Melania Trump’s hairstylist shares a glimpse of the First Lady’s “unexpectedly warm side” away from the public eye

First Lady Melania Trump is often portrayed as distant in public, but her longtime hairstylist, Lino Carbosiero, insists she is warm, caring, and kind behind the scenes.

Carbosiero, who styled Melania during a UK state visit and later in Beirut, shared on ITV’s Lorraine that she shows a side few people get to see when cameras aren’t around.

“I see a completely different person from the one people describe,” he said. “She’s warm, considerate, and always attentive. She checks on my assistants, offers them drinks, even gives hugs. She’s unbelievably nice.”

Those who know Melania privately say she is intelligent, funny, and approachable—very different from the aloof image often portrayed in the press. Carbosiero explained that her reserved demeanor in public likely comes from constant scrutiny and judgment.

He also highlighted the tender relationship between Melania and former President Donald Trump. “They have a playful, loving bond,” he noted. “It’s sweet to see the cheekiness between them.”

What stood out most to Carbosiero was how well the Trumps treated their staff. Unlike many high-profile figures, he said, they showed consistent kindness, especially during early mornings when no one was watching.

Far from the “frozen” image often depicted, Melania emerges as approachable, thoughtful, and deeply considerate. To those who know her personally, she is not just a polished First Lady but a genuine and caring individual with a very human heart.
