A Calm Plan for Your Wedding Week
Your wedding is not just one day. It is a beautiful collection of moments, from the vibrant energy of the Sangeet to the joy of the Baraat and the elegance of the Reception.
We plan for your whole wedding week. Instead of you finding different artists for each event, we create one seamless experience. This is the one part of your wedding you do not have to worry about.
Expert Indian Bridal Hair and Makeup
We help you look and feel like the most beautiful version of yourself. During your preview, we design your perfect Indian wedding makeup and hairstyle, creating a look that feels authentic to you.
On the day, we bring that vision to life. We specialize in the details, from draping your lehenga or saree to securely setting a heavy dupatta. We expertly place your jewellery, from your maang tikka to your kundan set, so you can celebrate without a single worry.
Indian Makeup Artists for You and Your Family
It is just as important that your family feels relaxed and beautiful. Our team is skilled at creating looks for all ages and skin tones, so everyone feels included.
Sana works with a team she trains herself. This means we can create a schedule to get your mother, sisters, and bridesmaids all ready on time. Everyone will be there to celebrate with you, looking and feeling their best.
An Experienced Team You Can Trust
With 15+ years of bridal experience, we bring a calm and steady hand to your wedding morning. We understand the flow of an Indian wedding day and have also worked with Sikh brides for their Anand Karaj ceremony.
Our work has been featured in Maharani Weddings, with several of our brides published in its Platinum Guide. We were also the artists for a wedding announced in The New York Times. This experience with Indian bridal hair and makeup means we are prepared for every detail.

My family needs hair and makeup too. Can you help?
We love getting your family ready for the big day. Sana's team can comfortably manage large bridal parties. We create a relaxed schedule to ensure your mother, sisters, and bridesmaids are all ready on time with you.
Do you have experience with Sikh weddings?

A calm wedding morning is everything.
Sana and her team were exceptional during my entire wedding week. Each look was unique and came out better than I even imagined! They used their expertise to recommend what would look best on me, my family, and friends. They were all also very kind and professional. Highly recommend SKS!
I hired SKS Salon for my Sangeet for myself and wedding for my bridesmaids! The team was amazing. They made sure everyone was ready to go on time and they did an amazing job with my bridal hair and makeup! I would definitely recommend them to any bride!
I hired SKS salon for my wedding/reception and for my bridesmaids. The team was very professional, on time, and welcoming. I loved both my wedding and reception look! Sana did a great job executing the style I was going for. Everyone was so easy to talk to, fun, and listened to our concerns.
