Who's your muse?

RACHNA VIRDI pops this question to the most eminent hairstylists in the industry.

- RACHNA VIRDI

A good hairstylist is a sheer delight. One who transforms our look with a snap of his fingers, giving us major hair goals and inspiration. Wondered how do hairstylists show such ingenuity and inventiveness?

Hairstyling is an art. And every artist has a muse that fuels their creativity, or a role model that sparks interest in their art, one who the artist constantly draws inspiration from.

To celebrate the anniversary issue, we decided to ask some promising hair artists in the industry about their muse, their hair inspiration. The answers that came up were fun, interesting and insightful. We’re sure you’ll enjoy them too.

My favourite hair muse is Mrs Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.. I have been working with her for the last three years and it feels great. I’ve done cover shoots with her, travelled to Doha for the Manish Malhotra show and have done various brand shoots with her. She always wants her look to be worked according to the scene. She always adores a perfectionist and that inspires me more to work with her and to be comfortable. There is a professional understanding between us. Indeed, I’d say, she is the only celebrity who can carry the most difficult hairstyles and yet flawlessly takes the shot.
