PT: Give us a quick snapshot of your amazing journey up to now.
Arshis: I started my career with a hotel management diploma, followed by flying with Jet Airways and Go Airlines for a brief period. I soon began training, but within a few years decided to pursue my passion for aesthetics, style and fashion. Make-up and hair-styling was something that came naturally to me. I chose to pursue this passion seriously and acquired professional training overseas. I also chose to polish my interest in luxury living and over the last year, with a team of professionals working with me from India and overseas, I’m now styling and managing wardrobes for some of India’s top celebrities.
PT: Who has been your primary source of motivation?
Arshis: I knew I was set to work with something that wouldn’t just be a job but also a lifestyle. I spent an integral part of my life observing a close friend who worked magic in the beauty and hair industry. It helped me understand the pros and cons of this industry.
PT: What sets you apart?
Arshis: I’m a bit of a toxic perfectionist by nature. The ‘finer detailing’ is the key to my success. Maybe it’s my bawa genetic engineering that makes me eccentric in my detailing and finishing. Like I tell my brides… “I’m not letting you get married till you look perfect!”
PT: What are your other interests?
Arshis: I love to travel! I’m a hardcore shopaholic, but definitely not a hoarder! Since style and art continuously intrigue me, as a hobby I design homes while creating and organizing personalized spaces. Home décor, interiors and design fascinate me.
PT: Which aspect about your work gives you the greatest job satisfaction?
Arshis: I love it when someone I have worked on gets complimented or appreciated for how great they look. It’s like an underhanded compliment to me. It’s my own way of feeling grateful for being empowered with a skill that brings a smile to someone else’s face and boosts their self-confidence.
PT: Your best compliment yet?
Arshis: When this child came to her mom and told her, “Mommy, you look like Cinderella”!
PT: What’s the future like?
Arshis: I take life as it comes. Why waste time planning, rather than enjoying the ‘now’!
PT: What beauty advice would you like to share with our Parsi Times Readers?
Arshis: Keep it simple. ‘Less is more’ always. Make sure you take care of your skin and hair today. You will be happier tomorrow.
