Dear Friends
Distribution Real Fortune Life Marketing
As the season turns and we approach the year-end, we look back at the journey that Indian salon and beauty industry has had. Yet another successful Salon Management Congress (SMC) in Mumbai gives us encouragement that growth is well on its way. As our eminent panellists and speakers at SMC dwelled on various aspects of Salon Business, the best practices book just shaped up. This issue also brings to you a wealth of insights from experts across the beauty, hair, and salon space — as we bring forth raging issues such as workplace sexual harassment, staff poaching, and other challenges threatening the thriving industry’s balance. In our cover story, stalwart Nalini and her talented daughter Natasha Naegamvala take us down the memory lane and back again to reveal how far we have come and how much longer we need to go to be at par with global standards. JCB’s Samir Srivastav stands alone in addressing the #MeToo Movement and how the salon industry need to put its act together when it comes to framing the modalities. International make-up artist and aesthetician Ritu Kolentine breaks down three trendy festive-bridal looks, just in time for the wedding season. We also track the impressive rise of Korean brand Innisfree in India as Doyoul Lee gets candid on his plans for Innisfree and Amore Pacific. Speaking of which, the beauty industry is geared up for the busiest time of the year and we wish everyone the best for their efforts and success.

uNilever aNNouNCes New CommitmeNts for a waste-free world Global consumer goods company Unilever has announced ambitious new commitments to reduce its plastic waste and help create a circular economy for plastics. By 2025, the multi-brand owner expects to halve its use of virgin plastic, by reducing its absolute use of plastic packaging by more than 100,000 tonnes and accelerating its use of recycled plastic. They also promise to collect and process more plastic packaging than it sells. This commitment makes Unilever the first major global consumer goods company to commit to an absolute plastics reduction across its portfolio. Besides, its existing commitments include ensuring all of its plastic packaging is reusable, recyclable or compostable and to use at least 25% recycled plastic in its packaging. This will require the company to help collect and process around 600,000 tonnes of plastic annually by 2025. This will be delivered through investment and partnerships which improve waste management infrastructure in many of the countries in which Unilever operates.

From opening their salon in Mumbai at a time when professional hairdressing was still unknown for most of the contemporary society, to standing their ground in the face of mounting competition from new brands and entrepreneurs largely focussed on business than service, there lies an incredible journey behind the success of this name that resonates expertise and experience. — By Isha Gakhar

eauty Launchpad was honoured to have spent a few moments talking to the mother-daughter duo who continue to inspire our salon industry, merely by doing what they are best at. The conversation throws light on the many challenges that this rapidly advancing industry faces on a day-to-day basis — unethical practices, educational improvements, standardization and more.
Evolving ChallEngEs The lack of proper awareness and limited resources were the biggest challenge to establishing professional hairdressing in India. Today, awareness is at an all-time high, and all the major players in the global beauty & salon industry have set up shop in the country. And so, the challenges have moved on to higher levels as well. “50 years ago, India did not have professional hairdressing. When our salon was launched, we had to try and figure out what would work for the clients here. We had to teach our staff and clients on how to use hair products. Even shampoos and conditioners weren’t popular nor were there any of the big global brands; and salesmen would come to our doors with international products. We had to make do with limited resources in those days. But today, the options are limitless. Back then, we barely managed colour with 30 tubes — today, we have more than 200! However, it also taught us to be creative and work out the best with whatever products were available,” says Nalini Naegamvala, Founder-Nalini of Nalini & Yasmin Salon.

EthiCs arE important Staff poaching is a rising concern for many salon owners in India. With new entrepreneurs — many with no prior experience in the industry, entering the salon space, unethical practices are at an all-time high. Nalini had recently spoken out about her adverse experience with poaching and how it damages the balance of a thriving industry. She says, “We are trying very hard to form an association of the top hairdressers in Mumbai, who are tired in making an effort of training their staff and then losing them to outsiders with deeper pockets. It’s so much harder to run a business with that kind of challenge and it’s simply not right to buy trained staff like that, just because you have a lot of money. It has to stop and we are in the process of spreading awareness about this. We can always
Nalini Naegamvala, Founder - Nalini of Nalini & Yasmin Salon with Natasha Naegamvala, Director - Nalini of Nalini & Yasmin Salon
assist these new brands and salons — we can give you trainers and many people are waiting for a job opportunity — train them well and retain them, and stop taking shortcuts like poaching.” “What happened to us last year was very hard and it was a difficult situation to come out of. It was a such a huge attrition rate — one new salon just came along and poached more than half of my team — from management to stock to helpers and even the cashier. The problem is, you can’t completely prevent this; it simply has to have a more standardised control. For example, I have heard that in industries abroad, there’s a rule that if you want to leave your current place of work, you cannot transfer to another establishment within a certain radius of your current workplace. We need to consider that people will naturally move from one
establishment to another simply for a better paycheck — that’s okay, but not in mass numbers. Poaching an entire salon is essentially cutting off their business,” adds Natasha Naegamvala, Director - Nalini of Nalini & Yasmin Salon. Elaborating on the need for establishing a salon owners association in Mumbai, Natasha says, “The agenda is to discuss ethical practices. But the point of the matter is that ‘Ethics’ becomes a blurred subject. It is a bit preachy to say ‘my form of ethics vs your form of ethics.’ So, the goal of the meetings is to find ways to make the industry better and an important part of it is ethical conduct. A strong group of salon owners and hairdressers can deliver better results, so down the line, we aim to work in tandem and hope to stand together while trying to reach out to others in the industry as well.” 10.19

COVER FEATURE Quick Recap
Nalini
My journey in hairdressing began 50 years ago, while my husband who worked for Air India was posted in London. At that time, in England, 20-something-old girls were the hairdressing stars. They would complete their professional courses, become successful hairdressers, and eventually, turned into trainers as well. And watching their success, I wished we could have such salons in India too - with well-trained hairdressing staff as well as trainers. Even though I had a young child at that time, luckily I also had some help at home with a lady who took care of my child so well that I could take up the opportunity to pursue a course in hairdressing. With minimal knowledge of hairdressing as a career, I began attending the course and just loved it from day 1. When we returned to India, I met my ex-business partner Yasmin and we launched our first hairdressing salon in Mumbai. Yasmin and I were two different personalities but together we gave our best to ensure great services for our clients and thus, making my wish come true to have a professional hair salon in India which was at par with the ones in England. We gave it our all - there were days when we worked from 7am to 10pm. With young children to take care of, we were blessed to have had the support from our families during those times. We were the first to bring professional hairdressing to India; there were no big brands or even trained professionals to employ at that time. We simply got hold of youngsters who were interested in hairdressing, trained them and employed them at the salon. Ever since then, we have run a small hairdressing academy and hire staff who we have trained.
Natasha
A career in hairdressing just happened to me! My mom did the same with my older sister Monisha and aunty Yasmin with her daughter, Dilshad. When we were at school and junior college, our moms were quite particular that we should not waste any of our vacation time and had us helping out at the salon — much to my disagreement. Luckily, there were aspects to it that appealed to me as a young girl. I have always been a people’s person and loved interacting with the clients. It made me feel good. Then, there was also the creativity and fun of it. After a few years, I started working for an airline — but that didn’t last as I realised I did not like flying! I missed the direct human interactions that came with a salon job. Yes, I could have travelled the world but that did not make me happy. I came back with my tail tucked between my legs and mom put me back into training. I had to start all over again as there was a five-year gap — hairdressing was changing relatively faster back then, so it was necessary to start at the bottom. This time, I got really serious about it and I am glad I had found my calling. I am doing what I am meant to do!
“The whole industry is affected by corruption. One of the things that we need to consider is the quality of hairdressing in this country.The ripple effect of the academies not offering the right course of education is going to snowball into bigger issues down the line.We need to prioritise upping that quality of hairdressers.” — Natasha
“Salon industries abroad have very clear standards and rules to be followed in place.That’s something we need to consider implementing. I find that even the quality of services is substandard to a large extent. If you are not equipped to doing certain things, please don’t do it! You could be dealing with chemicals and without proper training, there’s always a real possibility of danger to the client as well as the hairdresser.” — Nalini
thE Way ForWard “Education is the focus — it’s time to give back!”
30 Beauty Launchpad India | 10.19
Education was a priority for Nalini, even 50 years ago. She, along with her, then business partner Yasmin, had established an academy to train youngsters and hire them at their salon. “I do it with absolute sincerity now, as I had done then. We also started educating the underprivileged and with the support from FICCI, we have trained thousands of girls in the last 8 to 9 years. There have been school dropouts who have managed to learn blow drying and facials perfectly — in one form or the other, we are creating careers. I am fully involved in furthering education,” concludes Nalini. Nalini and Natasha believe that with more support from the government and global brands, skill development can transform hair education in the country. It is all about boosting the calibre of hairdressing in India and creating job opportunities for a well-trained workforce.

The brand offers three options: Repair, smoothening, and hydrating treatments.

The hair specific mask was combed through the hair thoroughly — which comprised of one scoop each of hydrating mask and smoothening mask and combined with few drops of treatment oil. Once applied a therapeutic head and neck massage was given for 15 minutes by the efficient therapist, Wasim. Then, the mask is left on the hair for another 10 minutes. The hair was rinsed with warm water and towel dried. Moroccan Treatment Oil to finish. Hair was blow-dried and then, a little more of the specific treatment oil was applied on dry hair to complete the treatment.
My hair felt restored, smooth and bouncy once again. A must have periodic treatment for healthy hair. The Moroccanoil products are available for retail at The Imperial Salon are the shampoos, conditioners and treatment oils.

repping for the festive season can be fun and challenging at the same time. From planning the parties to perfecting the festive styles, all the preparations keep us on our toes. Women love to have their looks planned in advance and their hair takes the top spot on their priority list. Which is why most of them go to great lengths to ensure they have perfectly styled hair for the celebrations.

However, after the straightening service, their next immediate concern is maintaining the straightened look for a long period of time whilst keeping hair smooth and sleek. Matrix, the No. 1 American Professional brand, offers the perfect solution to all these concerns with Opti.Care Smooth Straight - a specialist haircare range for straightened or smoothened hair. Enriched with Shea Butter, the range maintains the straightened effect of hair up to 72 washes!* It helps soften texture, tame frizz, and add manageability to chemicallystraightened hair to leave it silky smooth.

#BLReviewed Strip: Ministry of Waxing, Juhu, Mumbai
With the onset of the festive season, SouLtree introduces six new shades in its existing range of lipsticks. The new additions are said to be creamier and include more of nudes, pinks, and browns, following the latest makeup trends. The lipsticks claim to be made from pure ingredients such as Wild Honey, Sweet Almond Oil and Organic Ghee that are naturally beneficial. All the ingredients used are said to be ethically sourced and organic, cultivated in the pristine environment of Uttarakhand. They also promise not to use any synthetic colours, fragrances or preservatives in the lipstick formulations.
“The global authority in hair removal” — as it is promoted, Strip: Ministry of Waxing has already established an international presence in 12 cities, with a total of 49 concept stores. With 17 years of experience under its belt, the unique brand is also a winner of over 50 local & international awards. Claiming to be experts in “Vulva care” and pioneers in “The Boyzilian”, the concept store specialises in luxury intimate care and hair removal for both men and women. Their mantra being — Hygiene, Speed, and Quality (HSQ), Strip has introduced ‘No Double Dipping’ and offers Hygiene Packs that contain disposable waxing equipment, conveniently sealed into individual pouches for each customer. A part of the Spa Esprit Group, Strip: Ministry of Waxing is brought to India by Ami Vaghani and Zarna Chainani. On my visit to their recently launched store in India, I opted for a Brazilian and was pleased to find that the staff was well trained and professional in their service. Strip follows a standard format across their stores and keeping up with the HSQ mantra, a different spatula was used for each application of the wax. My concern here was about how they manage the waste generated from this — Ami Vaghani, co-owner of the store assured me that they do their best in terms of sustainability. The waxing experience itself was quite pleasant compared to others — it was considerably less painful and clean. Strip has its own customised waxes — hard or soft — based on each client’s needs. As for the ratio of men to women clients, it was surprising to learn that 40% of their clientele are men — which is an encouraging statistic for the Indian beauty and grooming industry. — By Isha Gakhar

Tall & Proud Go for Mohawk way to add extra inches to your height. Curl up your hair and use a banana clip to transfer rolls from front to down. It will create a stand-out style with extra inches for a beautiful hairdo that goes well with the cocktail or reception look. When it comes to an exaggerated hairdo, it’s best to keep to nudes in your make-up. The most important aspect of a nude make-up look is its fresh skin effect. Start with clean skin and apply moisturiser from Repechage, then apply Repechage Perfect Skin Liquid foundation for clean finish, followed by Repechage pressed powder and concealer.
Bold & Gold A bright sheer wash of gold all over your eyelid with MAC Mischief Wing palette, only barring the brow bone area, gives a denser more opaque gold feel radiance to the make-up. Club it either with brown or black shadow from the MAC Risk Taker palette, smudging where it meets the gold to remove any hard lines. Finish it with heavy mascara and black eyeliner (MAC Brushstroke) to give the face extra dimension. You could apply some of the gold eyeshadow on

the bottom lashline as well. We have also used gold above the cheekbones, mixing it with rose finish using Anastasia Beverley Hills highlighter. The effect will leave an iridescent, jewel-tone on the cheeks. For the lips, a rose pink creamy dab and you’re set. You can even smear the same hue on your cheeks for a fresh flush. Simply let your curls down loose and let your make-up have its moment. Add flower-power accessories, since it is going to be the focus of hairdo trends this year.
reGal & rich The Rajwada Royal Bridal look recreated! Flawless skin is the key, while the eye make-up is minimal with green and golden smokey blend and a dramatic eyeliner. No kajal is used to add the drama to the eyes.

#MyFashionMyTribe - LMIFW SS ‘20 Stands for Inclusivity The 34th edition of India Fashion Week organised by Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) in New Delhi, raised a toast to diversity, with LOTUS Makeup as the event’s title sponsor. The Make-up & Hair department stepped up to the theme with a fresh mood and ideology that brought out the bright and bold side of spring-summer fashion on the runway. Behind-the-scenes, MUAs Ambika Pillai and Kazee Rai created some memorable looks that celebrate individual style and break stereotypes. Super glossy skin with sheer minimal make-up in neutral tones were the biggest beauty takeaways. Graphic liners were also in full-force. There was a lot of shimmer and shine with a focus on highlighting natural features. Statement braids, beach waves, headdresses as accessories, and sleek hair also caught our eye. 44 Beauty Launchpad India | 10.19

Do Indian salons and beauty brands have #MeToo stories to tell? Yes, but only on the grapevine. Lack of awareness and fear of repercussions silence most victims but how much longer?
T o — By Isha Gakhar & Rakhi Jerly
I
n 2018, the #MeToo Movement took the world by storm and shattered years of silence from victims of workplace sexual harassment and the global society’s general apathy to the issue. From politics to Hollywood, voices irrespective of gender finally rose up in unison to condemn the exploitation that has become so ingrained in the corridors of power that it is almost considered a part of any professional’s journey to the top. It is to be stressed here that while working women are more likely to experience misconduct from their superiors or colleagues, revelations made by several male models, American actor Terry Crews, and Bollywood’s own Ayushmann Khurrana, prove that no one is immune to exploitation. While celebrities were at the forefront of #MeToo movement — globally and in India — it was soon clear that workplace sexual harassment is not just the entertainment industry’s challenge. Which led us to question the scenario in our own salon and beauty industry, where human interaction is a quintessential part of every job role. However, our efforts to engage top brands in shedding light on the topic were almost futile; while many people in the industry were aware of its importance, none were quite comfortable with tackling the issue on record. The lack of an official body to oversee the challenges faced by Indian beauty professionals and salon employees complicates our research further. There are no set guidelines or rules that beauty brands or salon owners can follow in case of a complaint being raised. Out of the many brand heads and entrepreneurs who were approached for this report, Samir Srivastav, CEO Jean-Claude Biguine stepped up to share his take on workplace sexual harassment and detailed the processes that JCB has in place to address any incidence that comes to light.

What is your take on workplace sexual harassment in the salon industry?
to promote and instil a healthy work culture while also building a sense of community.
Like all industries, workplace harassment is an emerging and ongoing issue for the salon and beauty industry as well. As the line of work is extremely people-centric, there are more ways than ever for interpersonal issues to be misinterpreted or get out of hand. However, at Jean-Claude Biguine, we have a zero-tolerance policy towards workplace discrimination and harassment. We strive to create a safe workplace for all.
If an employee files a complaint, what are the first steps taken to address it and handle the situation effectively?
Have you come across any such incident or accusations — even through the grapevine? Yes, I have heard of such instances.
What steps can the industry take to avoid workplace sexual harassment? Many a time, sexual harassment goes unrecognized because women are not aware of what it constitutes and what its implications are - directly or indirectly! Every organization must set up a safe and effective platform for women to come forward and seek assistance & solace. The best thing would be to ensure that all women feel supported while also keeping them informed and educated about this.
Are there any rules/guidelines in place to protect your employees from such incidents? We ensure that a lot of emphases is given to educating our employees, irrespective of gender, on this very subject. We conduct training programs to help them understand primarily what sexual harassment at work is and how one can voice their opinion. We have set up a stringent redressal forum for women to come forward and seek assistance. We have also enforced The Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) at workplace Act which is certified and recognized by the government, which helps further this cause and aid women seeking justice while also monitoring the correct working of this mechanism through an external body.
What are the facilities provided to your staff, especially women, to ensure a safe work environment? We have set up a meaningful employee engagement platform called the ‘Friday Forum’ where all our employees get
SamIR SRIvaStav CEO - Jean-Claude Biguine
together for some offline recreation. We also have a monthly Town Hall Meeting in Mumbai and Bengaluru which is presided by the seniors of the organization. Through this platform, we get all our employees together
We have set up an exclusive HR Helpline for our employees to voice their grievances. We also offer multiple avenues through which employees can raise a complaint and when we do receive any such grievances, we focus on the below guidelines: Keep an open mind Don’t pre-judge the situation or make assumptions Take every harassment complaint seriously Treat the complainant with both respect and compassion Don’t brush off the complaint or downplay it Encourages employees to come forward when they experience harassment at work Maintain confidentiality Many victims fear retaliation from their harasser, so address those fears and make them feel safe and secure.
Are you A VIctIm of WorkplAce SexuAl HArASSment? One of the major reasons for misconduct going unreported is the lack of awareness among employees. Here’s how you can identify unacceptable behaviour and take action to help irradicate this problem. Sexual Harassment includes: Physical contact or advances Demand for sexual favours Showing or Sharing pornography Verbal remarks or non-verbal conduct of sexual nature
knoW tHe lAW Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 came into force from 9 December 2013. The Act creates a mechanism for redressal of complaints and also provides safeguards against false or malicious charges. The Committee is required to complete the inquiry within a time period of 90 days. The inquiry process under the Act should be confidential with a penalty of INR5000 if it is breached. Penalties for sexual harassment offences range from one to three years imprisonment and/or a fine. Additionally, with sexual harassment being a crime, employers are obligated to report offences. 10.19

Innisfree Making Big and Bold Moves
Doyoul Lee - Country Head at Innisfree India and General Manager of AmorePacific, leads the Korean skincare brand’s growth in the country. K-Beauty is currently one of the driving forces behind innovations in the global cosmetics industry. Innisfree has grown with this USP and recently made some bold moves with the launch of India-specific products like their Bold Kohl and Camelia Head Massage Oil. Beauty Launchpad caught up with Lee to decode these big steps in the Indian market as well as the way forward for Innisfree and AmorePacific in the country. — By Ritoo Jhha The Bold Kohl is a big step forward what is the research that has gone into creating this line and why? Kohl is considered an essential part of an Indian woman’s make-up routine. Innisfree’s local marketing/product team first studied the latest trends and ingredients. Thorough research and extensive strategizing
you achieve that perfect winged look but will also help you curate the perfect festive and wedding make-up. The product is smartly priced for Indian customers and is doing well in the market.
Innisfree has taken its time with retail expansion in India. With 20 stores now, do you think the Indian consumers prefer the brick & mortar experience more? What are your future plans in expanding boutique retail? We have seen great success in the Indian market with the brick and mortar experience, as the consumers can personally touch and feel the products.
were then shared with the Research & Development team at Innisfree Headquarters in South Korea. Post extensive studies, the R&D team shared the final samples of Innisfree Bold Kohl which we introduced in the Indian Market, in 2017. But this year, we went a step forward and Innisfree India introduced 3 more colours under the Kohl category. As per the feedback shared with HQ, special ingredients were added to the Green & Blue variants to give a little sheen in the texture. The final names were decided by our team, keeping the Jeju Island and global Innisfree standards in mind. Basalt Black, Forest Green, Volcanic Brown and Marine Blue are the four colours offered. The kohl not only helps 48 Beauty Launchpad India | 10.19

Even from the brand’s end we can give oneon-one consultations and suggestions to the customers based on their skin concern and skin type. Our Greenus (Beauty Advisors) are professionally trained to explain about the products and regime; they also tell the customers how to apply a particular product and what is the right way to use them. We have installed vertical gardens in our stores which gives fresh oxygen to the visitors. Over the years, we have opened several stores in prime locations and the future plan is to extend our physical stores at an even quicker pace to connect with our target audience — not only in Tier 1, but also in Tier 2 and 3 cities.
trying new brands and product ranges. Based on our studies, we realized that India is the perfect market for launching Etude House. Etude House has been doing extremely well globally, especially in Dubai. The beauty market in India and Dubai is very similar. People are intrigued by Etude House’s product ranges, the quality as well as the packaging. I think it will get tremendous response from Indians, especially millennials. So far the response to the brand has been amazing and we plan to introduce more products for the Indian consumers.
Has AmorePacific officially launched Laneige with Nykaa? What is your India plan with this brand?
Which are the fastest moving categories/ products in retail? Is it different for online retail? Innisfree’s Green Tea Range has been the most popular and the demand for the same is extremely high in the country. Our most popular products are Green Tea Seed Serum, Perfect 9 repair cream, Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask 2x, Orchid Enriched Cream and Whitening Pore Synergy Serum. Apart from these, the Innisfree My Real Squeeze Mask and Innisfree Skin Clinic Masks are among the best sellers and are the brand’s fastest moving product ranges. Compared to online retail, products in the high price-range are moving well, such as the Perfect 9 Repair range. Our product ranges sell out fast - both online and offline.
You have also launched Camelia Oil — a first anywhere in the world for Innisfree. How has the response been? Are you looking at other categories to launch India-specific products? Yes, Innisfree India is the first Korean beauty brand to launch a hair oil in the country, since oiling is an integral part of hair routine for Indians. Innisfree’s time in India over the years has given us an opportunity to understand the market and the needs and demands of the consumers in depth. Hence, we often try to make changes in our portfolio as per the market needs. Innisfree follows the trend faster than any other brand and we have a principle of changing 30% in & out every year to give newness to our customers. Innisfree Camellia Hair
Range, featuring the Innisfree Camellia Hair Oil is made using Jeju Camellia seeds, which deeply nourishes the scalp, leaving behind a subtle, natural fragrance, making you feel relaxed. Camellia, with its great moisturizing effect, is a traditional ingredient that has been used by women for their hair, for hundreds of years. It is scientifically known to restore the scalp health by effectively treating the problems caused due to factors such as stress and environmental pollution. The response for the product has been great. People have given good reviews and have seen results from using it on a regular basis. Customers really like the texture and its fragrance. Yes, we plan to launch more products that will cater to the Indian audience. We are currently doing research and undergoing studies that will help us in curating the perfect product that one needs for themselves.
We introduced Laneige in the country through Nykaa in 2018 and got a tremendous response from the consumers. Most of the products were sold out in the first couple of days itself. As a well known brand globally, Laneige is a very popular premium beauty brand. Our objective for Laneige is to make it a top skincare brand in the premium beauty brand segment in India. We will connect with the customers through online and multi-brand stores and will also, invest in more marketing activities to familiarize the audience with the brand’s offerings and its USP.
What’s your vision for the next decade? The brand’s vision is to become the No.1 skincare brand in India and to ensure that every household consists of an Innisfree product. We are hoping to expand to tier 2 and tier 3 cities to cater to the target audience.
AmorePacific also launched Etude House—how has the brand faired in the Indian market? Indian market has a vast potential for makeup products. With so many beauty brands already in the country, the demand for more has only increased in the last few years. People are open to 10.19 | Beauty Launchpad India

SOWA
Annual Meeting Debuts in Delhi
S
alon Owners Welfare Association (SOWA) recently brought its members together in New Delhi for their first annual meeting to understand the current issues faced by the salon industry and take measures to address them. The event was supported by luxury hair and beauty brand Maison D’ Auraine, which had recently announced an initiative called ‘Project Green Salons’ that focuses on promoting sustainability in the salon industry. The hot topic for the day was about how the industry lacks structure and the need for improving educational opportunities. Over 100 members of the salon-owners fraternity were present at the meeting to discuss challenges that they face on a daily basis — out of which GST, home services, and staff poaching gained prominence. The key members shared their narrative on how these issues can be tackled for the growth and development of the industry. The slogan ‘I Support SOWA’ was introduced as a mark of identity for salons who will, henceforth, work coherently with the association to fight urgent issues plaguing the business including the menace of Salon-at-Home Services offered through apps. The event was hosted by actor Manish Goel in the presence of Kusum Goel of Meghna Beauty Parlour; Prem Israni of Geetanjali Salons; Sanjay Dutta of LOOKS Salon; Nirmal Randhawa of Indica Salons; Umesh and Meenakshi Dutt of Meenakshi Dutt Makeovers; Pinky Singh of Sahiba Salons; Dr Bharti Taneja of ALPS Beauty Group; Rahul Mehndirata of Trends Salon, Atul Goel of Khoobsurat Salon; Naina Arora of Naina Arora Make-up Studio & Academy, and other eminent salon business owners. Ritoo Jhha, Editor-in-Chief & Publisher of Beauté Espace Media was felicitated on the occasion, for her continued efforts and support for the industry. 52 Beauty Launchpad India | 10.19
“This was the first annual meeting of Salon Owners Welfare Association and we currently have about 150 members. There are plans to expand the association across the country so that we stand united to grow and support each other to eliminate the challenges that come with competition in the market. The benefits of this platform are several — it gives us an opportunity to come together and support each other to grow together. We are thankful to all those who attended the event as well as Arpit Jain who supported us. We also thank Beauty Launchpad for their continued support.” — Kusum Goel, Owner - Meghna Beauty Parlour
“I think that the salon industry is moving at a very aggressive pace and there are a lot of young and established entrepreneurs in the business. However, there is not one common platform that brings them together; there are exhibitions and great shows but everyone wants to sell their brands on such platforms. What we saw today with SOWA is a new initiative where the salon owners and entrepreneurs are coming together to address the key issues which they are facing on a day-to-day basis. Since we all work closely with business owners, we wanted to support them and be a part of this initiative, so that this can develop further and more problems can be addressed.” — Arpit JAin, Founder & Managing Director - Maison D’ Auraine
