Atlas, a strong character in Greek mythology, is shown to hold the earth and the sky on his able shoulders. His strength was such that it was said that even the Gods were weary of him and did not mock him. This analogy holds true for our hair and beauty industry as well. Atlas, for us, are all the hair dressers and make-up artists, who ably carry the weight of the industry on their shoulders and keep moving forward to only herald a bright and prosperous future for the industry.
