with Zunera Ovais

From eyelash extensions and acrylic nails to hair botox and micro-blading, Zunera Ovais of Picture Perfect specialises in various cosmetic procedures. s.

Learn more about her passion, strengths and struggles ggles a as she talks about beauty, profession and permanent make-up!

What is your area of expertise?

Our specialty is permanent make-up, eyelash extensions, hair botox and acrylic nails.

What are the challenges that come with your job?

The challenges are numerous, being a mother of two young kids I have to manage time between my business activities and domestic responsibilities. It does get difficult at times but due to the constant support from my family I manage things well. Besides this, client relationship is a key challenge in this particular field.

What is your greatest professional and personal strength?

My professional strength is my ability to learn and my receptiveness towards new ideas, trends and techniques. I’m always on the lookout to learn new things about my field.

It’s a passion for me and it always gives me great pleasure to learn new things from other professionals and experts in my field. Personally, my ability to remain calm and cheerful with my co-workers, subordinates as well as clients are my greatest strengths.

What is the most gratifying thing about your job?

The acclaim, love and support that I receive from my clients is undoubtedly the most gratifying aspect of my job.

What are the most popular treatments that you offer?

PMU, hair botox, eyelash extensions and lifting and acrylic nails are some of the most popular treatments that I am currently offering.

How is Picture Perfect different from other cosmetology clinics?

I provide personal care and individualised attention to all my clients. The cost, products and the quality of service is better compared to the rest.

Do you think there’s a downside of getting frequent cosmetic procedures?

Obviously excessive procedures would have complications but we at Picture Perfect do not recommend getting too many procedures done in a short time span.

What are you most passionate about?

I’m passionate about my clients. I love to give personal care and attention to each and every one of them. At times it becomes difficult which is why I recently decided to let professionals handle my social media for me as I do not compromise on prompt replies to the clients.

WITH SOCH BAND

LIFESTYLE

We catch up with the phenomenal duo Adnan Dhool and Rabi Ahmed to talk about their mutual love for music as well as the evolution of their band Soch.

While Adnan has the world crooning along with his gritty vocals, Rabi sets the pace with his guitar rhythms. Find out what inspired them to make music together and their biggest challenge as a band

What inspired you to make music together?

Our minds were quite similar with our music sense and we knew this could make creating music a lot easier.

How long have you both known each other? How did you meet?

It’s been more than 13 years. We met on a gig through a mutual friend and that is when we played together for the first time.

How has your music evolved since you first began playing together?

At first we were a band producing music and performing, but through the years we worked on creating our own studio that now produces songs for films and drama OSTs. We’ve made music for five films and have sung numerous OSTs as well.

Playing live or in the studio, which do you enjoy the most?

We love performing live. We believe it is almost every artist’s dream to perform for a live audience.

What has been the benchmark of your success?

Uth Jawana was the track that brought us into the limelight but Awari was our big break, and now Soch is winning hearts with Bol hoo.

What has been your biggest challenge as a band?

In a music industry like ours, survival.

MARCH 31-APRIL 6 2019

Which of your own songs is your favourite?

Bandeya is our favourite.

What era of music do you admire the most?

2000 onwards.

You are also performing in Nescafe Basement season 5, what is different now in comparison to back when you performed in 2012?

It is far more organised now than ever. All team members have matured in their sense and understanding of music.

If not musicians, what would you have rather been?

Adnan: I would’ve been into any other common business.

Rabi: I might have had my own restaurant.

Growing up, who were your biggest influences?

Adnan: I loved listening to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan sahab, Jal, Pathan-e-Khan, basically Sufi music was my jam.

Rabi: I’ve always been listening to both eastern and western music. Some of my favourites are John Mayor, Teena Saani and Abida Parveen ji.

Are there any new projects that we should be excited about?

Oh yes, we do have a few exciting projects in the pipeline, stay tuned!

We love performing live.

We believe it is almost every artist’s dream to perform for a live audience Soch Band
