"We all knew she was a whore. " "My son is a murderer, but she deserved it.

" "I can't believe this celebrity wanted scissors for that. " These statements are true and unbelievable, yet such confessions are not unheard of by hairstylists.

Hearing conversations that lead to the wildest, funniest, and, at times, scariest stories is only the beginning of conversations clients have shared with their stylists. There's a specific code of ethics that comes with any profession involving client confidentiality, and there are times when there is a strong desire to break that code and reveal what is too good to keep to oneself.

Salon Confidential is told from the perspective of six hairstylists: one male, Matthew, the manager, and lead stylist, and five females: Isabella, Lexi, Celeste, Arianna, and Gabby. The stories shared occurred throughout their careers, taking place in a fictional town and hair salon out west.

On June 9, 2000, My Preference Hair Studio in Lockston, Colorado, opened its doors. The hairstylists have not stopped talking since.

Their conversations are ones they have guarded closely for years, knowing it would be professional suicide if they ever disclosed what was told in private. What turned into a successful hair salon also became the focal point of intriguing, scandalous, alarming, and humorous stories.

Inspired by actual events, Salon Confidential allowed stylists to safely release those pent-up conversations, providing readers with entertainment while fueling their curiosity about conversations told in private. This collection of stories will leave readers wondering if a chapter is about them or someone they know.
