From Dreams in Kota to a Trusted Studio in Pune
I grew up in Kota, Rajasthan — a city known for students and ambitions. Mine was different. I always felt most alive when I made someone feel beautiful. But like most dreams in small towns, mine waited patiently.
After marriage, I moved to Mumbai — a city that doesn't slow down for anyone. It was here that I found my calling in the beauty industry. I trained under the legendary Javed Habib, and everything changed. I didn't just learn techniques — I learned how to connect with people through their hair and skin.
The early days were hard. No clients, no footfall, just faith. But slowly, one person at a time, word spread. Because I never treated anyone as just a customer — I treated them as family. My husband Rajiv stood by me through every difficult moment, and my son Pavan grew up watching his mother rebuild herself with grace.
Today, I have my own studio in Viman Nagar, Pune, and clients who've been coming to me for years — not just for the service, but for the relationship. That is my greatest achievement.
