Throughout history, trailblazers have always made bold lifestyle choices and stylistic decisions, whether wearing the fanciest materials, exploring breathtaking locales, shaving with cutting-edge tech, indulging in decadent delicacies or engaging in discerning experiences with choice people. As a roadmap to this type of elevated living, billions of watching men have taken influence from leaders in industry and thought to themselves: ‘Yeah, I’ll give that a go’.

Among these voices of  impression are Samuel “Sam” Glickman, a California native, who's fame and impact have exploded since introducing his burgeoning brand and footprint  to the world, via Atlanta, GA.

Impacting the most influencing city in the world became Glickman’s North Star, when he introduced the Georgia Barber’s Network - a beauty community rooted in raising social and service standards for grooming purveyors and industry enthusiasts.  And casting a wider net, the platform educator joined the Cocco Hair Pro team, building the educational program and instructive program tours 

Proudly thriving from a barbering career that spans over three decades, Glickman has traveled the globe, both exhibiting artistic technique and familiarizing himself on trends, practices and lifestyle cues from bevy rich cultures and locale, solidifying the unparalleled point of view he presents through his coveted brand - PRIVADO.

With a flagship salon and grooming suites in Atlanta, the PRIVADO brand services an amalgam of clients - from distinguished ladies and gentlemen to political heavyweights and coveted celebrities.  The brand leads with capability, diversity and sensible functionality, and prides itself in being relatable to anyone who desires elevated grooming experiences, personal touches and life-enhancing services.   

Fall 2024 will expand the brand’s footprint with the launch of PRIVADO Hygenics, a unisex collection of effective everyday grooming products anchored around hygiene. 

Glickman and his footprint stand at the intersection of cultural mastery, entrepreneurial genius and black excellence. That positioning is not only a badge of honor, but also a charge to foster greatness across communities and cultures worldwide. 

Sam actively spends his time educating on pivoting in business for organic startups, as well,  the importance of building, establishing, and maintaining wealth in the African-American community.
