About Featured
When you are wearing heavy matha pattis or long veils, the secret is not just the style, it is the foundation. I use heavy crimping for root lift and ensure that every floral accessory or piece of jewelry is anchored securely so your hairstyle stays perfect through the entire ceremony.
My approach to hairstyling is built on two things: versatility and technical reliability. Whether you need a sleek, high-volume ponytail for a cocktail night or a complex Maharashtrian Peshwa bun for your wedding, I tailor the technique to match your outfit and the event's duration.
My Styling Process
Every service starts with a quick assessment of your outfit neckline and hair texture. I use professional-grade products like Moroccanoil and Osis+ to ensure your hair holds up regardless of Mumbai's humidity or the intensity of the event. For bridal looks, I include base prep, such as heavy crimping, to provide the structural support needed for heavy matha pattis or floral trellises.
Versatility Across Events
- Traditional: I am skilled in creating long, thick South Indian braids with fresh jasmine, and elegant Sikh wedding buns decorated with hydrangeas or roses.
- Modern & Glam: For Sangeet or reception events, I specialize in Hollywood waves with a glass-hair finish, or chic, high-volume ponytails.
- Editorial: I bring the same technical precision to photoshoot styling, focusing on camera-ready finishes and sleek, high-fashion updos.
Logistics and Teamwork
I often work alongside makeup artists to ensure that your total look is cohesive. I travel across the Mumbai Metropolitan Area for all services and am available for pan-India bookings for destination weddings and photoshoots. For group bookings of 5 or more people, I bring an assistant to streamline the prep work, ensuring we stay on schedule for your event.
