ROSE & RIVER, London

Madhavi is an absolute genius and I am so glad that I got introduced to her whilst opening my beauty salon, Rose & River. Madhavi and I initially started working together to create a small range of products that we would use in all our treatments.

I wanted the products to reflect the holistic, natural elements of the salon however I was unable to find anything suitable on the market. I am so glad I chose to work with Madhavi because she made the whole process easy, educational but most importantly.. enjoyable.

We worked closely together on developing our "signature" scent that would be used throughout all of the products, and then we moved on to the development of the products themselves. The process is incredibly intricate and as someone who had never developed products before, I was so glad that I had Madhavi to guide me through.

She has such an incredible wealth of knowledge and I could not have done it without her. We used the products in our treatments for about 9 months and they got such a fantastic response from our customers that we decided to turn them in to retail. We worked together to adapt the formulas and products so that they would be suitable for home use, and we added my favourite product of them all. Madhavi is a dream to work with and not only is she a wonderful human, but she taught me so much in the process, making the whole experience and challenge of creating our own products an absolute joy.
