Inspiring Makeup Artists herself, can also be an interesting reading for our readers. Many of them may be induced to have the book.

The feature on Keerti Joshi, the nail artist and nail educator from Mumbai, is one of the highlights of the issue. Her true story can inspire many a nail artist to give room to their passion for nails despite having a family and full time career.

I

n this issue, we have focused on some exceptional makeup artists. Some of them have carved their niche in the intensely competitive makeup business and some are on their way towards that goal. But all of them are riding confidently and with poise in the tortuous road to success with grit, determination and creativity as their priceless assets.

One of the renowned makeup artists of India, Tamanna F Rooz is the subject of our Cover Story. Here we have briefly covered Tamanna’s illustrious career and also about her makeup academy, not only through an article written in third person but also through first person accounts of two of her students and two of her bridal makeover clients. Her work as an artist and a teacher can inspire many budding makeup artists to overcome their roadblocks and take the fight to success.

An article about the research and background behind the Seema V Jerajani’s book Art of Indian Coiffures, written by the celebrated hairstylist

The article on pain management through Infrared Sauna will be helpful for not only the general readers but also the industry persons. The feature on summer skin care by none other than Shahnaz Husain is expected to disseminate important relevant information to our beauty conscious readers. The relevance of the feature assumes more importance in the wake of fast approaching of scorching summers.

As usual, in this issue too, we have supplemented our features, articles and Q&A with information about important events and relevant products for the beauty industry, which will keep our readers abreast with the happenings and trends in the industry.

With the hope that the coming financial year would be even better for the recession proof India’s beauty and wellness industry than the present one, I am ending this short note. Let many more inspiring stories unfold in the industry for us to get inspired and write about...

Happy Reading!

Time to Nourish Hair with Lavender Mint Moisturizing Shampoo from Paul Mitchell

I

n summer you blame the Sun and heat for your dry hair. In winter, you think perhaps the cold and wind could be the culprits, which are stripping your hair’s moisture.

The way your skin needs timely moisture, your hair needs the same daily dose of hydration to keep it soft and supple. Split ends, brittle strands, lack of lustre… There are a number of common problems which can cause less than healthy looking hair. The frequent use of hot tools and hair colour, which usually contain dehydrating ammonia, can contribute to showing signs of hair

damage. The heat can cause moisture inside the hair to evaporate, leaving dry, frizzy and unhealthy looking hair.

The following product from Paul Mitchell can help seal the moisture in your hair for all the seasons. It is named Lavender Mint Moisturizing Shampoo.

Paul Mitchell’s replenishing Lavender Mint Moisturizing Shampoo gently cleanses and conditions hair at the same time; leaving it soft and smooth for hours.

Calming lavender soothes the mind while cool mint invigorates the scalp, giving a spa-like feeling right at home.

Infrared Saunas & Pain Management

Infrared saunas have been proven to aid in the fight against a wide range of health conditions, and that includes general pain management. We’ve all experienced varying levels of pain, but regularly relaxing in an infrared sauna can help Er. Anil Ji Garg

Director: RoyaleFAR InfraRED Sauna +91-9810020872 anil@royalesauna.com

H

ow Infrared Saunas Can Help With Pain Management Infrared Saunas offer key features for combatting the symptoms linked with pain management. For example, the 360 degrees of infrared heat penetration that an individual will experience in our saunas ensures that all areas of the body are being targeted. Additionally, our oxygen ionizer keeps the air in our infrared saunas cleaner and more refreshing than the air outdoors. Literally. Don’t believe us? Then trust the experts!

Benefits of Using an Infrared Sauna for Back Pain Treatment Back pain is one of the most common ailments. Whether it’s genetic or environmental, almost everyone has suffered from a stiff back or tweaked muscle.

Using a sauna may be your answer to treating and reducing back pain while reducing future risk. Read on for more information on what may be causing back pain, tips on reducing pain, and how an infrared sauna can help.

If so, you are not alone. According to statistics published by the National Institutes of Health, one in four Americans suffers from chronic and acute forms of pain. Pain affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined, and is the leading cause of disability. Over 76 million Americans suffer from some form of chronic pain, with millions more suffering from acute pain.

Health Benefits of Using Infrared Sauna: Pain Relief • Soothe aching muscles and joints.

• Reduce pain and stiffness.

• Improve joint mobility.

Due to the diverse nature of many pain conditions, treatment programs may be difficult to implement. Finding a remedy that provides relief can be time consuming, frustrating, and costly. When pain medication and therapy does not provide a respite, options for pain management become limited. Fortunately, dealing with chronic and acute pain has now become easier thanks to the infrared sauna.

Are you a victim of sore, aching muscles?

Do you find yourself experiencing painful inflammation and swelling? Is your joint mobility and range of motion restricted by stiffness and pain?

The idea of thermal therapy is centuries old, but clinical studies have recently shown how valuable the sauna truly is as a therapeutic tool. As one study reports, pain indices were dramatically reduced in

28 New Age Salon | FEBRUARY-MARCH 2020

individuals who underwent thermal therapy. A follow-up study completed found that 77% of the sauna group had been able to return to work, compared to only 50% of the non-sauna group. Another study reported that “All patients experienced a significant reduction in pain by about half ” after just one sauna session.

Saunas are not only effective at treating chronic pain conditions, such as fibromyalgia, CFS and arthritis. Thermal therapy is also a safe, healthy way to relieve acute pain due to muscle or tissues injuries, inflammation and swelling, and limited joint mobility.

While speaking on the occasion, Jim Sarbh, stated, “My association with the brand has been going strong for quite sometime now. Kiehl’s as a brand has always gained my attention not only because of their skincare products but also for upholding their history of 169 years. Honestly, Kiehl’s India happened to me at a time when I knew I was ready to make a conscious choice in selecting a skincare brand which would help me rejuvenate my skin. I can only say I am elated to be a part of Kiehl’s India and be an extended family to the brand. Now to pick up my favourite products from the brand I don’t need to make an international trip. I have been an avid user of Powerful strength line reducing concentrate; it is one of my essentials in my skincare regime. I congratulate the brand on their 14th store and wish Kiehl’s India all the very best for their future endeavors.”

Kiehl’s journey from humble beginnings in 1851 as an old apothecary in New York’s East Village neighborhood to 250 stores around the world including 13 flagship stores in India is one which deserves attention and applause.

Standing true to its commitment to provide unparalleled skincare, all Kiehl’s stores promise unwavering customer service.

Instead those hard lessons shaped her into a strong woman who always strives hard to achieve her goals no matter how tough the path is.

ne day while helping out a friend with a fashion show, she realised her flair for makeup and that set the ball rolling… She worked hard by training under the biggest names in India and abroad and eventually formed her own makeup studio and academy.

Today, Tamanna Makeup Studio & Academy comes across as an opulent chain of makeup studios and academies for many of her clients who come from different walks of life and cultures. TMA is located at three prime locations in the city of Hyderabad and offers an array of services and products that are top-notch and match international standards.

Tamanna graduated from the London School of Makeup, UK. She has been trained under some of the best names in the industry - Alex Box, Chris Miloni, Jessie Powers, Namrata Soni, Joakim Roos, Eugenia Weston, Michela Wariebi, Jessica Padilla, Chris Milone, Michelle Coursey, Melissa Street, Christian Schild, James Molloy, Robin Black, Gregory Arlt, Romero Jennings, Albert Sanchez, Roshar, Lena Koro, Marika D’Auteuil, Maria Bayer, Becca Gilmartin, Phyllis Cohen and Francesca Tolot.

TESTIMONIALS OF BRIDAL MAKEOVER CLIENTS Tamanna Rooz is a perfectionist! I am glad that I chose her services for my wedding makeup. She sprinkled her magic touch with her outstanding skills.The best part about her is that more than being a great professional, she became a friend and a guide to me. She is a gem of a person. Thank you for making me look like a dream in the most natural way. It couldn’t be more perfect! Thank you for all the pampering and love you showered on me!

It was during my MBBS days when I came across an article on Sania Mirza’s wedding pictures. That was when I decided that Tamanna F Rooz is going to be my MUA when I get married.

When I finally decided to marry, I booked with her about 18 months prior; that was how excited I was! She is a

really sweet human being and very down to earth. She made sure that I felt comfortable during the process.

Coincidentally, TV personality Ramoji Rao’s granddaughter’s wedding happened to fall on the same day as mine. Nevertheless, ma’am chose to stick with me, as I had made a prior booking with her. (Lucky me!)

Unlike other MUAs who just insist on overdoing makeup, she knows her work really well. Like the fairy Godmother of Cinderella, she made me look absolutely stunning; taking care of every minute detail. And she managed to make me look like ME! She aims for perfection; works on accentuating one’s facial features. And that is what makes her the best! I can’t wait to get dolled up by her for my brother’s wedding!!

well-known national and international magazines.

Tamanna Makeup Academy: Imparting Skills for a Lucrative Career Realising the dearth of professional makeup academies and classes in Hyderabad, Tamanna launched her own academy in 2017 and today it has become a name to reckon with for its world class teaching techniques and cutting-edge makeup art.

COVER STORY Succinctly, the intensive courses at the academy not only give shape to the dreams of the students but also mould them to be confident makeup artists and entrepreneurs in the future.

TESTIMONIALS OF STUDENTS OF TMA It was an amazing experience for me from the first day of the course till the end. Indeed it was an unforgettable journey. TMA is different from the rest because of its absolute international teaching standard, project work, case studies and the range of international products. The Intensive Pro Course at TMA has so much to offer with new tips, tricks and techniques which no ‘YouTuber’ or social media covers. I came to TMA to learn makeup but I am so happy to have left the academy finding my Guru. She is an incredible and talented human being and her hand is like a wand, which does magic every time she holds the brush. I am so happy to be part of TMA. – Shahreen Arif .........................................

Many of her students, who are not only based in Hyderabad but come from all parts of India and abroad, have gone on to become professional makeup artists by carving a niche for themselves in the market. Some of them have launched their own studios or become an integral part of Tamanna’s team.

With years of corporate training experience behind her, one of the objectives to set up her own makeup academy was to teach the art of makeup to women and girls who do not get the chance to train under the big names abroad.

For the future, Tamanna endeavours to make her courses accessible to all keen learners and students with zeal to succeed. The academy also offers scholarships and fee waivers to students who come from the lower income families.

To be a TMA student is a dream of almost every aspiring makeup artist, and I was no exception. The day I joined TMA, I knew I was at the right place and the simplest reason for that was the positive vibe I got from every corner of the institute and from every person in it, starting from the main door to my seat in the classroom.

She not only mentors and nurtures her students but she also equips them with all the tips and secrets of the trade. Her students and alumni vouch that learning and training with her has not only equipped them with sound makeup skills

Tamanna Ma’am taught me how to bridge the gap between skills and knowledge. She gave me an insight of the makeup industry in terms of the latest trends, which would help me in maintaining a sustainable growth in a highly competitive market.

Some of the most important lessons that I have learned under her mentorship are that to achieve perfection, you need to practice on a regular basis what you have learned; never to limit yourself by what others tell you; be original; be committed and confident, and have an emotional connection with whatever you do.

Last but not the least, Tamanna Ma’am taught me with utmost honesty and transparency, which is the rarest thing in today’s time. My respect for her has no bounds!

BEAUTY TIPS

Summer Skin Care

BY Shahnaz Husain

Cleansing and refreshing the skin assume more importance during summers for removing sweat and oil deposits. Impurities and pollutants tend to adhere to oily and sweaty skin. Overexposure to the Sun and chemical pollutants in the water and air can lead to Sun tan, Sun burn, skin sensitivity, heat rash, pimples and acne

S

kin fresheners and toners play a crucial role during summer, especially if it is hot and humid. They can help restore the normal balances, can keep the pores unclogged, can help stimulate blood circulation to the skin surface and can help keep the skin glowing.

Ingredients like rose water, cucumber juice and water melon juice make good skin fresheners.

Rose water is one of the best known skin toners. Keep a small bowl of rose skin tonic or rose water, in the refrigerator.

This way, it is chilled and ready for use.

Wipe the skin several times a day with it. Use cotton wool dipped in chilled rose water as eye pads. It removes fatigue and is most refreshing. Use cleansers or face wash containing ingredients like tulsi or basil, neem or Indian lilac, sandalwood, lemon and aloe vera. Look for a matte moisturiser, or oil-free day cream in summer, especially for oily and combination skin.

Protect the skin from Sun-effects by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen,

which provides protection from both UV-A and UV-B rays of the Sun. Apply the sunscreen 20 minutes before going out in the Sun, so as to give the skin enough time to absorb it. Apply it not only on the face, but also on all exposed 40 New Age Salon | FEBRUARY-MARCH 2020

areas, like the back of the neck and the arms. A sunscreen lotion of SPF 15 or 20 should do. Use high SPF of 40 if your skin is prone to pigmented patches or spots.

Sun protection is also required while holidaying by the sea or swimming in

BEAUTY TIPS open pools. A sunscreen gel is more suitable for oily skin.

For heat rash, pimples and acne, apply sandalwood paste, which has a cooling effect. Sandalwood helps to heal and soothe skin rashes, pimples, acne and boils. Mix sandalwood paste with a little rose water and then apply, as rose water is also a natural coolant. You can also apply paste of basil, neem or mint. They have antiseptic properties and also help to soothe rashy and eruptive conditions.

Home ingredients can be used to exfoliate and brighten the skin, like ground almonds, oats, wheat bran or walnut powder. Cucumber or pumpkin seeds, or orange and lemon peels, or even mint can be dried and powdered and added to scrubs. Mix it with a liquid ingredient like water, rose water, orange juice, curd or milk. Rub the scrub gently on the skin and wash off with water.

Cleansing the skin at night is of utmost importance; especially in summers, when impurities and pollutants tend to stick to sweaty skin. Cleansing helps to remove impurities. Use a cleanser according to skin type.

Try coconut water to tone and soothe the skin in summers. It also helps to remove

tan and brighten the skin over a period of time. Apply on the skin and leave on for 20 to 30 minutes.

Face packs can play a vital role in skin care by completing the cleansing process, dissolving impurities, softening dead skin cells, removing them and by adding a healthy glow. Clays like Fullerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Earth

(multani mitti), have a cooling effect.

Rose water is also a natural coolant. Mix one tablespoon of Fullerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Earth with rose water. Apply the paste on the face and wash it off after 15 to 20 minutes, or when it is dry.

Fruit packs can be applied daily and suit all skin types. Mix grated apples with ripe papaya pulp and mashed banana.

Yogurt or lemon juice can be added to the mixture. Apply it on the face and leave it on for half an hour. Wash off with plain water. It can not only add a glow, but can also remove tan and softens the skin.

Carry wet tissues in your handbag during the day to cleanse, wipe, cool and refresh the skin. Then use compact powder.

The Story behind My Book

BY Seema V. Jerajani

My journey in this industry began in the 1980s. I was very fortunate to have an ace teacher in hairdressing.

Learning hairdressing was so much interesting then as we had no mannequin heads, all the training including cuts, colour, styling and perms were done on friends and family.

There was always something new one could do and learn

E

ducation has been a integral part of the journey and till date I have been studying, there is always something new to learn, there is always higher levels to achieve. This has taken me to the level that I am a jury for the world championships. Seen the fantastic skills and presentations at the OMC Hairworld championship in Paris, my thought have been that we have so many hairstyles in India however there is no awareness by Indians or the hairdressers worldwide about our hairstyling.

To start with my

I began searching for Indian hairstyles on the internet and to my surprise there was nothing beyond simple three strand braids and a classic bun that's when I decided to do my research and write a book on Indian Hairstyling.

I saw exquisite

district in Tamil Nadu. I came across a pillar figurine, her hair was arranged in a heavy bee-hive shaped bun and decorated with jewellery which was recreated on the model. Bee-hive or Bouffant is a European style for most people, when you see these statues you know its roots are in India.

Art of Indian Coiffures Two decades ago I had visited the Chennakeshava temple, a 12th century Vishnu temple in Belur, Karnataka. I vividly remember the tour guide showing us around the temple and explaining how each sculpture had a unique and different hairstyle. I was so inspired, we are not even aware of such hairstyles or trying to preserve this rich heritage.

In addition to my temple visits, I watched movies of the 1950s, like Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baje, Amrapali, Mughal-e-Azam and Navrang with a specific aim to discover hairstyles from different eras and had references from the Ajanta Ellora caves.

I realized it was not practical to have a photographer following me on my

quest throughout India. So I studied photography and picked up the camera myself.

To start with my research, I decided to revisit the temple in Belur that had inspired me to begin this project in the first place. In the temple, I saw exquisite sculptures on the exterior walls, most of them still intact showcasing elaborate hairstyles.

Pin curls, bouffant, braids and asymmetric hairdos were set in and decorated with jewellery, flowers and accessories. It was almost unreal and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but imagine how exquisite women must have looked back then.

And if they could create these looks without any modern tools, equipment or products, that was a fascinating feat in itself. I created the cover page image with the inspiration from a sculpture at the Belur temple, replicating the hairstyle with the accessories.

I was glad that I had picked up on some photography acumen to help me capture the details of these majestic hairstyles.

Art of Indian Coiffures is a compilation of my decades of experience that will create a strong foundation and set a benchmark to empower and inspire hairstylists and make-up artists from all over the world to take time away from my teaching and commit to this extensive study. And since this was my first experience in not only writing a book, but researching, photographing and editing, it has been an overwhelming journey. When I started, I had no idea on how to go about it, I’m after all a hairstylist and educator

with no exposure in the literary world.

I only knew I had a story to tell but I didn’t know where to start. It was then when I met Georgiy Kot, (an ace Russian hairstylist twice world champion) on his trip to Mumbai. I spoke to Georgiy about my book and he inspired me to not only write about Indian hairstyles but also try to showcase the rich heritage and culture behind it. I knew, I was on the right track, his explanation gave me clarity on how I can get started and present the book in a way that not only showcases looks from traditional and modern India, but also helps hairstylists across the world discover styles rooted in the Indian culture.

In this state-of-the-art book, I have presented a collection of 18 stunning hair and makeup looks that includes 6 Inspirational, 6 Traditional and 6 Contemporary Looks.

The traditional and contemporary looks featured step-by-step traditional and modern wedding hairstyles which are explained with elaborate instructions in English and Hindi and detailed photographs for each step.

"Art of Indian Coiffures” is a compilation of my decades of experience that will create a strong foundation and set a benchmark to empower and inspire hairstylists and make-up artists from all

over the world and continue to preserve the art of Indian hairstyling for the future generations."

Empowering herself through Empowering women -Neha Devgan

Neha Devgan is a makeup artist & makeup educationist from New Delhi. She got into the industry in 2014. She is a second generation beauty expert from her family

S

he got inspired by her mother since her childhood days. Neha admired the way her mother used to self groom herself before going to work and the way she kept herself getting updated about the latest trends in the beauty industry.

Neha wanted to get knowledge about the basics of the salon business before starting out on her own. “Once I understood the working of a salon, I enrolled myself with Anu Kaushik in 2016, a Delhi-based makeup artist. Then I learned from Richa Jain, a Mumbai-based makeup artist, as well. These trainings along with a few professional courses from other renowned makeup artists added on to my credentials.

It was because not so long ago doing makeup was not considered a mainstream career option in India as it is today. Thankfully, she has been married into a family which is already in the beauty industry. She also got the support from her family members, since they too have a long association with the beauty industry. Arneeb got into this industry in 2014 and thereafter there was no looking back.

Arneeb Malik did her makeup artistry course from Marvie Ann Beck Academy of Makeup, in Mumbai. This helped her to upgrade her knowledge and techniques, and exposed her to the latest trends and skills, thereby helping her to take her profession to the next level. She has done fashion shoots for ace jewellery brands like Tribe By Amrapali and Sunita Shekhawat and many more. Arneeb says that Huda Kattan is her inspiration in the beauty industry, particularly for makeup.

Also, she doesn’t take hours to get you ready.

I cherish that assignment very much,” Arneeb articulated.

When asked for her tips for brides, she said, “Be your own self.” “Minimalism is the key. Make your own trend rather than following trends. Always remove makeup before sleeping.
