Hollande’s lawyer Sarah Levy reportedly spilled the beans on the barber’s income to satirical French newspaper Le Canard Enchainé, confirming that Oliver B must be “available for the president 24/7.” He is also under a strict non-disclosure agreement on anything he may overhear while addressing the President’s hair.

One user posted on Hollande’s image the hair of US presidential candidate Donald Trump, with the caption; “'Wait, what did you do to me? This isn't my hair!' 'Oh sorry, I've been Trumped'”
The internet is laughing, and the man who takes care of the hair on the head of the French head of state is laughing all the way to his banque.
