Salon International - June 2015

I denne utgaven

This month’s cover story on international salon brands doing brisk business in the country has been sketched. While the local salons are still coping with lack of trained personnel and procurement of quality projects, global salon players have cohesively blocked the loopholes and are focused on generating business and bringing complete beauty and wellness solutions to their clients.

There are interviews with celebrity hairstylists like Patrick Cameron and Diva Poulous who come forward to share their professional journeys. The lesson for all is that while you may start small, if you have fire in your belly, no force on earth can stop you from becoming successful. In make-up, Priyanka Kapoor, independent make-up artist, shows grit and spirit that rivals that of experts. From famous Bollywood actors to cricketers and members of the royal family, she has done bridal shoots and sessions for them all. Tamara Corriea, Spa Manager at Spa Sitara is Goa, has a goal to put her spa on the map of Goa and include professionally skilled and trained workers in her team. She shares her plans with us.

Apart from this, new openings of salons, products in the market in the hair, skin, make-up and equipment category, Paradise Academy in Kangra in Himachal Pradesh and The Spa at The Raffles in Istanbul in our Visual Dynamics section, are the other highlights.
