Parul Gulati, Founder — Nish Hair
“Being different isn’t a choice. It’s the edge.”
When Parul Gulati entered the hair industry,
extensions were something people hid.
She saw something else -
a tool for expression.
So she didn’t just build a product.
She rewrote the narrative.
Hair became fashion.
Experimentation.
Identity - without permanence.
Because the real insight was simple:
People don’t always want to commit.
They want the freedom to change.
And that shift changed everything.
Today, Nish Hair isn’t just selling hair
- it’s selling confidence, flexibility, and control.
Because the best brands don’t follow demand.
They reshape how people think.
