Every day is a great day to celebrate the amazing women in your life, but International Women’s Day gives you an extra reason to do just that. Celebrated every year on 8th March, the day encourages all people to actively choose to celebrate women’s achievements, raise awareness about women’s equality, lobby for accelerated gender parity and fundraise for womenfocusedcharities. On cue, In Focus we are celebrating strong women from the beauty and wellness industry. They share their inspiring views on the meaning of the day.

In Hair, we meet Alfonso Martinez who has hairdressing in his blood. Martinez had a tough and demanding mentor in the form of his father, but through persistence and passion he wasable to overcome most of the challenges and today, Martinez is Director of Hairkrone Salons in Madrid and the Finalist for Spanish Hairdresser of the Year 2020/2021 at the Fígaro Awards. He shares his journey. In International Stylist, celebrity hair artist Christian Ríos presents the Polaris collection, a mesmerising photo essay inspired by the colours of the Northern Lights. In Trend Alert, renowned hairstylists in India predict on-point chic hairstyles for the spring of 2021.

Since March 2020, India has been impacted by the deadly Coronavirus. The beauty industry was hit hardest because of the nature of work and resultantly, several salons and spas had to face closure. The segment which saw smooth sailing was online education, as now the academies used the various platforms as an opportunity to address more students and include more courses. We take a look at the different teaching and learning system.

Salon International reflects the interest of urban Indians in beauty and service offerings, and opens a window into the world of personal grooming as a business. Read globally by salon and spa owners, hair and make-up artists, professional brands, aestheticians and academicians, and more, in the field of beauty and wellness, the magazine brings with it 360° know-how of the glo-cal industry.

It has top notch content that covers the spectrum with topics on trends, salon management, interviews of experts, market reports, insights and case studies, merchandising strategies, and more.

A comprehensive, youthful and dynamic magazine, Salon International offers its readers quality updates on trends and techniques and cutting edge scoops in the trade. It addresses a sector that is growing steadily (at nearly 40 percent per year in India) with academies growing at 20 percent; national and local distributors and importers rapidly adding brands to their portfolios as bigger players continue to open subsidiaries and existing manufacturers step up production in proportion to the increasing needs of the end consumer.

A collector's item, Salon International is a must for new entrepreneurs and established players, both.
