Mr Kapil Kumar
Co-Founder & Chief Mentor
Mr Kapil Kumar
Widely regarded as the founder and mentor of the modern Indian salon industry, Kapil Kumar was the driving force behind the transformation of India’s fragmented barbering and beauty trade into an organised, professional salon industry.
By pioneering the unisex salon concept and introducing structured education, global standards, advanced techniques and professional systems, he redefined hairdressing as a respected profession and built a skilled workforce that powered the industry’s growth for decades.
A master trainer, entrepreneur and industry pioneer, his enduring legacy is that of an ecosystem architect who helped shape the foundation of India’s modern salon industry.
