"Azhia really understood my features and created a look that was natural and glamourous. I was excited and happy to find an artist who didn't overpower my face and also knew how to work with mixed ethnicity features. She remained attentive throughout the entire shoot, touching up makeup, adjusting hair, making sure everything was as it should be seen through the camera lens. I look forward to future creative collaborations with her, and I would trust her with my make-up for video, photos and performance."

"Shimmy Shoot is such a great resource for dancers. The daunting idea of a professional photo shoot is lightened when you are working with someone who understands your desires. Azhia is a generous and talented make up artist who is savvy about what a bellydancer needs to get a great promo picture. I learned a lot from sitting in her chair!"

"Azhia was an absolute dream to work with and I have never, repeat NEVER felt so glamorous as I did when she styled me for my last promotional shoot. I should have hired her a long time ago! My makeup was perfect and exactly what I asked for and my hair...... well let's just say that my long, thick, straight hair is very style-phobic and somehow she managed to tame it into a mass of voluptious curls that lasted almost 24 hours. Azhia is the best!"

"With what seems like only a few light touches, Azhia can transform you from day-to-day to absolutely stunning. I had a great time on my day of beauty with Azhia and Audra. Azhia knew just how to bring out the timeless elegance I was hoping for in my pictures. She was a joy to work with and I can recommend this sweetheart of a make-up artist *and* dancer - she knows just how to make you look your best while still looking like yourself!"

"The best photoshoot experience I have had has been with Azhia. She is extremely helpful in creating the look and the vision I want for any photo: from natural to crazy. I felt like a princess the entire time."
