more about me.......

Born in Italy, the journey into hairdressing began in 1994 as an assistant in local salons, learning the foundations of the craft through dedication and hard work. In 1996, this passion led to London and the Toni & Guy Academy, a stepping stone that opened new opportunities. A year later, a position at the Trevor Sorbie salon in Covent Garden offered a chance to grow further, and during this time, recognition came as a finalist for the British Hairdressing Awards' Newcomer of the Year (2001-2002) and Best Avant Garde Hairdresser (2002-2003).

Collaborating with esteemed brands like L'Oréal, Wella, Aveda, and Goldwell brought valuable experience and the opportunity to work at international shows in cities like New York, Rome, Buenos Aires, and Milan. Assisting top session stylists during London and Milan Fashion Weeks, contributing to shows for renowned labels such as Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Dior, and Versace, provided invaluable insights into the industry.

In 2004, a new chapter began in Spain as Artistic Director for Tahe Professional, with a focus on teaching and sharing knowledge across Europe. In 2009, Tokyo became home, offering a chance to explore the city's dynamic fashion scene as a freelancer. In 2011, RPH Salon Tokyo was established, aiming to combine creativity and innovation in hair design.

The journey has included teaching courses in Japan, Taiwan, and Italy, as well as participating in international shows in China and Vietnam. Along the way, there has been recognition, including a finalist position for Best Avant Garde at the AIPP Awards (2017-2018) and winning the Best Wig Category at the IBI International Awards (2023-2024).

The focus remains on mentoring the next generation of stylists, fostering creativity, and providing exceptional service to clients. Every step forward is guided by a love for the craft and a commitment to continuous learning and growth. The goal is not just to create hairstyles but to make a positive impact, explore new ideas, and inspire both clients and colleagues alike.
