About Bridal Hair & Makeup
My Bridal Beauty Philosophy
I'm Sonal Shah, and for me, bridal beauty is all about you feeling amazing. I trained at Brittany Beauty Academy in NYC, but Mumbai’s where I make magic happen now. I want you to look like the best version of yourself, whether you want natural bridal makeup or full-on sparkle.
Tailored Looks for Every Function
No two brides are the same. I match hair and makeup to your vibe and the event - from a classic ceremony to wild Sangeet nights or Mehendi parties. I’ve worked with all kinds of traditions: North Indian, Maharashtrian, and I love creating the perfect traditional South Indian bridal look with kanjivaram sarees and braids.
My Signature Hair & Makeup
Makeup:
- I create flawless wedding makeup that lasts all day and pops in photos.
- Soft, dewy bridal skin is my go-to for a fresh, glowing look.
- Smokey eyes, crisp winged liner, or shimmer - I’ll make it fit you.
Hair:
- My messy floral bun with fresh flowers is pretty popular (roses, baby’s breath, you name it).
- I do classic buns, romantic waves, bouncy curls, and love using extensions for that extra volume.
- Skilled with braids, updos, and ponytails - from traditional to modern.
What to Expect
I bring my full energy and skills to every booking. If you want a simple wedding day look or something bold, I’ll make sure your hair and makeup suit your style. I believe your happiness is the best makeup – I’ll handle the rest.
