Amit Dantere, the owner of the salon, said, “As the incident sparked row, we have changed the branding of our salon in honour of women. I had taken the franchise of Jawed Habib 6-7 years ago and left the franchise after this incident.”

In the viral video, hairstylist Jawed Habib was seen using his spit to style a woman’s hair during a workshop. The woman was seen sitting on the stage on a salon chair while Habib prepared to cut her hair while giving hair care tips. “Hair is dirty. Why are they dirty? Because shampoo has not been used,” he said.
