Virat Kohli, known for his cricketing skills and sense of style, caused a stir on social media with a bold new hairstyle before IPL 2024, crafted by celebrity hairdresser Aalim Hakim.
Aalim Hakim Revealed How Much Does Virat Kohli’s Hairstyle Cost
Hakim, famous for styling top cricketers like MS Dhoni, shared insights into his work, revealing that his pricing starts at a “minimum of ₹1 lakh per session.”
“My fee is very simple which everybody knows how much I charge. So, it starts from Rs 1 lakh. That’s the minimum,”
Hakim shared during an interview with Brut India, hinting at the cost of his services for Virat Kohli’s hairstyle without explicitly stating it.
He added: “Mahi sir and Virat, they are very old friends and they have been coming to me for haircuts for a long time. And since IPL was coming now, so we decided to do something cool and different. And Virat always have references that ‘we need to try this, we will try that next time’,”
Furthermore, Aalim Hakim discussed Virat Kohli’s hairstyle for IPL 2024. Detailing his approach with Kohli, Hakim revealed aspects of their enduring friendship and the cricketer’s willingness to explore new styles. Kohli’s recent hairstyle, characterized by eyebrow slits, faded sides, and a hint of color, garnered significant admiration and interest. He said:
“So we keep chatting all the time that what should (be) the next look. This time we decided to do something really cool. We did a slit in his eyebrows and kept the sides a little fade, a little mullet at the back. The texture can show and yeah, and we did a little colour in the hair. So when I posted the picture, it really broke the internet and the amount of shares and likes I got on my post, that was insane”
He added: “And he has an immense fan following. People follow Virat Kohli all over the world. And Virat Kohli is a big sensation when it comes to fashion and aesthetics. His own aesthetics are so strong when it comes to fashion. He is not only one of the best but he is the best player in the world. But also when it comes to style, fashion, he is number one. And when we talk about Dhoni, I visualize Mahi in a very different way. For me, he is not less than any Hollywood actor. I always visualize him as a star, as a cool guy. So whenever there is an ad film shoot happening, I always request him, ‘Let me record you or let me do some photo shoot from my phone. And then I’ll post it later whenever I feel like.”
