A good hairstylist is the one who holds the key to changing your look. The one who enjoys working on hair and treats it as a canvas, one who comes with a passion beyond measure for their craft —and their clients totally love them for that. A snip here, a lop there, a lovely hair colour, or a different dimension to hair, and they bring a smile to the clients’ lips.

As a mark of our anniversary celebration, we got a few of our favourite hairstylists to look back and pull out a page from their hair journey, and relate the element they enjoy the most in their craft. We’ve captured all their great hair stories for you. Enjoy reading!

THIS MIRACLE FIBRE CALLED HAIR—THIS IS MY CANVAS. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, CUTTING, COLOURING, STYLING AND FASHION.

It’s been a life’s work and an exciting journey from the very beginning with my training experience in the UK and having had some fantastic mentors to show me the way. Everything has been a milestone—from starting my own business along with my brother to winning hairdressing awards and from our very first salon to a chain of 25 across the country. And from making our Bollywood hairstyling debut to forming our Shoot Department, Shoot Crew that worked with us on the 50+ films that followed after.

Education has always been my passion and the driving force behind my salon story. The setting up of our academy has by far been one of our biggest achievements, crucial to helping us grow our team from scratch and under our own steam. Watching every member of our team learn and grow has given me so much pleasure.
