About this collection
Modern reception styles usually mean loose curls or half-updos that need to survive a long evening of dancing and meeting guests. I use specific setting and pin placement techniques that keep the curls bouncy but secure, avoiding that stiff, crunchy hairspray feeling. You get the soft, romantic look you want, but it stays in place long after the photos are done.
While my traditional muhurtham work focuses on endurance, reception and engagement hair is all about the movement and the vibe. Whether you are wearing a designer lehenga, a gown, or a modern drape, I tailor the hairstyle to suit the fabric and your outfit’s neckline.
Why modern styles need a different touch:
- Texture Management: For reception looks, I often work with heated tools to create soft, natural-looking waves. I make sure the curls don't drop, even in Bangalore’s humidity, by using high-quality setting sprays that don't weigh your hair down.
- Hair Accessories: I love incorporating baby’s breath, small roses, or delicate pearl pins to complement the outfit. If you have a specific accessory in mind, I can secure it so it doesn't snag or pull.
- Coordinating with Makeup: I am used to working alongside makeup artists. I always communicate with them about where the hair will fall so the hairstyle frames your face and doesn't hide the makeup work.
Whether it’s a sangeet where you need hair that stays out of your face while dancing or a reception where you want a polished, romantic look, I ensure the final style is comfortable. My goal is to make sure you look and feel like yourself, just a little more glam for your big night.
