Where Hair Meets Art
From iconic red-carpet looks to bold new ventures, Dar continues to redefine the future of hair
In the realm of high-end hair, few names resonate like Dar’s. With decades of experience in the industry, he has evolved from a talented hairdresser into a visionary designer, crafting stunning styles that have graced red carpets, fashion shoots and even royal occasions.
A Legacy of Excellence
Dar’s journey began on London’s iconic Bond Street, where his extraordinary talent for styling shone through from the very start. At Vidal Sassoon, he honed his skills alongside some of the finest hair cutters, mastering the art of precision. Yet it was his intuitive ability to tailor hairstyles to individual personalities that truly set him apart.
Among his iconic innovations are the V-shape cut and the Blunt Bob, both of which have continuously evolved to meet the changing demands of lifestyle and taste.
“I created the timeless Blunt Bob for British fashion icon Karen Millen, which went on to feature prominently in the Daily Mail,” Dar recalls. “The V-shape has captivated audiences worldwide, both in person and online. Trends may come and go, but the principle remains — framing a woman’s best features, boosting her confidence, and creating a signature ‘Dar’ cut that is effortlessly striking.”
“I approach every haircut with precision and artistry, guided by geometry, architectural lines, and the natural shape of the bone structure. Each layer is crafted to perfection, allowing a woman’s hair to move freely while always falling flawlessly into place.”
From fashion legends to radiant brides, Dar has set countless trends. He has crafted some of the most memorable bridal looks for *Asiana Wedding* since the magazine’s inception, establishing a legacy that endures to this day.
His outstanding contributions have garnered prestigious accolades, including the 2025 Global Fashion Week Award in London and the coveted Blue Ribbon Lifetime Achievement Award in Cambodia.
“After dedicating my life to hairdressing, it’s profoundly moving to have my work recognised on an international stage,” Dar reflects. “For me, hair is more than just styling – it’s an art form, a crown people wear every day.”
The Dar Experience
Today, Dar calls Harrods Hair & Beauty Salon on the Fifth Floor home, where clients enter a serene sanctuary dedicated entirely to them.
Each appointment is a bespoke experience – tailored not just to face and hair type, but to personality, mood, and occasion. Whether preparing someone for daily confidence, a red-carpet moment, or a milestone celebration, Dar ensures every style is striking and true to the individual.
His international clientele often travels to London for the signature Dar experience, a testament to his reputation for artistry. The consistency of his work shines through in glowing five-star Google reviews, reflecting the loyalty and admiration of clients worldwide.
“My goal is always to create a look that doesn’t just appear beautiful, but makes my clients feel confident, unique, and happy.” he states.
A Global Clientele
Dar’s chair has welcomed royalty, Bollywood icons, Hollywood stars and fashion legends who trust him with their hair during life’s most defining moments.
Notable clients include HRH Sultanah of Malaysia, Goldie Hawn, Aishwarya Rai, Nicole Scherzinger, Kajol Devgan, Imran Khan and Filmmaker Gurinder Chadha OBE.
His campaigns for Karen Millen and features in the Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, Harper’s Bazaar and Asiana Wedding further solidify his influence. Yet for Dar, the most meaningful moments often arise from everyday clients leaving the salon transformed. “That spark of joy and confidence is priceless,” he shares.
Educating the Next Generation
Sharing his craft has become just as vital to Dar as creating styles himself. Through masterclasses, including those at the Asiana Wedding shows, he imparts not just technique but the philosophy that hair is identity.
“Mentorship goes beyond teaching – it’s about helping younger stylists discover their voice and confidence,” he explains.
Innovating for the Future
Looking ahead, Dar is set to launch his own line of luxury haircare products, designed to bring salon artistry into daily routines. With nourishing, revitalising formulas inspired by decades of expertise, this line is poised to redefine everyday haircare.
Simultaneously, he continues to collaborate with designers and work backstage at international fashion weeks, proving his creativity remains as vibrant as ever.
From exclusive weddings to editorial shoots, Dar’s work carries more than technical mastery – it tells stories, instils confidence and creates lasting memories. Reflecting on a lifetime of artistry, Dar is clear: “The best is yet to come.”
