      Empowering women, one salon and dish at a time – The Sakshi Nath story

      by

      Life

      by Sarah Joseph
      10 mins ago

      IN PARTNERSHIP: How Sakshi Nath ensures her multi-faceted entrepreneurial skill set shapes Dubai’s culinary and beauty landscape as owner of Queens Beauty Lounge and Co-founder of Trèsind.
      Talk us through your background.
      A fashion designer by profession, I began my journey working in New Delhi, India. After getting married, I moved to Nigeria and opened a boutique, bringing my passion for fashion to life. In 2008, I relocated to Dubai and ventured into the restaurant business alongside my husband. However, beauty has always been my true passion and I had long envisioned stepping into the spa and salon industry. From fashion to food and finally beauty, my journey has been a dynamic evolution of creativity and entrepreneurship.
      What inspired you to enter the beauty space and launch Queens Beauty Lounge?
      Beauty has always been my passion. Over the years, I realised the power of self-care and confidence that a great beauty experience can provide. When I saw a gap in the market for a comprehensive, high quality beauty lounge that caters to women’s needs under one roof, I knew it was time to bring my vision to life. Queens Beauty Lounge was born out of my belief that every woman deserves to feel like a queen, pampered, empowered and beautiful.

      Trèsind has redefined Indian fine dining. What was your vision when launching it in 2014, and how has it evolved since then?
      When we launched Trèsind in 2014, the vision was to change the perception of Indian cuisine to showcase its depth, artistry and innovation while preserving its authenticity. We wanted to take guests on a multi-sensory culinary journey, making every meal an experience.Over the years, Trèsind has evolved into a pioneer of progressive Indian cuisine, setting global trends while maintaining deep cultural roots. Today, it continues to push boundaries, offering a dining experience that is elevated, immersive and unforgettable. Queens Beauty Lounge is rooted in empowerment and self-care.
      How do you ensure that your brand aligns with this philosophy?
      At Queens Beauty Lounge, we believe that beauty is more than skin deep, it’s about confidence, self-love and feeling your best. We ensure that this philosophy is reflected in everything we do, from the luxurious experience we provide to the high-quality products we use and the expert services we offer. Our space is designed to be a sanctuary for women, where they can unwind, rejuvenate and leave feeling empowered.
      “There are no shortcuts to building a successful brand”
      What values and leadership principles guide you in running both Trèsind and Queens Beauty Lounge?
      At both Trèsind and Queens Beauty Lounge, customer satisfaction is our top priority. Our philosophy is simple “Our guest is our God and the guest is always right.” We never say no to our clients and always go the extra mile to meet their expectations. This commitment to excellence has helped us build strong and lasting relationships with our customers.

      What are some of the biggest challenges you face as an entrepreneur and how do you overcome them?
      Building a brand from the ground up is never easy. One of the biggest challenges is establishing trust in a highly competitive market. It takes immense effort and consistency to earn trust and stand out. Both the hospitality and salon industries are service-driven and finding the right team is crucial. Building and retaining a skilled team was one of the most challenging aspects, but with the strong leadership of my husband and commitment to quality, we have been able to create a brand that speaks for itself.
      How important is storytelling in design, and how do you use it to create immersive brand experiences?
      Whether it’s in a restaurant or a salon, the space must tell a story that connects with people emotionally. At Trèsind, we use storytelling to create a multi-sensory dining experience, from the flavors to the presentation to the ambiance. At Queens Beauty Lounge, our design is warm, elegant and inviting and clean, ensuring that every client feels pampered the moment they walk in. Every detail matters, it’s not just about aesthetics but about the feeling a space evokes.
      You also balance different roles as a mother and entrepreneur – what’s the key to this?
      Balance is an ongoing challenge but the key is time management and prioritisation. I make sure I dedicate time to both my family and my business, without compromising on either. Surrounding myself with a strong support system both personally and professionally makes all the difference. I also believe in being fully present in whatever I am doing at the moment, whether it’s spending time with my children or leading a business meeting.

      What advice would you give to aspiring entrepreneurs who want to create impactful brands?
      Passion and persistence are everything. Strong work ethics, determination and dedication is the key. There are no shortcuts to building a successful brand, you need to be deeply invested in your vision, continuously learning and ready to adapt. Surround yourself with the right people and don’t be afraid to take risks.
