Mordor Intelligence reveals that the global spa market is projected
to grow at a rate of 5.7% during the forecast period 2018 to 2023.
Increased focus on health and beauty and rising expenditure on
luxury are the major drivers of the market. In India, however, the
desire to indulge in ‘spa-cations’ and a sudden awakening towards
wellbeing has fuelled the growth of destination spas and wellness
centres. With this as a backdrop, in this Spa and Wellness issue, we
assess the role of destination spas and wellness centres. Off late,
strewn across scenic locales of the country, they are going all out to
lure that segment of the population that is conscious of their health
and wellbeing.
In the Hair section, we present Gen Itoh who taps into his talent
and has been balancing it with the right amount of hard work and
creativity. With over 17 years of experience to his credit, he shares
his professional journey. Meet Creative Design Team Educator
with Moroccanoil, Kumi Itoh, who began her artistic and aesthetic
education in Tokyo, slowly growing up to be an established
hairdresser and a session stylist. She has now become a renowned
name in the hair industry with enough talent to support it. On the
homefront, we bring Sanjeev Kumar, Creative Director at Style N
Scissors in Jaipur, Aditi Vyas, Founder and Stylist at Continuity Salon
in Mumbai, and Avani Yashwin, Owner and Stylist, Happy In The
Head in Mumbai, who predict pastel hair colours to be the 􀃺 tting
choice of millennials. Soft and subtle hues across the spectrum
will make quite a statement, they say. The recently concluded TIGI
Backstage Heroes Season 2 declared Mohammad Amjad, from
Salon 11 Jalandhar, as the winner. The humble champion did a
fantastic job and has bagged a seven-day trip to TIGI's Academy in
London!
