A salon with a difference

Talking to Afroza Parveen, one of the leading makeup artists of the country, and owner of Red, was quite an experience. Inaugurated in 2009, Red is not only a salon but also a favourite for bridal makeovers.  It gives highest of priorities to customer satisfaction, and goes at length to make them feel 'right at home' with a soothing ambience. Yet, bridal makeup remains their most popular service and it would not be wrong to state that this is their forte.

"Everyone has an inner beauty, we just need to listen to what they want and reflect their individuality through the make-up process" she said. Before opening her own salon, Afroza had worked with countless magazines and numerous fashion houses.

In this time and era, beauticians are no longer considered just service providers but artists as well, and like all 'painters' she too has her own preferences. Afroza loves working with nude shades and believes in keeping the look as natural as possible. She said, "A makeover should make you feel good, bring out the inner beauty and reflect your personality rather than turning you into a person you cannot even recognise."

The price tag that comes with all their bridal packages vary considerably depending on multiple factors. If you desire you can avail their special package where Afroza Parveen herself will oversee the whole process. Every bride is given an appointment to finalise on the look that they desire; at times even the makeup artists provide suggestions regarding which style would suit them best.

Red also offers other facilities including hair treatment, facial, spa, hair dyeing and rebonding, nail art, etc.

Red emphasises on the use of only the finest line of beauty products and cosmetics. Keeping the wedding season in mind, Afroza Parveen and her team is offering two exclusive packages. The premium service, "Magical Touch by Afroza" is priced at Tk 21,500 (which includes a whitening gold facial, manicure and a free party makeup). Clients can also opt for a budget makeover, Tk16,000 that will include the bridal makeup, a facial (according to the need of the bride) and another free party makeup.

Other packages are also available catered to suit the needs and the budget of the bride-to-be.
