In a landmark event for the Indian beauty and grooming sector, Salonmart has launched world-class beauty education in India through a strategic partnership with the esteemed JJ Savani Academy and the Indian-International Hair, Makeup, and Beauty Academy (IIHMBA). The grand launch in Mohali on Wednesday marks the beginning of a new era, offering salon professionals access to top-tier training in men’s grooming and complete hairdressing.
In an exclusive interview with The North News, J.J. Savani, a pioneer in the global beauty industry, emphasized India’s immense talent pool in the salon sector.
“India has an incredible pool of talent in the salon industry,” Savani said. “But what people often miss is the journey. Everyone focuses on the final result—the ‘ramp’—but the path to success is equally important.”
Sharing a personal anecdote from his childhood, Savani recalled crying for a hairbrush and blow-dryer, underscoring that beauty, for him, has always been more than just a profession—it is an art. His words resonated with attendees, inspiring young professionals to view their craft as a form of creative expression.
Speaking to The North News, Naunihal Singh, founder of Salonmart, highlighted the overwhelming response from the salon community in Mohali.
“The incredible turnout today is a testament to the demand for advanced education and professional development in the industry,” Singh remarked. “It’s clear that there’s a growing need for world-class training, and we are here to provide that.”
Singh’s comments underscore the importance of initiatives like the JJ Savani Education Academy’s programs in shaping the future of salon professionals in India and elevating industry standards.
The event celebrated the evolution of the beauty industry with a special focus on the world-class training programs offered by the JJ Savani Education Academy. These programs are designed to enhance the standards of men’s grooming and hairdressing, equipping salon professionals with the skills needed to excel in an ever-evolving industry.
During the event, Javed Shaikh, a renowned hairstylist to celebrity Badshah, reflected on the artistry of hairstyling.
“Hairstyling is more than just a technical skill,” Shaikh told The North News. “It’s an art form, and that’s something we must not forget when we’re styling.”
His words resonated with the audience, reinforcing the significance of creativity and artistic vision in the hairstyling profession.
The highlight of the event was the thrilling Hair Jamathon, a live hairstyling competition that showcased the immense talent of India’s top seven hairstylists. Renowned professionals, including Javed Shaikh, Ashwani Patiyal, Charmi, Sweta Shah, and Pooja Bulani, competed, demonstrating their innovative techniques and creative expertise. The competition left the audience in awe, further cementing India’s growing reputation as a hub for talented beauty professionals.
With the launch of its world-class beauty education programs, Salonmart is setting the stage for a revolution in India’s beauty and grooming industry. The partnership with JJ Savani Academy and IIHMBA promises to equip salon professionals with the tools and training necessary to thrive in a competitive global market. As Salonmart continues to expand its influence, the future of India’s beauty industry looks brighter than ever.
