Questions & answers
Everything clients usually ask before booking. Still wondering? Ask me on WhatsApp.
Booking
How do I book an appointment?
Send me a message on WhatsApp or call +91 95376 45282. Tell me the services you’d like and a time that suits you, and I’ll confirm your slot personally.
Can I walk in without an appointment?
I work by appointment, so please call or message me once before you come. That way I can plan my day and keep your slot ready for you.
Can I book for the same day?
Yes. Same-day appointments at the studio are welcome whenever a slot is free, so message me and I’ll tell you what’s open. Home visits need at least one day’s notice.
What are your hours?
I’m open every day from 10 am to 10 pm, by appointment.
Can I book for a group before a function?
Yes, happily: sisters, friends or family getting ready for a function together. Call me and we’ll confirm everyone’s services and the timing, so your day runs smoothly.
Can I book several services in one visit?
Yes. Tap + on each service in the menu to build your visit, then send the whole list on WhatsApp in one message. I will reply to confirm a time that fits everything.
The full rules are in my booking policy.
Salon at home
Do you offer beauty parlour services at home in Ahmedabad?
Yes. I come to your home anywhere in Ahmedabad, from Vastrapur to Satellite, Thaltej and beyond, with everything your services need.
Is there an extra charge for a home visit?
My prices are the same as on the price list. For a home visit, the services you book should add up to at least ₹1,500, and you pay my cab fare both ways at the Uber or Ola price for your location.
Which services can you do at home?
All of them: waxing, facials and clean-up, hair care, manicure and pedicure. Please tell me every service you want when you book, so I bring everything they need.
How early should I book a home visit?
Please book at least one day ahead, so I can check my appointments and keep a time free for you.
What do I need to keep ready at home?
Very little. A chair near a window or good light, a small table for my kit, a plug point nearby and some water close at hand. I bring everything else.
Hygiene & products
How do you keep things hygienic?
Hygiene comes first, at the studio and at your home. I clean and sanitise my tools after every client, use disposables like spatulas and wax strips only once, give every client a fresh towel and sheet, and sanitise my hands before we begin.
Which brands do you use?
Trusted names you’ll recognise: VLCC, Lotus and O3+ facial kits, and Rica, cream and normal wax. If you’d like to know exactly what I’ll use for your service, just ask.
I have sensitive skin. What should I choose?
Tell me before we start about any allergies, past reactions, or creams and medicines you use on your skin. For waxing, Rica or cream wax is usually gentler than normal wax. If you’re unsure about a product, I can try it on a small patch first. Please avoid waxing on sunburnt, broken or irritated skin.
Prices & payment
How can I pay?
By UPI or cash, whichever is easier for you.
Do you have offers or packages?
Yes. Every offer I’m running is on the Offers page with all its conditions, and new ones are shared on Instagram and WhatsApp first.
Are the prices on the website final?
Yes, the listed prices are what you pay at the studio. For a home visit you also pay my cab fare (Uber) both ways. Your final price is confirmed on WhatsApp before the appointment.
Services
Do you do haircuts?
No, I don’t do haircuts. My services are waxing, facials and clean-up, hair spa and hair care, manicure and pedicure. The full list with prices is on the Services page.
What is the difference between a clean-up and a facial?
A clean-up is the shorter, lighter treatment: cleanse, scrub, steam, clean-out and a mask, good as monthly care. A facial adds a longer massage and a richer treatment kit for deeper nourishment and glow.
What does D-Tan do?
D-Tan is a pack that reduces the look of sun tan and dullness on the face or back. It does not change your natural skin tone, and results fade with fresh sun, so daily sunscreen keeps them longer.
How often should I get a facial or clean-up?
A clean-up every three to four weeks keeps skin fresh. A facial about once a month works well, or a few days before an occasion.
Is a patch test needed before hair colour?
A patch test 48 hours before colouring is standard safety advice, even for a colour you have used before. Ask me to arrange one, especially if you have sensitive skin.
How often should I get a hair spa?
Every two to four weeks suits most dry or coloured hair. Tell me about your hair on WhatsApp and I will suggest what fits.
Is hair straightening permanent?
No. It is done with a straightening machine, not chemicals, so your hair goes back to its natural texture after your next wash.
How often should I get a manicure or pedicure?
Most clients book every three to four weeks. Daily moisturising and gloves for housework keep the results longer.
What is included in a manicure and pedicure?
Nail cutting and shaping, a warm soak, cuticle care, a scrub and a massage with moisturising cream. A pedicure also looks after rough heels.
How long should hair be before waxing?
About a quarter of an inch, which is roughly two to three weeks after your last wax or shave. If you are unsure, send me a message before booking.
How often should I get waxing done?
Most clients book every three to four weeks, once the hair is long enough again.
What is the difference between normal, cream and Rica wax?
All three remove hair from the root. Normal wax is the everyday, budget-friendly choice. Cream wax has added moisturising ingredients for dry skin. Rica is a premium wax made without rosin, gentler on sensitive skin, and it costs a little more.
Policies
How do I cancel or change my appointment?
Just let me know as early as you can, on WhatsApp or a call, and we’ll find a new time together.
Do you store my personal details?
No. This website doesn’t save anything you type. When you book, your message goes straight to WhatsApp, and our chat stays there.
The full rules are in my booking policy and privacy policy.
