Sinceshe was a teenager, Nisha Javeri has been a headturner. Named as among the most beautiful women in India by magazines for whom such stuff matters, Javeri decided to capitalise on her looks. Seven years ago, she opened the Myrah Spa, a natural beauty and wellness centre that brings in the gilded ladies by the flock. Javeri is now launching Vagheggi, an Italian “bespoke” cosmetic range.
Excerpts:
Tell us about Vagheggi?
Vagheggi adopted the ‘Green Oriented’ approach way back in 1975, when this was still not trendy. Research and development of products uses elements and properties from nature. They use more than 300 raw materials of extracts, essential oils, molecules of flowers, plants, roots, algae and minerals. Vagheggi Phytocosmetici is 100 per cent made in Italy— even its research, development and testing— which makes Vagheggi the most advanced “bespoke” cosmetics, each meticulously studied and chased to become part of a particular product for a certain need.
How did you turn Myrah from a tiny beauty boutique to a luxury destination?
Myrah is not just another spa but a luxurious wellness brand. Constant innovations in therapies, treatments and training are the norm du jour here. Our products and treatments are connected with physical, mental and spiritual health. We are one of the only spas that offer
pre-natal treatments and have a doctor on board for the same.
How did you go from being Mumbai society’s It-Girl to a successful entrepreneur?
As a child, if anyone asked me what I wanted to do I’d tell them I wanted to have my own business and run a huge empire. I started working with my dad at 16 but when I got married at 21 and had my son, I quit. The natural thing to do, when my son was 10 and did not need me as much, was to follow my dream.
You are your best brand ambassador. What is your skincare routine?
I have always been very particular of my skin and have an exhaustive routine. I use a face pack every day to deep clean, nourish and hydrate my skin (since I was 20). I exfoliate every other day , use a regenerating serum every night and never leave the house without a sunscreen.
You still make it on the Most Stylish People list. What does fashion mean to you?
Fashion is about being comfortable in what suits your body and age. I would not wear something that would not suit me just because it’s fashionable nor would like try to dress like a teenager at 42.
