With a legacy that has just turned over a century old, Ali Abdulnaser is proud of his heritage and the skills that were passed down from generation to generation in his family. "My great-grandfather first started the business in Syria; he learned his skills from an Armenian hairdresser and then passed them down to my grandfather, who in turn shared the knowledge with my father-who supplemented what he knew with the flair of Italian hairdressing skills. And now, here I am," says Abdulnaser, who started helping his father in the business at the age of 15 and also trained in London to further enhance his hairdressing expertise.

Having arrived in Malaysia, Abdulnaser first started working for a renowned hair salon before branching out on his own and continuing the family business.

“‘Ramitta’ means ‘peak’ in the Aramaic language, which is the name my grandfather gave the business, and that aptly reflects us, as being at the top of our game and taking the best care of the top of your body,” he shared.
