Adhuna Bhabani @ Salon Owners Summit
The debut edition of Salon Owners Summit by BBlunt Salons and Academy and Beauty Launchpad was held in Delhi. Eight wearable haircuts, colours and styles were unveiled at the event.
Beauty Launchpad India in association with BBlunt Salons hosted a one-day master class with celebrity hairstylists Adhuna Bhabani and Rohan Jagtap at the Eros Hotel, Nehru Place in New Delhi on October 3, 2017. The ‘Salon Owners Summit’ was a cutting-edge workshop showcasing the latest hair cutting and colouring techniques. Team BBlunt presented a creative combination of eight hair cuts and colour looks for the salon owners and professionals present.
With a sheer focus on ‘wearability,’ BBlunt’s experts designed variation in terms of looks, featuring styles like long hairdressing, male styling, point cutting technique, et al. It was a mix of trendy and wearable styles with a subtle blend of braids, movement, texture and volume. The hair colours were again very wearable based on the models’ skin tone and features. The palette varied from browns to mahogany and from blue black to wine. The looks were achieved by using BBLUNT styling products and Salon Secret hair colour.
The three-hour class also had Adhuna dishing out pivotal points for the industry experts, for instance, how to handle a fussy client. She also shared her experience on working with Bollywood celebs such as Preity Zinta.
The workshop concluded with a Q&A session with Adhuna where she spoke about her driving force, inspiration as well as classic principles of cutting with a modern edge. She also shared her perspective on the Indian hair and salon industry in terms of growth and education.
To have the opportunity to meet and share my work experiences with hairstylists and entrepreneurs who share my passion, gives me tremendous pleasure. We have Beauty Launchpad to thank for making this whole platform possible. We are very grateful for the hospitality and support they’ve extended.
My team and I are continuously trying to push the envelope with every collection we work on. The eight looks we presented at the Salon Owners Summit were a combination of haircuts, our latest introduction of Salon-quality hair colour range Salon Secret and the BBLUNT range of styling products. My colleague and Senior Salon Director, Rohan Jagtap also created some stunning dressed long hairstyles while Mona Anand designed a palette of make-up for the event, which featured bold lips that accentuated our hair work beautifully. The Salon Owners Summit, our first-ever masterclass, was carefully curated with an aim to extend the brand to our peers within the industry through hands-on product demos, aesthetic expertise, sharing of experiences, cross ideating, understanding need gaps in the hair styling space, consumer demands and working on feedback received. It is an extremely crucial property we’ve initiated and the plan is to improvise on a larger scale year on year.”
