About the Book
Salon Confidential:
50 Years Behind The Chair
Salon Confidential by Nicolas Salubro is a warm, witty, and deeply human memoir spanning more than fifty years behind the salon chair. From a small barbershop in Settimo Torinese, Italy, to the gritty corners of Brooklyn, the polished skyscrapers of Manhattan, and the sun-soaked humidity of Florida, Nicolas shares the unforgettable clients and life lessons that shaped his career. Meet the billionaire who just wanted to feel like himself again. The gym bro who treated the salon like a workout. The client who glued her hair together with mascara—and her husband’s beard balm. And the woman who left suffered a disaster elsewhere and came crawling back.
Combining humor, heart, and hard-earned wisdom, Nicolas reveals what truly happens behind the chair: transformation, connection, and the quiet magic of making people feel seen. More than a memoir, Salon Confidential celebrates the resilience, creativity, and unexpected relationships between stylists and the people who trust them.
