Beauticians all over the country cash in on the excesses of vanity and the emphasis on the superficial as clients fill up their appointment books and subsequently their pockets. Jowelle De Souza, owner of Hair by Jowelle, in San Fernando, commented that the Carnival season generates a lot of consumer traffic for her business as both local and foreign clients seek to change their look. She said that she sees an increase of more than 30 per cent in profits during the lead up to Carnival Monday and Tuesday as clients prepare for parties as well as mas on the road. The business of beauty can be very lucrative especially during our major festivals. We play pretty mas and make sure that from head to toe we epitomise beauty. Most beauticians can agree that during the Carnival season, business is booming.
