Our Story – Affinity Salon

Affinity

Our story

Affinity has helped people look and feel their best since 1992. This is how a much-loved Delhi salon became a brand opening a new salon every month.

Affinity is more than a salon; it is a pilgrimage for the discerning. We are dedicated to crafting transformative experiences that elevate the human spirit.

Our philosophy

Affinity began as an affordable-luxury salon serving clients from all walks of life. That promise has not changed: every stylist is trained rigorously, our partnerships with international trainers and high-end brands keep our teams on the latest techniques, and every visit is built around how you want to feel when you leave.

34-year timeline

From 1992 to every city in India

1992
The beginning

Affinity opens in Delhi

An affordable-luxury salon with a simple aim: to make every client feel beautiful and happy.

1990s–2010s
A Delhi institution

Generations of loyal clients

Affinity becomes the family salon for South and Central Delhi. Mothers bring their daughters; stylists build careers that last decades.

2018
The leadership phase

Vinit Dua takes Affinity forward

A long-time client acquires the brand and begins a rebuild of service, satisfaction and culture — redesigned interiors, rigorous training and a new respect for both patrons and employees.

2020
Resilience

Rebuilt through the pandemic

Salons reopen with new hygiene and operating standards. The hard months become the foundation for scale.

2021
The next generation

Siddhanth Dua returns from the US

He learns the business from the ground up — operations, finance, every aspect — and begins building Affinity’s proprietary technology platform.

Today
The expansion phase

A new salon every month

Seventeen salons across Delhi NCR, Affinity Elite inside luxury residences, a salon inside Radisson MG Road and our largest flagship in Model Town.

Next
The vision

Every major city in India

35+ salons by December 2026, starting with Ludhiana, Patna and Bengaluru — and a name people trust the moment they hear it.

Leadership

A father and son, one standard

Chairman

Vinit Dua

A born entrepreneur, Mr. Dua made his mark early across construction, interiors and high-end hospitality. His takeover of Affinity marked a new era for the brand, redefining its approach to service, satisfaction and sanity, and introducing a work culture that values patrons and employees alike.

I was associated with the brand for a long time. I was an old Affinity client myself.

Chief Executive Officer

Siddhanth Dua

A Modern School, Vasant Vihar alumnus and Temple University graduate, Siddhanth worked as a project manager in the US before returning to India after the pandemic. He leads operations, Affinity’s proprietary tech platform and the expansion into new cities.

To understand the business, you have to go through every aspect of it. I still learn something new every day.
