Cover January 2015.indd Cover1 10/01/15 6:09 PM

It’s 2015 – a fresh new year full of promise and opportunity!

On this optimistic note, it gives me immense pleasure to bring to you the sixth anniversay special of Salon India. How time has own! It seems like yesterday when we had released the rst issue and like new parents, we wondered how the baby would grow. Taking tentative baby steps, the magazine has covered ground and with each issue it has become stronger on its grip on interviews, news and other salon and spa professional-related features. But we are not becoming complacent and look forward to advice on how we can even further improve our product.

This issue being the rst of the year, brings with it a multitude of shoots depicting cold wintery mornings, hair trends for 2015 for women to swear by and then more. These are followed up with interviews of hair gurus Julie Robinson of True tt & Hill and Tom Berry, the SAKS Art Team Member. In our interior design section, Visual Dynamics, we take you on a magni cent visual journey and feature two spas, Shine Spa at Sheraton Bangalore and Amana Spa in Phuket. Similar in terms of paying abeyance to tradition, yet varied in design.

In the Beauty section, medical experts deal with techincal treatments such as, Face Re exology, grooming eyebrows to de ne your face cut ; the rise of bridal studios; interviews of make-up artists of repute Daniel Bauer and Uday Shirali and much more!

And last, but not the least, we are closing this month of January with a bang! We present deep insights into the world of aesthetics. We talk to experts in the line who share reasons with us on the rise of cosmetic and derma centres and the endless list of treatments that entice and tempt an individual to reverse the age clock.

A special ‘thank you’ to our contributors! Nalini Naegamvala, Vikram Bhatt, Subham Virmani, Thilini, Avani Amlani, Arush Chopra, Dr Sagar Shah and Manu Rishi Guptha – we couldn’t have done without your support.

From baby steps to giant strides, Salon India is raring to go.

Tom BerryArtistic endeavoursTom Berry is part of the Art Team at SAKS in UK. He’s been with them for six years and first worked in the Covent Garden Salon, before moving to St Pauls. His talent was quickly spotted and nurtured through his work on the SAKS Art Team

He’s been hands-on at London Fashion Week and The Fellowship, involved in Salon International and delivered seminars for L’Oréal during his time at

SAKS. Tom Berry joined SAKS in 2006 after completing the SAKS Hairdressing for Beginners Course at the world renowned SAKS Academies.

Berry has been a regional nalist at the L’Oréal Colour Trophy and a nalist in the SAKS photographic competitions and has also worked on fashion shoots for top magazines.

What does SAKS mean to you? How is standardisation possible in newer salons across the globe?SAKS is what I know, is what I was taught and more importantly, what I believe. This is why I chose them to train me. Their philosophy is of treating the client as an individual, listening, understanding and advising them with their best interests at heart, whilst following through with excellent skill levels in all areas of hairdressing. Making them feel special and as if they were a part of the family, and not customers, of the hair salon. That is how the standardisation of our salons will support our growth across the world. We employ people who believe in these values and offer the best training to back it up.

First ever Bridal Collection by Matrix

MATRIX, the world’s number one American professional brand and India’s largest

distributed professional brand has added another feather to its cap. It has now launched its Bridal Collection, which showcases the many avatars of the modern Indian bride. The collection celebrates the allure of the Indian bride – capturing her con dence and captivating beauty. This collection is an extension of SoColor’s ‘Color with Con dence’ campaign.

The wedding season is the time when Indian women want to look their best. The pre-festivities along with the D-Day demand a new head turning look and style. The three stunning looks of the Bridal Collection, comprising of the Caramel Chignon, Mocha Sidesweep and Mahogany Twist have been designed and created using shades from MATRIX’s agship hair colour brand – SoColor. Each look has been created using a distinctly different colour and styling technique, enabling a salon professional to give a glamorous, yet wearable look to her client.

Drashti Dhami, the brand ambassador for SoColor, along with top models Diva and Maria, have illustrated these gorgeous looks that can be created for the various occasions during the wedding celebrations.

The Caramel Chignon look, featuring Drashti Dhami, is a modern take on the classical up do that is worn by the bride for the wedding ceremony.

The Mocha Sidesweep worn by Maria is the MATRIX interpretation of the messy bun and can be worn for the cocktail/ Sangeet ceremony.

Bridal studiosSpoilt for choice

Guneet Virdi and Nidhi Thukral

The Indian salon space is seeing a sea change. Today parlours are addressed as ‘salons’ or ‘make-up

studios’. Thanks to the changing mindset of the Indian audience – they are not only up-to-date, but also know what they want, especially in terms of their hair, make-up and fashion styling. As a result, salon chain owners have to go the extra mile to innovate their services. One such offering is the new concept of bridal make-up studios, which provides services customised as per a bride’s needs.

Guneet Virdi is a trained artist from London College of Make-up. Within two years of her career span, she has set up an 1100 sq ft standalone studio at one of the plush streets of Delhi. Elaborating on the same, Virdi shares, “Guneet Virdi - Bespoke Beauty & Makeup Studio is all about

Insider infoMake-up and shows

Daniel Bauer, Tresemmé Hair Expert and Lakmé Brand Ambassador

The make-up trend that has made the biggest impact, of late, has been Givenchy’s bleached brows, complimented with graphic eyeliners. It’s

very simple, authentic and brings the most beautiful focus to the eyes in a sophisticated way. Also dewy skin with a gloss eye or lip has been the star of shows from Stella McCartney, Marni, Versace and Missoni. I feel this look is likely to resonate well with Indian complexions. For Manish Malhotra’s Grande Finale at the Lakmé Fashion Week, Lakmé and I, had created two distinct looks across 40 models. It was deep blue gloss eyeliner with a peach gloss semi-nude lip and a ruby red gloss lip with dewy skin complexion. It was wonderful to see gloss make such an impact! We ensured the looks were authentic for the runway and accessible for to-be brides.
