I’m a Salon Business Advisor specialized in turning around struggling salons with scalable,profitable opportunities and idea.With a blend of strategic insight, creative branding,data driven growth planning,I position salon businesses for longterm success. My experience of 12+ years in the beauty services industry made me realize the need to introduce and encourage an international standard of qual
ity service to clients. Year 2013, I started my journey as a Hair-stylist and did my Advance course in Hair from VLCC Health Care Limited Kolkata. This gave me an understanding of the industry from the stylist point of view, this helped me understand the daily challenges they face, my interaction with the clients also helped me understand the market demands and what they thought of the Salon Industry then(2013),working on the floor for 2 years helped me understand very well that I cannot make a lot of changes from the position that I was in. That's when I decided to educated myself and move up to the management level, since my communication and my listening skills were very good, I was given an opportunity to work as a CRM. This position again gave me an opportunity and helped me understand better about the Beauty Industry. It also helped me connect with a lot of new and like minded people. After that it has been constant growth in positions and knowledge. From there I've worked as a Store Manager for Toni and Guy, Bangalore for 3 yrs. Also in this tenure I helped an investor who initially was our client set up a Toni and Guy Salon at a different location. After 3 years I was given the opportunity to work as a Business Development Head for Toni and Guy, Mumbai, setting up multiple stores and helping the owners/investors understand the salon business in detail. I was involved with various leadership roles such as Assistant Store Manager, Store Manager, Cluster Manager, Business Head, Head Of Operations, Marketing and Strategy for companies like Style Zone Salons and Spa, Toni and Guy, Looks Salon, Looks And Luxe Salon, Diorette Salon. The time I've spent in the industry has seen me evolve from being a firm believer in its growth to now being confident of the direction it is headed in and of the talent pool in the beauty and wellness sector. And now I share my knowledge about the salon industry and help Investors and entrepreneur who are willing and have a vison to invest and start something.
