Pricing Guide
South Indian Bridal Hair & Silk Draping
Hair Architecture & Extensions
- Structural Braid Sculpting: Custom attachment of 'Savaram' (false hair extensions) to create traditional length and thickness while ensuring weight distribution to prevent neck strain.
- Fresh Floral Rigging: Intricate threading and setting of fresh Jasmine (Malli poo) or rose petals, including installation of 'Jada Billai' (hair jewelry) or floral nets.
- Flyaway Control: Application of hard-hold setting sprays and nets for a frizz-free finish that withstands humidity.
Couture Saree Draping
- Silk Saree Pre-Pleating: Advanced steam ironing and box-pleating of heavy Kanjeevaram sarees beforehand to create stiff, razor-sharp pleats.
- Silhouette Shaping: Draping focused on creating a slimming mermaid silhouette or waist definition with rust-proof safety pins.
Essentials
- Includes premium hair pins (U-pins, bobby pins), donut paddings, and rubber bands.
- Covers styling for a change of look (e.g., Muhurtham to Oonjal) if within the continuous booking slot.
Modern Reception & Christian Bridal Styling
Heat Styling & Texture
- Advanced Hot Tools: Usage of crimpers for root volume, barrel tongs for Hollywood waves, or straighteners for glass-hair looks.
- Couture Updos: Creation of textured messy buns, ponies, or Christian bridal buns using padding for volume where natural density is lacking.
- Accessory Setting: Delicate placement of pearls, stone accessories, or fragile flowers like Baby's Breath and hydrangeas.
Complex Draping
- Lehenga & Dupatta Setting: Dual-dupatta draping or modern single-dupatta pinning focused on highlighting blouse work and hiding tummy bulk.
- Difficult Fabrics: Specialized pinning for slippery fabrics like chiffon, georgette, or heavy sequined reception sarees.
- Can-Can Management: Adjusting and fluffing lehenga underlayers for flared photographs.
Product Kit
- Application of texturizing dust, shine sprays, and humidity-blockers to ensure open hair styles do not fall flat.
Party Hair & Draping (Guests & Family)
Express Hairstyling
- Volume Prep: Root crimping and backcombing to create instant volume for limp hair.
- Versatile Styles: Choice of soft curls, half-up half-down styles, or neat low buns.
- Synthetic Padding: Usage of standard synthetic donuts to create bun size (excludes high-end hair extensions).
- Accessory Fixing: Secure pinning of client-provided flowers or simple hair jewelry.
On-Spot Draping

About Bridal Hair Styling & Saree Draping
Creating the perfect bridal look is my way of putting heart and soul into your big day. I grew up in namma Bengaluru, and nothing beats seeing a bride light up when she sees her reflection - hair just right, saree draped perfectly, feeling like her best self.
Full Bridal Styling, Start to Finish
- I handle both hair and saree or lehenga draping, so you don't have to juggle multiple artists.
- Making sure your drape and hair match - that's my jam. The whole look feels put together, not pieced together.
Classic South Indian Bridal Looks
- Obsessed with the traditional muhurtham vibe. Think South Indian bridal hair braid with thick plaits, fishtails, and loads of Malli Poo (jasmine).
- Temple jada (hair jewellery), classic buns, and silk sarees draped just right.
- My draping style highlights the saree's beauty and supports all the hair accessories and jewellery.
Modern & Fusion Styles Too
- Not just classic - I love creating chic updos, French twists with a desi spin, or Hollywood waves for your Sangeet or Reception.
- Fusion saree draping styles and hairstyles that hold up through all the dancing and fun.
Not Just the Bride
- Styling for your sister, cousins, or friends too. The bride tribe deserves to look fab as well.
Bangalore Base, Travel Ready
- I’m local to Bangalore but travel to Hyderabad, Chennai, Coimbatore, or wherever your wedding takes you.
If you want that perfect mix of tradition, style, and some real talk on what works best for you, I’m here for it.
