The Beauty industry in India is growing in leaps & bounds even in tier-2 & 3 cities and is displaying no sign of exhaustion in the future ahead. This coupled with the industry’s transition from an unorganized market to an organized retail marketplace, has spurred a steep demand for skilled beauticians & hairdressers. Forecasting this upsurge in 2008 itself, Vaijayanti Bhalchandra (Co-Founder), an inspirational trendsetter, has been driving a wave of transformation in the hair & beauty industry landscape by upskilling the industry talents over the past decade by establishing You Look Great (YLG), a Bangalore based salon chain. “The core of YLG's business model is based on a structured skill building process, which allows us to maintain consistently high service quality and better retention as compared to competition,” affirms Vaijayanti.
