Nazih Hamad

Lebanese/Canadian self-made entrepreneur and Founder of Nazih Group (established in 1975), the largest professional beauty products distributing company in the MENA region and North Africa. Eldest among 9 brothers and sisters who run the family business (born October 3, 1969 in Lebanon). Owned my first beauty salon in Lebanon where I worked as a hairdresser and makeup artist for several years, doing all kinds of bridal and movie actors hairstyles and makeup. Enhanced my skills in one of Beirut’s oldest beauty academies, Charmereine Beauty Academy in 1976. Immigrated to Dubai in 1980 to develop my passion in the beauty industry. Dedicated my career life to the beauty sector as the rapid economic and social growth in the area drove the boom in this industry. Expanded even more by moving to Canada for few years and investing in several businesses. Nazih Cosmetics thriving success soon offered the opportunity for Nazih Group to grow and become real pioneers in various sectors such as manufacturing, professional and retail cosmetics, marketing & distribution, paramedical products, FMCG, hospitality, personal and professional care, food & beverages, printing & advertising, and even real estate development in the MENA region. My focus and mission is investing in educating the team, including hairdressers and dedicating members to own businesses and become future entrepreneurs by providing them with financial support and education on how to manage the business. Launched a foundation for social development AHDA (which means grant in Arabic) in 2010 where all kinds of social and community contributions occur, such as food, clothing donations, as well as financial, medical and educational support. Always thriving to inspire everyone to be creative and innovative by providing them with the latest trends as Nazih Group is Where Beauty Begins.
