About Hair Styling & Treatments
My Hair Styling Approach
With 15+ years in this field, I've learnt that hair styling is pure kai kelasa (handiwork). For me, it's about making your hair look flawless and feel comfortable, no matter how long your event runs. I pay attention to technique, so your hairstyle stays put and you stay stress-free.
Bridal & Traditional Styles
South Indian bridal hair is my specialty. I craft those long, thick braids everyone loves, and use nets for layered hair to keep things clean and neat. If you want extra volume, I add seamless hair extensions for braids (Chouli/Savaram) that blend right in. I don't just pin — I stitch fresh Mallige (jasmine) and traditional Jadai Billai onto your braid so you can move around without worry. Floral buns, classic updos, all matched to your saree and jewellery.
Modern Event Looks
For receptions or parties, I offer about 25 styles: bouncy curls, soft waves, fishtail or mermaid braids, messy buns, sleek ponytails, and half-up styles. You tell me your vibe, I’ll suggest what works best for your hair type.
Prep & Treatments
My trick? Prepping the hair right. I use blow-drying, straightening, or crimping to give styles real hold. For thin hair, crimping helps add volume so puffs and updos don’t fall flat. Gottagthidya? (You get it?) The prep is what keeps it together.
Cuts & Care
I do modern layered haircut, classic U/V, feather, butterfly, bob – always keeping your hair texture in mind. Treatments include Keratin and Botox hair treatment, Nanoplastia, straightening, and global colouring.
Ollethagali (Let good things happen) – we’ll chat and pick what fits you best.

My Story
Namaskara, nanu Ganavi Uma. Makeup is my art, my life now, not just a job. Fifteen years in this field, and still, every time a student says, 'Mam, navu nim tarah aagbeku' (Ma'am, we want to be like you), I feel proud. From Ballari to Coorg, girls come with dreams. My studio is where I teach more than makeup - confidence too. When a student opens her own studio with my help, that happiness is something else.
My Work

Saree Draping & Hair Styling - I offer 10+ saree draping styles, including trending puffy pleats, and teach 25 hair styling methods.
Certified Beauty Courses - At my academy, I teach everything from basics to advanced, including product knowledge and color theory.

Personalized Service - Facial or waxing, I check your skin type - each treatment is different, no shortcuts, only proper procedure.
