Hakim’s Aalim is not just a brand, it’s a benchmark for every hair artist. Started in a room with a single chair and shampoo basin, it’s a tale of grit and determination. Today, Hakim has a clientele of several A-listers, but what makes this hairdresser stand out is his unique modus operandi. In a candid conversation, he talks about his struggles, importance of education, and building bonds to excel in life.
