A former soccer player, Victhor Alberto started at the age of 17 to style his teammates in youth teams, “that’s done little by little, I was playing at AS Montferrand and one day I styled Mohamed Bayo who was in my team, then when he turned pro, he remembered me and called on my services.“

Hairdresser at the players’ home
Introduced into the locker room, Victhor Alberto has become the hairdresser for most of the Clermont Foot players, before a year ago, to begin to officiate on the side of AS Saint-Etienne, “that’s done naturally, I never thought of becoming a players’ hairstylist“. It also covers some ASM players, such as Judicaël Cancoriet or Samuel Ezeala.
Hairdresser at home, he comes to his clients with his collection of razors in the trunk, like this Friday evening October 5 at the right side of Clermont Foot Akim Zedadka. For the Clermont defender, this pre-match cup is ritual: “I get my hair done every week, two days before the game, it’s important to have a good hair on TV.“
The young hairdresser is quite in demand the days before the match, he goes on trips but without too many original requests: “The Clermont players are rather simple at the cup level, I don’t have too many requests from the Pogba. “ But all the same, who is the most flirtatious player in Clermont Foot? “The question is quickly answered, it’s Jodel Dossou (laughs), with his very remarkable colored crest!”
