) and mind with all varieties thats displayed down 3. On the main wedding day, she was constantly asking me for the payment to be done.. I said I will do it.. But she had a bride that evening too so she was in a hurry all the time. After my makeup she literally fled from the venue without finishing the siders looks. As usual they were again at a loss. With only a part of the hair done as there was a car waiting outside to drop them I regret spending so much money on this while I could've have gotten something better and of value from that money. There is an option here to "add photos", honestly I'm embarrassed. Just a humble request to be cautious of such cons who call themselves artists and literally only after the money.

Based in Pune,she's a young budding artist who understands the need of a bride. She was the makeup artist for my sister as well as many of my close friends.Source
