Getting started

I am the fourth generation in my family who is into hairdressing. I was always inspired by the fashion industry and thought a career in hair woul help me to stay close to fashion. Later, my father sent me to Mumbai for hair education and it was my first step into the industry.

Professional background

Despite being good in academics, I chose to dropout of college as I did not enjoy it. Instead, I moved to Mumbai to pursue a course in hair dressing from the BBLUNT Academy. I have trained with Adhuna Bhabani, Avan Contractor, Walter Dorairaj to name a few. I have also attended master classes by Laurent Decreton, Andrew Heisman, Christopher Williams, Kingsley Gomes, Bertram, and a few more.
