Nicolas Waldorf : The French hairdresser who bet everything on passion

Today, we are meeting with Nicolas Waldorf. Destined for a career in law, Nicolas changed course after a chance encounter revealed his true calling. Born as one of a set of quadruplets in France, blending Vietnamese and Sicilian heritage, he dared to follow his own path and train as a hairdresser. He built his salon with the support of his loved ones, captured national attention on French television, and founded a nationwide support network for fellow hairdressers to elevate the profession. And he has just opened the first Kérastase hair spa in Paris! In this new exclusive episode, Nicolas shares his successes and failures, as well as his vision for the future of salons, from embracing wellness through ultra-premium experiences to keeping emotion at the core of every transformation. Tune in for a generous, inspiring conversation about resilience, boldness, and the power of reinvention. A podcast series produced by L’Oréal Professional Products.
