Getting started

My elder sister has been a celebrity hair and make-up artist since 2002. I was fascinated to see her pictures with celebrities and decided to be a part of it. I did my hairdressing course from Pivot Point International Academy in 2009 and later was certified by City & Guilds UK, where I worked as an Educator for six months. I have taken multiple trainings from academies and hairstylists across the globe, including, educators of Wella Professional, L’Oréal Professionnel, Vidal Sassoon London to name a few.

First job and learnings

I started as a Junior Hair Artist with NEU Salonz back in 2010 and gradually gained experience on the floor observing other senior stylists. I attended trainings and seminars which again helped me to hone and perfect my skills.

Places worked with

After NEU, I worked with VLCC as a Senior Hair Artist. I moved to Lakmé Salons, where I was offered a job as a Field Trainer-cum-Senior Artist. With Lakmé, I travelled a lot to conduct seminars and educated other artists which turned out to be an excellent exposure. I had multiple opportunities with prestigious events like Wills Fashion Week and Lakmé Fashion Week! I joined back NEU Salonz as a Senior Hair Artist in 2015.
