Looks Apart

Hair and skin experts dish out career-friendly advise

Ever wondered how even after a tedious,long-haul flight that extends into many hours,the air-hostess greeting you on you way out looks fresh as a daisy? It’s a tad hard to imagine how her hair’s in place and the makeup is intact! “Being presentable is of utmost importance in the aviation industry,” we hear the lady dressed in white address a group of students at the Flying Cats,the air hostess training academy in Sector 8. She’s Esther Kinder,technical educator with the international Keune Academy and this Tuesday saw her come to Flying Cats along with hair advisor Wasim Ahmed to conduct a grooming workshop for the students. “For a career as an air hostess,students need to look at grooming very seriously. That’s where we step in,” mentioned Kinder who has worked out a special module for students of BBA,Aviation,Tourism and Hospitality and Air Hostess Training. “Not only does the makeup have to be stylish but it must be subtle,long lasting and in sync with the outfit,” explained Esther to the students who furiously took down notes. So in came step-by-step guidelines to perfect makeup and skin care. “These days a pearl finish makeup also known as natural makeup works best for those on the move. The idea is to look pretty and fresh without being made up,” explained the expert who was also happy to guide the young learners on products and home remedies.
