Shahnaz Husain, the Founder, Chairperson, and Managing Director of Shahnaz Husain Group, has successfully translated India’s herbal heritage into pragmatic Ayurvedic beauty solutions. She is a pioneer in the world of makeovers. BE’s Ellora De spoke to her.
Q. How do you perceive wedding makeovers?
A. For a bride, her wedding day is probably one of the most important days of her life. I feel that it is not only important to look good, but also to feel good. The bride needs to feel confident in the knowledge that she is looking her best. This is the age of wedding professionals, where event managers plan and execute tiny details to make the wedding an unforgettable occasion. The same goes for bridal makeovers, where trained professionals attend to the head-to-toe grooming of the bride. They also know how to achieve the perfect look for photographs and videos. My concept of wedding makeovers also includes taking care of specific skin and hair problems and the packages may include such treatments. In fact, our makeover packages can be adjusted according to specific needs. For instance, if there is an acne condition or blemishes, or hair loss, the treatments should be taken a few weeks in advance. The treatments should ensure that the skin becomes clearer and more translucent. The improved blood circulation gives the skin a healthy glow. Facial massages should help to reduce anxiety and fatigue.
Q. How far can the Indian herbal heritage improve the look of a would-be bride?
A. Our treatments are all based on the Indian herbal heritage of Ayurveda. The products that we use for bridal care contain Ayurvedic ingredients, which include herb, flower and fruit extracts, essential oils and other natural substances. Ayurvedic ingredients are gentle on skin and hair and yet have powerful healing properties. They are known to leave the skin soft and glowing and make the hair healthy and lustrous. They help to restore skin and scalp health. The natural ingredients selected for skin and hair care are non-toxic and ensure safety from allergic reactions associated with chemical ingredients.
