It's a universal fact that hard work is the key to success. But I had no idea what “hard work” truly meant until I heard the story of Albert Nicomedes and his journey to success.

Better known as Albert Nico, the 51-year-old is today one of the most well-known hairstylists in Malaysia. He is also one of the country’s first leading male models, film actor, dancer (he used to dance for Datuk Elaine Kang!), author of a self-published book and now ... a photographer.
