Bridal Makeup Service in Jersey City & Edison NJ - Sakhibeauty

New Jersey City and Edison, both in the state of New Jersey, have a large Indian immigrant population. Therefore, the need for beauty services that cater specifically to the Indian clientele is very great. This is especially important when the matter in question is a wedding.

Brides, bridesmaids and other women guests involved with the wedding would want to be decked up in as Indian a style as possible. This would include bridal make-up, hair dos, and Saree Draping Styles.


The saree is a very fluid garment. It can be draped in many different styles. In India, the region dictates the prominent saree draping style: the end of the saree thrown over the left shoulder is a north indian draping style, the end of the saree pulled across the front is the Gujarati style, tucked between the legs is Maharashtrian, tucked between the legs with the end of the saree thrown behind the shoulder is Tamilian, two different sizes of the saree wrapped together is the Malayalee style of saree draping and an extra-long saree that loops over the torso is the Bengali way of saree draping.



Depending on the bride’s or groom’s family, saree draping is decided upon. Even those settled abroad, as in US states like New Jersey, have similar requirements and preferences. The saree draping style dictates the Wedding Hair and Makeup. Some want to go completely traditional, in which case the make-up and hair is done exactly as the bride’s mother or grandmother would have done. Some brides want a fusion look, so the saree draping can be differently done, and the bridal make-up kept contemporary, the hair style variously elaborate. For example, if a bride in, say Edison or New Jersey city, wishes to be dressed as a Gujarati bride, the saree, a white and red one, would be draped in the Gujarati style. The bridal make-up would include decoration on her brow and a decorative bindi, and her hair style would have to support the extra dupatta thrown over her head. On the other hand, if the bride wants to go contemporary or modern, the saree could be draped with more variation, perhaps inspired by the popular leading ladies of Indian soaps.

These saree draping styles can be coupled with more varieties of accessories and make-up. Depending of the color of the saree, Bridal Makeup Edison NJ could be light or heavy, and hair left loose or tied up, adorned with flowers or decorative pins. The jewelry would also vary. While most traditional make-up requires a slender jewelry adornment of the hair parting, modern bridal get-up can do without it. These thing depend less on whether the bride is in New Jersey or New Delhi, and more on her preferences.

Henna Tattoos - Bridal Hair & Makeup in NJ - Sakhibeauty

The art of henna tattooing is a very ancient one, and can be traced all the way back to the ancient Egyptians who used henna to decorate their bodies. Henna is a non-permanent dye made from the dried leaves of the henna plant. Henna tattoos are popular in India, Japan, North Africa, Egypt, and the Middle East, where henna is grown. Although they began as cheap decorative body art, and signs of auspiciousness, they have now become exotic and very popular in the US and Europe too. Cities like New Jersey and Edison have large immigrant populations, and hence it is not unusual to find henna tattoos becoming increasingly popular there. Interestingly, Henna Tattoos NJ are not just a part of Bridal Makeup Edison NJ, but also popular as temporary body designs for night outs among all cultures.
As for Indian and Middle Eastern as well as Iranian weddings, elaborate Henna Tattoos NJ are part and parcel of bridal dressing up. Bridal make-up also consists of traditional hair-dos, often done using extensions to give the heavy and long locked look. Many brides prefer the bouffant style of hair-do over which a veil or the edge of a saree can be draped, giving the bride extra height. Others prefer a plait embellished with ornaments to be artistically left hanging. Very few like to leave their hair completely unpinned because it is difficult to manage such a hairstyle for long without it becoming limp or tangled.
Bridal make-up is done depending on the color of the dress, the hair, and the weather of the city the wedding is held in. In cities like New Jersey and Edison, bridal wedding hair and make-up can be done with cream-based products in winter and fall, when the temperature tends to drop drastically. Cold weather helps the make-up to stick on for longer. Summers would require bridal make-up to be done a tad lightly, with water-based products. Of course, this choice of bridal make-up really depends on if the wedding is to be held outdoors where the climate directly affects make-up and hair styling, or indoors, where conditions are more controlled. The predominant colors of the lipstick, eye-shadow, and nail polish are coordinated with the bride’s dress.
Since weddings are occasions for everyone to dress up and look pretty, a lot of women like as much variety as is possible in their wedding make-up, hair, and dresses while still adhering to traditional standards. So, for a traditionally themed wedding in New Jersey City or Edison, the bride would be dressed in the customary wear of the culture, but the women attendants and family members too would wear traditional wedding clothes, with appropriate wedding make-up and hair-dos.
