I am Ali Akduru, and I began my career as a hairstylist on May 18, 2000. With more than 25 years of experience, I am a celebrity hairstylist who has worked with a wide range of clients, including well-known actors, models, and singers. Their satisfaction has always been my priority. My haircutting expertise and professional approach have shaped every stage of my career.
My work has taken me to popular television shows and international events, helping me build recognition and client relationships around the world. Through social media, I have connected with hundreds of thousands of followers and clients who share my passion for hair.
Teaching around the world
In 2013, I began offering advanced masterclasses in professional haircutting and coloring. Since then, I have taught in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, England, Dubai, Russia, Cyprus, and several states across the United States. I have trained experienced hairstylists worldwide, taught at universities, and continue to work as a professional educator and coach.
Awards & recognition
In 2019, I received the Most Notable Hairstylist Award. In 2020, an international jury selected me from 500 hairdressers for the Most Successful Hairdresser of the Year award. I have also received awards from a range of other organizations throughout my career.
My approach
I have built the Ali Akduru name around trust, care, and professionalism as a hairstylist and educator. Every client has individual needs and expectations. I take time to understand them and create personalized designs and styles. I continue to develop my skills and explore new techniques and trends, with a constant commitment to doing my best.
When thoughtful consultation, design, and the right products meet the right stylist, extraordinary results emerge. In the right hands, a change of hairstyle can bring a fresh sense of confidence and make everyday life feel more beautiful.
