Sarah Silsbury is the Secret Shopper of Dubai, the stylist women call after divorce, menopause or a life that stopped fitting.
In this conversation she reveals why she congratulates divorced women, why nobody looks good in skinny jeans, and why brands ignore the customers holding the most money.
You get her honest scorecard on facelifts, Botox, lasers and threads, the mirror rule that pulls you out of a slump, the peach line that ends people pleasing, and the persona trick that makes getting dressed feel like play again.

Callum and Paul, the stylist and colourist behind By The Boys in Dubai, were weeks from moving to LA and filming a Netflix show when COVID shut everything down in March 2020. They had already handed back their UK salon, given up the house and thrown the leaving party, so they moved to Dubai and built a brand people were chasing before it had a front door.Across 44 minutes with Noona Nafoosi, you get the full LA story, how Callum grew his first salon from age 19 to a £2 million turnover with 42 staff, why By The Boys pays uncapped commission instead of salaries, and the emotional weight hairdressers carry for their clients. It ends with the plans for salon number 2 and a round of Noisy Noona questions that nearly broke the host.Chapters:00:00 Introduction02:50 The LA dream and Netflix04:32 COVID and the Dubai pivot06:11 A stylist and colourist double act11:23 A salon with no door18:18 Dyslexic at 19, £2 million later21:00 Hairdressing's hidden millionaires23:05 No salaries, uncapped commission24:46 The trauma bomb behind the chair30:13 Nosy Noona questions40:41 Salon number 2Connect with Callum & PaulInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bytheboysdubai/ https://www.instagram.com/paulstandenmay.colour/ https://www.instagram.com/callumstandenmay/Work with Noona🔹 1:1 Executive Coaching → https://neonoor.com/work-with-us/🔹 Keynote Speaking → https://neonoor.com/services/speaking-events/🔹 Corporate Training & Workshops → https://confidenceclaritystrategycall.as.me/schedule/a95442fe🔹 Coaching Session Questionnaire → https://form.jotform.com/Neo_Noor/coaching-applicationConnect with Noona📲 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/limitlessbynoona🎥 YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@limitlessbynoona🌐 Website → https://www.neonoor.com📩 Email → [email protected] Nafousi is a Master NLP Trainer, executive search veteran of two decades, and the creator of The Limitless Leader Codes.
