• Second training center opens in Mumbai after successful Gurgaon launch earlier this year

Mumbai : Esskay Hairdressing School, a name identified with the global standard for hair education in India, has opened its second training facility in Mumbai today. It is an extension of the ongoing initiative by Esskay Beauty Resources to slowly but strongly raise the education levels of professionals, as India’s salon industry faces a persistent shortage of qualified professionals.

The Mumbai center follows the launch of the school’s first facility in Gurgaon earlier this year. The school provides technical hairdressing skills and business training to both working salon professionals and aspiring hair artists entering the industry.

Speaking on the occasion, Subham Virmani, Director, Esskay Beauty Resources, said, “The Esskay Hairdressing School is designed to empower professionals at every stage of their journey. From salon partners seeking advanced techniques for their staff, to hairdressers wanting to grow in their art form, to students beginning their careers in the industry, our focus is on making high-quality education more accessible. By bringing EHS to Mumbai, we are getting another step closer towards building a strong and skilled community of salon professionals.”

Adding to this Ankit Virmani, Director, Esskay Beauty Resources, said, “At Esskay Beauty Resources, we believe that professional education is the cornerstone of a thriving salon industry. Our commitment to launching the Esskay Hairdressing School stems from our vision to elevate skills and standards across India’s beauty sector. We are dedicated to creating comprehensive training platforms that empower salon professionals with the latest techniques and industry knowledge.”

The expansion is aimed at tackling broader challenges in India’s organized salon sector, where operators report difficulties in recruiting and retaining trained hairdressers and stylists. Industry observers attribute this to limited formal training infrastructure and competition from other service sectors. The Esskay Hairdressing School curriculum combines technical hairdressing techniques with business operations skills, preparing students for both employment and entrepreneurship.

The academy in Mumbai is located in the busy area of Tantia Jogani Estate, in Mahalaxmi with seating that can offer exclusive & much personalised setup.
