The Industry Mourns Loss of
Guy Mascolo
Toni&Guy and TIGI co-founder Guy Mascolo passed away on
May 6 after suffering a massive heart attack at his home in Dallas.
Mascolo, whose birth name was Gaetano, was born in 1944
to Francesco and Maria Mascolo.
He and his brother Toni launched
globally renowned hairdressing
company Toni&Guy in Clapham in
South London in 1963. The teenage
brothers learned their hairdressing
skills from their father, himself
a respected hairdresser. As the
business took off, they also launched
their own product line, TIGI, and
GUY MASCOLO
opened salons in the United States.
“Guy had the natural ability of hairdressing since he was 14
years old,” said Paul Joseph, a founding director of Toni&Guy in
Dallas. “He could naturally do whatever he could visualize. He was
a hairdresser’s hairdresser.”
Mascolo was an enthusiastic sportsman with a passion for the
Chelsea football team. He was also a brilliant guitarist who wrote
and produced music for himself and others. He is survived by his
two sons, Guy Junior and Zak (creative director of Toni&Guy New
York), from his first marriage, and two daughters, Emanuella and
Zara, from his second marriage. He also had nine grandchildren.
