HOW WE STARTED...

Toni and Guy Mascolo opened their first hairdressing salon in South London in 1963. It was an ambitious move for the two brothers. Their family had only emigrated to England seven years previous, yet Toni and Guy, still only in their late teens, had gained the confidence to start up their own business. They had been taught both the skills of hairdressing and how to maintain a happy clientele by their father Francesco, who was himself a hairdresser of tremendous talent.

Within a few years Toni and Guy had been joined in the business by their younger brother Bruno and the family had opened two further salons in South London.

In 1972 the brothers opened a salon in Davies Street, just off Berkeley Square in Mayfair. It was a time when sharp, geometric haircuts were the fashion but TONI&GUY offered a more “commercial” feminine slant to this hairdressing movement and their highly individual, feminine haircuts were soon a great success. “Personalised” to suit each client and with a philosophy that each client should be treated as an individual and that her hair should suit her own facial shape, fashion taste and lifestyle, TONI&GUY created a maxim by which they have continued to work.

The mid 70’s saw the beginning of flamboyant hairdressing shows and the Mascolo brothers quickly found that they had a forté for demonstrating on stage and of sharing their ideas. A demand was created both in the UK and abroad.

The great advantage which TONI&GUY have, is the strength of their family. As well as Australia there are Salons situated throughout the USA and Europe.

TONI&GUY moved to Australia to establish the brand in 1995 with the first salon opening on Oxford St, Darlinghurst that November. Now, 15 years later, TONI&GUY spands 35 salons throughout the country.

The Mascolo family's lifelong commitment is the driving force in the hairdressing industry. Through their uncompromising emphasis on education they have impacted and revolutionized the industry throughout the world. TONI&GUY's worldwide presence has allowed the company to experience tremendous growth and continue the vision to consistently build the brand as well as allowing talented and creative individuals to learn the skills that have solidified TONI&GUY fashion and beauty world.
