You walk into the<br />
workplace of Kanikka<br />
Gaurav Tandon assu<strong>min</strong>g<br />
to enter a salon on the<br />
upmarket club road in<br />
Punjabi Bagh West only<br />
to realize that this is<br />
something different and has<br />
no feel of a salon! A vintage<br />
European ambiance graced<br />
with very well detailed<br />
interiors I was looking<br />
forward to meeting the<br />
Creative Director of this<br />
Studio. Entering her room<br />
I see a chirpy ever smiling<br />
33-year-old entrepreneur<br />
who looks like a girl just<br />
completed her high school<br />
sitting in front of me with<br />
a twinkle in her eyes.<br />
We<br />
make<br />
you<br />

My first question was,<br />
as usual, how did you<br />
get into this field and<br />
the answer was quite<br />
surprising for me as she said- "You<br />
will be amazed to know the complete<br />
process, after completing my schooling<br />
I did graduation from South<br />
Campus along with that I did DNIIT<br />
, then NTT for 2 years , MSC(IT) for<br />
2 years and thereon B(Ed) for 1 year<br />
and became a computer teacher in a<br />
school and then got married ! It was<br />
nothing related to beauty and makeup<br />
till then.<br />
After marriage as I was introduced<br />
to makeup, colors, eyelashes<br />
and other accessories in a natural<br />
transformation that any girl would<br />
have gone through. I was a happy<br />
giving makeover to friends and family<br />
without knowing and realizing<br />
that I was gaining confidence and<br />
was good at it. I left my job at school<br />
after 3 months of marriage to join<br />
my husband’s business of specialty<br />
chemicals. My in-laws were noticing<br />
this transformation in me and would<br />
often compare my work with the<br />
brides who got their makeover from<br />
professionals whereas I was enjoying<br />
this hobby, and I never charged anyone<br />
for it says Kanikka Gaurav Tandon.<br />
My Kid was 2 and my hobby<br />
was gradually turning into precision.<br />
I don't know how and why but my<br />
family came up with an idea to take<br />
this stream professionally. I was reluctant<br />
as my kid was too young and<br />
not evens an iota of my imagination I<br />
thought I would take this up.<br />
I researched all the courses<br />
around and found that Pearl Academy<br />
had the best offering for my<br />
interest. But here I was late, the last<br />
date of application submission was<br />
gone and I had postponed the idea to<br />
next year. My husband Gaurav Tandon<br />
said it never says never and went<br />
straight to the Dean of the Institute<br />
