AHMEDABAD, MAY 20
Godrej Professional, a professional hair brand with products in hair care, colour, styling, and treatments from Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL), has unveiled its latest hair colour collection along with a hair fashion show presenting film star Avneet Kaur as the showstopper here on Tuesday, The Surreal Collection, and Strait Smooth, a modern straightening technique, now available across leading salons in Ahmedabad and other parts of Gujarat.
To mark this, Godrej Professional hosted a day-long event that brought together over 200 salonists and stylists from across Gujarat, including Ahmedabad. The event featured immersive training sessions designed to upskill salon professionals in advanced colouring techniques, culminating in a spectacular hair show that showcased the Surreal Collection in all its glory. Adding a touch of glamour to the evening, actress Avneet Kaur walked the ramp, sporting one of the collection’s signature looks.
Abhinav Grandhi, Business Head, Godrej Professional, shared, “For decades, Godrej has been a trailblazer in India’s hair colour market, establishing itself as a dominant force in the retail sector and revolutionizing the industry. Building on this expertise, we ventured into professional hair care with Godrej Professional a few years ago, with a clear vision to empower hairstylists and transform salons into hubs of innovation and creativity.”
Abhinav continued, “Hairstylists today are the ultimate influencers in salons. Their skillset directly impacts the quality of service and the satisfaction of clients. That’s why, over the last few years, Godrej Professional has training thousands of salons across India, providing door-to-door education to nurture the next generation of hairstyling talent. 2025 marks a bold new chapter, as Godrej Professional takes its training and skilling initiative to a national level, with plans to engage 3,000+ salons in 11 cities. As part of this, we have organised the training and hair show in Ahmedabad for hairstylists based in Gujarat. By equipping stylists with the tools and techniques they need to succeed, we are helping them shape the future of hairstyling in India.”
Surreal Collection is India’s first hair colour range inspired by the world’s most stunning natural wonders. Co-curated by Shailesh Moolya, National Technical Head at Godrej Professional; Yianni Tsapatori, Creative Director of Godrej Professional and Najeeb-Ur-Rehman, Technical Ambassador of Godrej Professional, this innovative range brings nature’s palette to life with four distinct looks: Moffee Marvel (mocha and coffee tones of the Pyramid of Giza), Tangerine Dream (copper-gold hues of Antelope Canyon), Roselet Bliss (rose and violet from Serranía de Hornocal), and Moonlit Mist (silver-ash tones of moonlit nights). Each look is powered by Dimension and Colour Play technologies. While Dimension ammonia-free hair colours incorporate peptides and nourishing oils, ensuring healthy-looking, long-lasting colour, Colour Play range delivers vibrant shades enriched with hydrolysed keratin and hyaluronic acid, renowned for their hair repair, strengthening, and moisturizing properties.
Walking the ramp for Godrej Professional hair show, actress Avneet Kaur, said, “Hair has always been my canvas—it changes with my roles, my mood, and my personal style. As someone who loves experimenting with new looks, I was genuinely excited to walk the ramp wearing one of the Surreal Collection’s signature colours. What I love most is how these shades are rooted in the beauty of nature yet feel so bold and fashion-forward. It’s refreshing to see Godrej Professional combining vibrant colour with hair-loving ingredients. And the fact that they’re upskilling hairstylists across Gujarat makes this more than just a showcase—it’s a celebration of creativity and community.”
Godrej Professional also introduced Strait Smooth, a modern straightening solution that transforms curly, frizzy hair into sleek, shiny, and hydrated locks. Powered by Fibre Rebonding Technology, it combines Silk Amino Acids for hydration and flexibility with Hyaluronic Acid to lock in moisture and reduce frizz. The result is smooth, manageable hair with a flawless salon finish.
The stylists participated in interactive training sessions with the brand’s education and technical ambassadors, who demonstrated the Surreal Collection. The session was helmed by Yianni Tsapatori, who shared tips to introduce them to the latest hairstyling techniques using Dimension and Colour Play range. Shailesh Moolya spoke about the new Strait Smooth range, alongside Najeeb Ur Rehman.
The Surreal Collection and Strait Smooth Range are now available at leading salons across Ahmedabad and Gujarat.
