What is the best salon in Ahmedabad for bridal makeup?
Mint Salon is renowned for bridal services with HD and airbrush makeup options. Lakme, Jawed Habib, and Enrich also excel at bridal packages. For luxury hotel spas, check luxury hotels and resorts in Ahmedabad like Taj, ITC, or Hyatt for their spa services.
Are haircuts cheaper at budget salons or local barbershops?
Local barbershops are cheapest (₹100-200 for men). Budget salons charge ₹200-400 for women, ₹100-200 for men. Quality varies but budget salons have more consistency.
How long do keratin treatments last?
Keratin results typically last 3-6 months depending on hair care routine, water hardness, and product quality. Results degrade faster if you don’t follow the post-treatment care (avoid shampooing for 72 hours, use sulphate-free shampoo).

Which salons offer home service?
Many mid-range and premium salons offer home service for bridal makeup, hair spa, threading, and waxing. Ask your salon: pricing for home service is typically 20-30% higher than in-salon rates.
Do I need to get membership or is walk-in available?
Walk-in is standard at all salons in Ahmedabad. Memberships (usually annual) offer discounts (5-15%) and priority booking but are optional. Most customers prefer pay-per-service flexibility.
What is the dress code for luxury salons?
None. Salons welcome all customers regardless of dress. Luxury salons focus on service, not appearance. Dress comfortably for your appointment.

Tipping is not mandatory in Ahmedabad salons but is appreciated. 5-10% of the bill for good service is common. For bridal services, 10-15% is appropriate.
Can I get a men’s shave and massage at barbershops?
