We are the only brand in Goa with such a large in-house capability. allowing us to take up booking of upto 20 artists / 100+ guests at a time. Other players have much smaller teams and hire freelancers with different abilities and skill sets for larger bookings, leading to a lot of variability in quality.
All our artists are trained and mentored in house, and work in the same system.
When you book with us, it is our responsibility, as a brand, to ensure that you get the same high quality of service from all our artists. In other words, we are not a provider of different artists with different skills, techniques and sensibilities - all our artists are required to deliver OUR kind of work. (It's like dining at a high-end branded restaurant - you get the same quality of food, no matter which individual chef is preparing it in the kitchen)

Bina Punjani Bridals is a branded hairstyling and makeup service. The brand is headed by Bina Punjani, and we have 4 salon, an academy and a makeup and hair vertical, all based in Goa, with about 45 full time employees.
We have a large in-house capability, with about 15 artists that are full time employees. All of them have been trained in-house and mentored personally by Bina Punjani. In addition, we also have access to many hair and makeup artists who are trained by us at our academy and have significant experience working independently.
For brides, we only send our in-house bridal artists - these are the most skilled and senior artists in our system who have been specifically identified and trained for this. Some of them specialize only in hair and some only in makeup.
For guest / family bookings, we send only our in-house artists for most bookings. For larger bookings, we occasionally deploy some of the best artists who have been trained by us as the academy, and have significant experience working independently. In all cases, it is our responsibility as a brand that you get a high quality of service that is consistent with our brand language.
No, we do not store, share or display work of the individual artists that work for us. All our artists are extensively trained and mentored in house in our methods, and are required to deliver our kind of work. So the work we share is brand work, not individual.
Brides who get a trial with us, can book the same artists that do the trial for their wedding (subject to availability at the time of booking). You still make a decision on getting the trial based on BRAND work and not individual work, but you do get to book the same artists when you do the booking.
For guest / family hair and makeup, we typically allocate artists a few days before the booking. It is not possible to reserve specific artists for guest / family bookings.
However, it is OUR job, as a brand, to ensure that we send the right artists for your booking.
The timings decided at the time of booking are considered tentative / indicative.
In case of delay or changes, you simply need to let us know beforehand. We typically take an hour or more to get to the venue, so if you let us know at least two hours in advance, we can accordingly leave late.
We are not ok with reaching your venue, and then being asked to wait because of a delay or timing change, or late arrival of flights etc, simply because no one bothered to inform us. If the previous function started late, you can inform us, or a flight is delayed, you can let us know before take-off, and we can adjust our departure.
In case of failure to inform us, the booking will be considered as starting from the original time communicated by you.
