For themed parties or avant-garde shoots, I create custom hairstyles built to support unique accessories. ## Photos and videos - ![For a themed party, I styled the client's hair to accommodate this dramatic fascinator hat with a net veil. The hair is kept simple with soft waves to let the accessory be the focus.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/f17b7b39-065d-44b3-a285-fb3a2d23e15a) - ![The back view of the hairstyle, showing how the fascinator is secured.

I use professional-grade pinning AND texture-building techniques to ensure your accessory sits SECURELY without weighing your hair down. If you have a specific vision or a complex accessory, we’ll plan it so it stays flawless from start to finish. It’s not just styling; it’s structural engineering. When you bring in a fascinator, a crown, or custom floral wiring, your hair must have enough grip. I use root crimping and specific product application to create a sturdy canvas, even for fine hair. This ensures your look remains intact while you're moving or posing for photos. If you have a concept that feels UNCONVENTIONAL—like editorial makeup, stage-ready hair, or a high-fashion look for a shoot—I bring the same precision I learned in New York. We can chat about the outfit, the weight of the accessories, and the venue. From securing heavy netting to balancing volume with elaborate headgear, my goal is to make sure the accessory complements your look rather than hiding it. ## About Sonal Shah I’m Sonal.
