Amit Thakur Biography

Celebrity hairstylist from Mumbai known for styling top Bollywood stars and running a salon and academy.

Early life and background

Amit Thakur was born on 26 October 1991 in Mumbai, where he also grew up and completed his schooling at St. Xavier’s High School. He pursued higher education in Mumbai and holds a B.Sc in Communication & Mass Media. Early exposure to hair salons through time spent at a cousin’s establishment sparked his interest in hairstyling, and by age 20 he decided to pursue it professionally.

Career

Thakur trained with L’Oreal Professionnel India to develop his technical skills and went on to build a reputation as a celebrity hairstylist. His first notable break came when he styled Huma Qureshi for public events, and not long after he was showcasing work at fashion week. Over the years he became a sought-after stylist for red carpets, film promotions, photoshoots, weddings, and brand campaigns.

He has styled many high-profile Bollywood performers, including Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, Jhanvi Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Tiger Shroff, Yo Yo Honey Singh, and Nayanthara for her wedding. His work has appeared in major Indian fashion and lifestyle magazines such as Vogue India, Elle, Femina, and Grazia India. Specific film-related credits include working on looks for Deepika Padukone in Padmavat and styling Katrina Kaif for promotions of Bharat and Sooryavanshi.

In addition to client work, Amit co-founded Manemaniac Hair Studio in Mumbai with fellow hairstylist Amit Yashwant. The studio serves celebrity clients and is positioned in Bandra West. He also established Mane Masters Hair Academy, where he and his team train aspiring hair artists, sharing industry techniques and professional practice.

For high-profile projects such as weddings and film promotions, he has described working closely with actors and makeup teams to plan looks in detail, sometimes creating comprehensive documents to ensure a seamless execution on the day of events. Several celebrities have complimented his professionalism and trust in the creative process.

Media coverage has followed both his creative work and moments of public attention. In 2017 his name surfaced in relation to a widely reported leak, and media outlets subsequently contacted him for comment. He later clarified the matter when approached by reporters.
