Mallika Pirani - Educate To Elevate Talent
 Getting started

I was pursuing a bachelor’s degree in science from Bhavans College and was on my way to becoming a doctor, but it felt forced and my heart was not in it. Deep down I wanted a creative career, and after graduation, I enrolled for a diploma course from BBLUNT. I excelled in each assignment, was selected as a regional finalist for the Colour Trophy competition as an academy entry and stood first in the course. This was enough proof that my calling lay in hairdressing, and it soon became a passion that I wanted to pursue further.

Professional insight

Apart from the year long full-time Diploma in Hairstyling, I have done several international short courses from Toni&Guy in Singapore, Vidal Sassoon in London, Terenzo in South Africa, Trevor Sorbie from UK, Lauren Decreton from France, client communication course with Julie Eldrett from UK. I have attended a couple of artistic seminars, look and learn and master classes of various artists from across the globe. I believe that learning is a lifelong process, and so I am planning to take up new courses in wellness and healthcare management.

Inspired to succeed

I am appreciative of everything creative! Be it hairstyles, beauty, fashion, and so the glamour industry attracted me. I find a new story to inspire me daily. While I do not have any formal mentors, I do follow L’Oréal Professionnel’s international artistic team and am entralled by their creativity.
