Page 1 of 3 Born Against
A self-styled hippie hairdresser who powers scissor moves at her kitsch
strand salon Mad-O-Wot at Carter Road in Mumbai. Shatters mindsets through
her boho chic persona. And lives life on her own terms. Wild child Sapna
Bhavnani on herself...
I've had no formal training as a hair stylist
Just learnt as I moved along. I believe, either you have it or you don't.
You're born with it, simply.
I am a glorified barber
I don't understand the hullabaloo and celeb-branding that hair stylists
carry. How are we celebs? We're simply cutting hair. Not saving the world.
And neither are we Mother Teresa. I say, Save the drama for your Mama
I love what I do
It's my calling. The mindset towards hair styling, make up and fashion
accessorries is changing all the time. Men especially have become more
conscious of their appearance and are better groomed
I moved bag and baggage to the US when I was 18
Went bagpacking a la vagabond all across US of A for 14 years. Returned to
India three years ago
I am a double major in marketing with a minor in public speaking
Though I wanted to go to a fashion school. Worked in a bank post my major,
for three months. Realised it was not happening. Took to bartending, did
kitschy interiors for a salon and a restaurant, penned poetry, bagpacked
to Mexico...That was pure wanderlust
I don't think my tattoos are my USP
Never counted them as a matter of fact. And cannot understand the ballyhoo
the media whips up regarding my body art either. Abroad, tattoos are
really no big deal. 33 or 330. Here I get talked about more for sporting
them, rather than for my snip prowess
