Esskay Hairdressing School opens its second training centre in Mumbai, extending its mission to strengthen professional hair education and address India’s growing shortage of skilled salon professionals.
Esskay Hairdressing School has opened its second training centre in Mumbai, following the successful launch of its first facility in Gurgaon earlier this year. The expansion marks a strategic step by Esskay Beauty Resources to address the growing skills gap within India’s organised salon industry.
Raising standards in hair artistry
The school is positioned as an institution aligned with global standards in hair education. It focuses on improving technical capability and professional discipline among Indian hairdressers. The Mumbai centre aims to encourage local hair professionals to elevate artistry, precision, and consistency. These remain key areas required to take the Indian salon industry forward.
Training for professionals and new entrants
The school offers structured education for both working salon professionals. It’s apt for those who’re looking to upgrade their skills and aspiring hair artists entering the industry. Its curriculum combines advanced hairdressing techniques with essential business and salon management training. It equips students for long-term careers as employees, freelancers, or salon entrepreneurs.
Addressing an industry-wide talent shortage
India’s organised salon sector continues to face challenges in hiring and retaining trained hairdressers. Limited access to formal education and competition from other service industries have slowed professional development. Esskay Hairdressing School aims to bridge this gap by offering consistent, industry-relevant training tailored to real salon needs.
A personalised learning environment in Mumbai
The Mumbai academy is located at Tantia Jogani Estate, Mahalaxmi. Designed with limited seating, the centre offers a personalised, hands-on learning environment, ensuring focused attention and practical exposure for every student.
