Venturing into the world of beauty is a dream turned reality for Lavanya Vikram who, with support from her husband Vikram Kokane, opened the doors for Blush N Curls, a ladies salon and spa that offers professional care with organic products.
A make-up artist certified by cosmetic brands Bobbi Brown and Make Up Forever, Lavanya strongly believes in maintaining high standards of quality when catering to customers. The products used are internationally renowned and known to be vegan, paraben-free, no sulphates and formaldehyde, which add to its organic charm.
"For me, when a customer walks into a salon she needs to feel rejuvenated in every aspect, no matter what service she opts for," says CEO Lavanya, who is also a skin consultant and certified by hair treatment brands.
"Even if it's something as small as a manicure or getting her eyebrows done, she needs to feel that she's walked into a place where she feels good about herself and would be willing to visit again. Sometimes even the high-end salons fail in providing good customer service."
Setting beauty trends
Since its launch around three months ago, the salon has seen around 300 customers, many of whom are now regulars and keep coming back for exclusive hair, facial and body treatments.
Blush N Curls has separate sections for nail and hair care, body waxing, facials, massages and hamam with locker facilities. Each service is conveniently categorised to meet different needs. According to Lavanya, every customer receives complimentary consultation from a team of certified therapists who evaluate skin type or scalp prior to treatments in order to select the best option.
"We don't sell just because we have a service to sell," she says, highlighting that the salon even offers three types of depilatory botanical wax for normal, sensitive and hypersensitive skin with promise of a painless experience.
List of services - Slimming and Firming treatments - O2 Scalp and Hair Treatments and Hair Spa - Hair Colouring and Styling - Vegan and Organic Colours - Skin Treatment Facials - Body Rituals - Body Scrub and Body Wrap (nine treatments) - Body Candle Treatments - Mama-to-be Pampering Treatment - Botanical Painless Waxing - Eyelash and Eyebrow Extensions - Nails - Gel and Acrylic Extensions - Hand and Feet Spa Treatments - Moroccan Bath |
Highlights A team of certified therapists ensures that each visitor receives consultation prior to hair, facial and body treatments. Blush N Curls has a separate menu for little princesses under 12 years with hair, nail and glam facial services. It also hosts spa dates for special occasions such as birthdays. The salon and spa also offers exclusive discounts for cabin crew and airline staff of Emirates and flydubai. |
