Biography

A story of craft
since 1996

My Story

I began my hairdressing journey in 1996. Throughout my career I have worked in cutting, colour and hair design, developing my technical approach through education, stage applications and brand collaborations.

For me, good hair is not simply the application of a current technique. Face shape, hair structure, colour history and everyday life must be considered together. I therefore begin every design with an individual plan.

Alongside salon work, I have organised masterclasses and workshops for hair professionals. In my education programmes I share not only technique, but also analysis, decision-making and ways to make results sustainable.

Today I continue my work at KAiMAK Hair Studio in Nişantaşı. Alongside colour, cutting and micro extensions, I continue to develop professional education and creative projects.

"The most beautiful hair isn't the one most in fashion — it's the one that truly suits the person wearing it."

İlhan Kaymak
Approach

Fashion changes. What suits you remains.

A good result begins with a sound decision that considers face shape, natural movement, colour history and everyday life together.
