Role you're checking

Barber / Hairdresser

Trades

Barbers and hairdressers in India cut, style, colour, and chemically treat hair for men, women, and children across a wide spectrum — from ₹50 neighbourhood haircuts in tier-2 towns to ₹3,000 precision cuts at Toni & Guy or BBlunt in Mumbai and Delhi. The formal entry path runs through NSDC's Beauty & Wellness Sector Skill Council (B&WSSC) certification at NSQF Level 3–4, private academy diplomas (Lakmé Academy, VLCC, Jawed Habib Academy, Toni & Guy India), or a 1-year ITI Hairdressing & Skin Care trade certificate under NCVT. The organised salon industry — Jawed Habib Hair & Beauty, Lakmé Salon, Naturals, BBlunt, Toni & Guy India, Enrich — employs tens of thousands of stylists in franchise and company-owned outlets, while the unorganised segment (roadside barbershops, home-service platforms like Urban Company) remains massive. Rapid urban premiumisation is driving demand for trained, certified stylists, with colour services, keratin treatments, beard grooming, and bridal-hair packages becoming significant revenue drivers.
