It is practically impossible for any employee to ask for salary hike since it may backfire if your boss says no. Will look terribly awkward from next day onwards to work with him. Relationship may spoil.
The best option for asking salary hike is first to find a new opportunity and get the offer letter and tell your boss that I will quit if I am not offered the salary hike. If you are worth, your boss will retain you or else you can say goodbye

If you feel that such approach will backfire then the organisational culture where u are working is not worth continuing there. So Immediately start searching an opportunity to work with open minded boss. With such a change u will automatically gain by negotiating better terms as well as better choosing a better organisation. Please don't say that organisations having such professionals are not there. U have to sacrifice some short terms benefits to find out life long good things. Be positive.
