A quick peek into Rikhil Asrani's philosophy.

Rikoshé Salon

We have designed our salon to be warm, inviting and personalised. Contrary to most commercial salons that try to maximise the billing of a client, our intention is sacred - to bring out the best in your face and make you feel great. This is hairdressing at its purest.

Beauty is all about proportions and changing your hair design is the simplest way to alter the proportions of your face. To do this we use The Rikhil Asrani Method; a scientific approach to hairdressing that was developed by him over almost two decades, and 20,000 haircuts. We use the golden ratio, a universal blueprint for beauty, in our hair designs, giving them a scientific edge.

Rikoshé is where science and art of hair design
blend together

What do you learn at the RA academy?

The Rikhil Asrani Method - A unique and effective approach to hairdressing, developed over almost two decades and 20,000 haircuts.

It uses the Morph Matrix during consultation to determine the best hair length and style for the cli-ent, depending on their personal preference, personality and body type; and combines that with ap-plying the Golden Ratio to determine the right hair shapes and colours to bring out the best propor-tions in the client’s face.

You eventually learn how to combine aesthetics with mathematics to create tailor made, super hit haircuts, colours and styles. This gives you the best platform to become the master of your skill. Ultimately, unlike other methods of hairdressing, R.A.M (The Rikhil Asrani Method) enables you to create unique looks for each client.

Our expertise lies in designing, performing and directing hair shows, guided by the belief that to hold a live audience’s attention, not only do you need to be a master of your craft but an engaging orator as well.

We would love to explore possibilities where we can create shows that bring hair design and art together to bring a fresh perspective to hairdressing and ultimately create an unforgettable experience.

We look forward to collaborating with hair products and equipment companies that want to market their brand at prominent hair and beauty stages or even online events and videos.

Films

We are a filmmaker's best bet when it comes to styling their characters.

  • We always read the script before the shoot and understand the character sketch. This will be the breeziest look test ever. The hairstyles are designed keeping little nuances of the character in mind.
  • It's part of our standard operating procedure to keep track of the characters’ look in each shot and ensure that it's repeated as is, when continuity is called for.

The script and continuity supervisor will thank you for getting us on board.
