Hair and Beauty Organization (HBO) is conducting a 7 days (6^th to 12^th January) International Work shop on Creative and Fashion Hair Style at Ceremony Resort, Udaipur in association with the All India Hair and Beauty Association (AIHBA).

25 representatives of 15 cities of the state are being taught about the art of hairstyling in this workshop, by a well known Sri Lankan beautician and fashion designer Naina Karunaratne, President, Organisation Mondiale Coiffure (OMC), Asia Pacific Zone, an international organization of hairdressers that conducts International level competitions.

Naina Karunaratne, said “I was impressed to see the crowd of young students; they are all willing learners. India is one of the fastest growing nations and according to me, after China its India’s turn to show its talent in this field. Culture is changing and it’s not just barber’s work anymore; it’s more about styling now.

The aim of this work shop is to unite all the beauticians and spread education and knowledge of hair dressing to the beautician from the root level and prepare them to compete at the international level.

Sangeeta Chauhan , president of AIHBA said, “hair and beauty industry is not recognized as a profession in India because of the lack of proper facilities and knowledge. We want hair and beauty to also have a recognized degree in Bachelors and Masters.”

Neeta Parikh, secretary of HBO said, “People participating in this workshop are lucky to have a mentor like Naina. They should learn and develop their skills so that in future they can also spread this knowledge and promote the industry.”

HBO is an organization which extends the knowledge and development of hair and beauty industry to the general masses, those who do not have the facilities and access to reach it.

Ashok Paliwal, President of HBO, said “we want to groom and take our talent from the villages of Rajasthan to the world level. This is the reason behind keeping this work shop; we are just providing a platform for those who want to learn and want fame but do not have the right direction.”
