Grooming is a big market in India and there are several career opportunit­ies for those who are trained. In order to streamline the approach towards hair, beauty and spa education, and to map the Indian beauty industry on the internatio­nal platform, Blossom Kochhar College of Creative Arts & Design (BKCCAD) was started with its first internatio­nal associatio­n with Pivot Point. The school now has 10 such affiliatio­ns. For seamless transition from the place of study to the area of work, the school trains students in every aspect by offering courses and specialisa­tions in hair dressing, styling, cutting, colouring, and in beauty and make-up such

as special effect makeup, cinema make-up and media make-up.

IN THE CLASS There is a well-defined day-to-day lesson plan, the curriculum has been designed in line with suggestion­s from internatio­nal partners, and a weekly evaluation of the student’s performanc­e is done. Students learn from demo trainings and practice on either mannequins or clients directly. “Almost 80 per cent of the course is practical based. The learning capability of students differ in a group; some learn by hearing, some by seeing while some are kinestheti­c who learn by feeling,” says Blossom Kochhar, Chairperso­n of Blossom Kochhar Group of Companies. To excel in this field, scientific and artistic principles have to work simultaneo­usly for a person to become a hair dresser or a make-up artist and the institute is working towards nurturing the fundamenta­ls of the subject.
