Pricing Guide
Open Hair Styling & Waves
Prep & Prime
- Assessment: Analysis of hair texture to determine specific heat tools and temperature requirements.
- Texturizing: Application of professional volumizing mousse (e.g., L'Oreal Tecni.Art) or root-lift spray to prevent flat roots.
- Heat Protection: Application of thermal protectant serums to shield hair from heavy tonging.
Styling Execution
- Style Options: Choice of Hollywood waves (uniform S-shape), textured beach waves (messy/boho), or bouncy blowout (volume with flicks).
- Extension Application: Setting and blending of clip-in hair extensions. Note: The provider styles the extensions but does not supply the hair.
Finishing Touches
- Humidity Shield: Use of anti-humidity lacquer to prevent frizz halo in humid weather.
- Shine Coat: Final misting of gloss spray for a high-sheen finish.
- Setting: Pinning front sections with crease-free clips during makeup application.
Ponytails, Braids & Half-Updos
Structure & Foundation
- Sleek Base: Use of edge control gels and fine-tooth combs to achieve a bump-free, glass-like finish.
- Volume Creation: Backcombing (teasing) at the crown for half-ties to create a flattering profile shape.
- Secure Anchoring: Use of professional bungee bands and heavy-duty grips to ensure the style stays lifted and tight for 6+ hours.
Artistic Detailing
- Concealment: Wrapping a section of hair around the elastic band to hide the mechanics of the hairstyle.
- Braiding Elements: Incorporation of fishtail, french, or dutch braids into the style for texture.
- Accessory Placement: Strategic placement of client-provided accessories. Basic pearl pins or invisible nets are included in the kit.
Finish & Hold
- Flyaway Management: Taming baby hairs around the hairline using mascara wands and strong-hold gel.
- Movement Check: Ensuring the length of the ponytail or open section retains natural movement.
Traditional Buns & Intricate Updos
Construction & Padding
- Volume Enhancement: Inclusion of synthetic hair padding (donuts or stuffing) to create a large bun shape regardless of natural hair density.
- Netting: Use of invisible hair nets to contain layers and prevent flyaways.
- Dupatta Anchoring: Creating a secure base within the hairstyle to support the weight of a heavy dupatta or pallu.
Floral & Accessory Work
- Fresh Floral Arrangement: Cutting, wiring, and pinning of fresh flowers (e.g., Gajra, Roses). Note: Flowers are procured by the client.
- Jewelry Setting: Secure fixation of hair jewelry like Maang Tikka or Paasa using thread and invisible pins.
Style Variations
- Look Options: Choice of classic low sleek buns, messy textured buns with face-framing tendrils, or retro finger-wave updos.
- Safety Check: A shake test to ensure the updo withstands vigorous movement.
About Special Occasion Hairstyling
My Approach
I see your hair as your crown, and for every special occasion, I want you to feel like you're truly owning it. Whether it's a cocktail night, festival, or baby shower, I get how important it is to match your vibe and comfort.
Occasion Styles
- For parties and galas, I like to play with glam party hair ideas. Sometimes, soft waves or bouncy curls do the trick. Other times, a chic ponytail or an elegant reception updo just fits.
- Festivals mean tradition. A festive floral hair bun with gajra or fresh flowers adds that desi (local/Indian) touch. If you’d rather keep your hair open, we can go for those classic curls.
- Baby showers and similar milestones call for comfortable baby shower hairstyles - gentle, pretty, and easy to wear, like loose waves or soft side sweeps.
Real Hair, Real Looks
I work with your natural hair – no stress about length. Short, long, somewhere in between, we’ll figure out what suits you best. Extensions aren’t a must, but I can use them if you want extra volume.
Accessories & Final Touches
I'm obsessed with hair accessories for special events. From fresh flowers to pearls, bows, and traditional jewels, I’ll help you add that finishing sparkle. That little detail often makes the whole look.
What Matters Most
Honestly, seeing you smile at the mirror is what it’s all about for me. I’m here to help you feel confident and truly special, whatever you’re celebrating.

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.
