Featured Signature Hairstyles and Saree Draping
A selection of my favorite looks—from traditional South Indian bridal braids to modern, sleek updos for cocktail nights. Every style here is designed to match your outfit and personality for your big day.
This is one of my favorite looks, combining a traditional Kanjeevaram saree with a modern, wavy ponytail. I handled both the hairstyling and the saree draping to create a complete, harmonious look for this beautiful South Indian bride.
For a classic muhurtham look, I created this traditional South Indian bridal braid, intricately decorated with temple jewellery and finished with a beautiful jada. This style perfectly complements the richness of a silk saree.
A Christian bride deserves a look that is both timeless and elegant. I crafted this soft, romantic updo, scattering delicate pearls throughout to match the intricate details of her beautiful white gown.
This chic and glamorous high ponytail is perfect for a sangeet or reception. I focus on creating volume and soft, lasting waves to ensure the style looks stunning from every angle and lasts all night.
A half-up, half-down hairstyle is a versatile choice that offers the best of both worlds. Here, I've added a crown of fresh mallige (jasmine) to loose waves, creating a romantic look perfect for any wedding event.
This is a beautiful pellikuthuru look, featuring a thick, voluminous fishtail braid. I wove in fresh flowers to add a touch of color and fragrance, making it a truly special hairstyle for the pre-wedding ceremonies.
My client requested a look inspired by Alia Bhatt, and I was so excited to create it. This video shows the inspiration and my final creation: a sophisticated, modern French twist updo that is perfect for a cocktail party or reception.
I love working with intricate hair accessories. This stunning multi-strand pearl and kundan hairpiece cascades beautifully down the client's soft waves, creating a regal and unforgettable look for her special day.
About Featured
When I create these styles, the secret is in the prep. Whether it is root crimping for volume or using the right synthetic padding, I ensure your hairstyle is dance-proof and stays picture-perfect from the ceremony to the final reception dance.
I love the variety in these photos. They show the different sides of my craft, from the heavy, traditional temple jewelry styling for a classic muhurtham to the lighter, modern curls for a cocktail event. My goal is always balance.
If you are worried about your saree drape staying put while you dance, I take care of that too. My draping services include professional pleat sculpting and strategic pinning so you can move freely without worrying about a drape malfunction.
For hair, I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you have long, thick hair or need help with volume, I use professional tools to create the look you want. I bring the same level of care to a simple half-up, half-down look as I do to an elaborate fishtail braid.
I am based in Bengaluru, but my kit is travel-ready. Whether your wedding is in Hyderabad, Chennai, or a destination venue, I will be there to help you get ready.
