Our Story
Glamor Gossip was founded in 2024 by Umair Ayan and Soyeb Islam with one clear vision — to create a salon in Newtown, Kolkata where every single person, regardless of age or gender, walks in as a guest and walks out feeling like royalty.
Having collectively spent over a decade in the beauty industry across Kolkata and beyond, Umair and Soyeb knew exactly what was missing in New Town's growing community — a space that combined refined aesthetics, professional skill, and genuine warmth under one roof.
Today, Glamor Gossip serves hundreds of happy clients across 3 showrooms in Action Area I, Action Area 1A, and Action Area 1D, Newtown, offering everything from precision haircuts and balayage to HydraFacials, gel nails, and full bridal makeovers.
