Salvador Salcedo, originally from Mexico, moved to the United States when he was 13 years old. It was in the US that he discovered his passion for barbering, starting with cutting hair in his garage and then honing his skills through Toni & Guy. Over the years, Sal has become a household name in the beauty industry, working at top salons like Sally Hershberger, Ramirez Tran, and Salon Benjamin, where he created iconic hairstyles for everyone from celebrities and artists to moms and grandmas.

With more than two decades of experience in the art of hair, Sal understands that hair is a medium through which he can understand people and help them express themselves. His high standards and commitment to excellence have made him a leading voice in the beauty industry, a true "Maestro" indeed.

Despite his success, Sal's true dream has always been to create a space where people can come to express themselves and unleash their inner artistry. This led him to establish his own salon, Nova Arts, which provides a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable to explore and grow their sense of self.

As a traveling artist, Sal's #HAIRTOUR has taken him to different cities around the world, where he offers hair transformations to all types of clients. He loves seeking and sharing new experiences and is strongly committed to bringing the best education worldwide. Sal is a man on a mission to expand consciousness and pass on his knowledge to others.

Sal's drive to continuously learn and evolve fuels his mission to help others do the same. In his latest chapter, Sal has expanded his repertoire to include coaching and mentoring - Beyond Hair. Helping others to achieve their goals and reach their full potential.
