Pablo Kümin

Hair, Make-Up
London, Zurich

Pablo Kümin was born and raised in Switzerland, but started travelling around the world at a very young age. He began his career at Kuhn Intercoiffure, a salon of high renown with its own Academy. Pablo was himself still in his 3rd apprenticeship year, as he started working as a trainer and teaching workshops both nationally and internationally. He has been driven by his passion and ambition from the very start and paired them with swiss perfectionism, so he was able to achieve big goals at a very young age. During his first two apprenticeship years Pablo was already spending all his free time working on productions, shows, shootings and assisting big names in the hair industry all over Europe, when he was awarded Swiss Intercoiffure Newcomer of the year in Rome.

In 2011 he already released two own collections which were featured in several publications, and designed his very first hair dress. In 2012 he joined the agency Scout as hair & make-up artist, he took over a leading position at the Academy and won the Swiss Avantgarde Hairdresser of Year award with his first hair dresses collection. Shows in Switzerland and abroad followed, as well as Balmain Hair and Redken sponsorships, so that he could create his 2nd hair dresses collection, which was published more than 50 times and is still used by Balmain Hair in its worldwide communication.

In 2013 he became first a member of the Intercoiffure Creative Team before changing to Tony&Guy. In the same year Pablo became global ambassador for Balmain Hair and Art Director at Haar Vital, while still working worldwide on shows and shootings, for example at London Fashion Week or in Los Angeles for Global Concept JBH. He also started his own label Pablo Kümin Hair Couture which features dresses and caps made of hair and won three awards, one as Swiss Hairdresser of the Year. Pablo is currently based in Zurich and London and travels from there worldwide for his jobs.
