Siraj Muneer - En Route To Excellence

Meet Siraj Muneer, Senior Hairstylist at Cut & Style Salon, Janakpuri in Delhi. With an expertise of seven years and undying passion for his craft, Muneer is a true inspiration. He enjoys experimenting and believes that a stylist can never stop learning. He shares his journey with Salon India.

How did you get started in the hair industry? Who has been the driving force/mentor?

I was truly inspired by my brother who is also a hairdresser. I grew up watching him working wonders on clients with the trendiest cuts and styles. I was fascinated to see how happy his clients would get after a makeover. Later, I chose to turn this fascination into a career, and my journey started in 2010. I was fortunate to have Aalim Hakim as my mentor in the initial days. I adore his work and look up to him.

What are the certificates and degrees you have earned? 

I did my certification in hairstyling from Tress Lounge in Chandigarh. I honed my skills eventually while working in different salons and shows.

What were the learnings at your first job? 

After my certification, I joined Strands Salon, Chandigarh as a hairstylist. Here I learnt to work as a team, client interaction and suggested make-overs. This experience opened up avenues for me, as I gained confidence and started believing in my work.

Please tell us about all the places, salons and events, you had worked.
