Our Story
"The father of Indian hairstyling — whose scissors have shaped the look of a nation."
Habib Ahmed didn't just build a salon — he created India's most storied beauty legacy. Born and raised within the hallowed grounds of Rashtrapati Bhavan, he became the trusted stylist for India's most powerful figures, from Prime Minister Pandit Nehru and Indira Gandhi to President APJ Abdul Kalam, and icons like Rajesh Khanna and Imran Khan.
Today, that legacy lives in every Habibs salon across the country. When you become a Habibs franchisee, you don't just open a business — you inherit 80+ years of trust, brand equity, and craft that no new brand can replicate.
Clients of the Habib legacy include:
