QUEEN OF THE
BEAUTY BAR
"Right from childhood, my dream was to become a
Nurse, like my mother; but, my parents never allowed me to take up the nursing
line; At the same time, at the back of my mind, I had always wanted to help and
serve people" says Chun Gongliu
Gangmei (28), Nagaland born
Beautician- makeup artist deputed at the Salon in
The Leela Palace,
Udaipur.
"Positive, good comments by the Leela guests is a
real morale booster. I really feel good on such occasions. Thank god, till
today, ever since I joined this hotel in Sept 2012, I never had a case of any
of the guests complaining on my service".
Chun specializes on beauty and make up. When asked about
the qualities of a successful beautician, she replied: first of all one should
be very patient in guest handling; talk less, guests like soft spoken
beauticians; interact with the guests as per his/her moods and finally remember
that it is our skill that will be noted and appreciated by the guest".
Once in a year she visits her home in Dimapur town in
Nagaland. Reading books, cooking, stitching and gardening helps her to
structure her time when she is off the Warren-Tricomi
salon at the Leela Palace Udaipur.
In a talent contest, conducted as part of the employee
engagement initiative conducted last year, she was recognized for her creative
contribution. She made a doormat using the discarded towels- that happens to be
Chun's happiest moment in this hotel.
"Internationally acclaimed Violin Artist Venessa Mae impressed me with her humbleness. Every
guest offers a fresh experience. Prince
William's sister in law Pippa
Middleton had been in Udaipur for a culinary shoot; I was so happy when she
appreciated my service".
The Warren -Tricomi Salon is open from 9am to 8pm. Chun
will be there at 9am and will sign off by 5 pm. Every month she sends money to
her family in Nagaland with unabated regularity." It can be ten to fifty
per cent of my total earnings" says Chun.
Her parents are, presently, enjoying their retired life;
of the seven children, Chun happens to be the third child; elder sister is
married and is living in Canada. Both brothers are into business. Of the
younger sisters one is a lawyer, the other a teacher and the third one, an
Educational Manager.
