Anoo's Electrolysis setting up intl beauty school in Hyderabad

Anoo's Electrolysis & Obesity Private Limited, a city-based beauty clinics operator, is setting up an international beauty school with an investment of about Rs 4 crore in Hyderabad.

Addressing a press conference here on Sunday, Ch Anuradha, director of Anoo's, said the institute would offer a bouquet of certified professional courses ranging from make-up and skincare to cosmetology that would help students pursue their careers even in Europe and the US.

The firm owns nine clinics employing about 150 trained technicians in the country, including one each in Chennai and Bangalore besides the one in the US. Anoo's is also into the production of ayurvedic hair and beauty products.

According to Anuradha, though employment and business opportunities in the beauty care market in the country was growing there were not enough institutes with international standards available to produce professionals in the field.

This new teaching facility, which is coming up in 10,000 square feet of office space, will not only have the fully equipped styling areas, designated work stations and specialised equipment and other modern facilities, but will also have a well-qualified faculty, including professors who teach health and anatomy related subjects, she said.

The courses, about 19 of them, would have a duration ranging from 80 hours up to 1,200 hours depending on the nature of the course. The fee would range between Rs 15,000 and Rs 1 lakh.

Anuradha said the company was in the process of getting affiliation from Cedesco and City & Guilds of UK. These entities would issue certificates for the courses run by Anoo's International Beauty School once they grant the affiliation, she said.
