Getting started

I have been influenced by art and fashion ever since I was a child. I took to this industry like a fish takes to water. I love what I do!

Professional background

After my graduation in Commerce, I enrolled myself for a professional hairdressing course at the Lakme Training Academy. I know that to upgrade my skills I would need to study further. So, I have also done specialised trainings in cut, colour and styling by international Portfolio artists at L’Oréal, like, Caroline Newman, Bertrem, Laurent D’Creton, Trevor Sorbie, Nathan Walker, and Tom Cornell. Since I conduct trainings, I have realised that teaching is the best method of learning. I have trained over 1,000 students in a six-year period and it has been a learning experience.

Challenges faced

A decade ago, our society was reluctant to approve this industry. Being recognised in this field, in fact recognising this field itself was a challenge. Now, the industry is progressing at a great pace. Some people, like myself, have stuck through, and are in a situation where we are able to give back to the industry, and help it grow further.
