Last Updated:
Popular hairstylist Aalim Hakim has revealed how much he charges for a single haircut.
Celebrity hairdresser Aalim Hakim has confirmed that he charges Rs 1 lakh per session for celebrity haircuts, with an additional Rs 18,000 as GST. He said that while he doesn't charge close friends, he follows due protocol when it comes to their movie assignments. 'If they will earn through the project, then I have a right to earn as well," he told Bollywood Bubble. Aalim Hakim has given haircuts to Ranbir Kapoor, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Suniel Shetty, Ranveer Singh and MS Dhoni among others.
When asked if he charges Rs 1 lakh for haircuts, Aalim said, 'This is the price for everyone. This is the minimum price, actually. If a person wants Aalim Hakim to cut their hair, Rs 1 lakh is the minimum. This is a per-sitting cost. If I'm called for 10 or 15 sittings, then the cost goes up to Rs 10 lakh or Rs 15 lakh. It's a metre down situation. It's not like I'm forcing anybody to pay, but this is my consultation fee."
He explained, 'They pay because they see the results on screen. If they weren't seeing the results, why would they pay? I'm not the only person in town. So many of my assistants have gone on to start their own businesses, and people hire them thinking that they've been trained by me. Everyone goes to school, but not everyone becomes iconic. If this were the case, everybody would become as talented as Amitabh Bachchan after watching his movies."
Aalim was also asked if his salons quote the same fee for haircuts. He explained that he doesn't personally work at his salons since everyone would only ask for him. As such, the prices are much lower. He said, 'My salon is packed at all times, our prices start from around Rs 2500 and go up to around Rs 6000. It's not very expensive." He explained, 'Think of it this way, would Manish Malhotra cater to every client himself?"
Aalim Hakim's most viral looks include Ranbir Kapoor's look for Animal, MS Dhoni's look for Lays' TVC, Ranveer Singh's looks for Make My Trip ads and Virat Kohli's looks for Puma ads as well as his iconic fade cut.
