About Special Occasion Hairstyling
My Approach
I’m all about making you feel confident for your big day, whether it’s a sangeet, wedding reception, or any special party. I keep things simple, focusing on what suits your vibe and outfit. I don’t do cookie-cutter looks - tell me what you like, or show me inspo pics, and I’ll make it work for your hair.
What I Do
- Elegant buns and updos: From classic floral gajra hair styling (fresh jasmine, mogra, whatever flowers you love) to modern, messy textured buns. Suits sarees, lehengas, and even gowns.
- Half-up styles: This is my go-to for sangeet nights or when you want hair off your face but still open and flowy. Works great with volume puffs, bouncy curls, or soft waves.
- Braids & ponytails: Not just simple braids - I do fishtails, pull-through, bubble ponytails, and accessorized braid hairstyles. I’ve even done fancy hair roses and sculpted looks.
Details Matter
I always bring extra pins, fresh flowers, and all the little bits for last-minute fixes. I love adding traditional jewellery, pearl pins, or even quirky name accessories if you’re up for something fun. My aim is to finish your look, not just style your hair.
What You Should Know
I’m a freelancer, so I come to you - your house, hotel, or wherever you’re getting ready. I’ll be honest, humidity and hair type can make a difference, but I prep well to help your style last.
