Yara Salman (born 16 August 1994) is a pioneering Bahraini businesswoman, who is the founder of several beauty and hospitality enterprises, including “Yara Beauty Lounge” and “Hospitalia by Yara”. As an entrepreneur, she is the first person to introduce cryotherapy to Bahrain, and in 2016 was the Bahrain Businesswomen's Society's Entrepreneur of the Year.

Education

Born on August 16, 1994 to Jamil Ali Salman, a businessman, founder and president of the Jas Group, and Dr. Hala Al-Sayed, a dental consultant,[1] Salman studied at St. Christopher's School in Bahrain[2] before going on to receive her BA from University College of Bahrain with a degree in Public Relations. She then proceeded to graduate with a Master of Business Administration degree from RCSI Bahrain.[3]

Career

During the opening of several multiple companies and organizations in 2016, she consolidated them under the parent company named the Jameel Salman Group to run all of the restaurants, real estate agencies, entertainment venues, and medical and beauty businesses that she had founded.[4]

Beauty salon

In 2012, Salman opened 'Yara Beauty Salon', a luxury beauty salon in Amwaj Islands in northern Bahrain.[5] The salon features a variety of beauty treatments, including Moroccan baths, a solarium, and cryo suites.[6] Salman was the first to introduce the concept of cryotherapy to Bahrain, which is used to treat minor tissue damage and can be "effective in cellulite reduction and calorie-burning".[6]

Medical centre

In 2016, Salman established 'Hospitalia by Yara', a cosmetic medical centre that offers innovative services in the fields of beauty and health, where she is CEO.[7] The centre also features hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a part of their health tourism outreach.[8] In 2016, she introduced the region's first robotic pharmacy, 'Pharmacia by Yara', which is currently operating as a service from 'Hospitalia by Yara'.[9][10] In 2021, a second branch of 'Hospitalia' opened in Riffa.[11] Salman stated that a main focus of her medical centre is not just cosmetic medicine, but also dentistry and dermatological diseases.[12]

Entertainment complex

Alongside her brother, Mohamed Salman, she is joint CEO of MJ's Bowling Lounge, a high-end entertainment complex, which was opened by the rapper Omarion.[13] Salman announced the opening of the complex in January of 2016 and additional features including a 5 star restaurant, a coffee shop, and a karaoke venue.[14]

Restaurants

While it was during her youth at 17 that Salman began to help her father make simple decisions as his assistant, she started running her father's fast food restaurant business Burger Land soon after graduation.[1] It wasn't until 2019 that she began making major changes to the restaurant chain by opening new locations and changing the menu to focus on healthier options.[15] Four new Burger Land locations were opened in the following year and a new restaurant was opened in Busaiteen in July of 2020. This sit down restaurant removed meat from the menu and focused on several vegan options that were still representative of traditional foods in the Gulf countries, with a particular focus on Pakistani cuisine and spicy foods.[16]

Awards

In 2016, Yara Salman was awarded the 2016 Entrepreneur of the Year award by the Bahrain Businesswomen's Society.[17]
