Everything the salon offers, and how each is decided
The full menu is below, searchable by name. Under it, the same work written out properly — because what suits you is decided by reading your hair or skin, never by picking from a list.
The salon menu
Every service, in one place
Type a treatment, an area or a brand — results narrow as you type.
Showing all 189 services
189 services across 9 areas of the salon, named exactly as they are named at the chair. Search for the one you came for, or open the area it belongs to.
No prices are listed here. What a service costs depends on your hair length, your hair or skin condition and the products it is done with, so it is quoted honestly at the consultation rather than guessed at on a page.
Hair
Cutting, styling and washing

One standard, applied differently to every guest
Every treatment in this salon starts in the same place: a reading of what you have, not a selection from what we sell.
Babita has spent fifteen years at the chair, ten of them owning New Look Salon in GTB Nagar, Delhi. What came back from that is a way of working rather than a list of techniques — examine first, explain the method, name the product, and be willing to recommend less. A strand test before a smoothing system, a skin schedule planned backwards from a wedding date, and a treatment declined when the honest answer is that it will not hold.
The categories below are how the work is genuinely divided, not how it markets best. Where two of them meet — a bride whose hair needs repair before her wedding, skin work before a photographic event — the plan is written across both, in one conversation.
-
Read before recommended
Hair and skin are examined first; the plan, and its limits, come out of that.
-
Tested on her own head before yours
Demo, then Babita's own hair or skin, then guests. No confidence in it, no place in the salon.
-
Fifteen years, ten of them as an owner
Delhi salon ownership in GTB Nagar, then the same standard built here in Haldwani.
-
A treatment can be declined
If your hair or skin will not carry it, that is said before you book, not afterwards.
Where the work divides
Each area below is practised by trained hands in this salon, and every treatment with a page of its own is linked from the band it belongs to. Read the one you came for — or send the question, and it will be answered without a booking attached.
Bridal and party makeup
A wedding face, built weeks before it is worn
The salon's founding work, and still the work everything else is measured against.
Skin is planned backwards from the date, the look is settled at a trial with your outfit and jewellery present, and the base is chosen for the light you will be photographed in. Traditional and contemporary looks are both familiar ground; which suits you is decided with your features in front of us. A single look for a single evening — a reception, an engagement, a festival, a shoot — is booked as party makeup instead: one appointment, the same reading and the same products, without the trial and the three-month skin plan a wedding needs.
What this covers
- Consultation, trial and wedding-day makeup
- Pre-bridal skin planning across the weeks before
- Engagement, haldi, mehendi and reception looks
- Party, festival and photoshoot makeup as a single booking
- Hair styled in the same appointment — blow-out, set, curls or an updo
- Draping, and lashes chosen for your eye shape

Hair
Smoothing, repair and colour, decided by the hair itself
Keratin, hair botox and nanoplastia solve different problems, and the wrong one costs months.
Condition is assessed and, where it matters, strand-tested before a system is chosen: keratin for frizz, hair botox where the hair needs repair more than it needs straightening, nanoplastia where a deeper-acting straighten is genuinely appropriate. Porous ends, previous chemical work and how you actually wear your hair all change the answer — including to no treatment at all.
What this covers
- Keratin, hair botox and nanoplastia smoothing
- Cutting, layering and finishing for your hair's own fall
- Smoothening and rebonding, where the hair can carry them
- Colour, with a patch test where it is warranted
- Hair spa and conditioning treatments

Skin
Facials that answer your skin, not the season
The everyday skin work — cleansing, hydration, pigmentation and tan — read before it is chosen.
Skin type, sensitivity and whatever you are already using are established first — every cream, serum and prescribed medicine named one at a time rather than summarised — because most complaints after a treatment trace back to the routine at home rather than to the work in the room. Where a course of sessions will serve you better than one sitting, that is what is recommended, with the upkeep between them written down rather than implied.
What this covers
- Hydra and glow facials, matched to skin type
- Cleanups and routine maintenance
- De-tan, bleach and brightening work
- Pigmentation, acne-prone and anti-ageing session plans
- Aftercare and a home routine you will actually keep
Read about a treatment
- Hydra facials Cleansing, extraction and hydration in one sitting, matched to skin type rather than to a season.
All skin treatments at the salon Ten families of skin work, what each is actually for, and how the choice between them is made.
Advanced aesthetics
Appliance-led treatments, spaced properly
Carbon peeling and BB glow work over sessions — the results that arrive slowly are the ones that stay.
These are the treatments most often asked for a week before an event and most often better started a month earlier. Suitability is checked against your skin's current condition and anything a doctor has you on; an inflamed breakout, a graze, sunburn or a recent peel means nothing is done that day, and a steroid cream or a course of acne medication rules it out entirely. Where the timeline is too short for the result you want, you will be told what the time allows instead.
What this covers
- Carbon peeling
- BB glow
- Pigmentation-focused session plans
- Sun protection treated as part of the treatment
Read about a treatment
- Carbon peel An appliance-led session for oil, texture and open pores, planned as a course rather than a single sitting.
- BB Glow A semi-permanent evening-out of tone, spaced across sittings, with the conditions that rule it out stated first.
BB Glow and carbon peel on the skin hub How the appliance-led treatments are spaced, and the conditions that rule them out.
Brows and grooming
Brows drawn to your face, not to a template
Microblading is semi-permanent — which makes the consultation the most important part of it.
The brow and the skin under it are read before any shape is discussed: which way your own hair grows, how far apart your two brows already are, and whether the skin runs oily, because that is what decides whether the pigment stays where it is put. The shape is then measured against your own brow bone rather than matched by eye, and you approve it in a mirror before the first cut. A patch test comes first and is never waived, it holds for roughly one to two years, and the touch-up at four to six weeks is part of the work rather than an extra. The routine grooming sits here too — threading and waxing — and it is timed around the rest of your plan rather than booked into it blindly: hair removal on the face goes well before a facial, a peel or an event, never the day of one.
What this covers
- Microblading, with mapping and a patch test
- Brow shaping and threading
- Facial threading, including upper lip
- Waxing — arms, legs, underarms and full body
Read about a treatment
- Microblading Hair strokes mapped to your own brow bone and growth, with the touch-up planned in from the start.
Permanent beauty at the salon How a brow is read and mapped, what is asked before anything is drawn, and when the answer is no.
Why pigment is diagnosed first What is read on the brow and on the skin under it, and why the shape is drawn last rather than first.
Lashes
A lash studio that reads the lash underneath
Extensions applied one to a lash, weighted to what each of your own lashes can actually carry.
Every extension here is attached to a single natural lash of yours, so that lash is what gets read first — its density, its strength, the curl it already has, and the eyelid it sits on. From that reading come the weight, then the length, then the style: classic, hybrid or volume. Every lash is isolated individually and that stage is never hurried, because two lashes left stuck together pull against each other and both are lost. A patch test comes before a first set, tweezers are sanitised for every guest and brushes are disposable. Where the eye is infected or the lashes are too weak to carry a set, none is applied — and no length is applied that would break the lash holding it, however firmly it is asked for.
What this covers
- Classic, hybrid and volume lash extensions
- Weight and length matched to your own lashes and eye shape
- A patch test before a first set
- Refills every two to three weeks, and removal with a remover rather than a pull
Read about a treatment
- Eyelash extensions Classic, hybrid or volume — chosen from the strength of your own lashes and the shape of your eye.

Hair extensions
Length that moves like your own hair
Matched at the root, blended at the ends, and fitted to what your scalp can carry.
Colour and texture are matched in daylight, and the method is chosen around your hair's density and how you wear it day to day. What the upkeep actually involves — the appointments, the brushing, the sleeping — is explained before you commit, because extensions fail on maintenance far more often than on fitting.
What this covers
- Colour and texture matching
- Fitting and blending into your own cut
- Maintenance appointments
- Removal and hair care afterwards
Read the full hair extensions page Added length and density, matched in daylight and fitted to what your scalp can carry.

Extensions, art and finish — with the natural nail read first and the hygiene handled the way the rest of the salon is.
Nail work is where corner-cutting shows fastest, so prep and sanitisation are the two stages never shortened here: tools sanitised for every guest, single-use files, and the nail plate and cuticle area read before anything is filed. Which of gel, acrylic or an overlay you get is decided from that reading, and the length and shape from what your hands actually do all day. Where a nail is infected, lifting, or already too thin to take more pressure, no set goes on it — and where nails need a break rather than another set, that is the recommendation you will get.
What this covers
- Nail extensions in gel or acrylic
- Overlays, where the length is there and only strength is missing
- Nail art and design
- Manicure and pedicure
- Refills every two to three weeks, and a proper soak-off removal
Read about a treatment
- Nail extensions Gel, acrylic or an overlay — chosen from the state of your own nail and the way you use your hands.

Men's grooming
The men's side of a unisex salon
Cutting, beard styling, colour, treatments, skin work, grooming and massage — handled by the salon's experienced male grooming professionals.
Salon By Babita is unisex, and the men's work is staffed as its own discipline: men's grooming services are handled by experienced male grooming professionals with 10+ years of experience. The reading habit is the same as everywhere else in the salon — the hair or the skin is looked at before anything is recommended. Several of these services are the same services listed above, because a hair spa or a facial does not change by audience; where the work is genuinely men's, such as beard styling, it is named as its own thing.
What this covers
- Haircut, hair styling and beard styling
- Hair colour, hair treatments and hair spa
- Facial, de-tan and bleach
- Grooming services and waxing
- Manicure and pedicure, head massage and body massage
