Gallery
Work, grouped so you can tell what you are looking at.
Bridal, regional, hair and draping, and classroom practice — kept apart, because a gallery that mixes them is telling you nothing.
In motion
Four finished looks, moving.
A photograph can be rescued in an edit; thirty seconds of movement under real light cannot. Nothing downloads until you press play.
Red Kanjivaram, South Indian bridalTemple jewellery, a gold-bordered red Kanjivaram, and a base built to hold under warm indoor light. Gold Kanjivaram with jasmineHair set around the jewellery rather than the other way round, finished with fresh flowers. Beige lehenga, daylightAn engagement look shot outdoors — the hardest light to build a base for, and the one that shows every seam. Green and magenta, nath and temple setTraditional jewellery on a strong eye, kept clean enough to read in close-up photographs.

From the classroom
Practice work on mannequin heads — this is what the hairstyling course actually produces, and it is labelled as such rather than shown as client work.

Every look on this page was done by Neha, and everything in it is what the academy teaches.
Student work · reserved
This section is built and stays empty until there is something true to put in it.
When it fills, every entry will carry the student’s name, their Instagram, the course they took and the month they finished. No initials, no uncredited grid, no placement percentage without a named employer beside it.
