With the determination to do something of their own, four individuals coming from very humble backgrounds decided to quit their well paying jobs and take a plunge into entrepreneurship.
MAAS Studio, started by Mona Jaiswal (35), Anita Devi (37), Guddi Alka (30 and Sudhir Thakur (32), is a unisex slimming and beauty salon launched in April 2018 located at Kanke Road, Ranchi. With the combined experience and expertise of the four in various services related to skin, hair, slimming and weight loss treatments, this salon has come a long way in a very short span of time.
“I have been in this profession for the past 13 years and I always wanted to open a parlour of my own. This centre is owned by four of us with each one specializing in his or her field”, said Monica a senior makeup artist, who also manages all the skin and hair treatments.
Alka- a dietician at the studio, who is a graduate in clinical nutrition from Hazaribagh said, “We all have struggled a lot to open this studio and this is a dream come true for all of us.”
The four have a combined experience of almost 15 years. “We strive to make our clients feel comfortable and give them a personalized experience with our services. In a very short time period, we have managed to create a niche for ourselves by providing facilities worth the client’s money and time”, added Alka.
“I have been visiting this studio since its inception, for all skin and hair care treatments. I really like the skin treatments provided by Anita and am very satisfied with the facilities,” remarked Megha, a client who was getting her engagement makeup done at the parlour.
Sudhir an expert in hair styling from Guwahati has done a course from one of the renowned hair studios in the country. After working in Bangalore and Chennai, he moved to Ranchi where he was a part of a reputed salon. “While we were doing our job, we realised our individual worth and the ability to do something of our own and hence MAAS Studio was born. Our clients were always very satisfied with our services and they too pushed us to start our own business,” he said.
Anita a proficient make- up artist is also skilled in skin reduction treatment. “I specalise in treatments like double chin reduction, face lifting, removing skin pigmentation. When treating a client I try to put my best foot forward and don’t work just for money. I always try to ensure that the client is satisfied with the results and am very fortunate to receive a positive feedback for my work.”
A regular visitor at the studio Puja was very satisfied with all the services provided and feels that they priortise the client’s comfort. “I have been getting a haircut from Sudhir even before this studio was opened and he has been wonderful. Recently I have started taking a skin treatment and am extremely satisfied with the results,” she said.
