Editor In Chief & Publisher Ritoo Jhha Managing Editor Kanishka Ramchandani EDITORIAL

Dear Reader The Beauté Espace headquarters are buzzing with activities. The team here is all excited about the events lined up... and is putting in their best efforts to make a lasting mark on the Indian salon industry.

But first things first! Let me start off with a brief outline of what this issue is all about.

The September issue is dedicated to men’s styling, for this is one segment that has gone from niche to mass, from barbershops to salons and from shop-around-the-corner to luxury brands in the span of a decade. From the mandatory monthly haircut, men have graduated to hair spa treatments, colouration and styling. And that makes the present an exciting time for salon professionals as they get to experiment and implement global trends on Indian customers. Keeping this in mind, in this issue we explore the changing grooming habits, hair trends, skincare requirements and wellness options of men.

I hope you find the insights provided in our features useful as you cater to the growing number of male customers at your salons and spas.

We also have our usual dose of business interviews, which includes an interaction with Samir Srivastav, CEO, Jean-Claude Biguine Salons; Lydia Sarfati, Founder, Repêchage; and Vikas Malani, Owner, BodyCanvas. Get inside the world of glamour with our detailed trend report on the Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2017 season.

And that brings us to the on-ground event that has kept us busy this past month. Beauté Espace is proud to present Beauty Launchpad as the official media partner at the Professional Beauty India. At its Mumbai exposition, Beauty Launchpad will present the first-ever Salon Management Congress. With experts such as Natasha Naegamvala, Virginia Holmes, Roopa Ambekar, Vikram Mohan and Vikram Bhatt on the dais, the two-day seminar promises to abound in knowledge, learning and practical tips on the salon business. It’s completely unmissable for every salon professional in Mumbai.

We have more such exciting events on our calendar. Stay tuned to Beauty Launchpad magazine and www.beauteespace.net to be on the top of the game in the world of beauty.

GO BOLD SAYS L’ORÉAL PARIS Celebrity make-up artist Sir John encourages make-up aficionados to go bold with make-up The fun in beauty is about experimentation and trying new looks. According to Sir John, bold makeup is one trend having a maj or beauty moment. While a more natural look will never go out of style, there is no better time than fall to embrace a bold look – whether metallics, color blocking or dramatic lashes. When it comes to pulling off this trend, he notes it is all about finding the shades and textures that pair best together. Sir John says, “ Metallic and color block makeup are the looks I keep coming back to with all my clients.

If you are looking for a quick way to add color and texture, try playing up your favorite features with either technique. But sometimes, a bold lash is the only thing you need to create a bold and dramatic look.”

PROFILE

TIME TO RECHARGE:

LYDIA SARFATI IN INDIA Owner of a leading global brand Repêchage® , author of ‘S uccess at Y our Fingertips’, Beauty Launchpad presents Lydia Sarfati’s inimitable jou rney. — By Ritoo Jhha I learned that my skin care training in Poland would not allow me to practice here, so I had work during the day and went to school at night to obtain my license! After working at various spas in New Y ork City, I realized I wanted to take my passion for skincare and the spa industry to the next level. This inspired me to create the Four Layer Facial® , an innovation that would allow great results be achieved by everyone.

Due to the exceptional response by editors to the launch of the Four Layer Facial® and the Repêchage® brand, I was able to launch my professional career and brand in the spa industry.

L

ydia Sarfati’s jou rney started when she first landed on the US soil in 1970. She started off as a make-up artist and slowly made her way into the skincare arena. Within a decade she had worked with brands like Anne Keane Skincare and opened first skincare salon. In 1977, she launched Repêchage and the Four Layer Facial in New Y ork. By 1980, both the brands have grown exponentially. Lydia opened the first Repêchage® Treatment Center & Dayspa in 198 9 and by 1990 the company had grown 10 times. Lydia’s husband, David Sarfati, brings value to the brand with his business insights.

Over the years, both the brand and its founder have garnered numerous awards and accolades.

STARTING OFF This passion ( for skincare) carried with me into adulthood, and I obtained my skin care training in Poland. When I moved to the U nited States in 19 70,

in fact inspired us to formulate and create products to not only to better serve the Repêchage® client in India, but products that have been proven to be needed and beneficial to the market worldwide.

At Repêchage, we promise to develop effective and resultsoriented products and treatments that combine natural and seaweed-based ingredients with advanced science and technology.”

WHAT’S REPÊCHAGE ALL ABOUT? Repêchage® is a French word for ‘ second chance’ – a second chance for beautiful skin. At the heart of all the Repêchage® products is our rich, exclusive seaweed filtrate, derived from sustainably harvested seaweeds.

Through a proprietary extraction method, we are able to retain essential vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and amino acids found in seaweed. We use an abundance of organic and natural ingredients, too REPÊCHAGE & INDIA I have found that the women in India have the same passion for beauty and skin care as I do. As in the medical practice of Ayurveda, beauty and selfcare are an integral part of their overall wellness plan, j ust as important as diet, exercise and good, healthy habits. This is an essential part of the Repêchage® philosophy as well.

Since 2014 , we have had a successful business partnership with Bikram Sapra and JB Skin Care, our exclusive distributor of Repêchage in India. Their feedback and input have •

HAIR/Interview

THINK BIG: JENNIFER NEGRON

TO SALON & STYLIST During her recent visit to India, Jennifer Negron, International Educator, ColorpHlex spoke to Beauty Launchpad on the significance of establishing a solid foundation to build a meaningful hairdressing career. — By Isha Gakhar PRO ADVICE TO THE SALON OWNERS Think big and start small! Have big dreams about your salon and the stylist you want to be and j ust start with the smallest thing and work up from there. Support your stylists with great products and education. It is the basis for any successful business. Following sanitation guidelines and keeping a clean salon always makes a client feel comfortable.

EDUCATION FOR A HAIRDRESSER’S CAREER I think education is the basis of a great hairdresser. Educating yourself with schooling, taking extra classes and simply studying another stylist are important. Y ou can learn something from any stylist no matter where they are in their career...even if it is what not to do.

COLORPHLEX & ITS USP ColorpHlex is a bond builder that has many uses. Y ou can use it as a standalone treatment, with colouring, highlighting, perming or with the chemical relaxer.

CELEBRITY STYLING VERSUS CLIENT STYLING A lot of clients come in with a picture of a celebrity’s hair style and colour that they want. It’s really important to have a thorough consultation with your client and make sure that the colour and style that they bring in is compatible

One celebrity that needs a makeover?

Trump! I think every hairdresser cringes when they see his hair. with them. I also like to advise my clients that most celebrities have a stylist to do their hair, especially on a photoshoot for a magazine and they need to be dedicated to learning how to use the proper tools and products to get the desired style they want and not get frustrated if it’s not exact.

Vidal, Before Sassoon: If You Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Look Good, We Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Look Good! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; By Rohini Lall

T

here is a bizarre restlessness in Prashant Attri, Almost anxiety riddled, he sits, stands, bend over and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever take his eyes off you, not until he is done. Then he breaks out into a satisfied grin and asks if you are okay with what he has done. If you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, he redo it without replacing that smile with a frown.

There are names he mispronounces but scissors never betray him. His spoken word isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t particularly good and french even worse. All though, he does know how to promise and deliver a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153; When I was in high school, my parents knew that it futile sending me anywhere else. I wanted to cut and colour and crimp and curlâ&#x20AC;? , he says with a twinkle in his eyes brighter than usual times.

Y ears ago, while he was a trainee, j ust a young 17 year old with a pair of scissors, he committed a grave error. He chopped a girls hair almost half a foot and moved her to tears. He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been fl awless since but he has been careful. â&#x20AC;&#x153; I still want to be Vidalâ&#x20AC;? , he tells me, the dread and giddiness in his voice reaching a heady mix.

His hands are scarred with cuts and burns and are riddled with bandaids. â&#x20AC;&#x153; It is from my new scissors,â&#x20AC;? he informs, he responds amidst a â&#x20AC;&#x153; they will be faithful after they have drawn blood.â&#x20AC;?

An army brat, Prashant considers himself an eternal learner.

The fire for knowledge burns bright here. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discipline in work and innovation in in his art.

He loves LOOKS. A place where he found passion,

camaraderie and a safety net. â&#x20AC;&#x153; I will go nowhere. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here to stay till I retire.â&#x20AC;? He informs sternly. â&#x20AC;&#x153; This is home for me.â&#x20AC;?

Attri has been with looks for a while now and really wants to be no place else.

He reiterates, â&#x20AC;&#x153; I j ust want to be Vidal one day. Just his confidence, his brilliance and his temperament. The three wives? That I can, and will skip.â&#x20AC;?

He goes on to talk about bringing brighter colours to India and does not see a reason as to why not. Bright j ade, turquoise, fl aming red are his preferred colours and he says that there has been a sharp increase in people who want them.

In a blink of an eye, he is taken back to cutting on dummies. â&#x20AC;&#x153; They never complainedâ&#x20AC;? , he guffaws. Ten years down the line, complain or not, he prefers the company of people. He likes taking care of their hair as if they were his own. He wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t caj ole you into it because he wants to make money. He does it since he cares.

His tattered j eans pockets contain clips to hold hair in its place and his eyes dart all over the place again. â&#x20AC;&#x153; If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look good, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look good.â&#x20AC;? He reiterates his idol.

One day, he says wistfully. One day, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be Vidal.

Rohini Lall is the author of The Sour Faced Moon. She is an avid reader, entertainment junkie and and likes to call herself dysfunctional without good hair.

O

ver the past decade, the Indian hair industry has undergone drastic changes. Indian celebrities have made way to Hollywood actors and football stars as poster boys at men' s saloons and barber shops. Salon owners have adopted trendy names for their establishments and have realised that every penny spent on

interiors is worth it. With the advent of unisex salons, men' s saloons have stepped up their game. But the most important infl uence has been that of the male consumer. Exposure to western media, the need to look good on social media and change in lifestyle has turned the average Indian man into a metrosexual being.

GLOBAL FLAVOUR Internationally the hairdos for men for 2017 rely heavily on textures. While the undercut continues to rule, the top lengths are open to interpretation. From comb-overs to pompadour and from side fringes to messy textures, there is a lot of experimentation seen in men's haircuts. The stress is on making the cut versatile to enable the wearer to style it according to his mood and occassion.

The international runways also saw a return of the long hair trend. Here again texture plays a big role. But as any hairdresser will tell you the key to wearing long hair is investing in the right kind of haircare.

In terms of colour, men worldwide prefer to keep their look subtle. Men with dark hair tend to add variation with blonde highlights or go for global hair colour with warmer shades of browns. Men generally don' t like drastic hair colour makeover but there is a niche brigade that' s taking on fashion colours in their stride. The salt-n-pepper look is trending big time with platinum blonde selling like hot cakes.

And that brings us to the Indian scenario.

HAIR ON THE HOME FRONT As the faded undercut had caught the imagination of Indian men last season, we were eager to find out how the trend is faring this year.

NAJEEB UR REHMAN Professional Partnership Service Director, Schwarzkopf Professional India â&#x20AC;&#x153; The classic fading is back with a new twist. Options are low fades and mid fades where the hair at the back and sides gradually goes longer as we go higher to the occipital area â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from a zero clipper attachment to 1mm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to the desired length. In hair colour for men, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maj orly whitish blond. The hair needs to be pre-lightened twice and then we use a neutralising colour ( like Igora Royal 9 .5 -1 or 0-11 or 0-22 with lightest of base) , which will cut/ neutralise unwanted yellow or copper tone.â&#x20AC;?

According to Naj eeb, messy hair with too many wisps and out-of-the-bed look is passĂŠ . He recommends regular hair spa treatments for cleansing and moisturising benefits as they replenish the hair and restore its health.

DHRUV ABICHANDANI Dream Team, Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;OrĂŠal Professionnel

MELROY DICKSON General Manager â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Education, MATRIX India

He is rooting for pushback, fades and strong sharp partings in cut and styling while recommending blended tones and global colour of French Browns in colour. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Wet spikes and the square perimeter at the back looks are passĂŠ ,â&#x20AC;? he quips.

Dhruv also brings to light common mistakes that men make while going for a haircut and colour such as not using conditioner for haircut or colour services and opting for stripe-y highlights. He recommends the Cool Clear Shampoo from the Homme Care range and the Mousse, Hairspray and Clay from the Homme Styling range

by Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;OrĂŠ al Professionnel as well as the Mythic Oil Ritual.

â&#x20AC;&#x153; Short hair is still in with a lot of fade around the hairline. Hair tattoos seem to be on the rise. The man bun is out.â&#x20AC;?

Melroy emphasises the use of the right hair products for men. He recommends a suitable shampoo, conditioner, a gel or a wax and serum in your grooming kit. Making haircare top priority is what he believes in and therefore the Matrix Scalp-Pure Detox treatment is a must-do for men as it takes care of dandruff, excess oil secretion, itchiness and odour.

NAJEEB-UR-REHMAN ENLISTS THE MISTAKES THAT MEN SHOULD AVOID Your hairdresser will always suggest the best cut and colour look suited for your face type, hair texture and lifestyle. Hence I advise clients to listen to feedback of the stylist instead of simply following trends. There are a few thing which men should avoid while going to the hairdresser.

Rushing through the consultation: Hair consultation is an important part of any haircare routine, especially when it comes to deciding on a new hairstyle or colour change.

The better the consultation, the better would be the result.

SALON SPEAK ' What men want? â&#x20AC;? is the key question that every salon owner is concerned with today. Catering to widely conservative Indian male and getting him to be trendy is a challenge that the salon industry has taken upon itself. Here, we try to help you out by asking salon professionals what their learnings regarding the male consumers are all about.

Sachin Kamat, Director - Employee & Customer Engagement, Enrich Hair & Skin Solutions Pvt Ltd., highlights the services that men prefer.

He says, â&#x20AC;&#x153; Haircuts and hair colour, beard trims and shaping and hair treatments, in that order. Going by the volumes, men are also getting on to pedicures and manicures. There is a small but significant segment doing facials, too. Top hair concerns for men are the same as that for women â&#x20AC;&#x201C; having a good hair day. More and more men are interested in getting sharp and trendy hair styles. Highlights are gaining favour, too.

Men are also addressing concerns like greying and thinning in more numbers than before.â&#x20AC;?

Krishna Gupta, Managing Director, Lloyds Luxuries Ltd., is part of the enterprise that brought the concept of luxury barbershop to India with its brand, Truefitt & Hill. He observes that while hairfall and thinning remain the primary concerns for Indian men, they walk into the salon predominantly to get a classic

Hiding your hair history: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hide anything regarding what you have done to your hair, whether it is the colour/ dye you have applied yourself or a particular oil or mask you are using.

Blindly following trends or looks: Pictures are okay but that should be only for the reference. It will give your stylist a good idea of what you want, but make sure to go with realistic expectations.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in too much hurry: Finishing takes a bit of time.

haircut. This throws light on the importance of upselling for the salon staff. The average male consumer is not known to read up about trends, so what is recommended at the salon makes a huge difference to the customer' s average spend.

According to Shailesh Moolya, Technical Director, Juice Hair Salon, the male customer is interested in haircuts, hair spa, global colour for grey coverage, oil massage, shave or beard trimming and facials and pedicures. The key areas that concern him are hair thinning, balding, grey hair, pigmentation and unibrow.

That brings us to the big ticket question. How much are male consumers really spending on grooming? The average ticket price varies from `1,000 to `3 ,5 00. Kamat says, At Enrich, the average ticket size is close to a thousand rupees, which means all our male customers typically would be doing a haircut plus an additional service that' s borne out by our average service count, too. At Juice salons, it is between `1,5 00-2,5 00.

Apart from services, the retail counter at a salon is another excuse to add to the average spends. After having experienced best-in-class service, the male consumer is convinced that he needs to continue with his grooming efforts at home and doesn' t mind spending on expert recommended home care products. For Moolya the best selling products are Hair gel, wax, spray, peppermint-fl avoured shampoo/ conditioner, oil, beard oil/wax, face scrub and facewash.

Kamat clarifies, â&#x20AC;&#x153; Our best selling retail products in sheer volumes are shampoos and conditioners but the numbers in products that target specific issues like thinning are on the rise.â&#x20AC;?

The Indian male consumer holds huge potential for the professional salon industry. The more trend-conscious he grows, the better are the prospects of salons coming up with male-specific treatments and services.

SAVE MY

TRESSES! Puneet Wason gave a magical makeover to my intensely damaged hair. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; By Isha Gakhar

BEFORE

I

recently got my hair coloured by Delhi-based hairstylist Puneet Wason at his salon in Lajp at Nagar. Puneet comes with seven years of industry experience. Currently, associated with label.m and ALFAPARF Milano as their educator, Puneet is responsible for conducting training sessions across North India. His extensive skills and knowledge lets you relax, knowing your hair is in good hands.

REVIEW I had intensely damaged hair, thanks to a previous colouring session that turned out bad. Delhiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humid weather was further adding to the damage. As I was struggling with a frizzy mane, Puneet suggested a short hair length and global colour rather than a fashion-forward hue. I was advised to leave my

8

hair as natural as possible so that it could recover from the bleaching and irregular colour patches applied earlier.

Puneet used ALFAPARF Milano Colour Light Brown 5 along with ALFAPARF Milano Hair Supporters to enhance the quality of my hair. The colouring process was delightfully odour-free.

RESULTS Treatment left my hair shinier and visibly healthier. The global colour gave an even tone to my hair but at the same time kept the chemicals to minimum.Though it would take some time for my hair to completely heal, this colour treatment has satisfactory improved the touch and feel.

Every season we create magic on the runway with our stunning hair and makeup.

Q How was the make-up and hair created for the 6Degree Studio shows?

The makeup for the 6 Degree Studio shows was extremely creative and out-of-thebox, we are constantly innovating and pushing ourselves. Hence, we created unique, out-of-the-box looks, which would complement each designer’s outfits, story and mood board, while being mindful of the trends in focus this season.

Nakita Singh/Meraki Project Two cute topknots are balanced with pink lips and soft eyes

Q Were they created in consultation with the designers?

Y es, the looks were created after in-depth discussions with the designers and stylists about their collection and how they wanted their models to portray their stories.

We also did look-tests for each of the shows to finalize the hair and makeup and incorporate changes for a smooth pre-show prep.

Q

Shreeya Somaiya Magenta lips, stylish topknot balance lavish blush for the eyes, forehead and cheeks.

What new interesting touches were given to the hair and makeup and for which designers?

Some of the most interesting looks we created were with a combination of holographic makeup and intricate braids. We played with high-shine cheeks for Divya and Jayanti Reddy, which gave them a luminous look. We created tribal braids for Matr ‘ Bihar Khadi’, Kopal New Y ork. For the Meraki Proj ect, we gave the models raver pigtails to gel with the playful vibe of the show.

We did eye-catching interrupted liners for the Grazia Y oung Designers Winners show – which was great conversation starters.

We created Goddess inspired makeup and did Bindi art for the ‘ Reverence’ by Vasundhara j ewellery show and some double decker braids for Anshu Arora for a strong, boss woman appearance.

For Hetal Shrivastav, we took inspiration from the Banj ara culture and added black metal j ewellery to the hair.

Our most innovative look was for ‘ Refl ection’ by Huemn. We created some graphic, bold looks with interrupted liners, metallic hues and dark colours. The mood was ghetto and mysterious.

Q What is the current trend for hair and makeup for the coming season?

MAKEUP This season the hottest makeup trends include Holographic makeup, which can be adopted in multiple ways - from holographic cheeks, glitter liners to sparkly lips.

We are also going big on Interrupted Liner. This trend focuses on applying the liner in an asymmetrical manner to create drama.

Another current favorite is the Sunset Eyes - which combines all shades of the sunset to create dreamy eyes. Dimensional lips are also an easily adaptable trend for the season.

Vasundhara Mantri A goddess like makeup created with bindis for the ‘Reverence’ Show of jewellery with centre-parted hair.

HAIR Flared cornrow is the most-talked about style right now, which comprises multiple intricate braids. This hairstyle keeps your hair in place, while giving you a strong, bold appearance. It’s perfect for the days you want to channel Boss Woman vibes.

S-waves are another maj or trend that are currently extremely popular amongst fashionistas and hair stylists. Their soft, delicate charm adds femininity to the entire look.

BEAUTY/Men’s Skincare

GROOMED TO

PERFECTION Indian men are taking skincare seriously, and that is good news indeed! Apart from looking good, they are now investing in good skin health. Beauty Launchpad finds out more.

— By Kanishka Ramchandani

alking down the aisle of Gourmet West at Westside, I came to an abrupt hall. Peering at me from a shelf in the grooming segment was a set of products for hair reduction. Targetted at men who would like to avoid the 5 o’clock shadow, the product promised lesser hair growth.

I was astonished at the fact that such nuances of men’s grooming were being explored. The male brigade has finally arrived on the grooming scene!

Whenever I went in search of data regarding the behaviour and preferences of the male consumer regarding skincare, I came across information from retail brands. There was not much information available from skin clinics or professional skincare brands. Today, as men have made skincare products a part of their daily routine at home, they are now stepping out to look for specialized care. As dermatologists confirm, Indian men are opting for expert solutions for skin in a bid to maintain their looks,

improve their personality and to achieve holistic health.

“Th e male grooming industry has seen significant changes over the last decade with increasing aspiration among men to look better. Today it is completely acceptable for men to invest in skin care treatments in order to improve their appearance resulting in increase in self confidence,” says Rashid Mokhdoomi, Senior Director, Marketing India and South Asia, Lumenis Ltd.

PRIME SKIN CONCERNS FOR MEN  Acne  Pigmentation  Laser hair reduction  Tattoo removal  Fungal infections  Excessively oily skin  Tanning  Wrinkles and fine lines

While the skin problems faced by men in metros, mini metros and tier II and III cities remain constant, it is the penetration of technology to tackle these problems that makes the whole difference. Dr Goel says, “S cience fiction formulas, biochemicals and ingredients such as Peptides, copper peptides, nanotechnology and even

Dr Apratim Goel

THE MALE ATTITUDE The approach of male clientele towards skincare is fuss-free and minimum maintenence. As Dr Soma Sarkar, Medical Director and Dermatologist, Skin Inn, point out: “I ndian men are looking for skincare regimen rather than agressive treatments. They like nofuss treatments and home care. They don’t mind spending but they want less sessions. The men from service industry, bankers and media infl uencers are very much interested.”

Dr Amit Karkhanis, Medical Cosmetologist and Director, Tvacha Clinic has noticed that the footfalls at his centres are equally divided amongst men and women. Men come with a long list of concerns such as hair regrowth and transplants, skin pigmentation and radiance and fat reduction.

Dr Apratim Goel cites the example of filmstars such as Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, John Abraham and Shahid Kapoor who are changing the way men perceive their skin by talking about skincare in their brand endorsements. She says, “F rom the face wash, shaving products, night care cream to the cosmetic inject ions like Botox and Fillers, men are all charged up and ready to be a part of this glamour world.”

“Newer scientific developments are enabling skin care brands as well as technology to come out with tailor-made treatments and products containing specific ingredients that are more effective on a male skin.

Hence the mindset of a male client is changing and they are accepting new treatments,” she adds.

stem cells and placental extracts are making an impact in men skin care market.”

Dr Soma Sarkar

Dr Amit Karkhanis

The wellness and grooming industry of men has been soaring high these days and bringing unbelievable revenues. Everybody wants to look good. Almost 50% of the mass population in the male category is adults of age between 18-30 years. The data suggests how the male grooming business will be in India. The adoption of western culture, urbanization, elevated standard of living & increased disposable income is contributing to the growth of the grooming industry for both the genders. Men are now spending a handsome part of their income as a disposable amount for their grooming sessions in spas and salons. Lumenis, as a global leader has been very influential in disseminating awareness about the technology among both men & women. Our marketing revolves around the amalgamation of both online and offline activities to impart the right education about the technology & indications to the target audience.

- Rashid Mokhdoomi, Senior Director, Marketing India and South Asia, Lumenis Ltd.

WHAT’S THE FUTURE LIKE? Now that the men have walked an extra mile, from homecare to professional help, to get better skin are they likely to continue on this j ourney? Y es, say our experts. Dr Sarkar affirms that in the future we could look at an increase in men clients and for services such as facials and body toning. Home care usage will also increase.

Dr Karkhanis rightly pointed out that while women perceive skincare as an essential part of our daily lives, men are yet to reach that point. But with good looks becoming integral to our changing lifestyle, Indian men will have to catch up with the need of the hour.

Dr Goel is quite positive about growth in this segment. She says, “ As a consumer, customisation is always welcome so skincare based on ones DNA print, work environment and personal needs is the future. Even our technology needs to be gender specific. For example the newer triple laser called Primelase HR is suited for excessive unwanted hair removal safely from all parts of male body as well as fat reduction treatments like Cooltech.

With the options that they can explore to the technology that they can try, for men’s skincare this is the j ust the beginning of an eventful j ourney. Skincare, be it at home or from a professional, is something that Indian men need not be ashamed of. They simply need to take into their stride!

 Most skin experts have witnssed that an increasingly youth-obsessed culture inIndia, even in the workplace, is driving more and more corporate professionals — a large chunk of them men — to j ump on the Botox bandwagon.  Leading cosmetologists and dermatologists say that in the last two-three years the number of executives opting for cosmetic procedures using Botox and fillers has more than doubled, with well-heeled senior executives spending up to `1,00,000 in a single session to put their best face forward.  There has been an over 100% rise in working professionals – predominantly men – opting for cosmetic procedures using Botox and fillers in the last couple of years. Most sought after treatments include getting rid of crow’s feet, laughter lines, frown lines, sagging skin and even excessive sweating.

Make-up for

the Pros

Dr Bharti Tanej a, Founder-Director, ALPS Beauty Group launched che ed her xclus usive professional make-up range – BT Colour Cosmetics. In an exclusive out he her interaction with Beauty Launchpad India, Dr Tanej a talks about sha Gak Gakhar khar vision for the pro line, its unique packaging and more. — By Isha

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO LAUNCH BT COLOR COSMETICS? I have tried my hand at numerous products and brands in the last three decades. I’ve found that there is hardly any brand in the market wherein every product is perfect. Some brands ace in primer or foundation while others win in lipsticks or liners. People are left with no option but to pick separate products from different brands. My vision while coming up with BT Colour Cosmetics was essentially to bring the best quality products under one roof.

TELL US ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS AND PACKAGING OF YOUR PRODUCTS. We have come up with a huge range of products including face primer, eye primer, waterproof base, mineral powder, two-way cake, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, contour ultimate palette, blusher, lipstick, lip gloss and others. BT Colour Cosmetics are super rich as each product is laced with vitamin E. Face primer also has silicone, which acts as a skin tone miracle-worker and fills the imperfections such as pores and fine lines, leaving your skin fl awless.

Special attention has been paid on packaging to make it user-friendly. It

has been attentively designed so that it takes less space and people can carry and use it easily. At the same time, no compromise has been made on its looks.

IS IT ONLY FOR PROFESSIONALS OR FOR CONSUMERS AS WELL? Earlier, we were only offering professional range of skin and hair care products but now we have ve slowly expanded our business. A year back, we started with a premium range of colour cosmetics. A decent range of products are available for the general public as well and we are working on more. We are going official launch it soon.

WHERE ARE THE PRODUCTS AVAILABLE? Earlier when we did B2B, they were available at all the 4 5 centers of ALPS. Our products are also available with our students who are spread across India and the world. Now we have taken a step ahead because of the kind of response we have been receiving, which has encouraged us to make our products accessible online as well.

Anyone can buy BT Colour Cosmetics at Amazon, Myntra, Flipkart, Snapdeal and Paytm.

ANY PLANS OF ROPING IN BRAND AMBASSADORS? Being in the industry for more than three decades, I have not j ust earned name and fame but have also won people’s trust and respect. I believe it would be unfair and delusional to make any other person my product’s brand ambassador than myself. I can reasonably and fairly take these excellent products to people.

WHAT IS YOUR STAND ON THE GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST)?

We’re and we’ll always be ok with every step, which is good and beneficial for this country. We’re adhering to it with all our heart. It is surely going to benefit us and the people in the long term.

MEN'S WELLNESS

THE TIME FOR MEN: Understanding Spa Habits!

The Indian spa and wellness industry has high stakes in its male patrons. We try to find out what makes Indian men wellness-conscious. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kanishka Ramchandani

O

ver the past two years, we have carried out extensive research in the field of wellness. Each time we conceptualised a men' s special issue, we trained our eagle eyes on how popular wellness is amongst Indian men. The responses we received have corroborated our observation

that Indian men like indulging in spa treatments more than women. This year, we go a step ahead to find out what the spas are doing to cater to the male tribe.

Male matters U rban men are waking up to hair trends and are increasingly seen opting for

Shine Spa

unisex salons for their hair cuts as opposed to traditional barber shops.

However, this number is still not on par with the women consumers. This could be one reason why men prefer going to spas. At a salon, the women are pampered with head massages, shoulder and back press and foot massages while they take on regular services such as hair spa, facials, pedicures, etc. Men, on the other hand, are bereft of the added bonus at salons.

Ergo, a spa treatment is a fairly attractive option for them to unwind themselves.

Moreover, urban men are welltravelled. They have experienced spas abroad and have come to understand the effects of the right massage and right oils on the human mind.

Ritesh Mastipuram, Founder and Managing Director, O2 Spa, adds another reason to the list of why men prefer spas: â&#x20AC;&#x153; Tiredness often seeps deep into the bones and men prefer wellness and revitalisation through massages.â&#x20AC;?

Considering the rising demand for spa treatments amongst men, spas are concerned about their needs. Be it the offerings on their menu or the design of the spa interiors, everything is planned to make the male consumer at ease with the concept of wellness.

Minute details are given precedent, i.e. the use of woody fragrances in the oils and lessening the use of fl owers or fl oral scents. The lounge areas are equipped with reading material for men, while the music provided is either by choice or has universal appeal. Spas also provides the option of masseur and masseuse to accommodate the demands of the discerning male patrons.

But what pleases the men most is the male-exclusive menu that spas offer. From full body treatments to facials, a menu that succintly explains

BEAUTY LAUNCHPAD INDIA | 09.17

Men's_Wellness_03Pgs.indd 82

08/09/17 8:29 PM

how the ingredients and techniques work best for men is the best way to engage male customers.

Christina Rozario, Manager – Spa, Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel, brings to fore the nuances of catering to the male clientele. “ The Spa at Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel has a luxuriously soothing environment. Its warm atmosphere and welcoming therapists will help you recharge and relax. Our spa consists of five treatment rooms, dedicated wholly to uplifting your senses. Our expert massage therapists and estheticians work with speciallydesigned oils, as well as the Forest Essentials line of herbal and natural products for the skin and hair, for an elevated experience.”

The spas also need to have loyalty programmes and follow-up routines to retain the customers. Customising the treatments to suit individual requirement is a great way to keep the customers interested in the spa' s offerings over a long period of time.

Shine Spa

Spa special Some time ago I was at The Spa by JW at the JW Marriott Hotel Mumbai Sahar.

Since it is the city' s only 24 x7 spa, I was curious about the kind of footfalls it received during the night. To my surprise, I was informed that the spa was at its busiest between 10 pm to 2 am.

Being close to the international airport, it attracted travellers and in-transit passengers. Here again the percentage of male patrons was more. When asked

We offer various spa and salon services that will promote wellness in every aspect of our daily lives. Our services range from head massages and skincare to manicure and pedicure. Being specific to wellness, we offer massage services for men, whose work pressure and hardened muscles require absolute care.

about the treatments they preferred, I was told that the Romance Salt Scrub, which contained coffee and natural grains and was a recent addition to the spa menu, was quite a favourite.

The response got me really interested in what special treatments spas have to offer for their male clientele and which ones were preferred. Mahesh Lal, Spa Manager, Shine Spa at Sheraton Grand Bangalore Hotel at Brigade Gateway, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153; Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facial, deep tissue massage and Thai massage from our menu are suitable for men. Of these, the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facial and deep tissue massages are most preferred treatments.â&#x20AC;?

At Suara Spa, Hotel Sea Princess, Mumbai, Jiby Abraham, Spa Manager, says, â&#x20AC;&#x153; male guests are mostly looking for a combination of massage such as deep tissue and Swedish or Thai and deep tissue.â&#x20AC;?

Rozario reiterates the importance of deep tissue massage for men: â&#x20AC;&#x153;F or men, we offer deep tissue treatment. Deep tissue massage uses focused, intense pressure to penetrate to deeper layers of muscle to untangle the knots and ease out chronic muscle tension.â&#x20AC;?

She points out that the male clients are often seen selecting the Sheraton Signature Customised treatment of either head and back, or back and legs treatment that can be customised as per the requirement and need. The treatment is done with hot stone and bundles, which is a combination of Indian and international.

Owing to the special attention paid to the male guests, the spa at Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel sees 6 0% male clientele coming in for treatments.

Shine Spa

Biz sense Looking at the increasing number of male footfalls at the spas, it makes good business sense to have a menu, staff and ambience that caters to the said clientele. We dug a bit further to find out about the average spends of the male patron at the spas. At Suara Spa, the general ticket size of the male client is ` 2,700-3 ,000, while at O2 Spa it is `3 ,5 00. At Shine Spa at Sheraton Grand Bangalore Hotel, it is `3 ,8 00.

We conceived male client has always been a big ticket prospect, however, the spas have to be on their feet in detecting gender specific issues, ready to provide services at off work fl exible times and make travel wary man a special focus.

BEGINNING

THE DESIGN I finalised on a trio of symbols that best represent my beliefs, which were beautifully combined and refined by the BodyCanvas team to complement my personal style.

ikas Malani is a Mumbai-favourite — B-town celebs and common man can equally vouch for his inking skills! When it comes to getting your first tattoo, picking the right artist is as important as the final design. Being a Shiva worshipper, and otherwise inclined towards minimalism, the vision for my first tattoo was based on religious symbolism but with clean lines.

THE EXPERIENCE Vikas pleasing personality put you at peace even you are a first timer...as my tattoo was etched on my inner arms, I barely felt the needle.

IST ART his E TH ks to s, n Tha y hand gns d i stea ate des le! c intri bearab e wer

THE RESULT Not only the design came out j ust I imagined it, Vikas skilled technique ensured fine lines and super sharp edges.

A tattoo is not only a way of self-expression — it is used to represent your beliefs and appreciating your body as a canvas to express your love for things meant to be close to you.

Vikas Malani began his career with a Spanish tattoo artist, Lyndia. With the support of Dr. Kohiyar and Shantaram, he started commercial tattooing in 2001. He launched BodyCanvas, along with his brother Mickey, in 2003 at Andheri, Mumbai.

Today, the brand boasts of three studios in Mumbai, one each in Delhi and London. His enviable client list includes celebrities like John Abraham, Remo D’Souza and many others. He also works with celebs for their temporary movie makeovers, like Aamir Khan for Dhoom 3, Anushka Sharma for Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola, Priyanka Chopra for Pyaar Impossible, Anil Kapoor for Tashan, MS Dhoni for Max Oil TVC and Shahrukh Khan for Dish TV Advertisement. Vikas is actively associated with NGO Chhanv Foundation that fights against acid attack.

RAISING

AWARENESS D

Dr Deepali Bhardwaj h osted an elite gathering to launch new immunotherapy treatments. The evening was attended by the who’s who of Delhi’s social circle.

elhi’s leading dermatologist and laser surgeon, Dr Deepali Bhardwaj ( Honorary Dermatologist to the President Estate Clinic, Rashtrapati Bhavan) hosted an evening for her clientele and friends to talk about the latest Immunotherapy treatments in managing urticaria, skin allergies and rashes, which is need of the hour as environmental damage is written on the wall.

A limited set of 6 0 ladies including Ranj ana Kumari leading social activist, Sonali Kothari, Shahana Mukherj ee, Dr Anj an Prakash, Subha Raj an, Shivani Chawla, Parull Mahaaj an, H/E of U ganda Miss Elizabeth, Ethiopian Lady Madame Amare and others were present to discuss the changing environment, pollution and measures they are taking to control them.

Immunotherapy is basically a way to introduce particular allergens in very low weekly dosage directly to the blood by subcutaneous inj ections under medical care and sepsis, so as to build the immunity of the person against it if.

The event also saw the launch of innovative anti-ageing chocolates for the first time in India. The sweet treat was prepared by pastry chef Arusha Sharma with the best of anti-ageing and strictly natural ingredients as advised by Dr Bhardwaj .

Dr Bhardwaj is also the Founder & CEO of The Skin & Hair Clinic in Delhi. She believes in ‘ Wellness Beyond Medicine’ and lives by the mantra of ‘ perfection without pretension’.

This shall help the person tremendously, but depending on age of the individual, amount of allergens one is allergic to which is checked by specific skin allergy testing like Prick and Rast, also his or her body immunity status as in if any diabetes or other ancillary diseases also present, decides that how long this immunotherapy course will be needed. Time can actually vary from 3 to 10 months to make the allergy almost vanish from system, skin and person’s life.

BUSINESS

BIZ TALK

JCB: RAISING THE BAR In a freewheeling interview, Samir Srivastav, CEO, Jean-Claude Biguine Salons discusses new tax regime, new ventures and more. — By Kanishka Ramchandani

HOW HAS THE GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST) AFFECTED THE BUSINESS? On the retail front, since we are using only international brands, there is no way that the brands will bear the additional tax. If they pass it on to the consumer, then it will get passed on. We don’t associate with Indian brands or engage in local manufacturing because of guidelines. For the service part, at our level the tax is between 15 -18 % and the average spend at the salon is very high, so 2-3 % more will not make much of a difference. But I feel that in products there will be an impact as there is a significant increase there.

For instance, the shampoos that were already at `2,000 will be more expensive. So, it’s really a ‘ wait and watch’ situation here. I am expecting the brands to revise the MRPs from the second consignment onward.

WHAT ACTIVITIES WERE DONE AT THE SALONS BEFORE GST BECAME APPLICABLE? We informed all our customers. We were completely transparent about the whole thing, as we were during demonetisation. We come from a strong governence point of view. We informed our customers that if they would like to redeem their programmes or renew their memberships, they would get a little benefit for that 3 % . For products, we definitely informed them, but we also had inventory, so it didn’t really affect the consumer that much. We did not really see any frenzy amongst the customers as the product penetration is quite high. Some of our customers appreciated the fact that we informed them beforehand, especially regarding the membership programmes.

LAST YEAR, YOU TOOK OVER TRICA AND HOME SALON. WHAT WAS THE IDEA BEHIND THIS MOVE? I think it is the whole eco-system that we are trying to build.

As far as haircare and pampering is concerned, we are clear market leaders. We realised that there is a big segment called cure in both skin and haircare. We cannot do skincare, as we don’t want to become Kaya. It’s a very specialised business. Cure for hair was a natural value addition offered

to our clients. So, we acquired this Korean company Trica, which is called Inogene in Korea. We are piloting it in 7 of our 15 salons. We have created mini-zones inside the salons. We are offering complimentary consultations, which detailed ones spanning 3 0-3 5 minutes and involving hair and scalp scans with camera. The consultants advise customers on how to take care of your hair amidst all the colour, chemical and heat treatments that they indulge in. For hairfall, it is a fantastic solution because it is a scientifically proven technology.

A lot of our clients have started taking consultation and have bought our programmes. In India, most of the people face hair and scalp problems after the age of 25 .

The brands don’t really have solutions for that. Trica offers a 3 6 00, customised and individualised solutions. We have trichologists on board who have their own cabins for consultations. Our hairdressers aid the entire procedure as they are the first to identify a condition on the client. I think with time Trica will only get better and better. It is our growth engine for the next 1-2 years.

We have also invested in Home Salon. We are trying to bring them the Biguine expertise and experience via a different set of products... these are not JCB products because of the difference in price points. But the aestheticians are trained by the JCB trainers and they carry branded kits. We are trying to give the consumers a convenience angle.

HOW HAS THE TRANSITION TO WELLA PROFESSIONALS BEEN FOR YOU? We have worked towards this transition over one-and-ahalf years. In India, Wella is a No. 2 player. It has been good especially for certain segments such as hair colour. Both our stylists and consumers love Wella colours. Their range of colours is wider. We have found an incease in our hair colour services after Wella. I think a lot needs to be done for the care range as in this category they are not as popular as the market leader is. The Energy Coding procedure of System Professionals is doing well, the off-takes are better. We see an upward trend for sure in retail. Wella has supported us a lot, India and internationally.

WERE THERE ANY HICCUPS DURING WELLA’S TRANSITION FROM P&G TO COTY? That’s a question for Wella to answer! No, we didn’t experience any hiccups. In fact, we gained from this transition as we got OPI. We are looking forward to having Coty’s make-up brands and other consumer brands, too.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR INCREASING YOUR FOOTPRINT? Y ou will hear some interesting formats getting launched soon. We are maj orly focussing on our outlets in Mumbai and Bangalore. Going out of these two cities is also work in progress. Y es, expansion is important but I strongly feel that we should saturate the market first. With 3 -4 more salons in Mumbai and Bangalore, we will be ready to look other cities.

The industry is poised for a rapid growth.

Huge middle class, disposable incomes, youth and media are positives that will add to this growth. New entrepreneurs have to be very clear with the business model. It they don’t get that right, they will end up losing a lot of cash.

Currently we have 11 salons in Mumbai and 4 in Bangalore.

We are preparing for a big leap ahead HOW HELPFUL IS THE JCB APP? It is helpful to a certain extent as we getting app bookings.

But my personal belief, not j ust for JCB but for the Indian salon goer, is that the consumer needs a lot of engagement.

Talking to the receptionist, finding out what’s new, availability of her hairdresser... there’s a lot of relationship building that takes place over phone call appointments. App is a basic information provider, although a lot of information can be disseminated through it. In India, it will never reach the level that it has in the West.

WHAT INNOVATIONS HAVE YOU INTRODUCED RECENTLY? We have come up with digital passports for our hairdressers, beauticians, manicurists, pedicurists and even the front desk. It contains the history of that person’s professional performance, customer feedback, areas of improvement and training.

IS ATTRITION A PROBLEM FOR YOU? Not at all! We have people who have been with us for years.

We continually invest in the individual to raise the bar. So, we have one of the industry’s lowest attrition rates.

ADVICE TO BUDDING ENTREPRENEURS...

The industry is poised for a rapid growth. Huge middle class, disposable incomes, youth and media are positives that will add to this growth. New entrepreneurs have to be very clear with the business model. It they don’t get that right, they will end up losing a lot of cash. And you need to have a lot of patience. Y ou should be prepared to hang in there for 2-3 years before you start making money off your business.
