Prices, timing and a skin plan that suits Kanpur.
Peak: November to February, plus April dates. Quiet: July to September.
UP Hindu families with long tilak and haldi traditions, plus Sindhi and Marwari trading families.
Cold, and among the most polluted winter air in the country. Pores clog fast in December.
Hard, with industrial contamination in some areas. A shower filter is worth it here.
Air here is the real reason the skin looks dull, not a missing facial. A double cleanse every night for eight weeks does more than any package sold to you in the last fortnight.
Banquet halls in Swaroop Nagar and lawns on the Mall Road belt.
Bride's own makeup and hair on the wedding day: about Rs 8000 to Rs 40000. Family or party makeup: about Rs 2500 to Rs 9000. A full pre-bridal package: about Rs 4500 to Rs 18000. These are ranges people actually pay, not quotes.
