Brief us about the various grooming services and wellness treatments provided at 7 Gents Salon and Spa?

Some of the services we offer at our salon and spa are the steam room service after a massage. We also provide services such as Hair spa depending on your requirements, facials for de-tans, glow and so forth..

Apart from all of this, we also do mani-pedis and foot massages, hair consultations and the basic services such as haircuts and grooming.

What prompted you to start this salon? What was the idea that you had in mind when you decided to start this venture?

Seeing that most salons cater to women, I decided to start something exclusively for gents. My salon is equipped with two massage rooms , a section for manicures and pedicures , different kinds of hair and skin treatments and our star attraction is the steam room.

What’s the story behind the salon being called 7 Gents Salon and Spa?

Honestly, I've just found the number to be very lucky for me growing up. So, I thought why not call it “7 Gents Salon and Spa!”.

What are the few things offered at 7 Gents Salon and Spa that make it stand out from other salons and spas? What is the USP of your business? I personally think that the steam room would be our USP, since there are very few salons in South Goa that offer this service. In addition to this, 7 Gents Salon and Spa is a highly-valued salon with top-ofthe-line hygiene standards and professional barbers brought in from other states of India.

What role did family or friends play in setting up this venture? Any quick incident you recall that helped you overcome a hurdle when planning this venture?

My family and friends have been the biggest supporters of my venture.As you know, in Goa, word-of-mouth plays a big role in the success of business ventures. My family and friends contributed in a big way to promote the salon when it just started.

What was the response from the public like when the salon just started off?

Our daily walk-ins are approximately 20-25 people, with high numbers during festivals and times of celebration. We also cater to wedding troops, with a special groomsmen discount, so do come and see us if that's what your requirement is!

What are your plans for the next few years? Do you plan to open more branches of your salon and spa in other parts of Goa?

Absolutely. We will definitely start a few more branches of our salon so that people in different parts of Goa can get to enjoy our services.
