Sanju setting a groom’s hair before a wedding

The wedding morning

Groom makeup, by Sanju

Wedding-morning work is its own craft, and it is why people book Gents Camp from outside Trivandrum. Hair setting, beard setting, makeup that survives a Kerala afternoon, and the dhoti draped properly before you leave the room.

  • Groom makeup
  • Hair setting
  • Beard setting
  • Dhoti and mundu draping
  • Pre-wedding grooming
“I was confident enough to trust Sanju Chettan with my makeup, and he did not disappoint on my special day. As promised, he made me look my best on my wedding day and ensured the entire process was stress-free.”

I was looking for a haircut saloon in and around PTP nagar and came across this place. It was a good experience. Visited on a Thursday, around 7:30 PM. Had less waiting time, in fact zero waiting time for me.

Sanju bro did the groom makeup for my wedding. It was awesome! I really loved it. He kept it simple as I would like it at the same time beautiful. He helped me with the dhotti drapping which was perfect!

The Gents Camp barbers outside the shop in Vattiyoorkavu

An all-Malayali team, most of them here for years

The barbers here know what people in Trivandrum actually ask for, and they keep up with what people are asking for now. That combination is rarer than it sounds, and it is why a customer sends his father and his son to the same chair.
