RECEIVING LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Ruhana Iqbal, a world class beautician and former President of Pakistan Hair and Beauty Association (PHABA), received the Lifetime Achievement Award from Organization Mondiale Coiffure (OMC) recently. It was an honour for the country as well as Ms. Iqbal to receive this prestigious international award. Ruhana Iqbal’s journey in the beauty industry spans 45 years shaping its growth and development. One of her most significant contributions was the founding of the Pakistan Hair and Beauty Association 35 years ago. This association has been instrumental in promoting education and unity among beauticians and hair stylists in Pakistan.
Ruhana Iqbal’s association with OMC began ten years ago due to Nayana Karunaratne, who introduced her to this global platform. Since then Pakistan has continuously been participating in OMC events, showcasing the talent and creativity of beauticians here. Ruhana Iqbal has had the privilege of representing Pakistan multiple times in the Asia Pacific Championships. Ms Iqbal in her speech acknowledged that the award was not just a recognition of her personal achievements but also a testament to the dedication and hard work of her team, colleagues and the entire PHABA family. She added that she looked forward to continuing the partnership with OMC in future championships with the talented Pakistani beauty professionals making their mark on the global stage.
