Founded by entrepreneur Sumaan Naeem

Glamplex quickly established itself as a standout in high-end outdoor hospitality. Under his leadership, the brand captured national attention within six days of launch, after its second video highlighting the unique experience set a new benchmark for experiential tourism. This success became part of a broader mission to inspire more meaningful ways to travel and discover Pakistan.

Alongside Glamplex, Sumaan also launched Wanderlust Pakistan, a pioneering platform that helps hotels, resorts, and hospitality ventures elevate their experiences and connect authentically with travelers. Guided by the belief that impactful marketing begins with creating something worth experiencing, Wanderlust Pakistan supports properties working to showcase Pakistan’s diverse hospitality landscape.

Glamplex was never meant to be just another resort. It’s a vision, an escape, a promise that Pakistan can set global standards in hospitality. Watching it go viral within days was proof that people are ready for bold, beautiful, and daring ideas.

Aurora and Aqua are our more exclusive glamps, but all four Aurora, Aqua, Flora, and Vega have the same room size, vibe, services, and amenities.

The key differences are:

1. Outdoor Space: Aurora and Aqua have more spacious outdoor areas with beautiful scenic backdrops, ideal for pictures.

2. Bed Wall Design: Aurora and Aqua feature black stone-crafted walls with golden accents, giving a more premium look. Flora and Vega have off-white stone walls — Vega with green plantation for a calm vibe, Flora with burgundy flowers for a romantic touch.

3. Jacuzzi: Aurora and Aqua include outdoor jacuzzis, but they are currently inactive.

Each glamp offers a unique feel, but Aurora and Aqua stand out for their outdoor setting and premium interior details.

There was a time in Pakistan when male grooming meant little more than a basic haircut or a rushed shave at the local barbershop. Anything beyond that, whether it was skincare, facials, or even a beard trim with style, was often met with raised eyebrows or brushed off as too much or too feminine. But Paragon Salon stepped in and turned that mindset on its head. With a modern, welcoming space and a fresh approach to self-care, Paragon didn’t just offer services, it sparked a quiet revolution. By making grooming feel normal, enjoyable, and even empowering, Paragon helped redefine what it means to take care of yourself as a man and suddenly self-care wasn’t something to shy away from. It became something to embrace to the fullest!

Changing the Way Men See Grooming

Paragon didn’t just open its doors with a chic setup, it came in with a mindset shift. It made grooming something men could actually enjoy. It wasn’t about being flashy or over-the-top; it was about making men feel good in their own skin. And slowly but surely, the stigma around male self-care started to fade.

What Paragon did so well was make grooming feel natural. Walk into their salon and you’re not just getting a quick trim, you’re stepping into a space that understands what men need. Whether it’s a sleek haircut, a sharp beard line, or a deep-cleansing facial after a long week, everything is designed to make you feel fresh, confident, and like your best self.

More Than Just a Salon

At Paragon, it’s not just about the services (though they are top-notch). It’s the whole experience, the vibe, the people, the attention to detail. The staff doesn’t treat you like a walk-in customer; they treat you like someone who deserves care. No judgments. No awkward moments. Just skilled professionals who know exactly what they’re doing.

And the best part? They’ve made it cool to care about how you look. Suddenly, booking a facial or a grooming session isn’t something to hide—it’s something to share.

A New Kind of Confidence

What Paragon really gave men was permission. Permission to take a break, focus on themselves, and walk out feeling confident. Not for anyone else but for themselves.  They’ve created a space where self-care feels less like a luxury and more like a routine. And the response? Huge. Their following has grown across Pakistan and beyond from Lahore to Oman to the UK. Clearly, the world is ready for this kind of change.

Paragon is building a community and breaking stereotypes by the day. It believes that taking care of yourself isn’t something to be ashamed of but it’s something to be proud of.

So, if you’re still thinking grooming is “not for you,” maybe it’s time to visit @paragonsalonlhr and see for yourself. You might be surprised by how good it feels to invest in you.

Lahore, Pakistan – Mashghalay, Pakistan’s first ever creative community studio, has already transformed the creative scene by introducing the concept of an inclusive studio to the country. Now, it’s taking things a step further with pop-up workshops in diverse, relaxed settings ranging from coffee shops, cafés, festivals, corporate offices, coworking spaces, and even private homes.

This groundbreaking initiative aims to make creative and therapeutic workshops more accessible, in line with Mashghalay’s mission: creativity is for everyone and is a powerful tool for healing the mind, body, and soul.

“Everyone needs a creative workshop, even if it’s by Mashghalay or elsewhere, a pause to discover their creative self and feel whole,” says Amnah Ansari, CEO of Mashghalay. “Creative healing, using your motor skills and senses, brings us closer to ourselves and helps build trust in oneself and the process.”

The flexibility of Mashghalay’s pop-ups allows for greater accessibility for people across the city, with Each venue adding its own dynamic, bringing fresh energy and inspiration. “Jese har khokay mein pepsi milti hai, wese har coffee shop mein mashghalay milay ga” explains Momina Khawar, Managing and Creative Director at Mashghalay.

Fawad Nasir, Brand Manager, adds, “It’s about extending our little home to other communities and creating small wholesome safe spaces across our city. So, anyone who goes out looking, can find a lil Mashghalay around the corner”

Bringing the studio experience into new and unconventional places, these pop-ups are redefining how people engage with art and creative expression. “Above all, we’re giving people more ‘third spaces’ to unwind, hang out and build community” adds Tariq Fawad, Head of Business Strategy at Mashghalay, “Honestly, I’m just glad we finally have something to do besides deciding where to eat again”

Sheikh Iman Ali, our local resident artist, having collaborated with mashghalay on multiple occasion summed it up beautifully: “At this point in time, I’m reflecting on how blessed I am to have the people who make Mashghalay happen in my life. I’m so grateful to God for a safe space that lets you forget your problems.”

This initiative not only breaks down barriers but also fosters community. Mashghalay is proving that creativity is not just an art it’s a vital, healing force accessible to all. With pop-ups “popping up” across Pakistan, Mashghalay is leading the way in making creative expression a fundamental part of daily life.
