Between the entry debates, celebrity hairstylist Alim Hakim says that he charges a minimum fee of Rs 1 lakh with Rs 18,000: ‘People are ready to pay Rs 3-5 lakh’. Hindi film news
Celebrity stylist Alim Hakim is considered one of Bollywood’s best hairdresser. Alim has not only styled many celebrities from the screen, but has also made some of the most prestigious on-screen looks for stars in many films, for example, Ranbir Kapoor in ‘Animal’ among many others. In a recent interview, Alim has revealed his fees per session which starts from a minimum of Rs 1 lakh. However, it can also go up.Alim said in an interview with Bollywood bubble, “This is the price for all. This is the minimum price, in fact. If a person wants Alim Hakim to cut his hair, it is a minimum of Rs 1 lakh. It is the cost of seating. If I am called for 10 or 15 seats, the cost goes up to Rs 10 lakh or Rs 15 lakh. This is one meter below position. It is not that I am forcing anyone to pay, but this is my counseling fee. ,He further stated that he does not charge close friends, but works for professional assignments with a GST of Rs 18,000. “If they earn through the project, I also have the right to earn,” he said. Alim revealed that customers are also ready to pay more – about 3-5 lakh rupees. He said, “They pay because they see the results on the screen. If they were not seeing the results, why would they pay? I am not the only person in the city. Many of my assistants have gone to start their own business, and people appoint them thinking that they are trained by me. Everyone goes to school, but not everyone is distinguished. If this had happened, everyone would have become talented as Amitabh Bachchan after watching their films. ,Alim further said that he has really worked hard to come here. “It has worked so hard. No one remembers who was the richest star five decades ago, but everyone remembers Dilip Kumar. I want people to remember me for their work.”Many producers and actors have spoken about the rising cost of stars before. John Abraham earlier said in an interview with Hollywood Reporter India that it is ‘mental’ that stylists charge Rs 2 lakh per day.
