I am Mehak Batta from BSC. Beauty And Wellness, Symbiosis Skills and Professional University. I am pleased to inform you that I have finally completed my book “Joyous hands and happy feet” which is the first-ever book written by an Indian author on the subject of manicure and pedicure. My 321 pages book will help the readers gain knowledge about the manicure and pedicure procedure and on top of it about the history, equipment, trolley setup, and much more. This book is useful for people who want to enter the field of cosmetology or for anyone who wants to enhance their knowledge in the beauty industry. The journey which started a year ago has finally come to an end with my book being published on Amazon and I would request you all to buy this book. It would be a great support. As of now, only the Kindle edition is available. The paperback edition is launching on 7th June 2021.

I would also like to take this opportunity to place on record my appreciation for all love, guidance, and inspiration I have received from my teachers and guides in Symbiosis Skills and Professional University.
