Getting started

I was exposed to salons at an early age, as my mother had been running a salon in my hometown of Sikar in Rajasthan. However, I had never dreamt of entering the industry. While I was preparing for CAT (Common Admission Test for MBA), my mother suggested I follow in her footsteps, as it had a great future.

Journey so far

It has been interesting! On completion of my course from L’Oréal Professionnel International Hairdressing Academy in Mumbai, I was absorbed into the company as a Technical Trainer. That was my rst big step in the hair dressing game. Since then I have had the chance to work with Elton J Fernandez, who gave me opportunities in editorials and films. I have also worked at Mirrors Salon & Academy in Hyderabad.
