About Celebrity & Editorial Hairstyling
Why I Love What I Do
Hairstyling is my happy place. I get a real kick from seeing someone’s mood lift when their hair turns out just right. It’s not just about trends - it’s about making you feel like a star, whether you’re stepping in front of a camera or just wanting to try something new.
Who I Work With
I’ve created camera-ready hair styling for celebrities like Raveena Tandon, Harnaaz Sandhu, and Nikki Tamboli. I’ve done looks for brand shoots, editorial photoshoots, and styled for big events like the Elle India awards and PinkVilla Style Awards. Every event and person is different, so I always work to match the vibe, outfit, and occasion.
Styles I Love
- Big, soft waves and bouncy curls that look amazing on camera
- Classic buns and gajra buns (jasmine flower buns) - always a hit at desi events and totally timeless
- Slick ponytails, messy updos, and vintage slick-back waves for that editorial punch
- Playing with accessories - kuch sundar phool, pearls, ya funky clips (some pretty flowers, pearls, or funky clips) can totally change up the look
How I Work
It’s never just me - I’m always part of the larger creative team. I love collaborating with makeup artists and photographers to make sure your hair looks good in every shot and matches the overall vision. Sometimes shoots get chaotic, and not every style holds forever, but I’m always ready for quick touchups.
If you’re after those red carpet hair looks or want something totally unique for your next editorial, I’m here for it.

My Story
What a rollercoaster! Sometimes I pinch myself, especially when I’m fixing up Bollywood stars. Selfie with Shahid Kapoor? Yup, that happened. Ananya Pandey is a total sweetheart, and I called Aditya Roy Kapur and Arjun Kapoor ‘Cute Mundas’ at a Goa wedding, full filmy vibes. But honestly, every bride, every shoot, it’s all just as special. I’m grateful I get to play with hair and makeup and add a little sparkle to someone’s big day.
My Work
Hair & Makeup for Brides and Shoots - I do everything - haldi, sangeet, wedding, reception looks for brides and influencers.
Signature Styles - Obsessed with open waves hairstyle this season, but Gajra bun hairdo is always a classic. Beach waves for sangeet, floral buns, high ponytails - I mix it up.
Philosophy - Your hair’s your crown, wear it how you love. I want you happy and confident, that’s it.
Custom Looks for Every Event - Soft romantic for engagement, vintage wave party look for glam nights, I give each event its own magic.
