About Special Occasion Hairstyling
What I Do
Hair’s kinda my thing. I’m Darshana, a freelance hairstylist from Mumbai, and I’m here to make sure your hair looks fab for any big occasion. Whether it's your bestie’s wedding, a sangeet, cocktail night, or even a formal family dinner, I like to keep things chill and stress-free.
Styles for All Occasions
I style hair for every special event - sangeet nights, wedding receptions, festive parties, formal dinners, and full-on wedding squads. I love teaming up with bridesmaids and family to make sure everyone feels confident.
How I Work
I always start by vibing with your outfit and personality. We can go classic or try something trending - depends on your mood! My go-to’s include:
- Sleek or messy buns and elegant updo hairstyles
- Voluminous textured ponytails, even balloon ponytails with pearls if you want that extra glam
- Party-ready open hair styling with soft curls, beachy waves, or half-updos for that dreamy look
Finishing Touches
Accessories are my jam. I use festive hair accessories like fresh flowers (think gajra or roses), pearls, hair chains, or crystal pins to add that final sparkle. If you want something traditional or a bit edgy, just let me know - we’ll make it work.
On Location
I travel across Mumbai (and beyond) to wherever you need me - home, hotel, or venue. I often work with makeup artists for a smooth, all-in-one experience. Your hair, your way, no stress.
