About Professional Saree Draping
Why I Love Saree Draping
I’m Dakshayini. Most people know me for hair, but saree draping is my other obsession. For me, it’s not just about wrapping fabric - it’s about making you feel confident and beautiful. I get real khushi (happiness) seeing someone walk out feeling totally themselves.
My Way of Draping
I’m all about crisp, proper pleats and a neat finish. I come straight to your venue so the draping is fresh and flawless. Even with heavy silk sarees, the drape will hold up through the whole event. You can move, sit, and enjoy without worrying about anything coming loose.
Styles I Offer
- South Indian bridal saree draping for that classic look with heavy silks
- Modern saree drape techniques like side pleats, special pallu flows, or something you’ve seen online
- Custom saree pleating for lehenga and half-saree styles, perfect for engagements and sangeets
- Right-side pallu and other trending drapes
Occasions Covered
I drape sarees for brides, moms, sisters, and friends at weddings, receptions, baby showers, festivals, and any event where you want to look your best.
How It Works
I’m Bangalore-based but happy to travel for destination weddings or events across India. I handle every saree - from the heaviest Kanchipuram silks to light georgettes - so you don’t have to stress about the fabric. Your saree, my canvas.

My Story
Hi, I'm Dakshayini. Hair? Not just work for me, it's pure art. Started off styling celebs, now teaching at my own academy in Bangalore. Honestly, nothing beats the khushi (happiness) of seeing students nail professional looks, sometimes in just a few days. Some come with zero confidence, leave with skills and swag. My classes and work take me all over India and I love every bit of it.

Signature Style - No crimping, no harsh sprays. My focus is clean, bouncy, natural hairstyles. Technique is everything.
