Action and reaction, ebb and ow, trial and error, change
— this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-condence,
fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of
hope, progress.
This change has affected our salon and spa industry too.
While there was a time, when we lived in a cocooned
world where nothing could go wrong, times have changed
and it is up to us to prepare ourselves against all odds.
We touch upon the issue of Insurance of salons and spas,
in the cover story, where we bring you the relevance and
critical aspects of insurance.
Hot on the heels of development is L’Oréal Professionnel.
They have recently introduced the new and revolutionary
ODS2 technology in INOA hair colourant by reducing
the three-step procedure to a simpler and convenient
two-step one.
Change brings opportunity. Amali Kandasamy, a hairstylist who was born and brought up in Sri Lanka is now the
Creative Stylist with Looks Salon. Her reasons for being
and enjoying her profession in India make for an inspiring
read for many an hairstylist. Sukirti Patnaik, owner and
MD, Indulge salons in Odisha gave up a ourishing career
in IT, to follow her heart. She hasn’t regretted it and is
today creating history in the salon space of east India.
However, the reverse is also true — all change is not
growth, as all movement is not forward. Therefore, the
professionals in our beauty industry have to tread
cautiously and take wise and informed decisions.
Look forward to your views!

STORE FOCUS
Vaibhav Stores
One-stop solution
V
aibhav Stores, located on OTC Road in Bengaluru, is the
exclusive channel partner of many national and international
professional brands in India. A sister concern of Kumar Stores,
the concept of Vaibhav Stores turned into reality in 2005, and was
started solely to serve professionals in the eld of beauty and fashion.
In conversation with Salon India, Chirag Shah, Director, Vaibhav
Stores, reveals aspects of the business
Store re-launch
The store was re-launched on 10 July to accommodate the projection and perception of our business. Clearly, we saw a need to
create a larger platform for our customers where they could interact
and transact in an easy, fast and convenient way. The idea of
re-launching was to express to our stakeholders and well-wishers,
that we were not looking to sell just products, but share the art of
beauty with a touch of world-class service.
USP
Vaibhav Stores is the only store in India where all the essentials required for beauty professionals are available under one roof. We are
a one-stop destination for all beauty and fashion needs. We also
have a modern and equipped academy where we have live demos,
conduct workshops and train beauty professionals on products.
We began with 1,500 sq ft and today, have expanded upto 8,000
sq ft, which is divided into the Consumable showroom, Furniture
showroom, Academy and the Admin Ofce.
Target group, topsellers
We are here to only serve beauty professionals working in salons
and spas. Our topsellers are consumables, such as lotions, creams
and shampoos, as they are available under one roof. A few years
ago in India, there was no exclusive brand for the salon and spa
industry, but now there are many options and we are focussing
more on them. Our competition is only with time; we want to bring
the best and latest trends under one roof.
The academy
With the need of a platform to share and educate about the art of
beauty, in 2011, we decided to launch the academy. It is a place
where aspiring young professionals and established professionals, up their ante and keep pace with international standards to
deliver beauty as an art. Depending upon the course, the company
provides the certicate.
Advice for new salon owners
When buying equipment or furniture for your salon, think you are
making an investment. The better the investment, the higher will
be the returns.

Chirag Shah
Dr Deepti Dhingra
Follicular Enrichment Therapy
by Shikha Swaroop
D
Deepti Dhingra
r Deepti Dhingra is Dermatosurgeon and
Trichologist, at the Fortis Escort Hospital,
Okhla in Delhi. Trained in cosmetic treatments like
hair restoration surgery, facial rejuvenation, scar
removal, botox, and more, she offers Follicular Enrichment Therapy (FET), a breakthrough technology in the eld of hair growth that involves nding
remedy from the patient’s own blood.
Procedure
FET successfully treats the problem of hair loss in
both males and females. Its efcacy is established
by the fact that besides stopping hair loss, it also
reverses the effect. It is either performed alone or
in conjunction with surgeries like hair transplant
and ap rotation. It uses the healing factors present in the patient’s own blood, to its advantage.
A small quantity of the patient’s blood is taken
and centrifuged to obtain platelet-rich plasma
(PRP), a main source of growth factors in humans.
The PRP, thus prepared, is mixed with patented
protein mixtures, which are modied PRP. Before
injecting PRP, the scalp is stimulated with a scalp
roller the size of 1.5 mm, which sends a signal
to the dormant follicles. This results in the scalp
becoming more receptive to the PRP injected.
Thereafter, the modied PRP is injected into the
patient’s scalp, specically at the site where there
is sparse hair. Usually done under the inuence of
local anesthesia, the whole procedure takes about
three hours (from collection of blood to injecting
PRP) and can be performed in a single sitting. For
patients in the more advanced stage of hair loss, a
repeat of this procedure is usually recommended
after a year or so, depending upon the requirement and response.
Mode of work
The doctrine of the treatment is to use the natural
ability of the body to heal with a combination of
cutting edge technology. Generally, when a human
body gets injured, the platelets present in the
blood aid in healing by accelerating the regeneration of tissues and healing of wounds. This
is commonly done by releasing a protein called
Growth Factors. Therefore, after increasing the
baseline concentration of these platelets, as is
done in FET, doctors are able to deliver a powerful
58 I SALON INTERNATIONAL I AUGUST 2012
cocktail of Growth Factors, which can dramatically enhance the tissue recovery procedure and
produce an increase in follicular turnover, which
as a result, enhances hair growth.
The after-effect and outcome
This therapy boasts of efcacy and is known
to produce results, visible within a month of the
therapy. It is safe and has no long-term side
effects since it is done by using the blood of the
patient and is a non-surgical procedure. The
therapy is also used in case of diffused thinning
of hair.
Cost of the treatment and training
Priced at `31,000, the treatment is cost effective
and for the procedure, needs the involvement of
two doctors. The doctor has to be trained to
perform this therapy and there are only a few centres abroad, such as the ASAN Medical Centre,
based in South Korea.
Infrastructure
Besides investing in setting up a clinic, one
needs to expend `15 lakhs to `20 lakhs on the
machines, which aid in preparing the concentrate.
Please note, machines can only be bought after
obtaining a license from an authentic source. The
scalp roller costs around `3,000, apart from costs
of space rentals, doctor’s fees and staff salaries.
Doctor’s prole
Dr Deepti Dhingra pursued her
graduation and post graduation
from Kasturba Medical College,
Manipal. She has undergone training
in hair restoration surgery, llers and
chemical peels from ASAN Medical
Centre, Seoul, Korea. She has also
worked with Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital
in Delhi, and is an experienced Cosmetic
Dermatosurgeon and Trichologist.

HAIR THERAPY
EXPERIENTIAL
Rene Furterer
Feel of purity
by Aradhana V Bhatnagar
Diagnosis: After carefully examining my scalp, said that it was
free of dandruff. He noticed
dry and frizzy hair problems
which he claims occurs in
every third person who is living
in a city, juggles with stress
and pollution.
D
iego Perez-Marin, the
International Training
Manager for Rene Furterer
was in Delhi recently. Over a
hair treatment, he disclosed
the technology behind Furterer’s hair products and the
secret of the brand’s success
Consultancy: Perez-Marin was
thourough with his knowledge
of hair and scalp. As he took
me through the Furterer range,
he stated the importance of
a healthy scalp and only then
would a healthy crop of hair
be possible. “Our scalp is like
soil, and only if we take care
of it, will there be owers.”
He also took my inputs on the
number of times I washed my
hair, oiled it and if I coloured it
at all.
60 I SALON INTERNATIONAL I AUGUST 2012
Recommendation: The Karité
range is meant for hair which
is basically, dry and rebellious.
I was suggested a process
where essential oil would
be applied on the scalp, the
Karité oil be applied on the
tips of the hair, followed by a
shampoo and a conditioner.
Regular use for three months
will make my hair soft and
moisturised.
The process
Step 1: My hair was combed
gently with the help of two
brushes. Sana Khan, the trainer, helped Perez-Marin with
this task. It was an interesting
and fast way to detangle stubborn dry hair.
Step 2: Section off hair and
rub the orange and lavender
essential oil into the scalp.
Massage gently, as if picking
delicate owers. Oranges have
cleansing properties, while
levender is known to calm.
The aroma can be quite over-
whelming so if you are sensitive to smells, let the tharapist
know. You will also feel a
tingling or itchy sensation on
the scalp, which heightens to
a level and then dies down.
Step 3: Hair is sectioned again
and from root to tips, Karité oil
is applied. Left for 10 minutes.
Step 4: Shampoo again with
Karité shampoo.
Step 5: Apply the Karité conditioner and leave for ve to
seven minutes. Towel dry.
Step 6: Apply serum on
wet hair.
Step 7: Style as per choice.
Comments
While there is no doubt that
the Rene Furterer range
surpasses in quality and
content, I will have to regularly
use the products to be sure
they suit me.
Few words on the therapist

Head Trainer for North India.

for over a year, she has experience of 10 years. She did her
