Road to success
Shahnaz Husain started her first herbal salon at her house with an investment of Rs 35,000. Since then, there has been no looking back. Today, she encourages housewives to open salons so that they can be financially independent and are able to attend to their family needs. On a positive note, Shahnaz Husain, Founder, Chairperson & Managing Director of the Shahnaz Husain Group of Companies, enlightens: “Franchising is the core for the success of our brand, as we have extended our chain of franchise salons, beauty institutes and spas worldwide, based on the franchise system.”
As far as franchise training in concerned, the company's salons goes through specialised Shahnaz Herbal treatments. They also serve as outlets for its products. A franchisee has to complete the beauty diploma and advanced courses from the Shahnaz Husain Beauty Academy. Each franchise outlet must have a standard look and the feel.

According to Husain: “We already have a global chain of franchise salons, including a Shahnaz Husain Beauty Training Academy in London.
