I am an accomplished and Internationally Certified Image Consultant. My name is Balambika Parikh, and I hold dual certifications from the renowned Indian School of Image Management and the prestigious International Image Institute. I founded Crimson Hues in 2020, embarking on a visionary journey to help people become more confident versions of themselves. My mission with Crimson Hues is to holistically elevate my clients' appearance, behaviour, and communication skills while placing a strong emphasis on sustainability.
To me, image consulting is not just about superficial changes; it's a profound process of personal evolution and self-discovery. I firmly believe that this transformation must be real, relatable, and sustainable.
With over 20 years in the dynamic fashion and garment industry, I have adeptly collaborated with a diverse spectrum of men and women. I am an expert in styling, wardrobing, decluttering, and colour analysis and focus on improving my client’s image to suit their body type, personality, lifestyle and work.

No matter how old a person is, they would totally benefit from learning what their personal style is and how to dress for it. For this means everything from dressing for comfort, to success. And we all want to look at our reflection in the mirror and feel great about ourselves! At the grand old age of 45, thanks to Balambika, I have finally taken the first steps towards learning how!

Client
A fantastic experience to become aware of my style, colour, body shops and proportion. I was inspired by your extended knowledge of fashion and a very good sense of style, expressed with strong professionalism. I thoroughly enjoyed our shopping and makeover sessions.
APARNA
Client
As a mother of 3-yr old, an entrepreneur building her business from scratch in the middle of the pandemic, there's been really no time to take a breath and look at myself, cater to my needs. I knew I needed a change for long. That's when I reached out to Bala, and she helped me usher in that change. She taught me how to keep my wardrobe sustainable and yet versatile. Just by changing my hair and glasses, we could bring out so much character.

As an Entrepreneur and a Management Professional, I was always presentable and well-groomed. Honestly, I never experimented on any looks, colours, textures and always been inside my comfort zone until I met Balambika!! I would gladly recommend Balambika as an Image Consultant to my peers and network because of her brilliant eye for details, good view about fashion, trends and she knows exactly what suits different body types and type of person.
