The event took place in Mumbai (India), bringing together some of the most influential names in the hair and beauty industry, serving as a dynamic platform for artists, educators, and industry leaders to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate the craft.
Marking a significant milestone for the Indian hairdressing industry, this edition made history with the presence of Angelo Seminara —one of the most revered global figures in hair artistry— creating a truly landmark moment for the Indian hairdressing community.
The event witnessed the presence of prominent industry figures including Aalim Hakim, Seema V Jerajani, Savion John Pereira, Binaifer Pardiwalla, Kanta Motwani, Asha Hariharan, Raman Bhardwaj, Avan Contractor, and Adhuna Bhabani, making it a notable gathering of leading voices in the industry.
The highlight of the event was a live showcase by Angelo Seminara. His presentation of signature looks captivated the audience, while his detailed breakdown of technique, structure, and creative direction offered invaluable insights into his artistic process. Attendees gained a rare opportunity to understand not just the final outcomes, but the craftsmanship and intent behind each creation.
“It is truly inspiring to have every industry stalwart under one roof. We’ve followed Angelo’s journey for years, but witnessing him live, right in front of us, and understanding the depth of his craft is absolutely mind-blowing. Moments like these remind us why we do what we do, and how powerful it is to learn from the very best,” said Vipul Chudasama, curator of VC Open House.
Sharing his experience, Angelo Seminara added: “These past two days have been truly incredible — filled with beautiful stories, great conversations, and so much joy. It’s been a wonderful experience, and I would wholeheartedly recommend the VC Open House for the future. What touched me the most is the love and passion here in India — the dedication to the craft is something very special. I’ve genuinely enjoyed every moment. In fact, it feels so good here that I don’t feel like going back to Europe… a part of me just wants to stay in India.”
Throughout the event, attendees engaged in live demonstrations, knowledge-sharing sessions, and meaningful interactions, reinforcing the importance of continuous learning and collaboration within the industry.
The next edition of VC Open House is scheduled for 6th July, featuring global industry expert Gary Rom.
