About Haircut & Styling
Why I Do What I Do
Hair is such a personal thing, na? After 25 years of cutting, chopping, and styling for everyone from celebs to my next-door neighbors, I still get a kick out of seeing someone light up after a fresh cut. For me, the right hairstyle is about more than just looks - it’s about that mood boost when you see yourself in the mirror.
How I Work
First, we talk. I want to know about your hair, your routine, and what you actually want - not what Instagram says is trending. Whether you’re after a layered haircut for volume or a soft face-framing haircut, I’ll help you find a style that fits your life and, honestly, is easy to handle on a daily basis.
What I’m Known For
- Cascading layers and those soft, face-framing bits that bring movement (and no, I don’t believe in helmet hair)
- Dramatic transformations - like the big chop from waist-length to a sharp bob
- Bangs and all kinds of fringes, from curtain to blunt
- Kids’ haircuts (even the squirmy ones!)
- Hair fix after bad cut - if your last cut was a disaster, I’ll sort it out. Might take a couple of visits, but we’ll get there
The Finish
Every cut ends with a pro blowout and styling. Want soft waves, sleek straight, or just “ready for the party” hair? You’ll walk out looking and feeling sorted - whether it’s for a big day, a wedding, or just because you felt like it.
Clients come from all over, but Mumbai is home. If you want a style that makes you feel like yourself (but better), I’m here.

My Story
Hey, I’m Amanda. Been at this hair game over 25 years, and trust me, the buzz never dies. From jazzing up celebs to giving someone their first wild hair color, I’m still hooked. Went all the way to Sochi, Russia for training once—yep, my team landed early (which shocked the trainers, thanks to 'IST' jokes!). For me, it’s passion, learning, and bringing back the best tricks for you.
