What I Do
I’m Sufya, and honestly, styling hair for special occasions is my happy place. Whether it’s your sangeet, baby shower, or that big cocktail party, I’m the one who’ll fuss over every twist, wave, and braid till it looks just right. I’m all about soft, simple looks that feel like you, just a bit more glammed up.
Styles I Love Creating
- Effortless waves, textured ponytails, and romantic half-updos are my go-tos.
- I do everything from classic South Indian gajra buns to boho braid event hair with shells and beads.
- For haldi and mehendi, I bring out fresh flowers and colorful ribbons to make it playful.
- Elegant bridal party hair? Yup, I style moms, bridesmaids, and your whole squad so everyone feels included.
Accessories That Make It Pop
- I keep a stash of mogra (jasmine), roses, and baby’s breath for that extra fragrance and flair.
- Crystal pins, pearl clips, and even butterfly accents - if you want to try something new, I’m game.
- Fancy a big bow or some festive ribbons? Let’s mix it up.
How I Work
Collab is key - I often work with makeup artists so your look is totally put-together. If you want something trending or totally traditional, just tell me. I’ll be honest - some styles work better than others depending on your hair texture, but I’ll try to make it happen. Let’s make your special day feel effortless and beautiful.
