Because hair matters: Top celebrity hairstylists in Bollywood

Adhuna Bhabani, Pompy, Kareena Kapoor Khan

Aduna Bhabani

Yeah, she doesn't need an Akhtar anymore. We mean, the surname anymore (remember, she's legally divorced?). The feisty lady made her way into the star-studded Bollyland with the movie 'Dil Chahta Hai'. Having started her career at a tender age of 14 as a hair-styling intern in the UK, she's won critical acclaims for her work in movies like 'Lakshya', 'Don' and 'Baar Baar Dekho', to name a few. Adhuna has her own line of products and also runs the successful salon chain, BBlunt.

Aalim Hakim

This man needs no introduction as his clientele includes the who's who of Bollywood. A hot favourite of B-town celebs like Sidharth Malhotra, Bipasha Basu, Arjun Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan, he's carried his father Hakim Kairanvi's legacy quite impressively. Even star cricketers including Dhoni and Tendulkar use his skills to quirk up their hair while making public appearances.

Sapna Bhavnani

You might have spotted this lady in Bandra quite a few times (she frequents coffee shops and fashion stores). The tattooed lady owns the salon 'Mad O Wot Salon' in the suburbs of Mumbai and is one of the most-loved celebrity hair stylists in Bollywood. Whether it's Hrithik Roshan or Priyanka Chopra, she seems to have weaved her magic spell on almost every star in B-town.

Purshottam Hans aka Pompy

Lovingly known as Pompy Hans, he's the man behind Kareena Kapoor Khan’s gorgeous locks. He started his stint as a hairstylist at Lakme in Amritsar and came to Mumbai for styling the Begum during 'Kambakkht Ishq'. As destiny would have it, the actress never let him leave. Today, his clientele includes names like Sophie Choudry, Kiara Advani and Parineeti Chopra. What's more? We love the selfies he keeps sharing with his gorgeous clients.

Jawed Habib

Did you know that Jawed has carved his name in the Limca Book of World Records for giving a whopping number of 410 haircuts in a day? Crazy, isn't it? The official hair stylist for Femina Miss India, he has salons all across India and can be called the undisputed ruler of hair styling in India.

They decide the fate of Bollywood stars (umm, almost metaphorically). The scissors go snip, snip, even before celebrities realise that their hair is taking on wondrous shapes. It’s their call and they have the power to make or break (rather destroy) looks. From churning out ‘Oops’ to causing wowilicious #OOTD moments, celebrity hairstylists are the only reason why we still remember Dev Anand’s signature ‘puff’ hairstyle, Kajol’s bob in ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ or Aamir Khan’s bald ‘Ghajini look’. Those hairstyles created history and in the process, stole a part of our hearts too! All that jazz of grandeur-filled ensembles to dreamy makeup trends goes in vain if a hairstylist fails to create magic with his/her final touches. (Also Read: Starry splash!
