About Bridal Hairstyling
Why Hair Matters To Me
I’m Darshana, and I honestly believe your wedding hair should feel like you - not just perfect, but personal. I do bridal hairstyling for all kinds of ceremonies, and I love mixing classic with a little bit of fun. My base is Mumbai, but I end up travelling pretty much anywhere for brides who want me there.
Looks For Every Wedding Function
Every part of your shaadi has its own vibe. I match your hair to the moment - from Sangeet to Reception.
- Sangeet & Mehendi: Playful styles work best. I like doing intricate braids with a dash of glitter, balloon ponytails that move with you, or soft waves with fresh flowers tucked in.
- Wedding Ceremony: For that main day, we can go full traditional or more modern. Messy bridal bun with Gajra is a favourite, but I also do sleek buns, gold-detailed braids, or soft romantic updo for wedding if you want a Christian or fusion look.
- Reception & Cocktail: Glam bridal ponytail or Hollywood-style bridal curls for that full-on party mode. I’m also into chic updos that actually stay put all night.
The Fun Stuff: Accessories
Accessories are my jam. Fresh flower bridal hair accessories (like Baby’s Breath, Roses, Hydrangeas) bring in a soft natural touch. If you want drama, pearls, crystals, and hair chains add that extra sparkle.
How I Work
I freelance so I can focus fully on you and your crew. I often team up with top makeup artists for a seamless look. If you need me outside Mumbai, I can come to you - wherever your wedding is.
