The story of Sabah and hairdresser Naim, a story of success, friendship and stardom
Naim's salon in Beirut attracted the ladies of the high society, and Sabah was its shining star. It is true that he styled the hair of many stars and famous women, but his name and Sabah's were linked together, and they embodied Lebanon in its most beautiful days of glory. Naim celebrated the anniversary of the establishment of his salon every year, as the salon would be crowded with flowers and candles and sweets would be served from morning until the candles on the cake were blown out, and Naim would be surrounded by the ladies of society.
With the outbreak of war in 1975, Naim traveled to France where he opened his salon. Several years later, he moved to London where he opened his salon, which is visited by European and Arab society ladies. This photo was taken by Al-Mawed lens in Naim’s salon in Beirut, where he was putting the finishing touches on the hairstyle he created for Sabah.
