“ Vasantha brings his soul to his work. His passion is almost contagious and evident in the work of Kess & the team. Uncompromising on standards and always tuned into what’s going on globally, Vasantha is a true International Star. I want to congratulate Vasantha on this new venture and glad that many young people in this country will now have the opportunity to learn from him.”

“What crazy times we have had together over the last 35 years. The fashion shows, the shoots, events, private travel getaways, spiritual conversations and so much more. There are many things my good friend Vasantha knows about me and what he knows most of course is my hair! Thank you for the friendship and for all the creative styling through my fashion career!”
