About The Art of Hairstyling
I do not just pin your hair up; I focus on the structural integrity of the style based on your outfit. Whether you are wearing a heavy Nauvari saree that needs a secure bun to support a traditional headpiece, or a backless gown that requires soft, open waves, I factor in the weight of your jewellery and the neckline of your outfit. A great hairstyle should be comfortable enough to dance in for hours while staying perfectly in place from the start of your ceremony until the last photo is taken.
Your hairstyle acts as the frame for your makeup and your overall look. I work with all hair lengths and textures, using professional-grade padding, volume boosters, and setting sprays to ensure your style looks consistent throughout your event.
My Approach to Styling
- Traditional Elegance: For Maharashtrian weddings and traditional ceremonies, I specialize in intricate braids and full buns. I know exactly how to integrate fresh flowers like gajra or veni so they look neat and last through the humidity. I am also experienced in the precise placement of accessories like maang tikka and mundavalya.
- Modern Glam: If you are attending a cocktail party, sangeet, or reception, I create trendy looks including Hollywood waves, textured high ponytails, and messy embellished updos. These styles are designed to be high-impact but lightweight, so you do not feel weighed down by pins or extensions.
- Technical Precision: I prioritize heat protection and long-wear hold. If you have a specific vision, I can incorporate hair extensions or padding to create the volume required for complex updos.
What to Consider Before We Start
- Outfit Neckline: Let me know if your blouse or gown is backless, high-neck, or features heavy embroidery, as this changes where the hair should fall.
- Accessories: If you have specific hair jewellery or fresh flowers you want included, please keep them ready.
- Hair Type: Whether your hair is fine, thick, or color-treated, I will use products that enhance your natural texture while keeping the style secure.
