At just 24, Shiwani Sharma is more than a beauty professional – she’s a trailblazer redefining what it means to turn passion into power. What started as a teenage fascination with makeup, nails, hair, and lashes has evolved into one of Nepal’s most inspiring entrepreneurial journeys.

With three thriving salons and a growing academy under her brand Mane Muse by Shiwani, she’s proof that when creativity meets courage, dreams can turn into empires.

From Passion to a Thriving Brand

Shiwani’s journey is a beautiful blend of artistry, ambition, and authenticity. Inspired by her mother’s resilience, she decided early on that she wanted to create something of her own.

“I was 17 when I realized this was more than a hobby – it was my calling,” she recalls. “Starting my own studio was about creating a space where people could feel beautiful, confident, and empowered.”

That vision took form nearly three years ago with the opening of her first Mane Muse studio. Today, the brand has expanded into three full-service salons and a professional beauty academy, positioning Shiwani as one of the youngest entrepreneurs setting new standards in Nepal’s beauty industry.

The Mane Muse Experience

Mane Muse by Shiwani isn’t just a salon – it’s a creative sanctuary. From nails and hair to makeup and lashes, the brand offers an all-in-one experience that blends luxury with care. But what truly sets Mane Muse apart is its philosophy: quality, creativity, and empowerment.

Every service at Mane Muse is designed to go beyond surface-level beauty. Clients walk out not only looking radiant but feeling confident, cared for, and inspired. The academy arm of Mane Muse extends that same ethos – giving aspiring beauty professionals hands-on training and mentorship to grow their craft with purpose.

Shiwani’s Expert Tips for Everyday Beauty

Whether you’re a minimalist, a makeup lover, or someone always on the go, Shiwani believes that beauty begins with small, consistent rituals.

For healthy beauty habits:
Nails: Keep them clean, moisturize cuticles daily, and never use them as tools.
Skin: Cleanse gently twice a day, wear sunscreen, and hydrate often.
Lashes: Always remove makeup before bed and avoid rubbing your eyes.
Hair: Oil your scalp weekly, use a mild shampoo, and never skip conditioner.
Makeup: Remove it nightly and let your skin breathe.

For busy women on the move:
Nails: Apply a clear strengthening coat every few days.
Lashes: Use a lash serum and quality mascara for a natural lift.
Hair: Refresh with dry shampoo between washes.
Makeup: Choose multitasking products like tinted moisturizers or lip-and-cheek tints for a quick glow.

DIY Beauty Secrets by Shiwani

Shiwani swears by simplicity – embracing natural, at-home remedies that work wonders without breaking the bank.

Nails: Massage cuticles with coconut or olive oil for strength.
Hair: Apply a yogurt and honey mask weekly for soft, nourished locks.
Skin: Use a turmeric and honey mask to brighten and soothe.
Makeup Tools: Clean brushes regularly with baby shampoo and warm water.
Lashes: Apply a light layer of castor oil overnight to boost growth naturally.

Empowering Through Beauty

For Shiwani, beauty is more than appearance – it’s about empowerment, confidence, and self-expression. Through Mane Muse by Shiwani, she continues to inspire young creatives to dream boldly, work passionately, and build with purpose.

Because in her words, “When passion meets purpose, beauty becomes power.”
