In 1960, he began his work in the hair and beauty industry working alongside some of the biggest names, before traveling to France in 1971, to acquire the true skills of the trade under the hands of his mentor the distinguished Alexander de Paris.

He returned to Cairo after two years and established himself as one of the first ‘Haute Coiffeurs’ in the region.
