Garba is more fun as a group, and so is getting ready for it. The catch is that everyone wants to be done at the same time, and makeup is done one face at a time.
The fix is simple: work out the time each person needs, then order the evening backwards from when you want to leave.
How long each service takes
| Service | Time per person |
|---|---|
| Party Makeup (HD) | About 75 minutes |
| Party Makeup + Hairstyle | About 2 hours |
| Hairstyling on its own | About 40 minutes |
| Saree or Lehenga Draping | About 30 minutes |
| Nail Cut, File & Polish | About 20 minutes |
A sample evening for four
Say four of you want to leave at 7:30. Two want full makeup and a hairstyle, two only want a hairstyle. With one beautician that is a little over five hours of work, so the first person starts around 2 in the afternoon:
| Time | Who | What |
|---|---|---|
| 2:00 | Person 1 | Makeup and hairstyle |
| 4:00 | Person 2 | Makeup and hairstyle |
| 6:00 | Person 3 | Hairstyle |
| 6:40 | Person 4 | Hairstyle |
| 7:20 | Everyone | Quick touch-ups, dupattas pinned, out the door by 7:30 |
Who goes first
- Longest services first. Full makeup with a hairstyle takes the most time, so it starts the evening.
- Hairstyles and draping last. They are quicker and stay freshest when done closest to leaving.
- Whoever is least bothered by waiting goes early. The person who has made up first will be dressed and waiting the longest. Pick someone who does not mind.
