I use high-grade styling tools and precise pinning techniques to ensure your style stays secure, even when using extensions or heavy hair accessories. If you have a specific look in mind that requires added volume or length, let me know in advance so we can coordinate clip-in extensions for the perfect finish. I love playing with the balance between modern and traditional. My approach to braiding and ponytails is about creating a hairstyle that looks polished but feels comfortable enough to dance in. ### Why I Love These Styles * **Versatility:** A sleek, high-volume ponytail works as well for a red-carpet event as it does for a cocktail night. * **Practicality:** These styles keep hair off your face, which is a lifesaver during outdoor events like Haldi or long Sangeet rehearsals. * **The 'Fusion' Factor:** I enjoy incorporating traditional elements like gotta patti, floral vines, or fresh gajra into modern, sleek braids. It brings out the cultural essence while keeping the structure contemporary. ### What I Need From You When we plan your look, we should talk about the weight and texture of your hair. If you have thin hair but want a voluminous braid, I will guide you on using clip-in extensions. I handle the styling, pinning, and accessory placement (like crystals or floral clips), but please ensure you have the accessories ready or we can discuss sourcing options during our consultation. I’m based in Mumbai but I travel to your venue across India. Whether you are prepping for a photoshoot or your own wedding festivities, I focus on styles that are 4K-video ready and durable enough to last from the first ceremony to the final dance. ## About Shweta Hathiyani I’m Shweta, and I love creating hairstyles that let you actually enjoy your event.
