About Bridal Makeup & Hair
My Style: Simple, Radiant, Real
I’m Nethra, your kannadadahudugi who’s obsessed with making brides look gorgeous but still like themselves. My vibe is all about natural bridal makeup - glowing skin, soft features, nothing heavy or over-the-top. I want you to feel confident, not covered up. If you like minimal wedding makeup that stays put through rituals, hugs, and sweaty dance floors, you’re in the right place.
Every Wedding Moment Covered
Bridal isn’t just one event. I do makeup and hair for all your special functions - engagement, varapooje, baleshastra, Pellikuthuru, Gouri Pooja, muhurtham, and reception. Each look is customized so you never feel “same-same”.
South Indian Traditions & Modern Glam
Traditional bridal hairstyles? Got you. I love South Indian wedding hair - classic braids, fresh flowers, jade and all. If you’re into North Indian or modern looks too, I can switch it up with buns, curls, or a simple wedding day look. Whether you want timeless or trendy, I’ll work with what suits you best.
More Than Just Makeup
I know how stressful bridal planning can get. I’m happy to share the contacts of trusted jewellery rentals, saree designers, or floral artists if you need help completing your look. Just ask!
Yaara, let’s make you shine! (Girl, let’s make you shine!)
