In the July issue, we explore the true potential of tools, equipment and furniture used in salons and spas. There was a time eons back, when a barber, as he was called then, make did with one- odd brush or comb. Cut to 2015, and we have available the most precise, sleek and performance-oriented equipment with which hairstylists, as they are addressed as now, give us the most swanky haircuts possible. Not a mere feat, I daresay. In the feature, distributors, manufacturers and brands have come forward and expressed their pleasure in being a part of this business and also share the challenges that they face, making it a must-read for the first-time entrepreneur.

There are interviews of famous hairstylists, such as Chrystofer Benson, who is the NAHA 2015 Finalist! He bagged an award for a glorious avant-garde collection. Damien Carney, another NAHA Finalist in 2007, has a keen eye for perfection and the ability to showcase a person’s natural assets. In an awe-inspiring photo essay, we bring to you his collection.
