Musician, photographer, hairstylist and educator, Calle Lindroth has worn many hats. The constant, however, has been his love for hair and fascination for Asia. Based out of Shanghai, he travels across the continent imparting education through seminars and workshops. He shares with Salon India, his journey, the special India connection and plan for the future.

The initial years
I come from a hairdressing family. My dad, a hairdresser, owns Salon Lindroth in Stockholm. My earliest memory is of sitting in the salon looking at women with blue hair, hairspray flying around and big round brushes. It was mesmerising! However, it was not what I wanted to do. Like any kid, I wanted to be rich and do something cool. So, I worked at a bar, grocery stores and then, I got into music. I formed my own band called City Trash. Then my dad said ‘Get a decent job’. So, I thought of joining the hair industry.
Professional education
In 2002-2003, I joined the Academy of Hair in Stockholm, for a Foundation Education to become a hairdresser. In 2007, from Sanrizz Salon, I did the Re- Education Staff Trainee System for a duration of three months.
