The Transformer

Having trained under his father Halim Kairanvi,Indias first celebrity hairdresser who styled for the likes of Dilip Kumar,Sunil Dutt,Amitabh Bachchan and Vinod Khanna,Hakim learnt the ropes when he was 16 years old.

The show will show me transforming my clients persona with cuts,hair colour jobs,patterned beards,hair art and tattoos, says the hairstylist.

One of the showcases is of Hakim giving Ranbir a biker dude look for a photo shoot. The series will also see me jet across cities to work out a new look for Ajay Devgns next film and transform him from a bearded,at-home guy to a moustached hero of the 80s, he said.

Viewers will get to watch Roshan getting three distinctive looks for an advertisement campaign. The best was joining Saif (Ali Khan) on an exclusive tour of his treasure trove a collection of shoes,sunglasses and watches. Saif will share secrets about his prized possessions,his idea of style and how to keep shoes gleaming with champagne, said Hakim.

According to Hakim,the novelty of the series it has five episodes to begin with is that viewers would get to watch all that unfolds behind the scenes in the vanity van,the green room and the journey of the creation and making of a look. No one has ever seen how actors get that style or appearance from their tattoos,sunglasses,wardrobes,accessories. The show will tell all, says Hakim,who is an Anthony Bourdain fan.

I feel a makeover can boost that ego and confidence to great levels. Good hair makes you look gorgeous,highlights the features and makes one visible, says the style guru,who would be giving Ranbir a crew cut in his next fim Yah Jawaani Hai Deewani.
