Dhoni, who later became client of a well-known Beauty Clinic - Kaya, was a regular visitor to the 'Manly Beauty Parlour' and the book quotes an employee of the shop while authenticating it's claim.

'Woh toh ab bade aadmi ho gaye hain (He has become famous now)," Guddu, a hair-cutter of the salon is quoted by 'The Telegraph', which is carried in the book.
In an interesting incident, Dhoni had to hide inside the Kaya beauty clinic in Ranchi when he went to get his hair cut in the afternoon and the word spread around that the Indian captain was in the shop.
