Salon India nds out how it has been for him and his plans for the future
How did you get started in the hair and beauty industry?
I belong to a family of hairdressers, my father Shyam Bhatia is a renowned stylist. As a child, I was influenced and inspired to see him work passionately and grow in life. So, immediately after my schooling, I decided to give hairdressing a shot, and fortunately, the craft has stayed with me till now.
Please tell us about your professional background. What are the certificates and degrees you have earned?
I have done my foundation from Shyam’s Academy and honed the technical skills at the L’Oréal Technical Centre. Post that for my advance learning, I went to Toni&Guy in Singapore, Vidal Sassoon in London, and Image’s Academy in Colombo. Later and thanks to L’Oréal, international hairdressers started visiting India to train. I got my expertise in Cut and Colour by the RUSH team, Trevor Sorbie Team and Laurent Decreton.
