Salon Confidential
Where what’s IN your head matters just as much as what’s ON it
There’s something about the intimacy of the stylist/client relationship that makes people open up and share their inner most feelings with their hairdresser – things that they wouldn’t even divulge to their best friend.
Hinged on that unique bond Salon Confidential is a brand new four part television series which tackles life’s big dilemmas and issues exercising the nation. If it can be torn apart and analysed over a coffee and a blow-dry, it’s a topic for Salon Confidential.
The brand new show features a cast of recurring hairdressers including celebrity hair stylist Gareth Bromell, barbers and a make-up artist, who use their expert skills to solve not only their clients bad hair days but also their daily dilemmas. Topics featured include love, loss, children and childbirth, ageing, money, dating, sexism, health, diet, body image and anxiety to mention but a few.
This new format allows Irish men and women to have a big, rambunctious conversations that breaks the boundaries of age, profession, location and social class. Each episode poses four big questions to the salon floor, harvesting a broad span of opinions from old and young, urban and rural, middle-class and working class.
In the final episode of Salon Confidential the stylists and their clients discuss whether or not it’s alright to christen your child just to get them into a particular school, when should you stop breastfeeding your child and do we discriminate against people with tattoos?
Salon Confidential concludes on Monday, 6th November on RTÉ2 at 10pm.
