Alpher Make Up & Veils is a fantastic beauty service for trendy Islamic make up and veils for Islamic women. We visited Alpher the proprietor who has an impressive skill at make up and veiling. She told us a lot about her work and why every Islamic woman who wants make up and veiling services needs to visit her place.
Alpher Make Up & Veils: Other Salons give you just make up. We are Alpher Make Up & Veils: provide you with an Islamic experience: the veils, the veil designing and the face, that’s the make up.
Monday Times: Do you have different styles for make up?
Alpher Make Up & Veils: Yes there are different looks for make up and there are different designs for veils depending on a particular client’s head and shape corners.
Monday Times: What are those looks?
Alpher Make Up & Veils: We have a casual look which is for like someone who is going to a function.There is a Glam. You can still go to a function with a Glam but you will be too noticeable. There is a blush which is mostly done by the working class. It is usually for people who are going to sit in offices. They normally want to go to the office looking good but they do not want the office people to know that they have applied something on their face. Then there is the bridal which is the glamorous one. It is the toppest part of it.
Monday Times: How about the veil designs, which categories do you have?
Alpher Make Up & Veils: There are different types. There are causal veils. There are those that are a little bit art lined. There are corner veils. Corner veils are those for people with big cheeks dog face. The corner veil reduces the cheeks and makes your face a little bit longer. The round veils are normally done for people with a long (dog) face and big eyes. There are different types of round veils. Some have the floral which for those with small eyes, because floral helps the eyes to pop out.
Monday Times: Do you do mobile make up or veiling?
Alpher Make Up & Veils: We do mobile make up for only brides. They usually have their entourage and they ask us to go and do the make up and veiling for them. We also accompany them to their houses, their homes, their venues and handle make up and veiling when they make changes, because as you know weddings or traditional functions have changes of different garments.
Monday Times: How different are you from others who do this kind of service?
Alpher Make Up & Veils: I am more artistic than what other people are. Others do very basic make up and veiling and so each client looks the same. For me I am different. Each client is handled artistically and eventually they get value for their money because there will be a very big difference in how they look. What pleases one client cannot please another client.
Monday Times: How long have you been doing this for?
Alpher Make Up & Veils: I have been doing it all my life though professionally as a business I set up shop four years ago. It started as a hobby. I would do it for my family, house competitions in school, and so on.

Alpher Make Up & Veils: They should have all the information about what they want.If a client knows what she wants, I can find exactly what she wants depending on what she wants.What look would you want? What is your wish? How do you want your big day to be?
Monday Times: What advice do you give someone who is doing make up for the first time?
Alpher Make Up & Veils: I think they should give it their best, and they should not be basic. They should try to be very creative.They should pay attention to the quality that they use.
