“Some stick to the conventional styles but many others are more accepting of new trends. Since it is summer, people are looking for short, easy-to-wear styles.” Swati adds that, interestingly, even some of their older clients are experimenting more nowadays. Swati Gupta, creative director of this salon chain, says, “The blues, greens, really flamboyant pinks and neons are now the hottest hair colours.
SNIP CUT HAIR SALON SKIN
She says, “They bring Instagram and show me… they do not understand that hair styling is also about texture, facial shape, and skin colour!”Īlthough the salon specialises in customising hair cuts and colours, the demand for vibrant colouring has gone up greatly in recent times. But sometimes, she gets obstinate clients who are unwilling to listen. Often, she plays confidant - people confide in her about everything from household problems to boyfriend-girlfriend trouble and itchy skin. She believes she does her best work when the customer trusts her. “When I see a customer and I know they are happy, it gives me a great feeling,” she says. She usually comes in by 9.30 am, gobbles down a quick breakfast, and begins her day, which can go on till 8 pm, sometimes longer. Chand was waiting for her second client of the day.
Today, as one of the senior-most stylists at the salon, she is much in demand, and sees customers only by appointment. In 2010, she joined her current employer. After a year, she worked as a hairstylist at a reputed salon where she honed her artistry further. But she did not give up and kept practising and learning from seniors. “It was usual for me to cry myself to sleep every night,” says Chand about her initial years. She hadn’t cut a single strand of hair yet!
She was also committing to memory the purpose of hundreds of products, not to mention colour wheels and the science of hair colouring. But it was also an opportunity to observe and learn as she swabbed floors, cleared dustbins, made tea, cleaned equipment, and after a few months, gave massages, shampooed hair, and trimmed nails. “It was about doing all the work nobody wants to do,” she says. The work was gruelling, poorly paid and relentless. Having experimented with her own hair from her teen years, Chand instinctively knew she had what it takes. She felt guilty about spending her mother’s money on her education, and thus began apprenticing at a local salon. Now in her mid-30s, she came to the city from Manipur in 2006 to study and find a job to support her single mother and brother. Phalchong Khongsai, who prefers to be called Chand, has been a hairstylist with Bodycraft Spa & Salon in Indiranagar for more than 12 years. But where does this contentment spring from? What is the good, bad, and ugly in the life of a hairstylist? I, well, got in the hair of a senior stylist in Bengaluru to find out. That is perhaps why, in nearly every survey of ‘happiest workers’, hairdressers are the crowning glory. And no one understands this better than a good hairstylist. Using this method, there is much less chance of complications and the patient feels more comfortable in stark contrast to the traditional method which is often performed under general anaesthetic, involving cutting through the skin and underlying tissue and blood vessels on each side and requiring sutures.H air is political. The bottom end of each vas is left open (the open-ended technique) to minimise post-operative pain. The centre of the top end of each vas having been sealed (mucosal cautery) and covered with tissue (fascial interposition) using either a tiny clip or a dissolving thread to further prevent them from re-joining.
The vasa are located and are gently drawn through the same opening one at a time. It is a unique feature of Dr Snip ‘no scalpel’ microKeyhole ™ surgery. It will close rapidly and heal without needing stitches. A single, small opening only 2-4mm in size is then made in the centre of the scrotum below the penis without a scalpel. The anaesthetic is applied to the vasa using a fine needle with no injections into the testes or penis. The procedure is simple, seamless, and virtually pain free, taking only 10-15 minutes.
