About Special Occasion Makeup & Hairstyling
About My Style
I'm CJ. Most people call me Akka, and for me, makeup is all about trust. It’s a big deal when someone wants me there for their engagement, wedding, or even thalaikattu (baby shower). I don’t try to change you - ennoda philosophy romba simple: You should look like yourself, just a bit more polished. I always listen to what you want, especially when clients say, “Akka, naan naana theriyanum” (I want to look like myself).
Special Occasions Covered
- Baby showers: I love giving moms-to-be a subtle baby shower makeup and a beautiful braid with mallipoo (jasmine flowers) - traditional yet fresh.
- Photoshoots: For anyone who wants a flawless photoshoot look, I do soft smokey eyes, semi-matte skin, and can even drape your saree for you.
- Parties & receptions: From soft glam for gowns to classic styles for sarees, I make sure you’re comfortable and look stunning. Long-lasting party makeup is my thing - no creasing, no fading.
My Signature Touch
- Makeup: Smudged kajal, never harsh lines. I’m happy working with any skin tone, and I love celebrating dusky beauty. I can do HD, soft matte, dewy, or just very natural.
- Hair: Any length, any type. Traditional South Indian hairstyle with braids, soft curls, or chic updos. For short hair, I use tricks to add volume.
Why People Come Back
Families keep calling me back for every milestone. That trust means everything - andha trust thaan enaku romba mukkiyam (that trust is very important to me). I want you to look back at your pictures and feel happy about how real and elegant you looked.

My Story
Hey, naan CJ! Makeup is my uyir, not just a job. Even after becoming a mom, I never stopped—worked till three days before delivery, started again ten days later. Amma romba worried, but naan confident. Sometimes post-delivery, I feel down, like 'Nammalaala edhuvume panna mudiyalaiye' (can't do anything). But I look at my brides’ photos, and it lifts me. Seven months-la 25+ brides! The best part? Families trusting me for every event, year after year. If I can do it, yen ungalalayum mudiyaathu? (Why not you too?)
