Early Years
Anthony Mascolo was born in London in 1959, the son of Italian immigrants, Francesco and Maria Mascolo. The youngest of five brothers, four of which were to become hairdressers, Anthony cannot remember ever thinking of doing anything else except joining the family hairdressing business. By the time he left school he was a competent and fully qualified hairdresser. His first job was in the family’s Toni&Guy salon in South London, where his father and brother Bruno, also worked. By the time the Mascolo brothers opened their first central London salon in 1974, Anthony was already a highly creative hairdresser working on photographic shoots with top photographers.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:
“Today’s pressures on middle-class children to grow up fast begin in early childhood. Chief among them is the pressure for early intellectual attainment, deriving from a changed perception of precocity. Several decades ago precocity was looked upon with great suspicion. The child prodigy, it was thought, turned out to be a neurotic adult; thus the phrase “early ripe, early rot!””
—David Elkind (20th century)
“When the world was half a thousand years younger all events had much sharper outlines than now. The distance between sadness and joy, between good and bad fortune, seemed to be much greater than for us; every experience had that degree of directness and absoluteness which joy and sadness still have in the mind of a child”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
